President's Report

The Road You Take There's something special going on at Delta Upsilon that I think reaches the heart of our work with college men.

I'm going to brag on one of my fellow DU Board members who will soon move on to greater things in the field of higher education.

Good luck seems to descend upon the men who serve as DU's Chairman of the Board. First it was Rodney P. Kirsch, North Dakota 78, who had been a top fundraiser for the University of California at Berkeley and Indiana University. About a year ago he was snatched up by Penn State to head a capital campaign with a goal of close to $1 billion. We hear he's fating well in this endeavor.

He was succeeded as Chairman last summer by Craig 1. Franz, F.S.C., Bucknell 75. Brother Franz has been executive assistant to the President of St. Mary's University in Winona, Minn., since 1994. Recently, he applied for the presidency of St. Mary's College of California, a 134-year-old, 4,OOO-student institution in Moraga, Calif. A few days ago, we received the happy news that Brother Franz will start a four-year term as President of St. Mary's College effective July l.

(We'll have more on Brother Franz in the July issue.)

Now, first I want to thank Craig for getting the promotion - this track record makes recruiting the new Chaitman easier! But more itnportant is the fact that men who volunteer to lead Delta U seem to be on the same wavelength as the leaders of the colleges themselves.

If DU is to thrive, we must mesh our goals and purposes with those of the colleges and universities whose students we share. I can think of no better way than to have top college

administrators serving DU in advisory positions.

Every college has a mission. Each chapter must match its mission to that of its host college. I would hope that somewhere at each chapter house, or in reading material given to each new DU pledge, there's a copy of that college mission statement. Men embarking on a course of study (and paying good money for it) ought to know for what their alma mater stands.

If DU is at odds with the mission of the college, our life will be sh01t, indeed. But where we match up nicely, our future is unlimited -- 162 years and counting, older than many colleges, by the way!

So, know where your chapter and your college are headed. Remember, if you don't care where you're going, it doesn't matter which road you take.

But for the rest of us, it most certainly does.

Letters to the Editors To the Editors: It was good to read in the January 1997 Quarterly that President James D. McQuaid is emphasizing the fight against many problems such as "too much heavy drinking and antiintellectual activity, such as poor scholarship and a devil-may-care attitude." In my active fraternity days many years ago we did not have these problems, with a few exceptions that were kept quiet. The closing of fraternity houses by civil authorities for gross infractions of civilized behavior has dampened the understanding of the value of fraternities, and sororities, also.

Pure numerical rankings of chapters can be less than meaningless unless the environment and rigor of the specific institution is understood, but still, there is a value in the discipline and competition of competitive ranking, albeit all too arbitrary.

The Chapter Spotlights on page 26 of the January 1997 issue avoided the en'or of undue reliance on arbitrary numbers by listing the chapters alphabetically, but this may go too far in eliminating any competitive stimulation.

May I suggest that a joint ranking based half on grade point average and half on campus rankings to account for the chapter differences may more equitably permit a ranking that is less arbitary even though not pelfect. Headquarters can then work with the lowest ranks to motivate them to improve or take corrective action.

E. L. Tennyson, Carnegie '45 To the Editors: In recent years you have published articles stating that the biggest problem facing fraternities today is binge drinking - how times have changed!

If the above is true, do we not have enough "non-binge" students to become the presidents, congressmen, top ranking business leaders, etc., of the future?

Perhaps you could consider adding three new questions to your "Rush Recommendation" form: (1) Do you smoke? (2) Do you drink alcohol? (3) Do you enjoy or use binge drinking?

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/APRIL 1997

I realize this is a radical idea, but if you want to save the fraternity system, it might require rash action.

If membership in the DU Fraternity had rules and guidelines, perhaps rushees might be attracted to a DU Fraternity that supported long goals in life and a lifestyle that will bling us leadership for our country, government, business, and our family structure and home life.

Our lives are for the future and need to be supported by our education and family. Life needs challenges and goals.

May I have your views and reactions of others?

William F. Baker, Wisconsin '41 Dear William: During rush, ever), chapter should ask several questions of potential members to determine their likelihood of success. Frank discussions of alcohol use could be an important part of the process.

To the Editors: Page 16 of your January issue stated that the Middlebury Chapter "was inactive from 1847 to 1956."

Impossible. My father, B. Clark Johnson, was a Middlebury DU, Class of 1932, and I was a DU pledge in the spring of 1955.

I suspect the Chapter's "early inactive" period may have been nine years, not one hundred nine!

Richard C. Johnson, Middlebury '58 Dear Richard: You're right. Our records indicate the Middlebury Chapter was inactive from 1847 to 1856, a nine year absence.

Times Changing t,,'f Chapter CEO

When I served as president of my chapter nearly a decade ago, the terms "loss prevention" and "risk management" were foreign to me. The concerns about alcohol use and abuse were in their infancy. Fraternities and their leaders were in the early stages of an environment that quickly evolved into the most litigious period in our history. Discussions a decade ago about a lawsuit stemming from an incident at a chapter event were rare and given only passing notice.

My, how times have changed.

It's not an easy task to fulfill the duties asked of a president in today's Delta Upsilon chapter. While the opportunity to serve as the highest leader in an undergraduate chapter is as much an honor today as it was 10, 25, and 50 years ago, the responsibilities and obligations have increased in exponential proportions.

Today, like years past, the chapter president serves as the Chief Executive Officer of his chapter. He serves at the top (or center, for the new-age organization theorists) of the chapter's management structure. He is the liaison between the chapter, the university/college, the greater community, the alumni, and the International Fraternity, its Board of Directors and professional staff.

The chapter president presides over chapter meetings, manages the day-today activities of the chapter officers, and ensures the accountability of ALL chapter members. He works to identify, recruit, and cultivate up-and-coming leaders. And, the chapter president is, in times of celebration and crisis, the spokesman for the chapter.

Today's chapter president, however, differs from yesterday's in many respects. These differences are cultural,

Up until the early part of this decade, fraternities across the continent experienced steady and constant growth in their membership. Pledge classes and initiation classes were large, and it was believed the trend would continue. A strong membership allowed chapters to take advantage of their numbers on the

"Today's chapter president, however, differs from yesterday's in many respects. These differences are cultural, environmental, and economical. The challenges today are more sophisticated and increasingly more complex."

intramural field, budgeting for activities was not an issue, and campuses which at one time had average Greek systems were progressively getting stronger and bigger.

Then, beginning about the 1991-92 academic year, pledge classes were smaller; no less full of outstanding men.

But, for a variety of reasons the fraternity industry entered what is now a five-year decline in the number of men our chapters are recruiting and initiating.

This has led to fiscal challenges, leadership voids, and in some extreme cases the very "evaporation" of chapters.

My, how times have changed.

One element of fraternity membership which is unique to any other type of campus extracurricular opportunity has been the contribution of time and energy by alumni to our undergraduate membership. Again, thinking back a decade ago, there always seemed to be an alumnus, or a few alumni, who served as the mentor, counselor, and confidant for the chapter president, if not for every member in the chapter.

His role was to aid the chapter leaders in their deliberations and serve as a sounding board for ideas. His time was valuable and, indeed, valued.

There are a number of chapter presidents who still benefit from the type of mentor relationship with an alumni volunteer that I recall having.

However, they are fewer and fewer than past years.

My, how times have changed.

Chapter presidents today are an unrivaled group in our fraternity membership. They are called upon to address more pressing and challenging issues than in any time in Delta Upsilon's past. Those with the necessary support mechanisms -personal skills and abilities, assistance from fellow chapter leaders, resources from the International Fraternity and the host institution, and guidance and support from alumni -- will realize success.

My, how times have NOT changed.

Regional Leadership Seminars -- Solid Programming and UGAB Elected Over the course of the spring 1997 term, undergraduate brothers in each of the Fraternity's 12 provinces participate in DU's Regional Leadership Seminars (RLS). These regional conferences bring together undergraduate chapter members and alumni volunteers for the purpose of providing continuing education on particular issues affecting their province and respective campuses. The weekend seminars are held all across North America. The RLS provides valuable leadership training to many chapter officers and members, while also creating a forum to discuss ideas and concepts of mutual interest among chapter members.

Members of the Fraternity's Board of Directors and representatives from the International Headquarters staff have assisted with a number of the regional seminars. The educational programming has focused on vital chapter management areas including loss prevention, organizational management, new member education, and membership recruitment.

During each RLS, an election for the Undergraduate Advisory Board member, representing that province, is held. As of the printing date of this Quarterly, a total oflO new UGAB members have been elected by their peers. The remaining elections will be held later this term.

The Fraternity wishes to express its congratulations to the newly elected UGAB members.

Government Does Good Things ....

But It Must Do Them Better

By John A. Delaney, Florida '77 Mayor, City of Jacksonville, Florida I took the Oath of Office as Mayor of Jacksonville, Florida on July I , I 995, (and unfortunately had to concurrently resign from the DU Board of Directors due to time constraints), only two short months before the Jacksonville Jaguars, the 30th NFL franchise, played its first home game. Jacksonville was a new city - a city that had just entered the big leagues, and one with a bustling economy to boot.

J. Delalley

But American cities (like businesses, families, colleges and fraternities) are facing a changing environment and a fiscal squeeze that is unprecedented.

With declining state and federal dollars, citizen-resistance to new taxes, unfunded and inadequately-funded mandates, greater regulation and more responsibilities assigned locally, cities face new challenges every day.

Flexibility is crucial, and governments on all levels must be ready and willing to adapt.

As in business, fiscal shortfalls can only be addressed three ways: increase prices (i.e. raise taxes), cut costs (eliminate programs and redirect the money), or make operations more efficient ("do more with less"). While the last choice is equally as difficult as the first two, in the public realm, it is the responsible approach. I have always said that government does good things, it just doesn ' t do them well enough.

Rare is the government program that is truly overfunded or illegitimate, but programs must be measured by their efficiency and effectiveness in

H

DEnA UPS ILON QUARTERLI'/A PRIL 1997

accomplishing goals, not by the raw doll3l's given or withheld. And until we build the public's confidence in government's ability to spend tax money properly, truly needed new programs will be opposed.

"Voters don't want more government, but they don't want less government either.

They want better government and less expensive government."

David Osborne

As David Osborne stated in his early book Reinventing Government, "Voters don ' t want more government, but they don't want less government either. They want better government and less expensive government." As populations have increased, government has gotten more money. As babies are born, government gets more money, and as more products are sold at inflationincreased prices, government gets rnore money. It's unusual for there to be incentives for government bureaucrats to save money. And, unlike in the corporate sector, there is no competition to hold government in check. That culture is obsolete, and cities must struggle to replace the debilitating "business as usual" mentality of the past.

40,000 Fans Say It All

Mayor Delaney visiting with Jacksonville Boy Scouts.

Today, city officials must be willing to modernize, take chances, and most importantly, they must think long-term.

Typically, governments have only looked about as far ahead as the upcoming budget year or the next election. As devastating as it would be for a business to be only concerned with its next quarterly report, this failure to plan and prepare for the future has crippled governments at all levels. Companies, however, that invest in "R & D" (research and development) and look for long-term returns, are those that prosper.

"While some cities are struggling to overcome large deficits, Jacksonville seems to be surviving; perhaps because our city has embraced basic principles used in business."

When I took office, Jacksonville as a community was moving ahead, but the need for local government to catch up was evident. Any attempt to challenge a city bureaucracy of more than 7,000 employees is never easy. Progress is often slow in municipal governments, not because of the quality of employees,

but because the system itself can stagnate their creativity. The absence of common sense in public bureaucracies is not unusual , and while some government functions may appear to work fine, they should never be exempt from scrutiny or improvement.

Today, however, while some cities are struggling to overcome huge deficits, Jacksonville seems to be surviving; perhaps because our city has embraced basic principles used in business: minimizing costs, providing quality service and satisfying customers. These are critical components of good business which are long-overdue in government.

As Mayor of the 15th largest city in population in the nation (and the largest in land area in the 48 contiguous states) with a billion dollar plus budget, my ultimate goal is two-fold: to make our city government the best run in the nation, and ensure that Jacksonville is the best place in America to raise a family. The latter is impossible without the former. Government has a responsibility to do both, and other cities constantly provide competition and inspiration to improve whatever we do.

In Jacksonville, we began looking for near-term investments with bigger payoffs for the future . One example is three million dollars spent on a computerized telemetry system to monitor our sewage lift stations. This

Becoming an NFl city has generated energy and optimism throughout Jacksonville. "Before, we were a city hanging on the edge of greatness, but one that was often afraid to take chances and was intimidated by progress," said Brother Delaney.

The birth of the jacksonville Jaguars in many ways has meant the birth of a new city. The city's confidence has skyrocketed, and citizens not only have a reason to take pride in their team, but in their community as well. The football team is the one aspect of Jacksonville in which all citizens are united people from every side of town; every income and profession.

Even the most unsuspecting fans have become infected with football fever and team spirit. When the Jaguars won their our second playoff game last season against the Broncos in Denver, 40,000 fans gathered in Jacksonville Municipal Stadium at two o'clock in the morning to welcome the team home.

That says it all - 40,000 fans gathered in the middle of the night just to say, "Great game!"

The NFL's Jaguars have excited the City of Jacksonville

with percentages of some annual raises reaching double digits. In a system where employees often work for 25 years or more, the cumulative and compounding effect of such increases make some public sector employees better paid than even their big corporate counterparts.

The picturesque Jacksonville city skyline overlooks the St. John's Rive,:

one-time investment will save a million dollars annually forever, but was avoided by the city for years because the three million dollars could always be spent elsewhere on something the public could see. We also found that spending five million per year on a simple system for storm sewer maintenance (never before funded) could save a future generation, 20 to 30 years away, hundreds of millions of dollars in repairs.

These are not sexy items, and they aren't headline grabbers. The headlines come when politicians find flashy ways to spend the three million or five million every year, and that is why politicians rarely look at "R & D" investment.

Another area where many cities can find savings, but also one of the most difficult for officials to approach, is government labor. In our local government, labor costs have grown at double the inflation rate for 20 years,

10

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/APRIL 1997

To get our financial house in order, starting salaries for certain job classes were lowered for the first time in history, and employee salaries frozen for one year. An early retirement incentive package was proposed to maximize the benefits of the salary rollback. This plan alone will save future taxpayers 20 million dollars annually, but the early retirement package requires cash in the short term.

Stronger management and cutting waste in government are crucial to pass along savings to taxpayers and to fund needed "quality of life" programs. Over the past year, Jacksonville has increased funding for children 's programs by 15%, arts funding by 10%, funding to social service agencies by 20%, and we've grown our police force by 200 officers.

Savings made these increases possible, in spite of a reduction in the property tax rate for the second consecutive year.

"Stronger management and cutting waste in government are crucial to pass along savings to taxpayers and to fund needed 'quality of life' programs."

It is clear that responsible fiscal management can go a long way. Last year, Moody 's Investors, the preeminent

bond rating house, raised Jacksonville's bond rating to its best ever. (Only 6% of the counties in the country ranked higher.) This means we can now borrow money at a lower interest rate, allowing us to build more roads, parks or schools for the same monthly mortgage payment.

"As Mayor of the 15th largest city in population in the nation (and the largest in land area) with a billion dollar plus budget, my ultimate goal is two-fold: to make our city government the best run in the nation, and ensure that Jacksonville is the best place in America to raise a family."

Jacksonville is not alone in its struggles and, as cities throughout the nation receive less state and federal assistance and more responsibilities, we all battle to balance annual budgets without sacrificing service. The mayors of Indianapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles have been particularly aggressive in what we call a "holy war" on bureaucracy. None of us have solved it, but when we give up innovating, we will fail, just like the buggy whip makers of our business past.

Mayor Delaney visits with Peter Smith, one of Jacksonville's city employees, after Smith was recognized for his efforts to reduce city expenditures.

A separate program which was held concurrent to the Presidents Academy was the Alumni AdvisorlHouse Corporation Conference. Coordinated

by John Esau, Kansas '78, and Dick Campbell, Nebraska '68, nearly 25 alumni chapter and house corporation officers participated in valuable discussions on student advising techniques, housing operations, and legal and insurance issues.

For both undergraduate and alumni leaders, the curriculum at the Presidents Academy was acknowledged to be as unique as it was essential to the success of each chapter. Material and information on how to lead is not provided or addressed on most campuses in any significant detail.

Perhaps this is why the Academy once again attracted a record number of alumni advisors and well over 90% of the chapter presidents in the Fraternity.

In post-program evaluations, the tremendous value of the 3rd Annual Presidents Academy was ratified among the young men who lead their chapters at the highest level.

~ Morgridge: Teaching Leaders to Lead Brother John P. Morgridge, Wisconsin '55, was the James A. Garfield keynote speaker for the 3rd nnnual Delta Upsilon Presidents Academy.

Brother Morgridge is Chairman of Cisco Systems, the world's leading supplier of enterprise networks. Among other applications, the company produces products that connect groups of computers, allowing different networks to access the same database.

In less than 10 years, Brother Morgridge has guided Cisco Systems to phenomenal growth.

Under his tenure, Cisco's stock has increased by 9,000%, and annual sales for the company have spiraled from $30 million to $5 billion.

Such a record of success made Brother Morgridge uniquely qualified to address our undergraduate presidents.

In his keynote remarks, Brother Morgridge identified the hallmarks of effective leadership, not only from a business perspective, but from his vantage point as a former DU chapter president at Wisconsin.

As the top officer in his chapter he admitted that, "I didn't realize at the time what a great opportunity it was to be president. There were opportunities that I did not take advantage of, that in hindsight could

Another theme which was woven through Brother Morgridge's address, was to seize every opportunity to learn, regardless of your age.

"Man arrives as a novice at each new stage of life," he said.

"All a [college] degree does for you is prepare you to learn the rest of your life."

Beckman Institute Studies Human Intelligence Not every 84-year-old scientist can dream of a pioneering research institute into human intelligence - and have $40 million to help his alma mater build it.

Even rarer is that man who, 13 years later, at the age of 97, can look back on the start-up of his dream, and watch an unique multi-disciplinary research center begin to generate its first practical results.

DUs have such a brother in Dr. Arnold O. Beckman, Illinois '22.

In late 1984, when University of Illinois leaders proposed their plan to Brother Beckman, they knew their concept fit right in with the great philanthropic visions of Brother Beckman and his wife, Mabel. They were investing their sizeable fortune, accumulated over 50 years through Beckman Instruments, the company Brother Beckman founded in 1934, in research centers which would benefit humanity.

Within a few months, the $40 million Beckman gift and $10 million from the State of Illinois began the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Its goal was to merge great researchers from many scientific disciplines into a center studying human intelligence. The building and the organization both would reflect the view that skilled minds, looking at a problem from many different angles and sharing their insights, would be more likely to crack the difficult puzzles than anyone discipline working alone.

'''Two heads are better than one' is an adage honored by this research institute, where multidisciplinary collaboration is an art."

Since its opening in 1989, nearly ',000 scientists and researchers have 'llLTA UPSILON QU,IRTERLl'/APRIL 1997

probed human intelligence, studying memory, communication, neural development, intracellular dynamics, communication between humans and computers, and many dozen other aspects of how the human brain and mind work.

They center on three research themes: biological intelligence, human-computer intelligent interaction, and molecular and electronic nanostructures.

Those themes were defined in 1993 after early research showed a need for focal points.

Brother Beckman, after his last visit to the Institute in September, said he believes the establishment of the three research areas "places no limitation on the activities of the scientists and students. If anything, it preserves the variety of inquiry, but in a more effective environment."

From his home in Corona del Mar, Calif., Brother Beckman has every reason to enjoy what the Institute has produced. From a physical standpoint, it is impressive. On the Urbana campus, after the central library, it is the second largest academic building. The structure is designed to let researchers from fields as diverse as physics, psychology, electrical and computer engineering, and biochemistry work together, attend weekly lunch seminars and chat in the building's strategically placed lounges.

If such a meeting isn't all that's needed to ponder an aspect of their research, then you might drop by the

CAVE - a virtual reality viewing chamber, about 10 feet high, wide, and deep, where images of molecular structures or neural nets may be displayed in three dimensions, then manipulated by voice and gestures.

Such research tools are supported by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, an independent agency which shares space in the Institute and allows the other three units to rapidly analyze data.

Three achievements illustrate the power of a multidisciplinary team at

The initials "URI" (for University Research Initiative) were inscribed by hot electrons from the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope, which knocked individual hydrogen atoms off a passivated silicon substrate (above). The copper coils (left), both smaller than the date on a U.S. penny, are each a solenoid for a miniature nuclear magnetic resonance machine being used to study the resonance of molecules in nanoliter volumes.

work simultaneously on many aspects of their subject. One which may come to general public use first is a "smart" hearing aid, which, for example, can cut through many voices in a crowded room to hone in on one conversation, just as humans do. While an amplifier merely makes all sounds louder, the aid being developed at the Beckman Institute allows the wearer to aim to within five degrees of the source of a sound and let that sound be amplified while others are not. Thus, turning the head will control which sounds are heard.

At the molecular level, Beckman Institute researchers had the need to use magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) technology to focus in on the activities within a single cell, as they studied exactly how neurons in the brain form

links which become memory. By using extremely small glass pipettes, and winding a wire coil far smaller than the numerals showing the date on a penny, they have developed a device that can peer into a single living cell. Since this microscopic measuring device will have many applications in fields other than cellular biology, a technology transfer company has been formed to license use to manufacturers.

Another breakthrough may lengthen the lives of computer chips 10- to 50fold . One step in chip manufacture requires bathing certain surfaces in hydrogen gas. One Beckman Institute researcher was studying the effect of using deuterium (hydrogen with an extra neutron per atom) to harden certain crystalline structures. When he talked with his counterpart familiar with chip manufacturing, he asked whether the deuterium technique was being used there. The chip expert was dumbfounded, since he instantly realized a deuterium-hardened surface would allow the chip to last much longer, and perhaps be smaller with

"For undergraduates today, the most important thing Delta Upsilon should provide is the ability to get along with a wide variety of people and personalities," said Brother Beckman.

faster processing times .

Tests show promise of longer lasting, more durable computer chips of many types .

Since his initial gift to found the Institute, Brother Beckman has continued his support of the Beckman Institute through annual gifts via his Beckman Foundation . This support shows that the research center is proceeding as he had hoped. ''I'd like it to be equated with absolute integrity, and to be known for the collaboration between members, and the opportunity to get together and discuss their work and the problems of the world."

Conducting yourself with integrity is Brother Beckman 's first personal rule, he said last month, just 30 days shy of his 97th birthday. "Rule number two is to try to avoid imposing unnecessary hardship on others. Rule number seven is don ' t take yourself too seriously.

Rules three through six keep changing as I change," he said.

In the operating rules Brother Beckman helped draft for the Institute, there appears a clause which runs contrary to the lifetime tenure rules in almost every college and university in North America . Rather than guaranteeing that an Institute member may stay indefinitely, each research area comes up for review every four years.

Some portions are kept and others discontinued, meaning a turnover in Institute members . The first review occurred late last year and was a source of some constern ation among the Institute 's researchers. But as the university has been able to attract worldclass faculty in part because of the Institute's presence, it would be hard to bring in fresh minds if there were no room for them in the Institute. The quadrenni al review process will no doubt be watched by other universities to see if it works well with similar cross-disciplinary centers being established elsewhere.

As for Delta Upsilon , our Fraternity brings a warm response from Brother

Beckman. He has long supported his Illinois Chapter, and in 1988 received DU 's highest honor, the Delta Upsilon Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. Among a number of certificates for awards and honors in his home office, right by his computer, is his Delta U membership certificate, dated 1919.

"For undergraduates today, the most important thing Delta Upsilon should provide is the ability to get along with a wide variety of people and personalities," said Brother Beckman.

This man who invented the pH meter, the spectrophotometer and many other basic scientific research devices, recalled a pledge at his chapter "who appeared to have a very high opinion of himself.

"To bring him back to earth," one morning the pledge and Brother Beckman dined with Brother Seely 10hnston, Illinois '24, whose home was in Champaign. "Seely's mother played a little joke. She cut a circle out of flannel and submerged it inside one of the pancakes, which was served to our pledge guest. We all had a good laugh watching him try to work with it. He got turned around pretty quick after that and we eventually initiated him."

Through the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, Brother Beckman has helped establish several other major research centers around the country, but the Beckman Institute may be the most significant. Its multi-disciplinary approach may be the only way to create the synergy and serendipity needed to tackle immense subjects such as human intelligence. Perhaps it will model the way for other centers of science and research, and with good fortune, Brother Beckman will long hear its praises sung.

The majestic former home of the Oklahoma Chapter is preserved in this renditioll by artist Greg Bums.

DU Tradition Preserved by Oklahoma Chapter "Although the house is gone, its memories have been preserved."

The Oklahoma Chapter of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity is one of the oldest fraternity traditions on the University of Oklahoma campus. The chapter house has been located at the corner of Brooks and College for nearly 70 years. The address of 603 W. Brooks has been "home" for over 1,500 young men who have been members of the Oklahoma Chapter of DU since 1927.

As a result of the success of the Oklahoma Chapter, it has grown in both size and stature on the University of Oklahoma campus. In the early 1990s it became clear that a newer and larger chapter house was essential to the continued success of the Oklahoma Chapter. In the fall of 1992, the house corporation obtained a newer, more upto-date and larger facility through the purchase of the recently vacated Kappa Delta chapter house located at 505 Emerald Way. Since that time the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Delta Upsilon Corporation have maintained the old chapter house, seeking a buyer who could utilize thi s property as a fraternity house or university facility.

Unfortunately, the Board was ultimately 18

DU Educational Foundation News A Foundation Like No Other My work for the DU Educational Foundation over the past six years has been tremendously rewarding.

My travels take me from coast to coast to promote relations with our 60,000 alumni and raise funds for our annual educational grants to benefit undergraduate brothers.

During my tenure, I've entertained questions that run the gamut of interest and concem for our Fratemity. In this issue of the Quarterly, I thought I'd share some of the common and not-socommon inquiries that I've heard, with the hope that you will continue to write, call, or e-mail me with more.

Fratemally,

Rick Holland, Syraclise '83 Executive Director

Q. "What is the Foundation's endowment?"

A. Approximately $1.5 million, with total assets of nearly $2 million.

Q. "Do you work full-time for the DU Foundation?"

A. Yes.

Q. "How many people does the Foundation employ?"

A. One full-time Executive Director, and three part-time staff members, one of whom is our accountant.

Q. "Are YOll the Fraternity's Executive Director as well?"

A. No, the Fraternity is fortunate to have the services of Abe Cross as Executive Director. Abe reports to the Fratemity's Board of Directors; I report to the Foundation's Board of Trustees.

Abe has a column in this issue of the magazine on page 5.

Q. "What does the Foundation do and why?"

A. The DU Educational Foundation provides annual grants for programs and services that teach young leaders how to lead. We entertain a comprehensive grant request from the Fraternity each year, and then we raise tax-deductible gifts from alumni to meet the grant amount.

The primary examples of programs we help underwrite are the summer Leadership Institute (for more information, see pages 16-17 of this issue) and the winter Presidents Academy (coverage of which can be found on pages 12-13). The most visible services are the on-campus visits made to each chapter and colony each year by the Fraternity's Leadership Consultants.

The DU Foundation is commited to these activities because we believe leadership can be learned, even though it is not taught in college classrooms throughout North America. Through the Fraternity's staff visits and annual programs, young men can learn leadership techniques, then return to campus to test them in the greatest laboratory for leadership development that has ever been invented: the fraternity chapter.

Q. "How does my chapter benefit from the gift I make to the Foundation?"

A. First, your chapter will receive at least one visit each academic year from a member of the Fraternity's professional staff. In the course of three days, staff members meet with officers of the chapter, alumni advisors, and university administrators. If possible, they also try to address a general meeting of the chapter.

The purpose of the visit is to hear about problems and challenges facing your chapter, and at the end of the visit, provide a written report with suggestions for ways to improve.

Each summer, your chapter sends delegates to the DU Leadership Institute, where courses are offered on everything from building effective teams to personal time management. In the winter, your chapter's president attends the Presidents Academy, where he learns how to be an effective CEO for his brotherhood.

Q. "What's DU's most exciting new educational program?"

A. Well, it's still in development, but it is an effort to augment the pledge education process to include the involvement of mentors throughout a student's undergraduate career.

Q. "How much is the Educational Foundation trying to raise this year?"

A. Our goal is to raise $360,000, which will not include gifts we have received through bequests from wills.

Q. "When are you going to get a 'real' job?"

A. Make me an offer. (Just kidding.) I agree that working for and supporting a fraternity foundation is unconventional. From my perspective, however, I cannot think of a more important purpose than helping create ethical and effective leaders, responsible community servants, and dedicated spouses and fathers for the days and years ahead. That's what I see DU providing in a more comprehensive way for young students than any other organization. The education of character is our business, and I think it's a worthy calling.

The End Is Near!!!!!

Culver-StocktOIl DUs camped out in cardboard boxes last fall to raise money and food for the homeless.

Culver-Stockton Raises Money for Homeless

DePauw Brothers Receive Reader's Digest Awards

For one night, 45 DUs from the Culver-Stockton Chapter and their guests made do with a series of cardboard boxes, leaving them with a taste of what it's like to be homeless.

The Saturday night event in October, in Quincy, Ill. , was pmt charitable project and part social, but after spending the night in refrigerator boxes, DU members have a better idea what it's like to be destitute. Being without shelter was only one of the challenging things Culver-Stockton DUs learned -- simply passing the time was also difficult. Dealing with the strange looks from people was an unanticipated aspect of the project.

However, the brothers had the advantage of money and being able to go get breakfast.

The brothers realize the rally doesn't replicate homeless ness, but the point was to raise money and awareness.

The attention we drew, we hope, will help others understand the plight of the homeless. Forging closer bonds among the membership was another result of the night-long project.

Jason M. Anders '97 and Brian J. Fisher '97 of the DePauw Chapter are recipients of DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Print Journalism Awards.

Brother Anders, a senior from Fort Wayne, Ind., after completing internships at The Detroit News and The News-Sentinel (FOIt Wayne), returned to campus to be editor-in-chief of The DePauw fall semester.

Previously he held the positions of managing editor, chief copy editor, and news editor at the independent student paper published twice a week.

Brother Fisher, a Media Fellow from Dayton, Ohio, has worked at The DePauw as SPOItS editor, opinion editor and production manager. This year he is the paper's design editor.

Brother Fisher, a communication and European history major, has had internships at the Philadelphia Law Journal and the Dayton Daily News.

Brother Fisher has won three first place awards from the Indiana Collegiate Press Association: best SPOIts feature, best sports photo and best photo-essay, all in 1995.

Fresno to Host Alumni Golf Tournament December 23, 1996 marked the new era for the Fresno Chapter, as it moved into a new chapter house near campus.

This added new pride and motivation, spilling over to rush as we pledged five quality men and already have six prospects for the following semester.

This is the second largest pledge class we have recruited since our reorganization in ' 91.

May 3, 1997 will mark the 29th Annual Alumni Golf Tournament. We will also celebrate our Installation Day of May 4, 1965. Alunmi may reach the chapter at 4313 E. Sierra Madre, Fresno, Calif. 93716; 209.226.0161. Our e-mail address is Caguy93714@aol.com.

Chapter Spotlights Iowa State Works with Boys & Girls Club

Louisville Receives Educational Grant

Iowa State Chapter members are focusing on the areas of academics, recruitment and campus involvement. A fall semester GPA of 2.17 ranked us ll/30. Our goal is 2.S in the spring. To achieve this we have a detailed scholarship plan that outlines mentors, study tables, initiation requirements, and assistance from our faculty advisor.

We have 45 members living in the chapter house. Our goal is to increase this number to the house capacity of 65 .

During the spring semester we will visit high school seniors and explain our vision and goals for the chapter. We are also sponsoring two $500 scholarships.

While some members are involved in campus organizations, we hope to appeal to individual interests and inform the members of groups on campus that share these interests.

We continue our involvement with the Boys & Girls Club, with a March racquetball event and a parade in April.

Dave Smaffillg '98

The Louisville Chapter is the strongest it has been in the last six years. With the initiation of 10 new members from the fall and four new spring pledges, our chapter is young and energetic. We are very competitive in Greek competitions, intramurals, philanthropies, and have a vastly improved social calendar.

Our members are excited about an educational grant from an alumnus through the DU Educational Foundation which will provide a new scholarship room containing computers and other educational materials. We sincerely appreciate the generosity of the DUEF and our alumni for the educational grant. Without their strong support, our efforts to enhance our chapter's academic resources would not have been possible.

We hope to have the refurnishing and remodeling of our chapter house completed by fall.

North Dakota State Preparing for Teeter-A-Thon The brothers of the North Dakota State Chapter are proud that Dr. Will S. Keim, Pacific '75, spoke on our campus in mid-March. He gave several presentations, including one on Greek life. We wish to thank Brother Keim for the time he spent with us and with our university.

On April 2nd the chapter sponsored a Greek-wide educational program with the women of Kappa Alpha Theta. The program, presented by Dr. Patty Corwin, looked at dating in the 90s and gender relations. Participants were challenged to consider communication and behavior between men and women.

We are gearing up for our 22nd annual teeter-a-thon. This year we will be teetering for 121 hours straight to hopefully raise over $4,000 for the Big Brother program.

Congratulations to our four new pledges, Doug Boe, Jeremy Dworshak, Scott Hm路vey, and Nathan Palm. We know they will make outstanding contributions to the chapter and the Fratell1ity. Congratulations, also, to our newest member, Aaron B. Schmitz '98, who was initiated January 26.

The Ohio State Chapter has restructured its executive council, so that members will hold office until January 1998.

In conjunction with a sound financial relationship with our alumni, the chapter is looking to improve our chapter house physically and strengthen the operational management.

We are concentrating our efforts on an exciting year of recruitment and a renewed enthusiasm for the unique brotherhood that Delta U has offered to over 1,400 members from OSU. We look forward to growing together as a young, energetic chapter and look to our brothers across the US and Canada for guidance, support, and friendly competition.

Penn State Raises $40,000 for Kids with Cancer The 25th annual Penn State Dance Marathon was a tremendous success this year with DU and partner Alpha Phi raising over $40,000. Overall the marathon raised an all-time high of $1.5 million and remains the largest studentrun philanthropy in the nation. The marathon is a 48-hour event benefiting kids with cancer at the Hershey Medical Center. The brothers who participated were exhausted at the end, but pleased with their work.

Other highlights have been the initiation of 16 men from the fall, raising over $500 for Habitat for Humanity in the first DU car wash, and ranking in the top lOin intramural competition and GPA out of 60 fraternities.

Thfts Brothers Lead University Athletic Teams Many of the Tufts Chapter brothers are active on the football, baseball, hockey, track, and lacrosse teams. We also boast the captains of three major sports teams.

The men's ice hockey team was led

Missouri Brother Revives Chapter's Journalist Tradition Founded as a journalism club, the Missouri Chapter once again boasts the editor and staff of a major campus publication. The MU Student News, founded by Jacob Quick, Missouri '98, aims to educate students on current events and topics of interest.

The Dana Press Club was founded in 1909 by a group of eight journalism students. New members were recurited and in 1921, the aspiring Press Club journalists inquired about becoming a chapter of Delta Upsilon. In the winter of 1924, the Dana Press Club became the Missouri Chapter of DU. The Missouri Student was a weekly newspaper on the University of Missouri campus for the first half

"The MU Student News presents news as it truly is and aims to educate the students on current events." of the century. For six continuous years, men of DU held the reins on the student voice.

The Fraternity played a large role in choosing each succeeding editor. To ensure the continued success of any organization, successors must be men of character. What better place to find these men than DU. After the first DU was editor, it was only logical to choose the next editor from the chapter brotherhood.

Many DUs aided in the production of the newspaper.

Because it was produced on Sundays, labor had to be paid overtime. To cut down the cost of 28

production, the brothers of DU pitched in to produce the paper.

The paper was successful in its existence until the introduction of a non-DU editor. In February of 1955, the Missouri Student transformed into what is now known as the Maneater. The paper, with its new name, also took on a new outlook.

The first issue bragged of the end of the DU dynasty and dubbed itself as a "feared publication of the university." The headline read: "DU 'Student' Dynasty Falls."

The feared publication of the university grew as the years passed.

Now it presents a strong anti-Greek, anti-establishment view. This biased outlook prompted the arrival of a new student newspaper, and the return of DU to campus publications.

"The MU Student News was founded as an alternative to the biased nature of the Maneater. The newspaper presents news as it truly is and aims to educate the students on current events as well as topics

like investment opportunities," said Quick.

It is a weekly publication that is produced almost entire by Missouri DUs. It boasts several interesting features aside from the news. The business and entertainment sections of the paper are the most popular and present realistic opportunities for students.

The entire membership of the Missouri Chapter is willing to help in the endeavor. DUs found many sleepless nights as they built the bins that were to be distributed all across the campus. Those massive bins required the use of delivery trucks, and once again the chapter came through.

Naturally, a newspaper requires solid reporting. Writers are found throughout the chapter. Journalism majors and non-journalism majors alike come together to produce the MU Student News. Photographers, designers, and production assistants are also DU brothers.

The time commitment that these men have sacrificed is impressive.

The reason for this sacrifice is simple -- our desire to produce a quality publication. Without the help of brothers, the MU Student News would have never become a reality.
