Regional Conferences (Continued from page 2)
cians as they met at Ames over the Labor Day week-end to argue the pros and cons of rushing, pledge training, publishing, and financing. With representatives of most of the twenty-two central chapters present, the meetings had to be held in the beautiful student union building and the delegates housed in several fraternity houses. Dean Roush and his crew had the program well organized and the chapter house scrubbed down in anticipation of the flood. The conference sessions produced plenty of ideas and a lot of discussion from the floor. On Saturday evening the boys relaxed at a barbeque held at a nearby picnic grove and then dressed up for a banquet held at the union building the following evening. At the latter function, presided over by Gordon Johnson of the Des Moines alumni association, the guests were welcomed by Frank Mendell, chapter adviser of the Iowa State Chapter. Main speaker was Brother Jack Shelley of station WHO in D es Moines who told of some of his war-time adventures and then gave the men some of his ideas of what the fraternity system and Acacia can do and mean to the man, the college, and the nation.
Eastern Conference Under the direction of traveling secretaries Croyle and Dahl and with Jack Baker as chairman, e 1even chapters were in attendance at the Eastern Conference in Durham. A model initiation ceremony opened the meeting on September 7 and this was followed by a discussion of the war emergency, campus activities, interchapter relations, and scholarship. All day Saturday and most of Sunday were needed to wade through the ideas and problems that were covered by the delegates who showed plenty of endurance. The relaxation came Saturday evening when the brothers adjourned for a picnic on
Green Bay and an impromptu football game between New Hampshire and Cincinnati delegates. Speakers at the wind-up banquet were Brothers Lauren Seeley, who is dean of New Hampshire's College of Technology, S. 0 . Walker, mayor of Concord and toastmaster, Nationa:l. Counselor Martin Delbrouck, and Executive Secretary Roy Clark. The delegates gave a rising vote of appreciation to George Croyle who has been assisting the eastern chapters for two years, and welcomed Walter Dahl as the new representative of the national office to these chapters.
Western Conference While the easterners were meeting in Durham, the seven chapters along the Pacific coast sent a total of sixtythree representatives to the UCLA chapter house for discussion and debate on the best ways to operate a chapter efficiently. Assisting were the men from the Southern California Chapter who entertained at a smoker on Friday evening and help round up dates for a moonlight picnic at George Wheeler's home on Malibu Beach. The climax of the week-end was a Sunday night banquet at the Hollywood Knickerbocker Hotel. With Bill Stone presiding, the three main speakers were C. Stanley Chapman, Yale, UCLA's chapter adviser Frank Reinsch, and National Vice President Chris Gabriel. Special mention should be made of the fine talk given by Chuck Jardine of the Washington Chapter who led the discussion on a wartime emergency program; a lot of credit goes also to Bill Lynn of the host chapter and to Ed Kelly, national traveling secretary, who came out of his marine uniform to help with the meeting.
Lt. Carey Cowart Dies in Korea The very first pledge of the Southern California Chapter was a victim of the Korean war. Lt. Carey Cowart, USMC, died there this past spring. He is survived by his wife and a young son. It is planned that the next issue of the Triad will include a further tribute to Brother Cowart, who is believed to be the first Acacian to die in Korea. Charles V . Tyler, Illinois, died on November 25, 1950, at the age of sixty-five. The funeral was held at Plano, Illinois. No other details are available.
