The Job Has Just Begun The hub-bub of formal rush week is over, and chapter rush results already received in the central office indicate that this will be the biggest year in Acacia's history as to the number of men pledged.

Contrary to common opinion, however, the job is not over-in fact, the real work is just beginning. A pledge, as such, is of little value to an active chapter. His real value will be realized when the active chapter has properly educated this man to be a good fraternity brother, when he has made his grades, and when he has become initiated. Then, and only then will he be a real asset to Acacia.

To practically all of the pledges, life in a fraternity is an entirely new and different experience. Because of their interest and eagerness to do well in their new type of living, their minds are now most receptive to learning the "whys and wherefores" of a good fraternity life. The chapter has a duty to give these men the type of training which they seek, and see to it that a good pledge training program is conducted. This entire program should be well planned, and should be drawn to attain' one goaltraining each pledge to become a valuable man in the active chapter.

The most vital part of this program should be encouragement, assistance and whatever else is necessary to aid the pledge in attaining good scholarship. This is the primary reason that a man is in schooL If he fails scholastically, he has gained nothing. If he fails scholastically, the fraternity has gained nothing. And in recent years, the percentage of pledges who fail to make their grades has been increasing at an alarming rate. It is the fraternity's duty to reverse this trend-both for the good of the individual, and for the good of Acacia.

Yes, formal rush week is finished and the training of our new pledges is tops on the chapter agenda. But still an item not to be overlooked is informal rushing. Every chapter should continue an informal rush program throughout the entire school year. There is in every college and university a great number of good men who remain unpledged after formal rush week. Among this group are many, as numerous chapters have discovered in the past, who want to be in a fraternity and who will make good fraternity men. Let us not allow this field to go untapped. The advantages to be gained from a good informal rush are many, but are too often overlooked by many fraternities. Our fraternity should be one that capitalizes from this rich field.

Eastern Regional Conference delegates in front of the Penn State Chapter House.

Chapter Officers Schooled at Three Regional Conferences EASTERN CONFERENCE State College, Pennsylvania The official opening of the Eastern Regional Conference at State College, Pa., took place Wednesday, August 26, at 8: 00 P . M. with a smoker and reception. It was attended by the delegates of twenty chapters, thirteen members of the local Penn State Chapter, and several distinguished leaders of the conference and guests, among whom were: William Dye, Jr., past National President for seven years; Roy Clark, National Executive Secretary; Walter Dahl, Traveling Secretary; William Dye III, a prominent figure at past national conclaves; William Knapp, past National Tr easurer; and George Patterson, Assistant Attorney General for the State of Ohio.

The regular or der of business of the convention was opened Thursday morning b y a few intr oductory remarks by William Dye III. Following this was a main panel session on finances . Dr . Kinnison fr om Ohio U. spoke on corporate management and bond issues, with special emphasis on house financing . He was followed by George Patter son who discussed the collection of h ouse bills, chapter ~es, and the financial aspects of kitchen 2

management. Stan Campbell, Penn State's financial adviser, spoke on the duties and functions of the financial adviser, proposing that the chapter be responsible for itself and that the adviser remain in that capacity in order to augment chapter awareness of its financial position at all times. A question and answer period led by panel moderator William Knapp concluded this part of the program. Next was a short interchapter relations panel which advocated inter-chapter athletic contests, social functions, conventions, and pledge trips, and described "AllOhio Day," "Indiana Day," "The Junior Olympics," and other such functions as having been very successful.

Thursday afternoon the fir st topic was pledge training. The panel speakers, led by moderator Perkins, Assistant Dean of Men at Penn State, and several participants from the convention floor rehashed several of the old stock issues and suggested some new perspectives to be taken with regard to pledging. It was emphasized that the entire chapter should participate in the chapter pledging program in an effort to break up house factions and an aristocratic active membership within the house. It was further pointed out that

pledge training should enhance and not deter scholarship. It was decided, too, that extra-curricular activities should be pushed to the extent that the student's abilities and capacities warranted, and that, after all, being a good scholar and a good fraternity man is quite a task in itself. As Indiana's delegate put it, "The essence of a pledge training program is to teach a group of young men to live and work together successfully in christian fellowship and then have them project these habits into all walks of life. The instrumentation, therefore, is the means and not the end, and should be formulated with this principle in mind." A short discussion on "Publicity and Public Relations" rounded out the agenda for the afternoon.

In the evening, the Penn State Chapter performed a complete mock initiation which was objectively criticized by the delegates. Several ideas for improvement were accepted by the convention members while a few faulty procedures were exposed and rejected.

Friday morning's session was entirely devoted to rushing. The panel speakers were Dick Bar nagoni, New Hampshire U .; Bob White, U. of Illinois; Joe Schrayer, Indiana U.; and Walter Dahl. Each of the three

THE TRIAD

delegates outlined his chapter's rushing system. Then Walter Dahl, after recapitulating and supplementing these remarks, opened the discussion to the floor. Roy Clark pointed out that anyone who is an adherent of any organization which seeks to restrain its membership from masonic activities is not eligible for membership in Acacia. He especially cautioned strict attention to eligibility in pledging. Summer rushing programs were proposed in which names and personal contacts with leading high school boys could be established by zoning off areas around chapter residents' homes and making each boy responsible for that area.

Friday afternoon a panel was conducted by Penn State's Dean of Men, Frank Simes, on scholarship. Mr. Simes cited several case histories as conclusive evidence that most scholastic difficulties arose from a few fundamental causes: the individual's dissatisfaction with his curriculum and the resulting loss of sight of his objectives; improper budgeting of time ; and unsatisfactory pre-college schooling in the fundamentals of his course of study and how to attack his academic problems efficiently. He urged that the chapters give individual consideration to those having trouble by utilizing college services such as aptitude tests, psychology clinics, and agencies and instructors offering special academic assistance.

The rest of the day was devoted to a short visit to Fisherman's Paradise, a nearby fish hatchery and stockpen, and a picnic at Penn ' s Cave, America's only completely underground, all-water limestone cavern.

The cave is about a quarter-mile long,

about fifty feet below the surface of the earth, and lighted with floodlights to reveal the colorful splendor of the giant underground rooms in their entirety. Badminton, softball, horseshoes, volley ball, and a delicious meal supplemented the cavern tour to provide a joyous time for all.

Chapter administration was the first to be considered Saturday morning. John Green from the U. of Cincinnati and Roy Clark, the panel speakers, brought out that executive council meetings should precede all active and house meetings as a measure to alleviate long-winded ordeals and to instill an inherent orderliness into the meetings, but that too tight a system must be guarded against to prevent railroading and dissention.

A panel of four picked up the next topic on the agenda, "Social and Etiquette," by listing the usual actions and precautions that should b e continually subscribed to in the chapter houses. This was followed by an open presentation of ideas for parties and social functions and the modes of handling each. Martin Delbrouck, National Counselor and chapter advisor at New Hampshire, terminated the morning session with an inspiring resume of how extraordinary faculty and alumni relations and strict observance of Acacia's principles enabled the New Hampshire chapter to rise from a homeless group of eager young men to the most popular fraternity on campus in four years.

Then William Dye Jr. , in what was one of the most forceful and moving speeches during the convention, gave a brief history of Acacia Fraternity and then brought the convention to a climax by dramatically re-challeng-

ing us to cling to our ideals, come what may. Everyone rose to their feet with a moving ovation when he finished and left the r oom. William Dye, Jr.'s History of Acacia Fraternity, which he is now engaged in writing, and which will be the only document of its kind, is scheduled to b e published early next summer.

The official business of the convention was brought to a close with activities, closing comments, and the good of the fraternity . The final occasion was an elaborate banquet fea turing a delicious meal, and a both stimulating and entertaining after dinner address.

MIDWEST CONFERENCE Stillwater, Oklahoma Wednesday evening, August 26, marked the official opening of the Midwest Regional Conference for the fifteen attending chapters. A r eception for delegates, alumni, and guests was held in the main lounge of the student union, at which better than eighty persons were in attendance.

Training sessions began on Thursday morning following an address of welcome by Charles Durrett, Venerable Dean of the Oklahoma A & M Chapter. The opening panel on Alumni Relations was led by the Kansas State Chapter delegation, and Jim Swain, Oklahoma Venerable Dean, followed with a discussion on chapter singing. Brother Swain emphasized that good singing is a combination of many items, and does not depend on good voices alone. Rehearsal, imagination, direction, music, attitude, technique, and the significance given to singing all work together toward

making the chapter glee club a good one.

Following luncheon, Muryl Laman and the Kansas delegation led the panel on the social program. Various ideas for types of parties, planning, etc., were covered in addition to the budgeting and administration that is vital to a good program. The initial day's session was concluded with a discussion on chapter intramurals, led

by Oklahoma A & M's Charles Durrett.

A chapter scholarship panel, directed by Colorado's Don Jones opened the Thursday morning session in which he outlined the basic points necessary in attaining good scholarship. Following Jones' talk, a lively discussion and interchange of ideas followed, with all delegates participating.

Two panels covered the afternoon session. Wayne Smith, Colorado A & M

Venerable Dean, led the discussion of chapter finances, and Bob Livin, Iowa State, handled the program on initiation procedures. Smith discussed all phases of good financial policy including budgets, accounts, debt collection, management, and the part played by a good financial adviser.

Brother Livin covered each phase of the ritual individually, with discussion from the floor supplementing his comments.

Friday evening all delegates and local area alumni enjoyed a picnic and bar-b-que at Blackwell Lake.

Following the bar-b-que dinner, yarns were spun and group singing ensued.

Saturday morning was devoted to pledge training, and the panel leader was Jim Warkonski, Venerable Dean of the Arizona Chapter. Warkomski stressed the value of setting an objective to be attained by pledge training,

and said that once the objective is decided upon, the entire program of pledge education should be directed with this one goal in mind.

The all important item of rushing was covered Saturday afternoon, and led by a very capable Jack Q. Tidwell, Texas Venerable Dean. Every phase of this operation extending from the very first contact up to and through the final pledging was covered. Contacts, summer rush, conduct, and technique were all included in the panel discussions.

Edgar R. Kelly, National Editor and Alumni Secretary closed the official school session with a summary of the entire conference late Saturday afternoon. Ed was most helpful throughout all of the sessions, and assisted the various panel leaders and supplemented many of the ideas discussed by the delegates.

On Saturday evening the official banquet was held in the main dining parlors of the student union. Guest Speaker was Mr. Paul Brown, Oklahoma '25. Brother Brown, prominent Oklahoma City attorney, and Past Chairman of the National Jurisprudence Committee, gave a most forceful and inspiring address. In closing, he recited a little poem about Acacia which he had written. The poem is printed below.

MEMORIES OF ACACIA Acacia, to me, is where I meet my brother, And where I'm proud to bring my siste1路, my mother.

And where I can renew my friendships of old, More precious by far, than riches o1路 gold.

My fondest reflections of times now past, Are memories of Acacia, memories steadfast.

I remember the good times we all had together, Of the warmth in my heart on meeting a brothe1路.

Our troubles and pleasures were mutually shared, And standing together, the whoie world we dared.

So Acacia is not just another fraternity, It will last forever, as long as Ete1路nity.

THE TRIAD

it's still the same today Printed below is the opening address given to the delegates of the Eastern Regional Conference. It was delivered by William!. S. Dye III, the Chapter Adviser of the Penn State Chapter,. and son of William S. Dye, Jr., Past National President of Acacia. The address is, in the opinion of the Editor, extremely worthwhile reading for all fraternity men. " ., Brethren and Guests: As Chapter Adviser of the Penn State Chapter of Acacia, it is an honor and a privilege to welcome you to the Eastern Regional Conference of our Fraternity.

The boys of the active chapter, have with the guidance of Walt Dahl, tried to plan a well-rounded program which we hope you will find both educational, recreational, and enjoyable.

Fraternities in general are as usual under criticism all over the country for one thing or another, and since this is the case, I believe that behind our discussions and thoughts we should try and re-evaluate and restate our position and discover or re-discover just what we want from our Fraternity. For out of these conferences should come some constructive thought that will enable our National Officers to do their jobs a bit more efficiently.

In a fraternity magazine there appeared the following article which I believe might well be the tenor of and the basis for our thinking in these meetings: " .. . A college fraternity owes its existence to a desire animating a group of congenial fellows, who have certain definite opinions and convictions, to associate themselves by closer ties so that the aims they have in mind may be consummated and inculcated more firmly in the minds and hearts of its membership . ...

"Since no organization can endure without adherence to the principles of the organization those chapters that fail to fulfill the purpose of the fraternity are dropped from time to time just as members are suspended or expelled for failure to comply with the principles of the organization whether local or national.

"These are fundamental principles of all fraternity organizations."

There has been a great deal of discussion from many quarters regarding the worth of College Fraternities.

"A large part of the trouble lies in the present competition among fraternity chapters in colleges. There are certain kinds of fraternity competition that are desirable. The competition I refer to, however, as a rule is not a healthful competition. It is not a competition that seeks to make of its men better collegians, better scholars, better men. It is rather a competition that has to do with such matter of tinsel, show, and glitter, that in recent years have been one of the features of colleges most worth condemnation. It has to do too often with the non-essentials in college life rather than with essentials. " . .. the essential reason why a man goes to college, or at least why he should go to college, is that he may be better prepared to meet the issues of life. . . . A college is not ... a four-year vacation ; it should be a testing and attaining period .. .. A college is not, or should not be, a degree factory where any man or woman who has served four years apprenticeship, passed with mere passing grades the required number of subjects, shall be turned out, as from a sausage machine, with a ribbon-tied diploma and a bachelor's degree. It is not a place, or should not be a place, that gives diplomas for football or track accomplishments any more than it should not be a place where four years of cheering at athletic contests or hopping around a wax floor to . . . music brings a bachelor's degree.

"It is because of a failure to recognize these facts that many of the troubles in our fraternities have resulted ... . Fraternities have stressed externals rather than essentials.

(Some persons) consider that chapter, a good chapter which controls the political. phases of college life or which includes in its membership the greatest number of unde rgraduate officers or star athletes or which h as the most finely appointed house on the campus; which conducts the greatest number and most lavish social functions, which has as members the greatest number of automobile owners. In short they argue that a fraternity chapter is best that can boast of the greatest amount of embroidery, display, and gloss. It is like covering leprosy with silk and ribbons."

This, gentlemen, would seem as though it had been written a fortnight ago-these things are the topics which you are going to discuss and rediscuss as long as you are active in the fraternity. So evaluate or re-evaluate these excerpts from the report of the Grand President of Acacia prepared after the 1923 Conclave 30 years ago, or before most of you in this room were born.

I wish you could all get to know this author as well as I know him, he is a loyal and progressive Acacian, a true scholar, and the man I am very proud to call "Dad."

HOMECOMING 6

THE TRIAD

UTUMN is the time when colleges across the nation spread the welcome mats on campus and bring back their thousands of alums with a special feature called "homecoming"-an idea that has become an American institution. And although hundreds of thousands of people yearly attend their homecoming celebrations, and millions more read about the big homecoming games, very few actually know the history behind this great collegiate event.

The college homecoming had its beginning at the University of Illinois on October 14, 1910, and the event was made even more memorable for loyal Illini by the fact that a drop kick defeated Chicago 3-0. Wisconsin and Indiana were the next two colleges to begin homecoming celebrations for their alumni, and since that time the idea has multiplied until almost every campus across the land today holds such an affair.

Back in 1909 the late W. Elmer Ekblaw, then editor of the Daily Illini, and C. F. "Dab" Williams first came forth with the idea of homecoming.

The two men had just been initiated into Shield and Trident, an activity honorary. To put it in the words of " Dab" Williams, "A noble organization, but absolutely without soul when it comes to handling neophytes."

Soon after initiation, Ekblaw and Williams decided it was high time Shield and Trident found something to do besides whale the stuffings out of a flock of promising juniors. After several special meetings at which no big ideas came forth, the homecoming idea suddenly came to the two men one evening as they were returning home from the office of the Daily Illini.

They sat down on the steps of the old YMCA building and formulated the purpose and the plan to lay before

A

student body, they still gave wholehearted approval to the idea.

The petition presented to the university prayed that the homecoming might be held with the express purpose in mind of entertaining the alumni while the university was in regular session, so that the student body could become acquainted with the character of men and women who made up the great alumni group, and the alumni in turn could become acquainted with the students and the faculty who were then carrying on the activities of the university.

The day was also to serve as an activities time, when the fall handicap, the hobo parade, the class football championship, and other events which had spread over the whole autumn

period could be run off at one time.

The date was suggested for one of the big football games on the Illinois field.

The entire idea was approved, and from that first memorable affair, held on the Illinois campus in 1910, has come th e great celebrations held annually at almost every college campus across the country.

The university was originally incorporated as the Illinois Industrial University by an act of the General Assembly of Illinois on February 28, 1867. When the University opened on March 2, 1868, the faculty consisted of a regent and two professors, and about 50 students were enrolled. During the first term another instructor was added , and the number of students increased to 77-all men. Instruction

Shield and Trident. The two men worked together on the idea for the next several days and then presented it to the junior honorary group. It was accepted wholeheartedly and then presented to Phoenix, the senior men's honorary, where the plan received the same favorable acceptance.

After more meetings to draw up complete plans and organization of the idea, it was presented to the student body and the administration.

Although the administration viewed the idea more conservatively than the

the autumn of 1868 a chemistry laboratory was provided, and in 1869 laboratory work in botany was begun. In 1870 a shop was equipped with tools and machinery, to start the first shop instruction given in any American university. Also in 1870, women were admitted as students on the same terms as men. In 1885 the legislature changed the name of the institution to The University of Illinois.

From this meager beginning has grown a university of over 21,000 students, the largest full time enrollment in the nation-and a faculty of over 4,000-also the largest in the nation.

For all of its bigness, however, the University's first concern is for the individual student and the development of his individual talents for utilization in nearly any field of human endeavor . Here the student finds the inspiration that comes from participation in group achievement, whether it be in science, in the cultural ar ts, in athletics, or in broad social relationships.

The main campus of the University of Illinois is situated partly in the City of Urbana, and partly in the City of Champaign, in Champaign County, about 50 miles northeast of the geographical center of the state. The two municipalities form one community of more than 70,000 people.

The land occupied by the University is over 9,000 acr es, including about 2,000 acres which are experi-

mental farms located outside of Champaign County, and a 770 acre airport.

There are over 160 buildings on the main campus.

In addition to the main campus at Champaign-Urbana, the University also maintains an undergraduate division at Navy Pier in Chicago with an enrollment in excess of 4,000 students.

Freshman and sophomore courses are offered there in the liberal arts and sciences, commerce and business administration, and engineering. The colleges of medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy are also located in Chicago. The value of the physical equipment of the Chicago campuses alone exceeds $20,000,000.

Operating on what is probably the largest budget of any school in the world, the University provides facilities for study in every field of endeavor. The library houses more than 3,000,000 items, and is the largest of all state university libraries, and among educational institutions is exceeded only by Harvard and Yale, both far older than Illinois. The growth of the library today is at a much greater rate than any other university library.

All three services, Army, Navy, and Air Force have ROTC units at the University, and the combined enrollment of 5,500 cadets and midshipmen almost equals the enrollments of West Point and Annapolis combined.

homecoming founders both became great fraternity leaders W. Elmer Ekblaw, Acacia, and C. F. "Dab" Williams, the men who fathered college homecoming both became great national leaders in their respective fraternities. Mr. Williams, who graduated from Illinois in 1910 went into newspaper work following his graduation. In 1929 he became Editor of The Shield, the national publication of Phi Kappa Psi. In 1930 he was elected as Executive Secretary of his fraternity and still serves today in the capacity of Secretary-Editor.

Dr. Ekblaw served Acacia as aNational Officer for 25 years, holding office as National President, Vice President, Secretary, and Editor.

In 1913, after obtaining his master's degree from Illinois, he was chosen botanist and geologist for the MacMillan Crocker Land expedition which spent four years exploring the northwest part of Greenland and other Arctic areas. In 1926 he received his Ph.D. from Clark University and in 1947 was awarded an honorary degree from Upsala College.

In 1942 he was made a Knight of the Order of the North Star by King Gustaf of Sweden.

Dr. Ekblaw passed away on June 5, 1949.

Mr. Krieger has had an extensive career in the business world, and has been active in fraternity affairs which should make him ideally suited for his new position.

The new Council member was born, raised, and educated in Peoria, Illinois, graduating from Peoria High School in 1914. Following his graduation he entered the University of Illinois and was initiated in 1917. He was an active member of the Chapter in 1917, 1918, 1919, and the spring of 1920. He graduated with an A.B. Degree in Commerce in the spring of 1920.

From 1920 to 1924, Brother Krieger was assistant business manager and purchasing agent at Bradley University. He served as treasurer of The Essco Manufacturing Company from 1924 to 1930, and entered the public accounting field in that year. He established a private practice in his own name in 1941, and became a certified public accountant in 1943. At that time he established the firm of Krieger and

A first year's report

7Tte acacia ?1atiou.al 1oun~ation HE Mother Chapter at the University of Michigan took top honors in contributions to the Acacia Foundation for the first year, more than doubling its nearest competitor. Alumni from every active chapter, and all but one of the inactive chapters, participated in the new foundation.

Total contributions for the 1952-53 school year were $6395. Of this amount, $3470 was received in th e form of annual dues, while $2925 was paid in as life memberships. The overall amount coming into the foundation was quite gratifying to the National Council, considering that this was the first year of operation for the foundation.

Following the leading Michigan Chapter in contributions was Minnesota and Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Harvard, in that order. It was especially noteworthy to see that Harvard alumni ranked fifth among the fortynine contributing alumni bodies, even though the chapter has been inactive since 1934.

The Acacia National F oundation was established primarily to assist local chapters and their building corporations in financing chapter properties. The need for adequate housing at many of our ch apters has become acute, and in many cases the local organization has been unable to provide or to raise the necessary financing. During the past several years the national organization has made every effort to assist the local groups wherever possible. In every instance some assistance was given, but in most cases the help rendered was not as great as it should have been.

The only source of funds for this chapter assistance in th e past has been part of THE TRIAD Life Subscription Fund, and from the endowment fund which was made up primarily of operating surplus that was transferred to it at the end of each year.

At the present time, 15 chapters have outstanding loans totaling over

$70,000 from the National Headquarters. The needs of several other chapters, plus the future outlook of adding

more new chapters at several major universities prompted the Council to establish the N ational Foundation. It is their intent that this found ation provide low interest loans to the various local chapters to assist them in their building programs, and that the interest income from these loans be used to provide national scholarships to worthy and deserving Acacians.

The entire income for the National Foundation will be through v oluntary alumni contributions. The constitution has for m any years provided for the collection of alumni dues, however, until the establishment of the foundation, little or no effort was exerted to use this vehicle. Under the new arrangement, all alumni, except life members, are invited directly by the central office to participate. Alumni dues are currently set at $5 and a life membership, which is a lump sum payment to cover payment of annual dues for life, is $50.

Not the least of the benefits accruing to Acacia under this new program is the revitalizing of the interest of thousands of alumni in their active chapters and in the fraternity nationally. Every alumnus can give a great deal of moral support to the fraternity by pa rtici pating in the alumni activities of his chapter and by annually referring to it the names of outstanding high school students attending universities where there are Acacia Chapters. This one effort alone will be a constant guarantee of maintaining a membership standard in which the fraternity has taken a justifiable pride over the years of its existence.

R equests for dues for the 1953-54 school year have already been mailed to all alumni. It is hoped that the resp onse for the current year will be even greater than last year. Your participation in the National F oundation is vitally necessary in helping Acacia maintain the high standards and fine chapters which she has always had. track-in one year. In addition to its Western Conference victories, the Illini whipped UCLA in the 1947 Rose Bowl45-14, and in the 1952 New Years Day classic they took the Stanford Indians by a 40-7 count.

Illinois boasts 58 fr aternities and 24 sororities-more than any other univer sity. Credit for much of the success of the fraternity and sor ority system on the campus must go to D ean of Students, Fred H . T urner. A strong fraternity man himself, and a past National P resident of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, he is consid ered generally to be the outstanding D ean in the country today. D ean Turner has built this mighty G reek system on a basis where these groups wor k hand in hand with the u n iversity and perform a vital function in the university's overall operation.

A nd as a vital par t of this fraternity system , Acacia is prou d to h ave h er largest ch apter. T he Illinois Chapter was fo unded in 1906 and has constantly been a leader on the Illinois campus. Maintaining the largest and most active alumni body in the entire F ratern ity, the chapter has always prospered . The ph ysical plant of the chapter is today valued in excess of $150,000 and provides comfortable and commodious h ousing¡ for 68 men .

Much of the success of th e chapter must be cr edited to the late J . K. Tut hill. J ack was a loyal worker and lead er from the tim e of h is initiation in 1912 until his d eath in 1952, serving almost continuou sly as Chapter Adviser, F in an cial Adviser, and S ecretary-Treasu rer of the building corporation .

Not only a strong chapter locally, but Illinois has also always been a nationally m inded chap ter. Of 210 N ational Life M embers, 94 are from th e Illinois Chap ter, and 8 chap ter members h ave served in variou s n ational capa cities.

Durin g its 47 years of operation, th e chap ter has won over 75 tr ophies for scholarsh ip, intramural athletics, IFC Sings, Spring Carnivals, etc. Since World War II the chapter h as placed first or secon d every year but once in th e Spring Carnival , and has won three consecu tive intramu ral football champion trophies, in addition to several oth er top awards. I ndividual chapter leaders in recent years has included two class presidents (sophomore and senior) ; a president of the u n ion building ; two Tribe of Illini P residents (lettermans club) ; captain of th e track team ; and the 1953 "Athlete of the Year."

A cacia is proud to be a part of the Univer sity of Illinois-proud to have a fine ch apter at th is great school-proud to have many more faculty members than any other fraternity on the campus-and proud that a great Acacian, W. Elmer Ekblaw, was a cofounder of the first college homecoming.

OF ACACIA

Wilson Airs WMAQ Grid Contests Millions of midwesterners following football games over station WMAQ, National Broadcasting Company's Chicago outlet, will be listening to the voice of a Northwestern Acacian this fall. The voice is that of Joseph S. Wilson, Jr. Ignorance of sportscasting technique, plus the absence of the regular announcer, put J oe on the road to sports announcing fame! The place was Hibbing, Minn., and the date was 1937. The assignment, Joe's first on radio, was to ad lib the 10-minute intermission of a hockey game. When the regular announcer failed to put in an appearance Joe took over and, not knowing that radio sportscasters considered hockey too fast a game to "call" play-by-play, went ahead and did so-accidentally establishing the distinctive, rapid-fire Joe Wilson style of hockey commentary that makes the games one of Joe's most successful sports.

From 1937 to 1948, when Joe made the complete switch to television, he did radio play-by-play commentary on every major sport being aired-plus bowling and a marble toumament.

While working with Harry Wismer, at the Northwestern-Notre Dame game of 1945, Joe uttered what he calls his "most brilliant saying on the air." Before the start of the gridiron contests, the bands of the rival schools, after completing their pre-game formations, assembled for the playing of the National Anthem during the posting of the colors. The combined musical groups joined-in some of the most horrible cacaphony ever heard inside or outside of a football stadium.

Playing in different keys, but not hearing each other, the two groups went on full strength to the very last note. In the pause that followed the lingering echo of the last horrendous dis-chord Joe, faced with a worldwide audience casting puzzled glances at their radio receivers, calmly stated: "And that was our National Anthem -played the way Salvador Dali would paint it!"

Joe joined the staff of Chicago TV station WBKB in 1948. He had been free-lancing at that station since 1944, doing studio shows that ran the gamut from newscasts and sports reviews to straight dramatic roles (no great chore for Joe, a veteran of Northwestern University's student theater). J oe earned his well-deserved title of "TV's

Pioneer Sportscaster" from his early work in the first telecasts of live sports remotes; there was practically no sports event in which Joe didn't win the distinction of doing a television "first."

Indoor soccer, midget auto racing, girls' baseball, men's softball-all are in the Wilspn background of play-byplay teiecasting, along with the more conventional football, baseball and wrestling skirmishes. An astounding total of 772 separate events, with 37 different sponsors-and almost all of them "firsts" in the midwest!

In early 1952 Joe left WBKB to become a member of the MBS "Gameof-the-Day" broadcasting crew for the baseball season. His baseball coverage, extending from 1946 through 1952, makes Joe the oldest announcer of that sport in TV ranks from the standpoint of years of service.

Joe Wilson was born in Eveleth, Minn., (he celebrates his birthday May 7) where he returned after completing his studies at Northwestem University to marry Margaret Berg, whose pigtails he had pulled when they were kindergarteners together.

The Wilsons are ¡ the parents of two girls, 14-year-old Hope and 9-year-old Geraldine, severe critics of the Wilson television performances.

Joe returned home from ¡his first NBC Sports Co rner show a few months ago, braced to receive the scathing appraisal of his two daughters. "Oh, Dad, we think it's just wonderful!" they chorused as they danced around their astounded father.

Then, with the ego-deflating punch line that only one's own offspring can deliver, they concluded: "You're on the same station as Tom Duggan!"

The humor of his home critics to the contrary, the addition of Joe Wilson to the staff of WNBQ, as gridiron annotator and all-around sports authority, brings to NBC an informed source of sports information unparalled in the midwest, if not in the entire country.

Joe is truly "TV's Pioneer Sportscaster"-an "announcer's announcer" whose manner of presentation and relaxed sense of humor have done much to influence the pace and style of the broadcasting and telecasting of sports events.

Joe is five feet, 10 inches tall, weighs about 182 and has brown hair and green eyes. Sports are his hobby, fortunately, and for participation, he prefers swimming and hockey.

Three other newspapers also won honorable mention. They are the Boston Daily Record, the Trenton Trentonian (N.J.), and the San Jose (Cal.) Mercury.

Tolle, in his editorial, said "Our nation was founded on faith in God." Urging America to go back to the sustaining faith of our forefathers, Tolle warned: "In more recent times there has been a tendency on the. part of some of our people to take our God-given blessings for granted. They have forgotten to take God into account in their individual endeavors."

"It was the first in my life," said the Illinois Acacian. "My first and last. I used a driver and laid it just short and hoped it would be on the green. Then they started yelling. It was a little further than I could see.

I had watched Chick Evans tee off there, and he used a No. 4 wood, so I figured from that what I'd need."

After a pause he added, "A blind hog and an acorn."

THE TRIAD

The Job Is Ours

By ROY C. CLARK OUNTLESS thousands of words have been written on the subject of "discrimination" or selectivity of membership by fraternities. These range from articles and editorials in college dailies and the public press, to analyses and dissertations by learned educators and fraternity leaders.

All have been in support of a movemerit against alleged nefarious practices among fraternities in selecting their memberships, or in defense of the right and privilege of freedom of association with individuals of our own choosing.

It would seem, possibly, that all that could be said on this controversial subject has been capably said already. However, it is true that those who wish to mold the pattern of fraternity membership by outside regulation, will not remain silent and that the ¡coming academic year will be no different than many others. By the time this is being read the campaigns on many campuses will have been revived and new ones will be started on others. The thousands of new enrollments will provide a new audience to supplement the field already under cultivation, and the fraternities have no alternative except to rebut the arguments even though it may seem boresome to repeat ideas already presented.

This article is not to be a scholarly rendition supported by graphs and charts and a mass of statistics. It is intended to be down to earth; a realistic and practical approach in restating facts which are well known but susceptible to twis~ng in the lexicon of clever people not averse to double talk. The seemingly spontaneous campaigns which spring up have a similar pattern of operation easily detected by veteran observers but not especially significant to others.

Let us face the facts. Those who are carrying the torch in the fight against "discrimination" are not friends of the fraternity system. They seek, not its reform, but its dissolution. This will be heatedly denied and some of the denials will be honestly made from the honest hearts of men who have not thought the subject through to its only logical conclusion.

Our opponents are not intellectually honest. This is apparent from the inception of any specific campaign.

They redefine the meaning of words to the extent that terminologies take on a meaning that is offensive. The

C

OF ACACIA

prime example, of course, is the corruption of the word "discrimination."

Webster would never recognize its present usage. From a very inert and admirable original connotation it has taken on a modern one tainted with malicious bigotry. It has been narrowed to the point that there are apparently only three kinds of "discrimination"-those based on race, color or creed. Thus a fraternity which considers these three items, or any one of them, is wholly bad. By inference, or at least by omission, there is nothing wrong in a social fraternity confining its members to agricultural students, or engineers, or to those brilliant enough to meet a stated grade average. Likewise, nothing is said about the chapter which concentrates on athletes, debaters, music majors or just the smooth type boy who wears the right clothes, patronizes the Classic Barber Shop and knows the latest wisecracks.

To be entirely fair, our opponents should be equally exercised over the whole range of discriminatory practices over which they might conceivably make a much better case. Of course, that would mean immediately advocating elimination of the college fraternity system, as well as every other type of social organization, and that would be a rather fatal tipping of the hand. In addition, they would be pleading guilty themselves to the same sins now charged wholly against fraternities.

Having arranged a very convenient definition of words and repeating them often enough, it is a relatively easy matter to attract a following from those who are naturally crusaders, romanticists or just plain unthinking people who persist in viewing the world as it should be and not as it is. Included will be some who are honestly seeking reforms but who make the mistake of working outside, rather than within their own organizations.

It has been repeatedly proven in Communist and Fascist activities that a small but vocal minority is capable of taking over a situation, if it has a plan and works at it hard enough.

College campuses are no exception and oftentimes provide a much more fertile field because of the natural and entirely laudable idealism of youth and the cloistered atmosphere of intellectuality. The perfection of a tight little group of students, assisted

perhaps, by a few ultra-liberal faculty members, marks the completion of the first major step in the campaign.

The next is to secure a sounding board. The college daily is the proper vehicle for that. A well organized and publicized campaign of meetings, articles to the editor, editorials and news items regarding isolated or planted examples of "discrimination" in the college town serves to whip up indignation about the evils to be eliminated. Not the least effective in the campaign is that of securing . signed statements by campus leaders.

Most all of us are firm believers of equal political and economic rights to all, not to mention sanctity of the home, religious freedom and Mother's Day. With these broad fundamentals as a spring board and having made a semblance of case against fraternities who "discriminate," it is not too easy for a campus or faculty leader, who has perhaps paid little attention to what has been going on, to refuse to subscribe to the program to eliminate the vicious practices going on right under his nose. Unfortunately it frequently happens that the Inter-Fraternity Council or at least some fra ternity men, fall prey to the hypnotic process and sign up as the expedient thing to do, or for fear that refusal will be used to paint him as a bigot himself.

To all these maneuvers must be added the student poll taken by the daily or some other means modeled after Dr. Gallup in which it is not too difficult to establish a climate desiring a change. It does not matter that the results are obtained by means of slanted questions, expert seeding, or just plain lethargy of those individuals who lack the backbone to stand up and be counted. It is thus relatively easy to secur e statistics which are imposing and by pr ojection indicate that the whole student body is aflame and demanding that the administration do something about eliminating those evil fraternities which are blighting the fair name of the college.

Some college administrators accept all these developments at their face value with little or no inclination to look behind the scenes to discover how this whole movement received its start and how it was maneuvered .

So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps . the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Oklahoma Univer sity's football team is the only team in the nation that has placed in football's Top T en the last five y ears in succession. The Oklahoma Sooner's recor d under Coach Bud Wilkinson stands at 54 won, 7 lost, and 2 tied in the past six years.

Roger, who plays tackle, is a senior major ing in education. After gr aduation and a 2-year stretch in the A r my, he plans to b e a high school coach.

Roger is m arried and r ecently became a p r oud father. He stands 6 feet, 1 inch, and weighs 225 pounds.

Nelson is a fine all-ar ound lineman, and even though he is recovering from a severe ankle injur y, he is noted for being a solid blocker. Also, he has so much speed that he sometimes plays defensive end.

In high school at Wynnewood, Oklahoma, Roger was also an outstanding player, and at the end of his senior year was voted a "Little" All-American.

Roger says that his greatest thrill

was when in a game between Oklahoma University and Oklahoma A & M College, he intercepted a pass and rambled 27 yards to a touchdown.

the course of least resistance and lend their efforts to bringing about positive disciplinary action, or the threat of it, against those fr aternities who persist in asking only that they be allowed to choose their associations as a group, just as they do as individuals.

Fortunately, as in the cases of Cornell and Michigan, there have been brave and honest administrators who have cut through the propaganda of attack and have taken a stand to protect the rights of those under attack.

In too many instances the opponents of the fr aternity system have been successful in swaying adminis-

trators and even some of our brother fraternities have found it expedient to dispense with their so-called "clauses." Surely no one would point the finger of criticism at any such groups for that would be negating the whole issue at stake--the freedom and right to choose associations freely, without compulsion or the threat of it. Let no one be so naive as to believe that victory for our opponents in the elimination of membership requirements will end the conflict; temporizing or retreat as the result of attack settles nothing ultimately. The second step will be to force the fraternities to prove that they have become pure. That can only be accomplished by prescribing a system of quotas and requiring the fraternities to periodically demonstrate their adherence to the new order. Thus fraternities, as they have existed for more than a century, will no longer live and the final objective of our enemies will have been accomplished.

This is, indeed, a bleak and dismal picture , and there are those who will rise to pooh-pooh this conclusion.

They may honestly feel that yielding to our opponents and removing the "clauses" is the course of expediency and will solve the problem neatly and we will be able to go on as before.

However, it is difficult to accept the conclusion that our enemies will be satisfied with lip service without proven performance. No democratic electorate loses its freedom at one fell swoop. It comes about only as the result of many failures to resist en-

those who are using every effort to deny us the right of freedom of association. As fraternity men we have the duty of protecting this right by being alert to the activities of organizations and associations attempting to
