Memo from the Editor

. Page 17

Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Nashville, Tennessee. Fifty cents per copy, $15.00 for life in the United States and Canada. Seventy-five cents per copy elsewhere.

Published quarterly at The Benson Printing Company, 136 Fourth Avenue, North, Nashville 3 , Tennessee, for the Acacia Fraternity, a college social fraternity, founded at the University of Michigan on May 12, 1904. Acacia is a charter member of the National Interfraternity Conference.

Notice of Change of Address (Form 3579} should be sent to Acacia Fraternity Headquarters, 1569 Sherman Ave., Evanston, Ill.

Nice try, but no cigar. At least that's what many of us at Acacia Rensselaer feel about your new editorial policy. Discontent has ranged anywhere from suggested references to Croce's Aesthetic (Noonday Press, N.Y. 1922, 1960) to more mundane uses of raw paper.

I personally know something of the problem you face; for I have edited publications and aided in the composition of many others. Obviously you are painfully short of material.

The average well- read Acacian out our way has assimilated those articles of national interest you print months before they appear in your pages.

Your fraternity food number (November, 1961) has been discussed at length with the conclusion having been reached that we'd rather starve than live on the sterile and unferal diet proposed. Your article on the Michigan Symphonic band tour could have been matted in something besides an atrocious funeral black and titled less cleverly than "We Blew Horns at the Russians." Great God, man, somebody might have been interested in the trip; not the typographical prestidigitations.

In short, we feel that an undercompensation of "how" in years previous cannot be cured by an accentuated gaudiness and bad taste.

You may make your magazine controversial-for one issue. But if it raises such obvious dissatisfaction as its triteness of material and gaudy artwork have proven it able to dq, you must reconsider.

1

After all, sir, you have proven to us that the TRIAD has sufficient money to finance novel printing projects. Why not spend that money instead of on Gauche and secondhand material, on reasonable improvements?

R. B. Thompson, Sec'y.

Troy, N.Y. Correctly, I should address this letter to Alan Olson, the editor (correspondence was to Bob Jepson) but since I know you better from old times at Kansas State I might as well say hello to you.

The purpose of writing is to not practice my English (it badly needs a brush-up) but to congratulate Acacia for the new TRIAD which I find just fine in every respect. Keep up the good work! In Switzerland things are quite well and business is still booming? Were it not for the Russian menace at our east European horizon, there wouldn't be a thing to worry about. You probably know that I got married five years a go and have three youngsters. If you ever get to Kansas, please remember me to the Acacians there.

Hans Hungerbuhler Bruggen -St. Gallen Switzerland Because of a variety of activities, I was late in reading the February issue of the TRIAD and so my comment on it is correspondingly late. The news (TRIAD TIMES) section is very interestingly set up and enjoyable. I will admit that I agree with

your correspondent who found the black borders hard on the eyes. I would have greatly preferred to have the Russian pictures with white paper borders instead of the deep black. That, however, is purely a matter of style and taste, and I can become accustomed to it, unless you receive so many and such violent "kicks" that you discontinue it.

However, I do wish to protest vigorously the article, "A Voice from the Right," in a fraternity paper. I happen to disagree rather completely politically with the article but that has nothing to do with the case. I would think an article which presented my particular political views would be equally inadmissable in a fraternity paper.

You say (page 4) that "interchange of opinion should also be a vital part of our fraternity publication." I agree with you, but I feel in a fraternity paper the interchange should be on matters with more or less definite relation to fraternity or university matters rather than merely political discussion. This particular discussion is dividing the conservative forces of the United States seriously. Look magazine for April 24 tells the tragic story of what it is doing to our churches. Let's not help to have it do the same to our fraternity.

The article replying to Esquire's blast against fraternities is a splendid example of controversy with a proper purpose for a fraternity paper. I do not by any means mean that fraternity members will not and should not discuss the "Right-Left" problem. They wouldn't be living in today's world if they didn't-but I do feel that any one-sided presentation of the problem, regardless of which side it takes, has no place in a strictly fraternity paper.

Charles J . Willard Kansas State 448 Columbus, Ohio

Congratulations on your new format. You have done a terrific job in giving the TRIAD the "new look."

It is a great improvement over previous TRIAD publications.

I want especially to express my delight in your section entitled "TRIAD TIMES." It is far superior to the old "Among Acacia's Chapters."

No longer is there a need to devote several minutes to each chapters news in order to find out how well each chapter is doing on its individual campus.

In a few short minutes, we can read about the acccomplishments of outstanding Acacia campus leaders and the chapter of which they are members.

Also under the section TRIAD TIMES, I was pleased to read the articles written by our national officers. Their articles were very appropriately timed.

Keep up the good work. The TRIAD has never been better!

Lyle M. Baskett Colorado State University Fort Collins, Col.

Your November issue was certainly a success. I very much li'::e the new layout and format and the use of at least one color other than black. You've obviously done quite a bit in advertising as I can see the flavor in the layouts and I approve.

As I think you know, I was involved in a serious automobile accident in December of 1958 but as o.f last November, I have re-entered my regular field of public relations.

TO ALL ACACIANS: Your fraternity's biennial Conclave at Austin, Texas isn't held just for delegates to perform their constitutional duties to elect new officers and initiate legislation. It's held so that all members attending can 1om in the training periods, take part in t'he bull sessions, enjoy the real benefits of fraternalism in Acacia by finding out how things are done in other parts of the Acacia world.

Why not join your brothers in Texas. Renew your interest.

Above all, pledge your self to follow the progress of Acacia with renewed enthusiasm.

Bill Krieger, National President Looking south from the picturesque tower of the University of Texas' main bu ilding, you see famous Austin capitol bui lding , where the final election session of the Conclave may be

Acacia's first conclave in Texas promises to be BIG in every sense of the word ... from attendance to fellowship to plans for continued growth of the fraternity.

Registration opens at 8 a.m. August 26 and continues until 9 p.m. that night. The conclave officially opens the next day at 9 a.m. with a formal ceremony and keynote address, continuing through the award banquet Thursday night and breaking up August 31 following breakfast with the distribution of expense funds to delegates.

Business sessions will be held in air conditioned rooms at the Conclave headquarters, the Commodore Perry Hotel in downtown Austin. There is a possibility that the final election session will be held in the chambers of the Texas legislature in the famous capitol building, located only a few blocks from the hotel.

The official reception given by the National Council will be held at the new Acacia chapter house on campus Sunday at 8 p.m. There'll be refreshments, entertainment and a formal receiving line for delegates.

Business sessions are scheduled for 9 a .m., with breakfast at 7 a.m. each day. Monday night there will be meetings for advisors and corporation officers, venerable deans, and a rush school. Tuesday evening features a swim party and donkey race, to be held at Barton Springs park. There'll be numerous competitive events adding to the spirit of the occasion.

Wednesday afternoon has been set for four simultaneous training sessions, starting at 2 p.m. Included are sessions on pledge training, finance, Masonic relations and Gold Book use. Following these meetings there will be a closed conclave meeting for a special training session on ritual and public relations directed toward alumni.

That evening promises to be a highlight of the conclave when delegates travel about 15 miles from Austin to attend a real Texas style pit barbecue, with beer, western music, etc. included.

Official theme of this year's Conclave? "Acacia Grows .. . Texas Style." And that means just one thing: BIG. A big conclave and a bigger Acacia yet to come. Don't forget ... it's AUSTIN in AUGUST! (For ACACIANS, natch! ! )

MEMO FROM ACACIA NATIONALby ROY CLARK sions as are delegated to it by the Conclave.

A conclave, however, especially in the latter years, . is much more than a legislative session. In between such sessions, thru seminars, work-shops, and round table discussions, leadership training is provided in many fields of chapter operations. Rushing, pledge education, public and alumni relations, ritual, officer and advisor training and allied subjects are covered by experts in the field. And interspersed is an interesting and complete program of social events attractive to all, including the wives in attendance.

Because of the variety of happenings and programs of benefit, Conclaves grow larger each time. More and more actives and alumni are attending so that the attendance is several times the number of official delegates.

All Acacians are welcome at Conclaves. To alumni they provide an opportunity to learn how the fraternity operates to-day. To actives they offer a multitude of advantages, not the least of which is the opportunity of rubbing shoulders with their peers from all over the country; to realize first hand that they are, indeed, part of a national organization, and that their chapter is only one of forty-eight, but all of which are striving for the same goals.

A Conclave is truly a colorful event. Those who attend are enthusiastic about it; those who cannot attend, don't know what they are missing!

Webster defines conclave as: "a private meeting; a closed or secret assembly." For the Acacia Conclave that is a pretty good definition. While many of the sessions are not secret, certain of them are; and according to the laws of Acacia, the Conclave is composed only of those official delegates chosen as prescribed and properly certified.

For the benefit of alumni who may have forgotten and some actives who may not have remembered their pledge lessons, the Conclave is composed of two official delegates from each chapter; the Venerable Dean or his chapterapproved alternate; and the Chapter Advisor, or any alumnus of the chapter he represents, in the event he cannot be present. In addition, the members of the National Council ar¡e also delegates. Each delegate is entitled to one vote.

What does a Conclave do? Primarily it is concerned with legislation. Again, referring to the laws it is the supreme legislative body of the fraternity, subject only to a referendum of the chapters, where indicated. In other words, it enacts the laws or changes constitutional provisions already in existence, and passes on routine matters such as dues, budget, procedures and makes recommendations. Contrary to the opinions of many, the National Council does not make the laws. Of itself and through the central office, it can only carry out the dictates of the Conclave or make such deci-

penn state: the house of 23 hats 1 Acacia has earned more honors at this eastern campus than any other fraternity; it rides high now . . . but how did it get there and how does it stay there? Acacian Richard Leighton, concerned with just such questions, discussed the subject with Penn State's V.D. Stephen Ulmer and wrote the following article

most of the time the sliding is fast, " he explains.

As an example, Ulmer points out that in 1958.

Acacia and Tau Kappa Epsilon were considered the two top houses at Penn State. Since then TKE has been gently pushed off the top of the slide, and has dropped rather quickly. They now rank 23th in scholarship (out of 53 fraternities) , they have few outstanding men in activities and in general interfraternity activities such as sports and Greek Week activities they seldom are top contenders.

What happened to Tau Kappa Epsilon could happen to us, Ulmer contends. They became content and among other things lowered their rushing

It might be interesting to take a survey of the presidents of the number one fraternity houses on the American campus scene. By asking one general question such as "How does it feel to be top house on campus?" you might get some very unexpected answers-at least you woi.ild at Penn State.

The top house ~t 'p ~nqd~tatl!' is Acacia, and its Venerable Dean, S·tep·h e~ ·r..:·Ulmer, answers the above question with three words: "It scares me." ··· " Being on top is like being on a slide. It takes you a long time to climb the steps on one side, but once you get as high as you can go there is vnly one other direction you can move-down, and

criteria-and they slid.

To stay on top, you have to be able to pick the men who are going to be able to keep you on top"and then you have to rush them and rush ¡them and rush them," Ulmer says. Men with p~tential can be helped greatly by a good active chapter, he explains, and if the active chapter realizes that the primary ingredient in the lifeblood of a good fnitemity is hard, selective rushing that¡ chapter usually will end up with a good house.

"The first thing we look for in a young man .is good scholarship. In freshmen ¡ and sophomores, this is the best rushing criterian. V ery often the rushee has had little chance to branch out into activities yet, and we've found out that by selecting the cream of the academic crop and exposing it to some of the outstanding men in the chapter we have a constant turnover of campus leaders.

Other aspects of the rushee, of course, are also studied, Ulmer points out, but these are usually more intangible than an all-university average.

Things like personality, dress and interest in the fraternity are all considered before extending a bid to a prospective Acacian." Acacia has become a prestige house on this campus and finding rushees is not difficult, but weedii)g out the men from the boys is the hard part," discloses the V. D .

"When a young man is rushing fraternities, he seems to categorize the various houses on campus.

They acquire names like 'Wet,' 'Drunk,' 'Dry' or 'Party Houses,' some are 'Jock,' or 'Professional Houses' and some are even openly called 'Animal Houses.' Our chapter has kept itself apart from all this, except perhaps from being considered dry.

Judging by current opinion on campus, the most frequent name Acacia has received is Hat House!''

Hat societies at Penn State recogmze students fo_r outstanding achievements in extra-curricular activities, as well as high scholarship, and Acacia has a total of 23 "hats"-more than any other fraternity on campus and an extremely high number when you consider that many houses are still trying to get one "hatman" in the fraternity.

"Souietimes this reputation has some amusing aspects," Ulmer reveals. "More than one brother bas' come back to 't he house with stories of how their dates have quaked with all those BMOC's around." This might sound like idle boasting, but a look at some of the so-called Big Men On Campus in the house proves the point: At present, the Penn State chapter boasts of the following BMOC's: The editor-in-chief, city editor, sports editor and picture editor of the university's daily newspaper. The editor, the managing editor, the fraternity editor and the photography editor of the university yearbook. The president of _the hat society council, the presidents of the two senior hat societies and the secretary of one of the two junior hat societies. The president pro tempore of the university student government, the president of the junior class, the co7chaim1en of the 1961 and 1962 orientation prog; ,am, the co-chairman ot the elections commission Knd five men who have been named to this year's edition of "Who's Whq Among Students in American Colleges and Universities."

The list, of course, could go on to include college council officers and professional honor society members, but it can be seen why an impressionable young coed might "quake."

"We've reached the top, alright," Ulmer agrees, "but where do we go from here? Take this year,

9

ternity, but 20 of them are living in two annexes across the street. If anything, then, brotherhood should be improved. I just hope that our rushees don't overemphasize the physical plant. Since we only rush the best, we've stressed brotherhood and the ideals of the house. If we begin to stress the beauties of the house now, rather than brotherhood, we might subconsciously begin to relax on the brotherhood idea ourselves."

Asked about a fraternity reaching the top, Ulmer says that the entire aqive chapter has to work toward that goal. If you are low on the list, you might not be able to get the type of man necessary to help you on the climb to the top--but you can get him if you go about it the right way, he maintains.

The first thing you have to do is to get the entire chapter to realize that its standards are too low -not necessarily too low in judging rushees, but too low in judging itself. "The type of rushees you get varies directly with the attitude of your active chapter," he declared. When a chapter finally realizes that it has been lax on scholarship or participation in campus life and decides to do something about it, then it is on the way up." If the active chapter is sincere and can show that it is serious, then you might begin getting the potential "Who's Who" men, Ulmer contends.

A rushee wants to join a fraternity with ideals similar to his. The men with the high ideals are the men that make campus leaders. You might have to raise your own personal standards before you can attract them. Once everyone realizes that your standards are high, it will become an honor to rush the house. At Penn State, a man is proud to say he received a bid from Acacia.

for example. So far we've received the trophy for being first in scholarship among the 53 fraternities, won the IFC sing, just missed winning the overall Greek Week competition (Acacia placed , second by the narrowest possible margin to Delta Delta Delta sorority) and placed fifth in intramural sports. Do you think we can better this record?

"We might be able to, but no fraternity has even equalled it yet," Ulmer points out. "We don't want to sacrifice brotherhood for activities, however. So far, we've maintained as close a brotherhood as any house on campus and a lot closer than most ot them, but this is because everyone has maintained close ties with the university and the house. I mean that from the time we pledge men we instill in them a love of the university and the fraternity which is rarely equalled on this campus-most of our men are not only willing, but enjoy working for the house and university.

"Suppose we become content now? Suppose we feel that we have enough men in activities and not enough Good-Time-Charlies? Supr,ose we let a few men in who only want to be associated with the top house? What wlll happen?"

Ulmer is convinced that sometimes as president of the top house on campus you feel like the fastest gunman in the West. There's always somebody who wants to be faster-and if you don't keep your chapter on its toes, the road goes downhill all the way.

"We should begin construction on our new extension and remodeling of our house in the summer," the V. D. explains. "When we are finished, the house should accommodate between 56 and 60 men. The number of men should present no real trouble. Right now we have 54 men in the fra-

THE ACACIA TRAIL first round-up of a school year has been completed. across the country involving visits to 35 chapters 30,000 miles of travel in one form or another. ~-,I::~!Ufl[llli this year I have met many fine Acacians and have mCiny memorable experiences and a few that might 1M understated as "trying."

It Is most interesting In this type of work to notice the :a:;';.:Jiatlllm of similarities that prevail throughout the fraternity. common problems at several chapters--solved at unsolved at others. There are some unique local situabut not as many as some chapters think and what at X chapter will many times work at Y chapter but :tOIInelltne has to do the work necessary to make It succeed. being the case, this is probably an appropriate time air a few of my own observations on some cammon -~]!m•blltms, if solved, would strengthen many chapters localand the Acacia fratemlty nationally.

Except in very rare instances chapters know a week to 10 days before about a Field Secretary's visitation and a post card sent at the time events are planned would allow him to adjust his schedule accordingly. A schedule of each chapter's planned events--social and otherwise-would be appreciated.

A third area that could be used to strengthen the fraternity Is greater participation In the Interfraternity Councils at the various colleges. No fraternity is stronger than the system of which it is a part and the many jokes about th&> inabilities and the disorganization of the IFC are a disgrace. The IFC delegate should be one of Influence who has the knowledge and authority to "speak for the house." He should discuss maHen of Importance at chapter meetings and get as many men as he can Interested and working on various IFC commiHees. If your college has a weak IFC, think about how YOU might help form and serve on an IFC rush, public relations, scholarship, pledge trolnlng proctlces, Greek Week, or other commiHee. The true worth of a froternlty Is not realized until after you leave the adive chapter. The more effort put Into the organization as an undergraduate the more you will appreciate It upon groduation.

IM·PR~OV:EMENTS

The annual Homecoming float parade at Cincinnati has been called one of the most professional demonstrations of float building on a college campus. Thirty of last year's 32 floats represented Greek efforts and Acacia placed sixth.

Theme was the history of Cincinnati, the team played the Houston Cougars. Acacia utilized the city's reputation as an early railroad center, building a locomotive chasing a cougar. (See picture).

Since the hour, natch, was late . . . the men were invited to stay over.

The traditional gambling party was again held, with fake money being provided for guests (who seemed to win most of the time , natch!). A prize was awarded at evening 's end to the biggest paper money winner.

Perhaps the most successful event: a scaveng.er hunt. Rushees and actives teamed up in groups of five or six. Some of the more unusual items obtained: a policeman 's holster, a I0-year old license plate. Credited with much of the success was William Davies, rush chairman, assisted by John Wedgwood, Hugh Kirtland, Larry Foreman and Jim Shaw.

Purdue Acacians are convinced that new rush policies pay off. As a result of an intensified program last fall, when caliber of men was extremely high, Acacia copped 25 men , with a grade index of 4.8, based on a 6.0 system. Here 's a brief rundown of how they did it: held two twist parties for two weekends during rush period. These were date affairs for rushees. Refreshments were served and limbo and twist contests held. After rushees took their dates home, they returned to the

Founder's Day for California chapter was observed April IS with an afternoon annual business meeting attended by alumni, a cocktail party and a banquet. Harve·y Amos, first V.P. of Acacia National, was featured speaker. Alumni were impressed by house improvements which include repainting of the main deck, refinishing of the dining room floor, tables and chairs, and recovering of living room and den furniture. One of the brothers made a new coffee table and three new end tables. Two of the men who founded the chapter in 1905H arry Barnes and William Hewes Hopkins-were present.

That's what the Nebraska Delta Sigs were saying last fall and early winter. One pumpkin "given " by them resulted in scores of pumpkins arriving by mail from all parts of the country. Nebraska chapter sent out an appeal letter to Acacia houses, seeking reinforcement in the " Pumpkin War " , as it is now referred to . When the first pumpkin came by mail, the Delta Sigs thought it pretty funny; after the barrage intensified, feelings changed. So far-no retaliation against the Ac-Acs.

building corporation met to celebrate the first Founder's Day, to formulate plans for building a new house, and to form an alumni association. The chapter was congratulated at the Founder's Day banquet by Dr. D. W. Colvard, president of MSU for having made su c h phenomenal progress in two years ' time . MSU Acacia Colony was formed April 2, 1960 and became an active chapter Feb. 18, 1961.

Neighbors from the surrounding area had been invited to a noon meal and open house. For many, it wa s their first glimpse inside a fraternity house, and a complete tour wa s given.

A DAY WITH DAVE:

Mr. Acacia from Indiana is Dave Allen, law student

currently winding up his first year as assistant to Gov. Matthew Welsh at the Indianapolis State House.

A former graduate advisor for three years, Allen is serving his second term as president of the Indiana alumni association and is the chapter's representative to the university alwnni interfraternity council. During his years as advisor the chapter climbed from 23rd to 4th place in scholastic ranks on the campus. A study library within the house stands today as tribute to his efforts and he has. assisted several men in obtaining scholarship loans. When jobs were scarce last summer, Allen helped 13 brothers find work with various state agencies. A 1960 graduate, he's enrolled in the law school and is working towards a doctorate in government. As assistant to the governor, Dave's day starts with h is arrival at work at 8 a.m.

Dictation occupies most of the morning. Each assistant has specific inquiries which come to the governor to answer. D ave deals with legislation and research m atters for the most part. Below, D ave confers with the governor on a m emorandum to the major department heads concerning future cabinet meetings, th en they both left for lunch. At the top right, D ave receives information on improvements of a school crossing near Notre Dame University from Clint V eneble, chief engineer of the state highway department's traffic division at a 2 p.m. session. Fred Garver, assistant to the state chairman and another Indiana alumnus, looks on. Final picture shows Allen explaining the state road building program to a group of officials prior to signing correspondence at 4: 30 and a 5: 30 departure for law school classes. Besides official duties and studies, Dave finds time for Masonic activities, including the Shrine.
