"A · NEW AWARD"

Founder Charles A. Sink presents the Roy C. Clark Outstanding Acacian Award to President George F. Patterson, Jr. as Nebraska Acacians Eric Brown and Bob Zieg look on.

• • • •

The 1966 Conclave saw the creation of a new award. The idea was conceived by the members of the Nebraska Chapter to honor Roy C. Clark.

Recognizing the immeasurable contributions Brother Clark has made to all the Chapters, Nebraska contacted, by letter, the undergraduate Chapters to explain their idea, to determine the degree of interest across the country in such an undertaking, and to seek suggestions as to the most fitting way in which to honor Brother Clark. The response was of such magnitude that there could be no doubt as to the interest and desire on the part of the several Chapters. After further consultation, it was decided to create a new award in Brother Clark's name. The finalized ·plan was circulated among the Chapters, and overwhelmingly approved. This award is to be given, starting in 1967, to that undergraduate Acacian who most nearly exemplifies the attributes of Brother Clark.

HONORING

AN

OUTSTANDING

ACACIAN

Executive Secretary Emeritus

At the 1966 Conclave of Acacia Fraternity a new Award was created. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to attend the Conclave and accept this memorable tribute; and since it involves me, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep and sincere feelings.

At the concluding Banquet, Founder Brother Charles A. Sink unveiled and formally presented to National President Patterson-who accepted on my behalf-the beautiful bronze plaque that appears on the cover of this TRIAD and bears the following inscription: In grateful appreciation for his many years of devoted service to the Undergraduate Chapters, we humbly dedicate this award to Brother Roy C. Clark, who, since his initiation into our Fraternity on May 12, 1921, has served as Chapter Adviser, 1938 to 1960; National Treasurer, 1936 to 1940; and National Executive Secretary since 1947. This award to be presented annually to ' that undergraduate Acacian who most nearly exemplifies the outstanding attributes of Brother Clark' perseverance, integrity, foresight, loyalty, devotion, wis-

dom, and leadership.

We Salute You When I learned of this tribute, I was completely overwhelmed and, of course, very happy and proud. As I understand it, the idea for the plaque originated with the members of the Nebraska Chapter, completely without a suggestion from any other source. This indeed was thoughtful, and sincerely appreciated. The expense was borne by all the Undergraduate Chapters; and the fact that this was an undergraduate project particularly impressed and moved me, since its purpose is designed to honor an outstanding undergraduate Acacian each year.

I have never received a recognition which touched me so deeply, nor one which is more highly prized. I humbly and sincerely express my deep appreciation to the Undergraduate Chapters for the honor they have bestowed upon me. In actuality the inscription that appears on the Roy C. Clark Outstanding Acacian Award, "We Salute You," is inappropriate-for, Brothers, it is I who salute you.

common denominator of life in these 1960's, substantially influencing and affecting virtually every activity of man.

I am firmly convinced that during the years ahead, fraternities, too, must become participants in this unending tableau of change. To be precsie, they must be, not merely participants, but leaders and standard bearers as well in creating change that is both orderly and constructive.

For several months now, whenever the opportunity has presented itself, I have been speaking to audiences composed of both the young and the not-so-young, about the tide of change that is sweeping across the globe today. One thing I have been emphasizing is my firm belief that during the next 20 years or so, the field of education itself will realize perhaps the most revolutionary changes of all. Many of these changes are already apparent. All of them will have a marked effect upon . the institutions you represent and the fraternity system you support.

How is the face of the modern college or university changing? Take a look at enrollments. During the past few years, literally thousands of eager young people have descended upon our campuses, each seeking a meaningful education that will !ustain them in a world of change.

For every college student ten years ago, today there are two. In short, our colleges and universities have become virtual cities in themselves, with populations numbering in the tens of thousands.

And then there is the matter loosely referred to as student activities-a growing awareness by the modern student of the problems confronting society and an eagerness to come to grips with those problems. One does not have to visit Berkeley to learn that today's college student is vitally interested in the major events and issues of our time.

This concern may sometimes be misguided, yes. It may sometimes prompt ill-advised actions on the part of impatient students. It may sometimes add a few gray

By JoHN A. HuNTER I would like to talk to you, as one Greek to another, about some of the responsibilities with which fraternity men everywhere must concern themselves during the years ahead, and some of the implications the future holds for the fraternity system as a whole.

So, for a few moments, let us peer into the future and consider how the coming years will affect, test and challenge the fraternity system as we know it today. And, as we speculate upon the future, we can be sure of one thing : It is a future that will be marked by change, a future in which change is the order of the day. And we need not look far to find proof of the changing nature of the modern world and man's key role in bringing about that change. For example, consider just a few of the changes that have occurred during the past ten years.

A decade ago, for instance, the idea of a manned spacecraft orbiting the earth was a mere fantasy, a dream. Today it is an accomplished fact. In fact, it is almost a monthly occurrence.

Ten years ago, man walked in space only in comic books and science fiction movies. Today, that feat is rapidly becoming commonplace.

Today, there are in operation computers that can "talk" to other computers and, incidentally, "out-think" even the most brilliant human mind.

Today, we can view in our living rooms, live television programs originating half way around the globe.

And today we can transmit, and receive here on earth, photographs taken from a vantage point on the surface of the moon.

And I would remind you that all of these achievements have been recorded not merely within the last 100 years, not within the past 50 years, but within the past decade, roughly one-seventh of the life span of the average man.

Well, now, obviously, then, whenever we speak of the future, we speak of change. Change has become th e

TRIAD is again pleased to present the ((Point of View" of a concerned educator and fellow Greek, on a topic that will be of interest to our readers. ((The Challenge of Change" represents the view of Dr. John A . Hunter, distinguished president of Louisiana State University, whose remarks were originally presented at a keynote speech at Acacia's 1966 Conclave. Dr. Hunter, although a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, was instrumental in the organization of the Acacia chapter at LSU.

hairs to the heads of harried administrators. But this newly-emerging activism is a definite part of the changing college scene. And if I read the signs correctly, it will be with us for a long time to come.

All of which is well and good, in my opinion, for today's college is not in the business of creating robots who I have no thoughts of their own, who express no new ideas, who are content to spend four or more years wandering aimlessly around ivy-covered campuses.

The college scene is changing in other respects. The most recent bugaboo, according to many self-styled experts, is the university's increasing emphasis upon research which, according to these same critics, can only come at the expense of good teaching. They no doubt overlook the fact that the college or university has an inescapable obligation not only to disseminate knowledge, but to create knowledge as well.

And finally we find a new trend that is placing less and lless emphasis upoP. teaching students how to make a. living and more and more emphasis upon teaching students about life itself.

And there is one other changing aspect of higher ~ducation today that I am sure will substantially influence the modern fraternity. I am confident that within a relatively few years, within your lifetime and mine, the average student will be attending school until he is at least 25 years of age, perhaps even longer. The bachelor's degree will be but a way station along the long and arduous path to a meaningful education.

For more and more students in the future, graduate education will become an absolute must. Thus, not only will more students be attending college, they will be staying longer, and not because of academic deficiencies.

They will be staying longer because in these unusual times of change, there is so much more to learn. And there is so much more that MUST be learned.

And each of these changing aspects of college life today presents new opportunities for the contemporary fraternity that embraces worth while objectives and lofty

In light of these changes, the modem fraternity-and I am speaking of the really worth while fraternity-can stand as a vital, stabilizing force in campus life, providing student leadership amid upheavals of tradition and the status quo. The effective fraternities will do so. Those of lesser purpose and resolve will fail to do so and therefore will fall by the wayside. Eventually, they will become more vestigial appendages, living and breathing, perhaps, but serving no constructive purpose. And the fraternity that serves no constructive purpose will not survive the changing years ahead.

It is clear to me that today's fraternity can look forward to a brighter future than ever before. I am confident this is true, with one important qualification. It can do so if it is willing and able to prove its worth. And, in light of the changing nature of coliege life today, this means that old objectives and achievements must give way to new ambitions, new responsibilities, new goals of serv1ce.

During the 190 years of its existence in America, the fraternity system has proved its mettle time and time again. Through the years, Greek-letter organizations have demonstrated that they possess a unique and valuable potential, if that potential is developed and used to best advantage.

For many thousands of Greeks who have preceded you, the fraternity has been an important catalyst of personal development, rich in tradition, purpose and service. The modem fraternity would lose sight of these traditions at its own peril.

Today's fraternity must re-establish itself first and foremost as an instrument of intellectual attainment. To place the necessary emphasis upon intellectual pursuits demands that the social function be subordinate to academic purpose. If it is to maintain its place on campus, the modern fraternity must reclaim its position as a center of intellectual endeavor, one that exudes an atmosphere of creativity for serious, studious, maturing young adults who share lofty goals and interests.

his world -famous colleague and remarked: " That man has uncanny luck. And the funny thing about it, the harder he works, the luckier he gets."

So I can assure you that the harder you work to strengthen your fraternal system, the "luckier" your chapter will be, and the more secure its future will be.

A famous American once said that the purpose of education is to develop the capacities of individuals, first as human beings, second as citizens, and finally as competent workers-in that order. Any organization that can make a contribution in these areas is a valuable asset to any campus. A fraternity that can help a student to learn to think for himself, to formulate an independent judgment and to take his place as a knowledgeable, responsible citizen, has earned its right to exist.

The message for the fraternity system is clear: If the organization has merit and can demonstrate that merit, then it will live and grow. On the other hand, if it cannot prove its worth, it eventually must wither and die and be forgotten.

In the final analysis, the gauntlet has been dropped a t the feet of the entire fraternity system. If your fraternity expects a place on the campus of tomorrow, it must earn anew its place in the academic community. It must prove once again, beyond question, its right to exist. And the question is whether you, as 20th century Greeks, will accept this challenge in the spirit of the Greeks of old, and wh ether you can disprove the growing indictments made upon this system which for almost two centuries has made its mark upon American higher education.

If you can rise to the occasion, if you can prove that fraternities represent an integral part of the learning process, you will be performing a vital service, not only to yourselves but your institutions as well.

I am confident that fraternities can continue to exert a constructive, productive influence upon our institutions of learning. Whether in reality Acacia meets the test depends entirely upon you. Brothers, I am sure Acacia will meet the test. Thank you so much.

As one observer has so appropriately put it: "The a tmosphere of the contemporary frat. house should be identified by the scent of books and knowledge and ideas not by the odor of spirits." In short, the handwriting is on the wall of every chapter house: "Either produce or turn in your charter."

And if the fraternity is to maintain its existence during these times of academic revolution, it must address itself four-square to the purposes of its present institution.

This modern revolution, with its growing enrollments and its uncompromising emphasis upon things educational, will signal the end of any organization that cannot meet these responsibilities.

The overriding responsibility of the university, of course, is to educate, as broadly as practical and as well as possible. Any activity that tends to defeat rather than to enhance this mission of an institution of learning cannot long endure.

If I were asked for a capsule summary of the criteria which the modern fraternity must meet, I might suggest several guidelines. I think a fraternity must-not should, but must-teach its members several important facts of life. I ncluded among them are these: To distinguish between that which is important and that which is trivial ; to recognize the difference between mere change and real growth; to discover that there is a difference between simple pleasure and true happiness ; to teach the difference between good grades and scholarship, the difference between defeat and compromise, and the difference between an engraved sheepskin and meaningful education.

A fraternity that can actively supplement the efforts of the University in these respects has and will continue to have a definite place on the modern campus.

You know, it is no mere accident that some fraternities enjoy the respect and esteem of an institution while others do not. It is no accident that some Greek-letter organizations are more highly regarded than others. I am reminded of the story about a scientist who pointed to

ACACIA Educational Foundation Established Wroe Owens: As the newly elected President of the Acacia Educational Foundation, Brother Owens' legal and business experience will be of great bene fit to the Foundation . Since receiving his Law Degree from the Univ ersih• of Texas in 1938, Owens has served as~ Special Agent for the F.B.I., maintained a very successful law practice in Austin, and has been associated with many diversified businesses (including real estate, manufacturing, financing, and construction) . Besides his fraternal ties with Acacia, Brother Owens is a member of Ben Hur Shrine (R.O.f.) and is a 32nd degree Mason.

f. B. Beaird: As the newly elected member of Governing Board of the Foundation, f. B. Beaird rep resents the Na¡tional scope of the organization. Besides his professional legal experience (he practices law in Oklahoma City), Brother Beaird's vast knowledge of fraternity legal matters will be a tremendous asset to the Foundation . This experience includes serving as a m ember of the N ationa/ jurisprudence committee for six years and most recently as National fudge Advocate. H e is a 32nd degree Mas on in both S cottish and Y ark rites and is a Shriner as well. For his continuing service in Acacia, Brother Beaird has received both the Order of Pythago ras and Award of Me rit.

An H i storic E v ent For Ou r F r a te rn ity

An historic meeting was held on October 29th at the Texas Chapter of Acacia Fraternity. In attendance 1 were Undergraduate and Alumni members of the Texas Chapter, National Judge Advocate J. B. Beaird, ' Province Governor Oliver Bruck, Acting Executive Secretary Harvey Logan, and Field Secretary Barry Lyerly.

For several years the Texas Chapter has successfully employed its own Educational Foundation. At this meeting the Corporation unanimously voted to allow all Acacians to benefit from it. Consequently, the name of the Corporation was changed from the Acacia Educational Foundation of Texas, Inc., to the Acacia Educational Foundation, Inc. In addition, National Judge Advocate J. B. Beaird will now sit on the Governing Board.

The purpose of the Foundation is to provide a tax deductible ve hicle whereby alumni of Acacia may con-

tribute funds for the maintenance of scholarships.

These scholarships shall be allocated to Acacia Chapters as monies from their respective alumni are received.

For example, funds contributed by an alumnus of the Washington Chapter will be used to provide scholarships for Undergraduate Acacians at Washington.

More complete information on how this Foundation can be utilized will be sent to all Acacians during the first months of 1967 . Nevertheless, the Foundation is now legally and structurally able to handle any national business: therefore, Acacians throughout the Land are urged to support the Foundation immedia 1 cly.

EMPHASIS:

1966 Conclave CONCLAVE CAPSULE

From August 21-26 Acacia held its 34th Biennial Conclave in New Orleans, Louisiana. The unique city of New Orleans provided an entertaining setting for this year's Conclave. We were most fortunate in having the LSU Chapter as Conclave host-their warm hospitality and untiring efforts helped make this a great Conclave.

In addition, the Jung Hotel proved to be an ideal location, in terms of both service and accommodations.

The overall spirit of the Conclave seemed to be one of national unity and understanding. An exceptional interchange of ideas took place, and many new friendships formed. The spirit of a national Fraternity permeated the entire event. Several factors enhanced this mood: the efforts of the National Council to meet with as many individuals and Chapters as possible; the presence of Founder Charles A. Sink and wife of Founder George A. Malcolm to remind US, of our common heritage; the unfortunate absence of Brother Roy C . Clark impressing upon us the need for cooperation and unity during a time of change; the inspired leadership of President George F. Patterson, Jr. and Acting Executive Secretary Harvey L. Logan; and, finally, the intelligent ideas contributed by the delegates and guests. These are but a few of the factors which produced a successful Conclave -perhaps the main factor, however, was the Spirit of Brotherhood felt by all. For more complete details of the Conclave, the TRIAD presents below a chronological and pictorial resume of the major events of the 1966 Conclave . . .

CONCLAVE REVIEW

Monday The formal opening of the Conclave took place with President George F. Patterson, Jr., presiding. This session included the TRIAD report, Executive Secretary report, and President's report. President Patterson announced in his report the selection of Barry J. Lyerly as TRIAD Editor, Harvey L. Logan as Acting Executive Secretary, and Roy C. Clark as Executive Secretary Emeritus. A boat trip (which included a fried chicken dinner ) on a paddle wheeler through the harbor area of New Orleans rounded-out the day's activities.

Sunday A formal reception was held in the evening with the Sinks, Council, and Staff in the reception line. This occasion allowed the delegates and guests their first opportunity to meet each other and also become better acquainted with the National organization. The chance to meet Acacia's only living Founder, Charles A. Sink, was the highlight of the reception.

Wednesday On the fourth day of Conclave Awards were presented at the luncheon by President Patterson and Treasurer Knapp (see "Awards" section below). During the first Business session in the afternoon, legislation was brought on the floor to make formal provisions for Province Governors. Such legislation was passed unanimously.

After dinner, the delegates re-convened for a ritual discussion led by Judge Lenton C. Sartain, past National Judge Advocate.

Tu esda)' In the morning, workshops for Province Governors, Advisers, and Secretaries was held. In the afternoon, workshops co~ering various aspects of fraternity operations took place. In addition, an Entertainment luncheon was also scheduled. Charles Sink presented a very interesting talk about the original Founders. At the conclusion of the luncheon, the Alabama Chapter presented a portrait of Brother Sink which will hang in the National Headquarters. After dinner committee meetings were held. Each delegate was appointed by the National President to ser:ve on .a committee. In this way, all representatives shared in the charting of the course for the Fraternity in the coming biennium.

Thursday At the business session, the Budget committee presented their budget for Conclave approval. Although only a 25c increase was requested by the committee, a motion from the floor to raise the per capita dues by 50¢ (effective February 1, 1966) was carried, following considerable discussion. It was also moved, seconded, and passed that a financial statement be circularized to the Chapter Advisers showing the assets and liabilities of the National Fraternity at the close of each fiscal year.

At the conclusion of all business, formal closing proceeded and the 34th biennial Conclave of Acacia Fraternity was adjourned. That evening, the main banquet was held. The final Chapter and individual awards were presented as well as an address by Dr. John Hunter, President of Louisiana State University (see "Awards" and "Point of View" sections) .

CONCLAVE

AWARDS

Award of Merit This is the highest and most coveted award given by Acacia. It is designed especially to give recognition to those Acacians who have rendered outstanding service to the Fraternity, or to those who have attained high position in their chosen field. Awards are made biennially at each Conclave, to those selected by the award committee, the membership of which is secret. No more than 10 awards are given in any biennium. This year's class was: Darrel Metcalfe William Hockenberry Chris Gabriel Henry Stevens .J. B. Beaird

Founder's Achievem ent Award Commonly referred to as the "Malcolm Award," this award was given to the Fraternity by Founder George A. Malcolm with the instruction that it was to be conferred to a Chapter by the National Council at the Biennial Conclave on the basis of that Chapter's maintenance of the Fraternity's Scholarship-ActivitiesOperation-and Traditions. The Awardee Chapter is selected by the secret award committee biennially. This year's awardee was the Purdue Chapter.

Order of P'y thagoras Designed to recognize outstanding service to the Fraternity in areas not present in the Award of Merit (usually given only to alumni ) , the Order of Pythagoras can go to actives as well . Awards are made annually to individuals at Founder's Day Banquets and other important chapter functions. These awards are also selected by the secret awards committee from nominations submitted by both chapters and alumni. Pictured below are the Order of Pythagoras winners that were in attendance at the Conclave and also the newest recipients.

TRIAD ESSAY the need for the "CULTURED MAN" In the Preamble of our Constitution we state that one of our purposes, as a fraternity, is "to prepare ourselves as educated men to take a more active part and to have a greater influence in the affairs of the community in which we may reside." In order to , accomplish that end we must decide what constitutes an "educated man" and recognize the implications this will have for our ability to successfully cope with the .affairs of the community.

This, in turn, will determine the type of education we ought to encourage in our Active Chapters-so that we will be prepared to influence community affairs after college graduation.

One attribute of an educated man is his ability to "sell himself" in varied social settings. This fact is even more true today than in the past; our country is now more mobile and "smaller" as a result of transportation and communications progress. Most of our college graduates will be required to travel a great deal if they are engaged in business occupations, and this is becoming common in many other endeavors ,as well. Consequently, the "community" in which our college graduates will work, if not formally "reside," will most likely include most of this countryand in some cases other parts of the world. The variety and scope of social settings has markedly increased, therefore.

What, if anything, .are we doing to train our undergraduates for this contingency? Are we educating the young Acacian to recognize the need to become a "gentleman and man of culture? " Unfortunately, in many cases, we are not. To do so, we need to recognize the advantages of providing v.aried social and cultural settings. This would necessitate formulating a social calendar for the Chapter that would include both formal and informal affairs (e.g., both a casual after-the-game dance and a quiet coat and tie Spring formal ) . It implies the n eed to encourage an appreciation for both the Beattles and Beethoven. It implies, as a minimum, the positive consequences of proper social and dinner etiquette.

The question remains: can we create the desire to establish such a social milieu in our Chapters? Today the cry is too often heard: " Its too much trouble !" Its too much trouble to dress in coat and tie; its too much trouble to organize and decorate for a formal banquet; its too much trouble to learn proper table etiquette.

Nevertheless, it seems clear that we must make the effort and take the time if we .are going to become educa ted and cultured gentlemen and Acacians.

Double Life for Editor Lyerly TRIAD's own editor Barry Lyerly now is serving double duty as both editor and Acacia field secretary. Barry's new found mobility as part of the economy class "jet set" should do a lot to broaden TRIAD's coverage and contact with local chapters.

Some of the burden of putting out

Kansas-Missouri Alumni Groups Organize Through the efforts of Province Governor Bob Miller, several Brothers have been contacted m the Kansas-Missouri areas; specifically they are located in Topeka, Wichita, and Greater St. Louis. There is in existence now, and has been for quite some time, the Kansas City Alumni Association. The creation of these new areas is natural because of the distance involved between them and Kansas City. As all are aware, one of the stalwart supports of any organization is its alumni.

Acacia has but touched the surface in Alumni organizations and potential contributions that

the national magazine is now being shared by the newly created TRIAD staff post of assistant editor to which Jerry Sparkman (Colorado '63) was recently appointed. Barry is not the first editor to also handle the field secretary job: Phil Cramer, TRIAD's most recent ex-editor, lead the double life as well.

For his job as a full time national staff member, Barry had to leave the good life of editor-graduate student (San Diego State College) in his home town, the resort city of La Jolla, California. It was at the beautiful campus of the University of Colorado that he had done his undergraduate study in the college of arts and sciences, emerging with a B.A. and a major in political science in 1964. At Colorado Barry became an Acacian. As one of the most active, and certainly the most liked, member of the Colorado chapter, Barry became something close to a legend for his wit and for his wisdom.

Fourth Year of Scholarship for C.S.C For the fourth year out of five Acacia at Colorado State College has taken top scholastic honors among C.S.C. Greeks. The award has only been in existence for five years and Acacia is only one year away from the five wins needed to retire the trophy on a permanent basis. The house grade point average this year was a 3.63 (On a 5.0= A scale), well over the 3.42 all mens average. The trophy has a place on C.S.C.'s Acacia wood table and is getting to look like part of the house decor-another year should make it a permanent fixture.

Alumni Association Organizing in Long Beach Area Acacians from Long Beach State, U.S.C., plus a sprinkling of other chapters' alumni have organized recently in the Long Beach area. The new alumni group is planning its first social get-together by attending the California State College¡ at Long Beach annual Black and Gold Ball. This annual Acacia event is to be held at the new International Towers Hotel in Long Beach on December I0. Interested alumni of any Acacia chapter may find out more about the new organization by contacting Joe Reed, 610 I Ludlow, Garden Grove, Cailfornia.

Carmichael Named Chemist President

New House (On Sorority Row) For U.C.L.A.

Dr. Emmett B. Carmichael, a Colorado Acacian ( 1918) and now Assistant Dean of the University of Alabama Medical College and School of Dentistry, has been selected as president of the American Institute of Chemists.

The presidency of AIC is just one on a long list of honors earned by Dr. Carmichael during his career. His extensive research into a variety of subjects associated with the health sciences has made him an outstanding man in that field.

Carmichael was presented the 1966 Gorgas Award (named for General William C. Gorgas, significant in American history for his work against yellow fever in Panama) as the outstanding Alabaman contributing to the health sciences who does not hold the M.D. degree (Carmichael has a Ph.D. in biochemistry.)

Carmichael also received a 1966 Citation from the University of Alabama. He is also the author of over a hundred articles published in professional journals.

Long the envy of other houses on the UCLA campus, the Acacians there have moved away from their house on the end of Westwood's Sorority Row. Where did they move to?

Right into the middle of Sorority Row. Leaving their old house at 916 Hilgard (now rented as a boarding house until disposed of) the UCLA Acacians have moved up the hill two blocks to 720 Hilgard. The new house is conveniently nestled between the Alpha Phi and Sigma Kappa sororities and across the street from Hershey Hall, a six hundred girl dormatory.

Aside from the advantages already alluded to, the new UCLA house is a decided improvement in comfort and utility over the old house. Large, comfortable rooms will house about 48 men.

The public areas of the house are also much better. Two separated living rooms and a T.V. room as well as a large

Special credit must go to the UCLA house corporation which did virtually all of the organization and financial work needed to acquire the new house. R. Glenn Woods, house corporation president, Glenn Levering and Warren Barcalow deserve much praise for their work in behalf of Acacia at UCLA. UCLA Acacians hope many "old" alums will make it a special point to stop for a visit to see their splendid new home.

performances by such entertainers as Glen Yarbrough and Ethel Ennis.

Bob Nelson and Tom Curry, a junior and sophomore from the Seattle area, occupy two the ASWSU election board's nine seats. The board supervises all of the student body elections at WSU. Acacian Bud Anderson was boa rd chairman until his graduation last yea r.

All three men are active in their chapter. Dave is chapter secretary, Bob treasurer and Tom handled the fall rush program.

The Rescue "Human Service" at the Kansas Chapter had an unusual "call to duty" following the September 17, 1966, KU-Texas Tech game.

Before the game-as is KU custom due to limited football pa rking-visitors crowded their ca rs onto grass pa rkways surrounding streets in the KU Memorial Stadium area. For 20 cars parked in a grassy area near the Acacia House, Lawrence, Kansas, police had different ideas.

Shortly after game time-

Week festivities.

The BU Acacians won first place in the Small Group with five brothers, and first in the Large Group, with 30 brothers. The evenings triumphs were not over yet. "The Black and Go!d" men brought back to the Chapter House one more prize, the "Best Overall Award, Greek Sing, 1966."

Cheers were loud and long that night, as three more trophies were put on display. Special recognition goes to Frank Hirsch for his work in preparing the brothers for this event.

He served a three-year term on the editorial board of the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, the official publication of the Society. In 1958 he was named a Fellow of the Society, the highest honor conferred on members of the professional organization.

Mr. Mendell is an alumnus of the Iowa State Chapter of Acacia Fraternity, having been initiated on March 2, 1924. He presently holds a position on the Iowa State Board of Acacians.

without warning-police ticketed and summoned tow vehicles to remove cars parked in just one area near Acacia.

After the game the involved spectators were confounded by the police action in an area that appeared not to be marked against such random football parking.

Members of the Kansas Chapter used the opportunity to g ive eight carloads of stranded people transportation to police headquarters to "claim" their cars.

This simple kindness made friends for Acacia with all that were helped.

Acacia Marathon Gal·ns Accla.·m A tumult arose last Spring at the Oregon State chapter, when news was received that a new distance record was set during the 2nd Annual Acacia Marathon.

The distance of 27 miles was covered in 3 hours, 4 minutes, and 21 seconds, by a spirited team of eight brothers, running the last leg through the snow. The event was carried by local papers, and a running account was carried by several radio stations. Plans are now being made for next years marathon, including the possibility of Fraternity-Sorority teams. Perhaps you, too, can have an Acacia Marathon!!!

National Perspective

By HARVEY L. LOGAN, ACTING EXECUTIVE SECRETARY

Since the last issue of The TRIAD was published, Acacia held its 34th Biennial Conclave in New Orleans, Louisiana. A major portion of this TRIAD is devoted to the Conclave; therefore, my comments will be brief.

It is our belief that all in attendance had an enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

We are sincerely indebted to those Brothers who helped make the Conclave the success that it was; and, more especially, we are indebted to the LSU Chapter for its outstanding job as the Conclave host.

* * * * * * In September Acacia was fortunate in having Huck Stientj es join our staff. Huck is from the Iowa State Chapter and will be working as a Resident Field Secretary with our Colony at the University of Tennessee. Through the efforts of Huck and other interested Acacians we are in hopes that the Colony can be chartered sometime. this year. Huck came to us very highly recommended, and we are extremely happy to welcome him to the staff. '~

* * * * *

Acacia has operated in the past without the existence of a Foundation. At the present time plans are underway that will enable us to join with the Texas Foundation, thus !creating a tax deductible vehicle for Acacia Fraternity. National President !Patterson, National Judge Advocate and I will be attending a meeting at the University 1of Texas sometime in October and hope at that time to complete plans. We are also hopeful that at the same time a program can be outlined for the establishment of a Colony at the University of Houston. '~

* * * * *

So far this year Rush seems to be off to a grand start, with most Chapters reporting significant gains in pledging. Some of the results thus far are: LSU, 45; Oregon State, 24; Illinois, 22; Northwestern, 21; California, 18; Arkansas, 18; Cincinnati, '16; and Long Beach, 15. '~

* * * * *

The visitation program for the academic year 1966-1967 is now underway. Acacia ·is again very fortunate to have Field Secretary Bill Fuller on its staff to cover 'Chapters east of the Mississippi. We are all indebted to Bill for outstanding service Ito our Chapters and look forward to a very prosperous and successful year.

In July Barry J. Lyerly joined our staff as a Field Secretary. As you all know, !Barry is also The TRIAD Editor; therefore, he will be serving in a dual capacity this year. In the few months Barry has been with the staff he has proved himself capable, energetic, and willing to serve Acacia.

IWe are very fortunate to have Bill and Barry, as their contributions to the advancement of Acacia have been • • • and continue to be • • • many.

With the passage of an increase in per capita dues at the last Conclave, Acacia ,will be able to add an additional field man to its staff in February. Qualifications 'for the Field Secretary's position are: 1. College graduate 2. Single 3. Deferred, or completed Military service 4. Willing to serve for a minimum of two years Should any of you be interested-or know of someone who might be-Field Secretary applications are available at the National Headquarters and will be sent on request.

•Here is an opportunity to serve your Fraternity, and at the same time broaden your gwn personal development and scope of learning.

Dear Barry: The latest issue of the TRIAD is one of the finest that I have ever seen. It is, I believe, well laid out, but more important its articles are interesting and well worth reading. It provides a contact between the National fraternity and the members of the local chapters, that has to some degree been missing in the past. I for one am glad that you have chosen to center the TRIAD around the fraternity rather than other activities. I found Mr. Hutchinson's article particularly interesting.

I hope that you have many successful years with the TRIAD. Sincerely, Jim L ewis Alum, LSU Chapter Mr. Barry J. Lyerly, Editor 7629 Draper La Jolla, California 92037 Dear Brother Lyerly, I am writing in regard to your editorship of the May, 1966, issue of THE TRIAD--you should be complimented!

Being a member of this fine Brotherhood for only two months, I received my "first" TRIAD with much enthusiasm. Far the past year I had been looking forward to the day I would receive my personal copy of THE TRIAD; and the day it came, I sat down and read it from caver to cover -even the Fifty Year members! From some of the "Opinion" letters I gathered THE TRIAD used to be more of a p olitical magazine; but this issue was just what I thought it should be-our Fraternity magazine. But to me, the best part of the entire issue was the Directory. It indeed gave me a great feeling to see Georgia listed in the roll of Chapters instead of a Colony.

Furthermore, the feature article on Purdue was most timely. Since Purdue was the Chapter which installed Georgia, I had a more-than-casual interest in the article--especially since some of the initiating group were pictured. It is my association with the

members of this group that causes me to realize the article failed to mention one fact-the reason behind the outstanding record of Purdue. It is the fact which all of us at Georgia realize - th ey are a great "bunch" of fellows!

Keep up the good work.

Fraternally, Ronnie Hickox Georgia '68 Mr. Barry J. Lyerly P.O. Box 1477 Evanston, Illinois Dear Mr. Lyerly: A word of praise to TRIAD! The article, "The Anti-Image," by Dr. James Hutchinson in the August issue of TRIAD was very timely. His concepts and eventual solution are very worthy of serious thought in local chapters and especially in the National organization of Acacia Fraternity. I am convinced that they came forth from his own concern and involvement with the fraternity. And they do not emit from some misconception of the fraternity system.

In a way, his words are my wordsalthough he stated them much better and more eloquently. I have come to his conclusions from working very closely with the "80 percent" who compose the system at DePauw University for the last 6 years. And it is refreshing and encouraging to know that others have grasped the problem and are making worthwhile and realistic suggestions to correct that problem, instead of regressing to solutions from "thf' dark ages."

I applaud the article and especially your publishing it. I hope that similar article will follow. It is time, for the sake of the fraternity, to seriously think through and act on suggestion~> of the quality of Dr. James Hutchinson's!

Sincerely, Samuel M. Kirk Campus Minister P.S. By the way, I am a member of the Illinois Chapter of Acacia Fraternity.

IS THE IDEA OF AC·ACIA WORTH SPREADING? We think so, how about you? Acacia's expansion to new colleges and universities depends heavily upon the support of alumni. Last year four chapters were added to the rolls of Acacia--California State College at San Jose, University of Alabama, University of Georgia, and Shippensburg State College, Pa. Our fraternity's reputation for its traditionally mature approach to fraternal living has opened invitations to expand to other educational institu-

tions. The fact is, the opportunities far exceed our resources; many possibilities cannot even be investigated. Personal help from alumni in boasting our expansion is not always convenient or possible, but every Acacian can assist through his support of Acacia's alumni dues program.

The annual voluntary assessment of $7.50 by Acacia alums has been the main resource of the expansion program. The Acacia idea is worth spreading. Why not spread it?

Acacia Fraternity Headquarters P.O. Box 1477 Evanston, Illinois 60204 (Note: All members since July, 1942, pay as part of their initiation fee into a subscription fund that entitles them to a life subscription to the TRIAD. Acacians initiated prior to this date m:1y receive the TRIAD for one year with payment of the $7.50 alumni dues. Payment of $50.00 for a Life Membership entitles them to a life subscription to the TRIAD.)

SONGS THE BROTHERS SING

The most recent edition of the Acacia song book, ACACIA SINGS, is available from the national office. A complete set of the tr.aditional songs of Acacia is a must for every chapter. An ideal g•ft to the chapter .... a collectors item for alumni.
