EDITOR'S NOTE: This issue of THE TRIAD is featuring Iowa State. Something new will be tried with this presentation. Each segment of chapter activity will be discussed by a different individual-usually the officer responsible for that segment. We hope that this method results in interesting reading about this Malcolm Award-winning chapter.

THE TRIAD

nn v •• IOWA STATE: Malcolm Award Winning Chapter

With thirty-three other fraternities at Iowa State, rush is very compe tive. Despite this fact the Acacia Chapter had a very successful With out sacrificing quality for quantity, we pledged the largest group men in the history of the Iowa State Chapter.

A good deal of this success was due to our summer rush program. summer rush program consisted of three parts; 1 ) the brothers rushing in certain areas. Each brother was given an area consisting of hometown and the town within a certain radius of his hometown. If brother was working somewhere other than his hometown, he was · an area around and including the town in which he was working. 2) summer rush chairman. He covered all parts of the state where brothers lived or worked. He visited rushees and if the rushees could be contacted, he mailed them a rush book to make sure they "'""''"""""n some information. 3) Rush Parties. These were held at areas of both brothers and rushees. We attempted to bring our rushees to these. They consisted of water-skiing, touch football, and basketball.

The main purpose of our summer rush was to limit the number rushees coming through the house during formal rush. The ones who come through we hoped to know well and be able to concentrate a on each man. The men we rush must rank in the first or second decile their school class.

Our fall rush program was geared with the IFC rush. We did not a large number of boys through rush thanks to our summer program. enabled us to really put a good rush on the boys we had visiting our house We assigned a brother to each rushee. It was the brother's responsibility stay with the rushee. He picked the rushee up after meetings, took him and picked him up from formal rush dates at other fraternities and with him as much as possible.

Our efforts were well rewarded. We bid only 32 men during rush week, but 19 of these men pledged. We were pleased with our rush program this year and are looking forward to similar success in the future. We hope to achieve this by stressing our progressive pledge program and high scholarship.

Rush is kept as informal as possible to exemplify our year round house spirit. The idea of being able to maintain scholarship while also being a participant in a pledge program appeals to the uncertain, incoming college freshman. We make it known to the freshman that "The end of rush week, marks the beginning of strong, fraternal friendships."

At Iowa State Acacia scholarship has always been a well-honored tradiion. Acacia has consistently ranked among the top three residences on :ampus in scholarship in the past five years. Last year Acacia ranked among :he top three residences every quarter, chapter attained the rank of third ;pring quarter out of 34 fraternities and approximately 80 other men's ~esidences with an all house average of 2.94 and a pledge average of 2.91 m a 4.00 scale.

But scholarship in more than gradepoints; it is an attitude and we try :o pledge men who will be serious about the purpose of the university and .tbout attaining an education. We rush chiefly first and second decile men; .hose who will be able to be successful scholastically and still have time to :ontribute to other areas of the chapter.

Our study program during pledgeship is very different from that of nany other fraternities. We have no library tables nor do we require . ledges to study at particular times. We do have a quiet hour policy which is followed by all members of the chapter, and most of the men stay in their rooms at the house. We maintain a comprehensive test file and if we find a pledge is having problems with certain courses, we have an 1ctive well acquainted with the area of study help him.

Our liberal pledge education program gives the pledge more time to ;pend on his studies because meaningless tasks have been eliminated. Thus . ledges usually are able to start their academic careers with great success nd after they are activated they have been installed with a sense of pride and usually work to maintain their scholarship.

There is no particular pressure put on individuals in the house to make Dutstanding grades. We have found that a favorable attitude toward edu.:ation and respect for each individual in the house by his brothers will . rovide the best atmosphere for good scholarship.

The ISU chapter of Acacia has been traditionally known for campus .eadership in a wide range of activities and the present chapter is coninuing to uphold that tradition. Each year finds Acacians holding leader;hip and supporting positions in a number of campus activities.

SCHOLARSHIP

By Bill Wolford Past Senior Dean

Leadership begins early for an Acacian and during the past three years m Acacian has been elected once to the presidency of the Interfraternity Pledge Council and also the presidency of the Freshmen Educational }overnment. In addition a number of pledges have been senators to FEG. [FC leadership has continued at the upperclass level too with the past three rears showing Acacians as IFC vice-president and three brothers as memers of the Administrative Board. One of these brothers served concur¡ently as chairman of both the IFC and the University Human Relations

Each spring finds a flurry of activity with widespread Acacia participaion. Last spring one brother was on Greek Week Central Committee.

E:ach year during May, the university opens its doors for a four-day openhouse known as Veishea. Operating on a $40,000 budget per year, Veishea is ranked as the world's largest student-managed festival and is :iirected by a Central Committee of 20 people with about 250- sub-comnittee members.

Acacia's participation has been high at all ranks in Veishea. The past :hree years have found two, three and two members on Central Commit:ee respectively. This is consistently more than any house on campus and ~made more significant by the fact that one of the co-chairmen has been m Acacian in two of the last three years.

THE TRIAD

Acacians have held the presidency of Science Council, the stude advisory body for one of the five colleges at Iowa State, for the p three years and five brothers have served as members of that body. Als along the academic line, Acacia's College Bowl team has won the a university championship and finished in second place in the past two yea All this participation has not gone unrecognized. Acacians have be selected for membership in nearly every major honorary on campus. six junior men tapped for membership last spring into Cardinal Key, t highest mens' honorary at Iowa State, two were Acacians. One of th ~ brothers was tapped as president of Cardinal Key for the coming ye marking the second time Acacia has claimed the presidency in three year Five Acacians have been tapped during that period.

Other presidencies and memberships during the last three years i elude: Gamma Gamma, Greek honorary-president and three member Lampos-Sciences and humanities honorary-president and two me hers; Alpha Zeta, agriculture honorary; Knights of St. Patrick, enginee ing honorary; and a host of other activities and departmental honoraries.

Acacia's diversity extends beyond the activities outlined above. Durin each football game you will find four Acacians marching in the ISU ban This musical representation is rounded out by participation by two brothe in the Iowa State Singers, the touring choir at ISU and membership ¡ several other choral activities including the musicals such as "Camelot and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" presented each spring during Veish To round out the busy picture of activities at Iowa State, Acacians c be found in activities ranging from counselling an underprivileged neigH borhood youth as part of the YMCA Pal Project to the ISU hockey te or parachute-jumping club. All these activities provide a stimulating at mosphere at Acacia and keep the chapter's tradition of leadership movin8 forward.

Acacia at Iowa State takes a back seat to no one in their intramura and atheletic program. Terry Thoem, senior, has been a mainstay of th golf team for three years. Senior Terry Cline has been a member of th track and cross-country teams for three years and Dave Wilcox, a sopho more, is a regular competitor on Iowa State's nationally ranked gymnas¡ tics team.

The pledges are continuing the tradition of Acacians in athletics. Ken Vollmuth and Steve Huddleson are members of the freshman basketball team while Denny Cline, Jim Jenson and Jim Boehmler are members of the freshman golf team. Tom Godwin is on the freshman track team.

The Acacians compete in all phases of the intramural program at Iowa State. This fall, the Chapter fielded two football teams, one composed of actives and one of pledges. The actives piled up wins in preliminary and tournament play before being eliminated in the Class A quarterfinals. The pledges were also undefeated in preliminary play but were eliminated in the first round of Clas A. Two volleyball teams also participated, an active and a pledge team.

T~e teams were placed in opposite brackets in tournament play and both gamed the final round to make an "All-Acacia" championship game. The actives won to give Acacia an one-two finish.

Basketball i the most popular sport at Iowa State Acacia. The hou e has sent a team to each of the Acacia Midwest Tournaments of the last two years. This winter the Chapter has fielded three teams, two active and one pledge. The season is now in progre s and all teams are doing well.

Acacians also participate in other sports throughout the year. Competi-

m is held in wrestling, softball, handball, golf, bowling and billiards as ell as numerous minor sports. Almost everyone in the house participates at least one sport. The pledge class contains very good athletes so the >od record of Acacia in varsity and intramural sports should continue in .e future.

The social program at our chapter of Acacia has throughout the years .ade definite changes. In the past three to four years, a renovation has :en taking place, primarily to give the well-established scholastic fra:rnity more social image on campus. Without sacrificing our scholastic anding, I feel that this has been done in a number of ways. The most :~.sic way was to commit the chapter to the social activities that it felt ¡ere the most important. We have met this with a core of annual activies which the brothers felt were essential for an effective social year. Our re consists of three quarterly house parties a year plus the combined fort of the brothers with a sorority on a Veishea float. With these events, 'e have expanded and tried to make them more unusual and exciting for e brothers and his dates.

Our Black and Gold Formal in the spring has always been one of the ighlights of the social year. For this occasion, it has been a tradition to ~lect an "Acacia Sweetheart." This for the most part is not the type of Neetheart that most fraternities select, but a young handicapped girl rho is selected by our local Shriners. A tradition like this we feel is un.sual, but we always hope to carry it on as a rewarding and beneficial xpenence.

Expansion of ideas has played an important part in our social program.

Ve feel that by adding variety to social activities they will be remembered s enjoyable house functions. For example, at Iowa State a trend has been ::lrming in combining house parties with various fraternities or sororities. ,his is done to bring not only our Greek system closer together but to bring .bout closer friendships with members from other houses by working closely ogether. Here at Iowa State Acacia, we have hopes of making this type of unction an annual event.

Along these same lines of expansion of ideas, we have tried something tew. In searching for an idea for our last fall house party, we came up with omething that has the makings of a great Acacia tradition. For the first ime, Iowa State Acacians, with the help of the Arizona Chapter, put on L White Wabbit party. During this very successful event, we initiated 34 roung ISU co-eds into the "Secret Order of White Wabbits" using the itual written by the brothers of the Arizona Chapter. This type party is :omething out of the ordinary and yet it is great fun.

In our program, the past Junior Deans and I have tried to use all of the :~tra social functions that our budget and university schedule could take.

We feel that our extra social activities many times are the most important ~s pects of a well-rounded social program. To fill out our program, .we 1ave incorporated serenades, hayrides, all-house exchanges and part1~s. n our last Spring quarter ISU Acacia had more band house parties than any house on campus. (It helps to have the makings of a good ::>and in your house.) Some of these were exchanges with sororities while he others were open house parties. In connection with building our Veishea float with Alpha Delta Pi sorority, we had numerous desert ex:hanges, serenades and the like to get to know our co-builders. These are the types of activities that add the polish to a social program.

There is one major problem with every social program. This problem is basically to get everyone "fired up" to get dates. In all actuality, it is

not the active chapter that finds it hard to get dates but the pledges.¡ year with more than one-third of the house in pledge-power, ~e fe would be outstanding if all of them could start out on the nght socially. I have tried to help out by working more closely with the pie social chairman in lining up exchanges with other sorority pledge cl;; and working on other pledge functions such as parties and serenades. doing this, it's our intention to create more interest in social activi while the pledges are still orienting themselves to Acacia.

This basically is the general make up of our social program. We dâ&#x20AC;˘ feel it is, by any means, the best program on campus, but we do feel 1 it is an effective program. The renovation that is taking place will contir

PLEDGE EDUCATION

THE TRIAD

The pledge education program is a most important consideration tc rushee before he decides on the fraternity he wants to pledge. It can eitl make or break a pledge who is unstable and not accustomed to colle academics as many pledges are.

The Iowa State Chapter stresses to the rushee that its pledges keep th individualism, are informed of their progress by pledge dad and pled son talks and are given every opportunity to make good in their scholas endeavors. Exactly what is required of pledges is explained to them so th they will know how much time will have to be alloted to pledgeship.

The quiet hours policy is also explained to them. It is the same for 2 tives and pledges except that during that time period the pledge must in his room. One of the newest innovations is to have the pledges a1 actives indicate what courses they are having trouble with. Those who fe that they can give help in a particular course are matched with tho having trouble and study sessions set up.

One important phase of pledge education is building pledge class unit At the middle of the fall quarter, the Chapter had 29 pledges, comi from formal rush, holdovers and informal rush. There are many pro lems involved in unifying this many pledges into a functional "tight-kni group. However, the pledge class this year has seemed to unify much mo than smaller classes in the past.

The first reason for their unity is that we pledged those whom it w thought had similar personalities and ideals which was complimented a good summer rush program. Half of the work was done by the end rush week. The next step taken is to organize functions that will get all the pledges together. Fall quarter started with impromptu active vs. pled touch football games, and throughout the quarter there were seven pled exchanges with sororities.

As Senior Dean, I encourage anything that will boost their unity. O example of this is in supervising their pledge meetings. The pledge mee ings are very informal. Throughout the meeting there are several deafe ing yells of "Fire-up." The pledge meetings take more time than th should but the pledges en joy them and get a better feeling of participatiO and unity because of this.

MPHASIS lOWA STATE: Campus Relations

By Stephen M. Murphy, Iowa State Venerable Dean

The duties of the Venerable Dean are at most very vague. In contrast to the Senior Dean, who "shapes up" the pledges; the Junior Dean, who formulates the bulk of the program; and the other officers, the bulk of the duties of the Venerable Dean are simply not outlined. Those that ate outlined, conducting chapter meetings and supervising the other officers, are certainly not representative o.f the position. There are a number of other responsibilities that come with ~he job. I choose to lump them under a broad category called "Relations."

By relations, I refer to both external relations and internal relations, or more specifically, representing the chapter on campus and trying to build house 'ty and spirit.

The Iowa State Chapter has enjoyed a flourish of campus leaders in the past few years. This has, of !?OUrse, had a tremendous beneficial effect in displaying the chapter on campus, and it might seem in of this, that the task of the Venerable Dean in promoting external relations has been already ful~-·--··~'-&, but this is not necessarily so. The Venerable Dean represents the chapter to a greater extent than !io the campus leaders for the simple reason that ~e is elected by the chapter as one who possesses the !deals and feelings of the majority of the chapter's IDt

et·

~embership.

It would be impossible to lay down a cut and

:n· dried list of rules to be followed for the purpose of

ter chapter representation. Each campus is different and

on

within each campus a variety of situations exist which must be dealt with individually.

On the Iowa State campus, and, I presume, on most others, the president is the fraternity's representative to Interfraternity Council. This provides an excellent opportunity to promote the chapter. In this instance, it is important that the Venerable Dean think problems through and arrive at a definite decision on the matter at hand. With this done it is imperative that he fervently enter into discussion on the matter, therefore, giving not only the fraternity a definite say in the matter, but also the other presidents the knowledge that Acacia is on campus and is interested in promoting the Greek system.

Another thing is to make sure that the numerous forms and questionnaires that filter to the Venerable Dean's desk are answered fully and completely and turned in promptly. This is a little thing, but it is nevertheless important to the relations with the administration, both University and Interfraternity.

What the whole matter of external relations entails is the fact that the Venerable Dean represents the chapter and his personal appearance and social conduct must be governed with this in mind. The Venerable Dean must view matters in · a different light than do the other members of the chapter. He must look to see what the chapter will gain both from his actions and the fraternity's combined actions. He must put aside his own personal feelings and the feelings of the individual members in his decision making.

Moving on to the area of internal relations, we must realize that this is without doubt the most important and most difficult responsibility that the Venerable Dean possesses.

At Iowa State, the problem is magnified by the facts that no fine system exists (with the exception of a fine for not returning for clean-up week and rush week) and that the membership is scattered throughout five different locations.

Ideally, there should be no need to fire men up to work for the fraternity. The brothers by the time they are initiated should have enough desire to help the fraternity, to "fire up" on their own. At times, however, this fire is lacking or there is some job that they would rather do. It is therefore the duty FEBRUARY, 1968

7

of the Venerable Dean to supply this fire or to see that these men realize the job can't be done witho'ut them. This is where the going gets rough. How should this be done? Since each individual has different likes and dislikes, thinks differently, and acts differently, the best approach is to talk with each of the brothers individually. In doing this, it is possible to touch upon that point which would most influence him. But, this does not always work. Sometimes it is necessary to talk with a group and try to achieve a chain reaction effect where a few really fire up and in turn fire up the rest. When using the group effect it is a good idea to talk individually with a few of the brothers who exert a good deal of influence in the chapter to take the lead in the "chain reaction."

There are times when both of these methods result in failure. This is usually the case when trying to get the chapter to do a service project of a similar job. A service project is not as interesting as a house function. The feeling of enthusiasm is never as great before the project as it is after the project has been completed. It is, therefore, wise to supply some sort of additional interest or incentive to the brothers.

For .instance, we always end up playing touch football after our service project. This usually ends up as pledges against actives. This in itself is an incentive to some people, but when a tradition is set up that the losing team is required to put on a party for the winning team an extra stimulant is present.

No chapter funds should be used for the party, it should come from individual pockets so that everyone has interest in the game or whatever function is planned. Whatever the project is there should be something to supplement the good feeling that one gets from the project itself whether it be some sort of competition or even making it a date function.

No problem exists in creating an interest in a house

function such as house parties. However, it is so times difficult to interest the brothers in preparing the function. This is not as glamorous as the fu tion itself. Unless steps are taken to the contrary pledges will end up with the burden of preparati This is not good from the standpoint that it is all-house effort in prepara.tiou for it. In order realize this goal, the work could be divided into f< distinct areas so that each class could be responsil for one area or into two areas with actives a pledges doing each area. This sense of competiti has the effect of stimulating interest and house uni Sometimes it is necessary for the Venerable De to have a chew session in chapter meeting. 'F should be used as a last resort and it must be point out, that this method of attempting to stimulate < tion should not be overused. When considering tl method, it is apparent that if the Venerable De, alone "chews out" the chapter each week this meth will lose its effectiveness. It is important here th the other executive officers take on a share of f responsibilities for after awhile the brothers becon deaf to the constant harping of one person. Having period of chapter criticism where each brother given the opportunity to air his grips, makes it pos~ ble for someone else to point out problems that exis Since this gives the brothers the knowledge th; something is wrong and not just the imagination 1 the officers, it is a great aid.

In summary, we see that the Venerable Dean h; responsibility in both internal and external relatior ships. The Venerable Dean's reponsibility for pn moting internal relations is ever present and for th most part, the responsibility entails individual cor tact with the chapter membership. In these indivic ual contracts, his policies must be flexible to the indi vidual and the situation. These policies are no formulated for coaxing and coercion but for aids fo positive guidance and leadership of the chapter.

The Aura of Badge and Office

by Delmer Goode

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is by Delmer Goode, Oregon State Chapter Advisor and member of the Minnesota Chapter. It is a sequel to rrFierce Light," also by Delmer Goode and pub~ fished in the February, 1967 issue.

THE TRIAD

Aura is an emanation, a glow, Yom Licht in uns that fierce light that beats upon the wearer of badge or the holder of an office will disturb hi complacency and stimulate him to action. It ma be reflected from the gold, garnets, and pearls o

is badge. But it is an external light. Aura is a entler light, from within, an outward evidence of n inward grace.

Who of us has not seen a rushee transformed on !edging? He stands taller, talks better, has a new ght in his eye, and a new sober modesty withal? rlis pledge pin has produced an aura pleasing tn ehold and evidence of what, throu~h his time of ledgeship, he may become.

We see the outward change and yet cannot now what is within, except as we remember our eelings when we proudly wore a pledge pin. I rerzember vividly still, from long ago when I was eventeen and was bidden to membership in a fra?rnity at my College. (It was not Acacia. I was oo young to be a Mason, then an Acacia requirerzent. It was a remarkable local fraternity. rrThe )wls," still strong now in its sixty-eighth year.) I 'ho had never known a brother was happy in the bought of the brotherhood I would share. While was a pledge I attended the Christmas banquet f the fraternity (a rr date" event) and there heard and still hear in my heart) the favorite fraternity 'ongs, rrBehold How Many Birds There Are" and Then Darkness Hides the World." Remembering 1y joy during those times, I believe, though of ourse I cannot know, I must have had an aura in ~y bearing and in my eye. In later times, as an rtitiate and as an officer, I had new happiness ;ithin me and truly have borne outward evidence f my inner growth and spirit.

Some years later, following my Masonic degrees, wore an Acacia pledge pin. I had longed to be n Acacian. I wore my pledge pin with conscious ~ough sober pride. I still remember being aware ~at my major professor during a conference had oticed my pledge pin and in another conference nowing that my chemistry professor, himself an lcacian, had recognized it.

Every Acacian who has caught the idealism, the oble history, and the code of our fraternity will 1ave similar vivid memories and will realize that vearing the pledge pin and the Acacia badge must ¡~ve induced outward manifestations, showin~ him nore of a gentleman; more of a man.

I remember a young Acacian, taken from relaive obscurity in the chapter, who after a searching /â&#x201A;Źction was chosen as junior Dean. He became a

new man. There was fire in him. He filled his office with distinction. He surprised those who had known him before, perhaps himself also.

In my years as a Chapter Adviser I have seen the aura appear in many another young man, not only after receiving pledge or active badge, but on entering up~n a chapter office, even while candidating for office. The recognition and approval of brothers and the challenge of opportunity and responsibility call forth reserves of potential within the man of which neither he nor others may theretofore have been aware.

The aura may arise in non-Acacian activity also, in campus leadership, in scholarship, in friendship, in finding the girl of one's heart.

Sometimes the aura is long enduring: the man lives on a new plane of inspiration and dedication the rest of his life. His service and widening influence demonstrate not only what he can do for Acacia but also what Acacia is doing for him.

The aura is something live and growing or it is none. The inward grace must be vitally there. That is why we rejoice in the aura; it shows a fulfillment of personal promise and power. Sometimes alas_. the aura fades. If the life within cools or idles, there will be no longer an external glow. Few things are sadder to see. We think of what might have been.

In this experience of the aura there is revealed a deep human truth. Probably no man in our time has better exemplified our Acacia ideal of Human Service than the late Albert Schweitzer, who left a University professorship, a high place as a famous organist and a position as a distinguished author to rrbury" himself in equatorial Africa. There he performed to the end of his days a service in human healing that will never be forgotten. No one better than he understood the power that lies hidden in men, waiting to be awakened by the call of fellow men. just as rr the water of the streams we see is small compared to that which flows under ground," he said, rr so the idealism which becomes visible is small in amount compared with what men and women bear locked in their hearts, unreleased or scarcely released. To unbind what is bound, to bring the underground waters to the surface: mankind is waiting and longing for such as can do that."

National President George F. Patterson, Jr. , presents the Roy C. Clark Outstanding Acacian A w ard to Dick Allen of the R ensselaer Chapter.

RICHARD FRANKLIN ALLEN First Winner, Roy C. Clark Outstanding Acacian Award The 1966 Conclave created a new award. This award was entitled "The Roy C. Clark Outstanding Acacian Award." It was "to be presented annually to that undergraduate Acacian who most nearly exemplifies the outstanding attributes of Brother Clark-perseverance, integrity, foresight, loyalty, devotion, wisdom, and leadership."

The first Roy C. Clark Outstanding Acacian A ward winner has now been selected by the National Council. It was presented to Richard Franklin Allen, a member of the Rensselaer Chapter, at the National Interfraternity Conference meeting held in New York, December, 1967.

Presenting the award to Dick Allen was National President George F. Patterson, Jr. The best way to present the reasons Dick Allen was picked as the first winner of the Roy C. Clark Award is to quote the words used in describing Dick Allen's accomplishment's as a member of the Rensselaer Chapter.

"Dick Allen, Rensselaer 207, was initiated April 21, 1963. Since his initiation in Acacia, Dick has held the following offices: Assistant Rush Chairman, Rush Chairman, Venerable Dean, House Manager, and Pledge Master. Dick's accomplishments are many and to list them would take a great deal of time.

However, there are two that must be mentioned.

10

THE TRIAD

"When Dick took office as Venerable Dean, Acacia at Rensselaer was living in very inadequate housing, housing that was not conducive to rush, morale, or any fraternal experience. It was not long, however, till a fraternity house became available and Acacia, under Dick's direction, acted at once.

"A great deal of effort was spent obtaining high recommendations, credit ratings, statements from local merchants, talks with key administrative personnel, and a recommendation from another fraternity, but the I.F.C. ruled that, although Acacia would be the better risk, another fraternity should have first preference. This extremely discouraging news, however, did not alter Dick's determination.

"What he did at that point is known only to himself but the results were these: The Board of Trustees suddenly ruled that as a token of good faith, the chapter that moved into the fraternity house would have to pay out 12,500 dollars. The fraternity given first preference could not meet this demand and Acacia soon took occupancy.

"The results of that move were staggering. The morale and spirit have soared, membership and activities have markedly increased, and the over-all strength of the chapter has practically doubled.

Where Rensselaer Acacia would be

today, without Dick Allen, is fortunately a question that we are not forced to consider.

"The other accomplishment that , I would like to mention, is Dick's contribution to the Fraternity Managers Association at Rensselaer.

Dick was on the committee to set up such an organization and to ¡ find a professional fraternity manager to run it. He found himself con- 1 tacting various companies about bids and sample products, and as , you might have already guessed, Dick quickly wound up in charge of the entire organization until the professional manager could take over. Within one semester, the Fraternity Managers Association expanded beyond the most optimistic expectations.

"Dick Allen has held many high positions and accomplished many things for his fraternity and university, but these are not the reasons that he was chosen to receive this award today. He was chosen because he was that undergraduate that most nearly exemplified the attributes of our beloved Brother, Roy C. Clark-perseverance, integrity, foresight, loyalty, devotion, wisdom, and leadership.

"Dick on behalf of Acacia Fraternity, it is my pleasure to present you with the first Roy C . Clark Outstanding Acacian Award."

1968-a new year is upon us and with it new hopes and dreams for the future. As TRIAD Editor, I would like to extend my best wishes, along with those of your national staff and officers, for the coming year.

1968 should be a good year for Acacia-expansion will continue, Conclave will be held in Kansas City, August 18-22 and many new men will join our ranks as members of this great fraternity. Every member should take a moment to think about the new year. He should pledge renewed loyalty to his fraternity but, most of all, he should renew his loyalty to his God a nd his country.

We should add our wishes for peace in VietNa m so that our brothers there may return safely. We should keep in mind, however; that this pe a ce should come honorably a nd with victory for free men .

Accompanied by Acacia actives an.d P_ledges in f~ll,}952, Santee jogs into Lawrence after wznmng a 14-.mzle chl!llenge'' race against a 28-man relay team of hzs fraternzty brothers. The relay runners ran half-mile legs along the race route but failed by 200 yards to beat Santee. The time-son:.ewhat a record in itself-was 73:07. News media carried the ÂŤAcacia R elayJJ story and photos across the United States.

WES SANTEE Story of a Great Athlete

By Chuck

St~wart

"I'm kinda glad he's breaking them. When they say that the old record was set by me 12 or 13 years ago, it makes me feel kind of old."

This comment was made by Wes Santee-Acacian and one of America's all-time greatest milers-at a Big Eight conference indoor track meet last year. He was watching Jim Ryun, current University of Kansas 3:51.3 star miler break one of Santee's indoor records.

The excitement of Ryun's twoyear track career has again placed national attention on the KU track.

It also brought reminders of the eventful early and mid-1950's when Santee won national acclaim for his efforts in the mile and combination 880 events.

His record at Kansas was outstanding as he broke long-established track records set by such past thinclads as Gil Dobbs and Bill Hulse.

Until his career was cut short by 12

THE TRIAD

After running a record mile on a 220 indoor track at the 1954 Michigan State R elays, Santee pauses with KV coach Bill Easton. Easton is now coaching the Mexican National Olympic Track T earn in preparation for the 1968 0 lympics in M exico City. a dispute between the NCAA and the AAU, Santee ran a chain of 48 sub-4:10 miles; six were wired into anchor carries of relays.

Best of these times was his American record mile time of 4:00.5 set in the Jerry Thompson Mile at the 1955 Texas Relays.

In half-mile competition-his secondary distance-Santee stunned spectators in 1955 as he beat three of the world's fastest runners, Lon Spurrier, world half-mile record holder, Arnie Sowell, Pacific Association Olympic favorite and Mal Whitfield, two-time Olympic champion.

In Big Eight opposition Santee gathered three indoor and outdoor mile championships, two indoor 800 titles and one outdoor at that distance. He set league records in all four categories, 4:06.3 and 1:50.8 outdoors and 4:06.5 and 1 :52.5 indoors. He also collected two con-

ference ships.

cross-country

champion-

Santee was equally successful on the national scene. He set an NCAA meet record of 4:03.7 in 1953. He twice won NAAU mile titles and, as a sophomore, set a record of 14:36.3 in the NCAA 5000 meters.

He once held concurrently mile records at Texas, Kansas and Drake.

He was NCAA cross-country champion in 1953. During a three-year period, 1952 through 1954, he ran on 23 championship relay teams on the Texas-Kansas-Drake circuit plus Michigan State, anchoring all but three of them. He anchored four winners at Drake alone in 1954.

Eight of these flights set meet records. Three of the eight set world marks.

Overall, one year after graduation, Santee held claim to not only five of the fastest miles by an American, but also to 13 of the 15

In his Lawrence, Kansas, office, Santee is surrounded by memories o this track career.

Santee (third from right) runs in 5000 meter competition at the 1954 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. fastest in American track history and 13 of the 17 fastest ever recorded on U.S. tracks.

In addition, at one time during his career he held the world record time of 3: 41.8 in the metric mile.

Between 1951 and 1955 Santee was a member of the NCAA and AAU All-American track teams.

In 1953 he was honored as Athlete of the Year by Sport magazine and Athlete of North America by Helm's Hall of Fame in Los Angeles.

During his years in active track eompetition, Santee toured extensively in Europe, Scandinavia, the Orient, Mexico and Canada. In Helsinki, Finland, he participated in the 1952 Olympics.

In fullfillment of his military obligation Santee has served in the Marine Corps Reserve since 1951 with active duty between 1955 and 1957.

He now holds rank of Major. In addition, he is also current president

At a 1964 zte ouse receptwn, Musial, director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness, greets Wes and Mrs. Santee. Santee was among 12 U. S. physical fitness leaders selected as consultants to the Council under President Johnson.

of the Missouri-Kansas Reserve Officers' Association.

Allied to his military activity, in 1964 Santee received the Navy Medal of Commendation and Appreciation from the Marine Corps for his work in civilian and military physical fitness.

Known not only for his athletic prowess, but also for his speaking ability, Santee accepts an average of 50 speaking engagements each year.

Past appearances have taken him to athletic banquets, graduation ceremonies and other events at high school, college, military and business gatherings.

With his collegiate career past, San tee now owns a growing real estate and insurance business in Lawrence, Kansas-he remained and settled in Lawrence after marriage and graduation. He and his family now live just across the street from the KU Memorial Stadium where

much of his athletic career was centered. ("Old" . as he may claim to feel, he still keeps in shape on the Stadium track. Frequent work outs enable him to run a consistent 4:30 mile.)

Opposite the Santee home, too, is Acacia's Kansas Chapter. As a "neighbor" Santee has been able to be a frequent guest, source of guidance to the chapter and advisor on plans for the 1968 Conclave in Kansas City.

Beyond informal help he has also served twice as president of the Kansas Acacia Educational Corporation and is now a member of its Board of Directors. He also is a receipient of the Order of Pythagoras.

Athletics, public service, and dedication to the growth of Acacia Fraternity have all been part of the career of Wes Santee, an outstanding Acacian.

National Perspective

By HARVEY L. LOGAN, ACTING EXECUTIVE SECRETARY

Mrs. Audra B. Eikost, Office Manager of Acacia Fraternity, celebrated her twentieth anniversary with Acacia last month. Mrs. Eikost, known literally to thousands of Brothers as ABE, has been and continues to be one of the mainstays of our fraternity. Without ABE's guidance and advice, trying to even partially execute the job of Acting Executive Secretary would not have been possible. ABE's loyalty, devotion and perseverance is unfaltering and I am sure that I speak for all Acacians when I say ''ABE we salute you.''

Barry J. Lyerly has selected two new colonizers for our colony at Houston. Brothers Mike Howell and Bobby Willmer, L.S.U. Chapter, will be transferring to the University of Houston for the spring semester. Their duties will be to aid and assist the already existing group in order that a new Chapter may be realized in the near future. We want to express our sincere appreciation to Brothers Bill Martin and Tommy Thompson, Texas Chapter, for their able assistance thus far. Above all, we want to express our appreciation to the Houston Alumni Association for its guidance and direction.

Dr. R. C. Bradley, Past National Scholarship Chairman and Expansion Director, suffered a stroke several months ago. We are happy to report that Doc's health continues to improve and that he is convalessing at the Villa de Silva Nursing Home, 1045 Silva Lane, Moberly, Missouri.

At the Fall meeting of the National Council three more Brothers were named to the Order of Pythagoras. Brother Jack Kimbrell, Washington State University; Brother Barry J. Lyerly, Colorado and Brother Larry Miller, Iowa State University. Congratulations.

Several days ago the Nebraska Chapter wrote that the construction of their new fraternity house is progressing nicely and that the Cornerstone Laying Ceremonies are scheduled for March 9, 1968.

There have been some delays in the past with your TRIADS and as a result some understandable confusion has arisen. In an effort to help clarify the situation, TRIADS, in the future, will be in the hands of the readers by Aprill, Julyl, Septemberl, andJanuaryl. In order for the TRIADS to be out as planned a schedule of deadlines for the submission of material has been established and is as follows: Material for the April 1 issue must be submit ted by February 1 Material for the July 1 issue must be submit ted by May 1 Material for the September 1 issue must be submit ted by August 1 Material for the January l issue must be submit ted by November 1 Any material received after the established deadlines will be held until the next issue.

All ma terial should be sent either to the Editor, John Hartman, 2ll2N.W. 47th, Apt. 406, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, or to the National Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois.

THE T RI AD

Psi Chi Selects Cornell Acacian

The "Spiked" Watermelon Exchange with Chi Omega Sorority was a first and well received novelty of the Fall social program at the Northwestern chapter. Held at a local stable, 30 watermelons imported from

Texas provided the feast, while a top rock band provided the beat.

Along wi'ilh various other exchanges and parties, Junior Dean Roger Hilker+ organized a Theater Party, with the brothers watching "The Man From La Mancha," and the first annual Brown Baron Party. The Shady Lady party, completely organized by the pledges, rounded out the quarter's social life.

Miss Hawkins is one of the Chapter's Playboy Bunnies who aid the Chapter at Rush and Social Functions. Last year's Miss American Football League, she is a Delta Zeta at Colorado State.

It would take an unusual rushee who would not decide right away that he better check this fraternity over thoroughly!

Oakley M. Nichols, retired Kansas City Assistant City Engineer and a Charter member of the Missouri¡ Chapter, died on November 26, 1967 in Kansas City.

A 1909 graduate of Missouri University, he was a registered professional engineer and a life member of the Missouri Society of Professional Engineers. A Mason, he was a trustee of the University Heights Christian Church and financial secretary for 36 years. Retiring in 1965, he had a total of 54 years with the city and was its leading authority on location, design and construction of sewers.

Earlier Article Misses Another Acacia Connection In the November, 1967 issue of the TRIAD, the picture at left was featured with an article concel"ning Acacians Major Burley 0. Vandergriff II, second from left, and Captain Edwin R. Maxson, right who were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in Viet Nam. Now it turns out that Lt. Colonel Eugene P. Deatrick, Commander of the I stAir Commando Squadron, left, is also connected with Acacia. His father E. P. Deatrick is a 1917 graduate of Cornell where he became a member of Acacia.

In a letter to the TRIAD, Deatrick states that his son says he would have been an Acacian also had he not attended West Point. In fact, he and his son once lived in the George Washington University Chapter house while the eider Deatrick served a tour of duty with the Soil Conservation SerV'ice in Washington. Now retired, Deatrick is the former Head of Soils at West Virginia University.

The Giraldo Tower and Light are part of Kansas City's internationallyknown Coun:ry Club Plaza. More than 100 outstanding stores, plus theatres and restaurants, attract countless visitors.
