T~IAD OF ACACIA FRATERNITY

This issue, THE TRIAD, features the dedication of the new National Headquarters held at Boulder, Colorado, September 13th. I attended the dedication ceremonies and the very least I could say to describe the event is that it was beautiful and very impressive. The pride I felt, as a member of Acacia Fraternity , in the building, its contents and the dedication, was almost indescribable. Every Acacian, both undergraduate and alumni , should make every attempt to visit the headquarters at some time in the future .. . . . . The response to the "Acacians in VietNam" blank included in the last issue of THE TRIAD has been such that it warrants its inclusion again in this issue. Please participate in this effort to recognize our Brothers who are facing danger daily in defense of our country . .. .. . New TRIAD deadlines are listed below. TRIAD Correspondents should make a note of them in order to keep submittals timely . . . . . . THE TRIAD Comments page included in this issue needs your help and interest if it is to continue. Comments on both THE TRIAD and the Fraternity are welcome. Suggestions for new features and editorial comment woudl also be helpful and are needed to keep THE TRIAD your magazine.

Fraternally,

NEW NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS DEDICATED

FORMAL CEREMONIES MARH HISTORIC EVENT A dream has been realized! The new National Headquarters was dedicated in ceremonies held September 13 at Boulder, Colorado to culminate the efforts of the men who founded Acacia Fraterntiy over 65 years ago in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The program was headed by the beloved Charles A. Sink, the only living founder of our fraternity and by a complete memorial stone laying ceremony by two Masonic lodges.

Many guests, including local townspeople, members ofvarious chapters, area and national alumni, representatives from several other fraternities and sororities, staff members and national officers, attended this historic event in the history of Acacia Fraternity.

Charles A. Sink Speaks Commenting on the results of his and the other founders efforts, Charles A. Sink, Honorary National President, recalled the 13 other founders and their lives. His eloquence and obvious emotion brought feelings of pride into every Acacian's heart who attended. Over 90 years old, "Charlie" and his wife participated in all events held in conjunction with the dedication and was the obvious "star" of the moment.

The mayor of Boulder welcomed the Fraternity to the city while the manager of the Chamber of Commerce presented a distinctive plaque to be hung on the wall in the building.

National President George F. Patterson, Jr. , thanked the guests for attending and for the kind words from the various speakers. He then spoke on the progress of the fraternity and the efforts that went into the planning and constructing of the building.

Masonic Ceremony Held The impressive and full Masonic ceremony was headed

by William L. Gobin, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the state of Colorado. The two lodges participating were Some of the many guests are shown touring the building while waiting for the dedication ceremonies to begin. Guests attended from both local and national areas.

Members of Masonic lodges, Columbia number 14 and Boulder number 45, begin their entry to the headquarters building for the memorial stone dedication ceremonies. Included are several members of the National Council and other alumni.

the Columbia Lodge number 14 and Boulder Lodge number 45. The memorial stone, made of St. Florient Rose Marble from Portugal, was cut and laid by Gene Milani's, a member of the local lodge. The formal ceremony was carried out with all the Masonic tradition and gave a special meaning to the dedication. National Council members Patterson, Ray Bivert, L.W. "Pete" Knapp, and J.B. Bearid as well as Province Governor Ollie Bruck marched with the Masonic units during their entry. Also participating was Jack Lunsford, former national officer and member of the building committee.

A very special guest of the Fraternity was Mrs. George A. Malcolm, widow of the founder, who, with her grace and dignity , added to the special meaning of the day's events.

The new building, located at 910 28th Street in Boulder, lies directly across the street from the University of Colorado campus and has a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains to the west and front. It is immediately adjacent to the National Educational Research Center which is housed in a beautiful building that serves to highlight the Acacia headquarters. The landscaping which serves both buildings includes many shrubs, trees and a large and attractive lagoon.

Bearild, Judge Advocate and George F. Patterson, Jr., President.

The building has a total of 6,000 square feet, 5,000 of which is occupied by the Fraternity while the balance, located in the basement, is currently rented to a local architectural firm. It will remain rented until the space is needed for fraternity use and will help provide maintenance and tax income. From 28th Street, which the building faces, it appears to be one story. This is because it was designed to be built into a slope by the architect, Hobart D. Wagener of Boulder, with parking space and entry into the lower level located behind the building and below the street level.

Construction Features Features of the building include construction of Moss Rock , glass and wood. Both contemporary and modern, the hip roof is shake shingle with a large skylight in the center.

The entire interior of the building on the second level is open beam which provides a spacious appearance. The general offices, conference room , Field Secretary offices, Assistant Executive Secretary quarters, and the Executive Secretary offices are located around the perimeter of the building.

In the center of the building, and directly beneath the skylight, are the archives of the Fraternity. Funded by a partially completed fund drive (Club 65), it was the general consensus of the architectural committee, National officers

and staff that the Fraternity revolves around its history and that the building could be very appropriately laid out in this manner. To further enhance the archives, they have been set into the floor four-and-one-half feet which creates a sunken museum effect. The archives can thus be viewed from the main floor or from the lower level by descending a short stairway at the east end. Currently included in this area are display cases holding various items of the Fraternity 's history, wall plaques, pictures and bookshelves holding books and documents of significance to both Acacians and visitors.

Included on the ground level in addition to the rented space are the supply room, mechanical room and restrooms.

First Owned Property The new National Headquarters is the first property to be owned by Acacia since the founding in 1904. It also marks a move from the Chicago and Evanston, illinois, area where the headquarters had been located for the past 30 years.

The day's events, and the building itself, are another milestone in the history of our Fraternity, one to be remembered not only for its significance to the past, but also for its symbol of the future and continued growth that will mark Acacia's path in the corning years. A dream has been realized!

Alumni Profile:

ACACIAN RETIRES AS PENN STATE VICE PRESIDENT College, recalls Stanley H. Campbell, Penn State Chapter alumnus, had no place in his plans when a student in high school in York, Pennsylvania.

And yet, college administrative work proved to be the career for Campbell who retired February 1 as vice-president emeritus of business at The Pennsylvania State University , completing 38 years of service to the University.

Campbell quit high school at the end of his sophomore year.

He doesn't really consider himself a "drop-out" because he quit to enroll in a secretarial course that led to a job with a plumbing, heating, and supply house in York. He became an estimator for the firm and he also did some estimating about his own future .

Convinced that he had made a mistake, he returned to school and at the age of 22 received his high school diploma. Enrolling at Penn State, he qualified for the bachelor of arts degree in business administration in 1932.

During his junior and senior years at Penn State, he held a full-time job as secretary to the late J. Orvis Keller, then assistant to the President in charge 'of Ex tension , his secretarial training and experience having enabled him to do so.

He was named in 1934 as district representative with the Continuing Education Services and served two years in the Harrisburg area and six in the Pittsburgh area . In 1942, he was named supervisor of the District Representatives Division and in 1948 became director of the Division of Undergraduate Centers with responsibility for the program that has grown into Penn State's Commonwealth Campus System.

Campbell was named assistant to the director of Continuing Education in 1953 , transferring in 1959 to the Office of the Vice-President for Business as

THE TRIAD

director of the department of housing and food services with responsibility for housing and feeding 8,700 students.

The following year he was named vice-president for business, a job encompassing all of the business operations of the University, including the housing and food services; personnel services and employee relations; purchasing; physical plant planning, construction , maintenance, and operations; as well as security, a management engineering division, and general services, which range from mail and telephone service to printing and operation of the University Park airport.

As the student enrollment grew from 23,584 in 1962 to 38,625 resident-credit students this year, so did the job Campbell filled, with residence halls, for example, now housing more than 13,000 at University Park and branch campuses, where additional residence halls now are under construction.

Growth of the physical plant during the past six years also has been amazing with forty major buildings completed at University Park and twelve at other campuses and the valuation of the physical plant having more than doubled during this period from $126 ,980,000 six years ago to $258,000,000 today.

Born in Front Royal, Va., Campbell moved to York at the age of five. He has continued as a member of Zeradatha Lodge No. 451, F. and A.M . in York.

At Penn State, as an undergraduate, he was president of his chapter, and for many years he continued as financial adviser to the fraternity.

Following retirement, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell plan to spend three months in Naples, Fla. They will maintain their State College residence, spending the summer months there and the winter months in Florida . ~~~

PLAN YOUR WORK

"TIMl CHART

YOU ARE NOW in business for yourselfthe important business of getting a college education. You are "on your own," perhaps for the first time. Whether you emerge from this new enterprise with scholastic honor or in mental bankruptcy will depend upon you alone, in the last analysis. But because the business of securing a college education does demand some adjustments and new habits, there are several hints that may be helpful in making college life happier and more profitable for you. This pamphlet contains a number of such suggestions, designed to aid you in improving your study habits and in making a better adjustment to your new environment.

Read them carefully and apply those that fit your own needs.

GET STARTED RIGHT

~)fJ

1

LEARNING REQUIRES EFFORT. Get \t started right, and keep going. Do your , , wo<k on time. Attend cia" "gulady, in 1 spirit as well as in body. _ , Don't drift. Analyze your work from week to week, and discover the methods of study which are best for you.

Have a goal. Plan courses to fit your abilities and your objectives.

Getting an education is your MAIN objective now.

IN COLLEGE you will need to budget your time more carefully than you have ever done before.

To gain balance among the daily activities you must know that, basically , there are several specific activities for which you must allow time.

1. You must sleep. (One needs 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to enable him to carry on the other 16-17 hours of awake or active time.)

2. You must eat. (Three squares a day , eaten leisurely.)

3. You must allow time for personal grooming.

4 . You must attend classes.

5. You must study.

Make a reasonable schedule and stick to it. A suggested Time Chart form is shown below. Construct your own and USE IT.

Your schedule should provide for about two hours of preparation outside of class for every hour spent in the classroom for your academic courses. But flexibility i_s important - your schedule should suit your needs. When circumstances prevent your keeping to your schedule (and this does happen in college!), make sure you devote the amount of time you need for each subject by trading your study times rather than stealing from it.

Study periods should be about 50 minutes long for maximum effectiveness. If you need to study longer, "take a break" after about 50 minutes, then resume study.

Use the between-class hours for study. Most students are more efficient in the morning afternoon hours than in the after-dinner hours. During the freshman year extracurricular activities should be kept to a minimum. See how you make out in your studies before you expand or add to your activities. If you must earn money , schedule your courses accordingly - college is a full time job when a student takes 15 to 17 credit hours, so you should try not to carry a full load of outside work. Your record in college is a pubUc record which will be on ftle for the rest of your life. Make it a good record. .---IW....--,

. HEALTH

GOOD HEALTH, both physical and mental, is necessary if you are to get the most out of your college work.

Be regular in your eating, sleeping, exercising and other personal habits. Attend to all illnesses immediately, even minor ones.

Mental health is an important factor in successful living, both in college and out. Learn to meet your problems calmly and squarely. Face reality with courage; don't dodge the facts. "Act your age." Do rather than dream about doing.

Wishing will not make it so!

If you want a well-rounded personality, you must grow up physically, mentally and emotionally.

Worry is one of the chief causes of inefficient study. If - you have worries, talk them over with someone worthy of your confidence. Thorough discussion of your worries with an impartial person will usually remove most of their "nuisance value."

STUDY ENVIRONMENT HAVE A definite place for study. If you can arrange to use it as a place for study only, it will soon come to mean study. It should be a spot where you can be relatively free from interruptions.

Keep your study room well ventilated and not too warm.

Be comfortable - but avoid being too comfortable. Adjust your light so that it will not shine directly in your eyes. Do not work in a glaring light or in a shadow. ¡ ¡ Keep your desk cleared for action. Have all work material at hand before you start work. Have a good dictionary within easy reach.

Get the type of notebooks, paper and other equipment best adapted to your courses. Own -don't borrow- your textbooks and other study equipment.

10

THE TRIAD

CONCENTRATING START STUDYING as soon as you sit down at your desk.

Avoid daydreaming. Work intensely while you work. Keep this one job clearly before you. Forget everything else.

Interest is the greatest aid to concentration. Find relations between new materials and old interests. Read widely about the subjects you are taking. The more you know about anything, the more interesting it .becomes.

READING SKILLS SOME COLLEGE STUDENTS do not read well because they have never learned how.

It is possible for any normal adult to read 1,000 words a minute (and more!), with training. Yet most college students read around 300 words per minute. There are three principles that can be applied any time you read non-textbook level materials: (1) Always read faster than is comfortable - don't lag along. The faster your normal rate becomes the better your understanding will be. (2) Do not regress - keep reading ahead in every sentence even when you come across a new word. If some word, term, or phrase has clouded your understanding, reread only after you have read the entire paragraph through once. (3) Read selectively! As you read, make a conscious effort to screen the nouns, pronouns and verbs from the other words.

These words give meaning to what you read. In effect, you should really read the nouns, pronouns and verbs, but merely see the rest of the words in a sentence.

Textbook reading requires a different approach from general reading. Four steps will helpl}'ou get the most out of the time you spend in textbook study: (1) Skim. Use table of contents, paragraph headings, illustrations, and summary in order to get a good overview. (2) Underscore. Prepare to underscore the meaning of what you will read by turning the chapter heading into a question. Write your question down, it will be the nucleus of some cue notes you should take down after reading the chapter. (3) Read. Try to answer your questions (or the author's questions) as you read Read purposefully! (4) Emphasize. Once you have located main ideas, write short cue notes under the question for later use. Review your notes five to ten minutes the same day you write them. And review them every week for about an hour.

REMEMBERING A STUDY ASSIGNMENT is never mastered without a great deal of remembering.

Remembering should be based on understanding. Make sure that your impression of the material to be memorized is definite and clean-cut.

There is no possibility of recalling material which has not been registered clearly. Form a variety of associations among the points you wish to remember. The richer the associations, the better the memory.

The mere reading of words will not help you to remember. Think about what you are trying to learn. Find an interest in the material if you wish to memorize it with ease.

In learning a foreign language, train your ear by speaking aloud the sentences you read and write. This aids memory and prevents later self-consciousness in class recitation. Always consider the sentence as the language unit. Read each sentence aloud, repeat it - then try to repeat it from memory. SEE, HEAR, TALK, THINK and ACT the new language.

Review the material you want to remember. And then review it again! Repetition strengthens associations. The stronger the associations among your ideas, the better your memory will be.

Allowan interval between learning periods. "Spaced prac. tice" is an effective aid to memory.

Forgetting often results from being nervous or "fussed."

Have confidence in your ability to remember.

BUILD A POWERFUL VOCABULARY YOUR VOCABULARY should be exten- @*It sive enough to enable you to read and write ....,..·· * well. A good vocabulary is a powerful · ~.;t::;_;.•,. weapon in school - and throughout your ~~ lifetime. Your vocabulary can be built up ~~ systematically by devoting a little time and ~ effort to enlarge it. Here is how it's done: Get yourself some blank 3 x 5 cards. Set aside a portion of your notebook for vocabulary. Each time you encounter a word unfamiliar to you, write it down in your notebook. When you have listed 10 words or so, write each word on a separate 3 x 5 card. On the reverse side write the meaning of the word (use a dictionary if you need to); and write the word in a sentence. Make it a constant companion! Once a week review each card until you have memorized the meaning of a word.

This system has the advantage of ( 1) assisting you to identify words you actually need to Jearn, and (2) allows you to enlarge your vocabulary in a convenient yet purposeful manner.

____,\§

THEME WRITING

EFFECTIVE EXPRESSION, both oral and written, is an important asset in any occupation. Take pride in your theme writing; it is an exceedingly valuable part of your preparation for after-college life. Some of the following suggestions may be helpful in makjng your theme writing more enjoyable.

If you are given the opportunity to select your own subject for a theme , select one which is : (I) ofinteresttoyou; (2) specific enough to be covered adequately in the time and space allotted; (3) broad enough to give you something worth writing about; (4) important enough to you to be worth the time you spend on it.

Never start writing without an outline or plan of what you are going to write. It is much easier to alter an outline or plan than it is to change a theme after it is written.

Use cards or slips of paper for notes from djfferent sources. Arrange your cards accoriling to your outline. Find the central thought in each group and then expand the idea with examples, comparisons, contrasts, and analogies. Arrange the ideas in logical sequence. If possible, place the most striking paragraphs at the beginning and end. Select words which are best suited to your mearung. Revise for sentence structure and word choice.

NOTETAKING AND NOTEKEEPING

_

1 .. _ . _ _

ACCURATE, LEGIBLE NOTES are invaluable aids during college and in most occu,,;::::.:.:::. ~--·· ......... pations. Notes should be taken during lectures and during textbook reading sessions.

The keynote of good note taking is to listen much and write a little. Learn to identify main points and jdeas and write them out in outline form Other pointers are important, too : (1) Use an 8~ x 11 notebook preferably. Use dividers to separate the various subjects. Keep notes on one subject together.

(2) Strive to take good notes the first time. Do not plan to recopy notes - recopy only when clarity and conciseness demand it.

(3) DoodHng is bound to distract your attention - avoid it.

(4) Review your notes for about five minutes the same day you take them, and at least once a week for about an hour at a planned time. ::.:~-

·-·- ·

EXAMINATIONS PREPARATION FOR EXAMINATIONS should begin early in the course. Start all study periods wjth a brief (5-10 minute) review. Refresh your memory of old material before preparing the new. Set aside half an hour each week for review of each subject. Review those materials which are still hazy and poorly learned. Don't spend your time on the things which you know thoroughly. Study and review the material in the way in which you will be called upon to reproduce jt during the examination period. Feverish exertions at the end of the course cannot replace conscientious work throughout the semester, term, or quarter.

Go to the examination with a clear head and a wellrested body. Give yourself a fair chance. In an objective examination, try to answer questions quickly. If any questions puzzle you, sbp over them the first time. When you have answered the questions you can, go back and try the unanswered ones again. Attempt to answer every question, unless there is a penalty for guessing. In an essay examination read all the questions before you start writing. Jot down ideas as they occur to you. Before answering a question you must be certain that you have found the definite point of the question. Be sure you understand what is required , and then plan or outline your answer before you begin to write. Divide your time so that each question will receive its proper consideration. Keep active. Don't waste your time in dreaming. Write legibly. Follow directions. Believe in yourself. Rely upon your own ability and knowledge.

Examinations are a test of strength and a means of measuring your progress. Life itself is a series of exarrunations.

TRIAD would like to present it to its readers in the hope it will shed some much needed insight into he problems facing the college campus today. Ned Callan is a member of Sigma Chi at Colorado State College where he has taken a leave of absence during his year as President of the Association of Student Governments. At Colorado State, he served as Student Body President, Class President, Rush Chairman of his fraternity and was named "Mr. Fraternity" for the Greek system. He was also named Outstanding Senior.

The message he has to say was also given to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in connection with hearings on riots, civil and criminal disorders and disruptions of college campuses.

NOT REVOLUTION a time for constructive activism By: Edward (Ned) 0. Callan, President Association of Student Governments I want to thank you for affording the Association of Student Gqvernments the opportunity to speak before you today on behalf of the great majority of college and university students that the public never hears about; the ones that are constantly working . within the framework of society for much needed changes, the ones that are, more times than not, overlooked or ignored.

The Association of Student Governments is a national, non-profit, non-partisan, educational organization which is striving to return reason as the hallmark of the university , which seems to have been replaced by coercion in many instances.

We represent over 300 colleges and universities across the nation, through the memberships of their respective student governments, the duly elected representatives of the student community.

ASG recognizes the need to offer students an alternative to groups that would employ extra-legal means to accomplish desired , and very often worthwhile, modifications to the campus community, thus we offer and promote better student government.

We are working to strengthen these governments through our various programs and services, to more effective, more responsive, and, most of all, more relevant actions in these crucial times. We represent the attitudes of the constructive activists of the nation's student population ; the serious minded students, desirous of an education, sharing little ground with Students for a Democratic Society.

Our nation finds itself faced with a generation searching for answers, seeking involvement. The American college campus is in a state of crisis. Student unrest , for a multitude of reasons, is a reality. Although many define today's youth as right or left wing radicals, we understand that the youth of today are a sincere, intelligent, and well-informed group more interested in affecting progress than accepting the "good-life" provided by its elders. Dissatisfaction with the impersonal multiversity, apparent lack of purpose within curricula, and out-dated attitudes toward the needs of today's better informed, more aware college students are only a part of the complex and very urgent challenges to higher education in America.

Students today are concerned with practically every aspect of human existence. From questions of environmental con¡ trol raised by increasing' air and water pollution, to intensely emotional problems of personal relationships focused by civil rights activity, to keen interest in govern¡ mental, economic and educational structures which seem to be unresponsive to the conditions of the times, students seek involvement in, and a share in the control of, those institutions and processes of change which directly and immediately affect their lives and those of their fellow men.

Our generation is no puzzle ; it is a product of its own sociological and environmental period of time. Just as many of today's "older generation" do not understand the youth of today , today's youth fail to understand the older generation, its established institutions and procedures. The case remains that each is guilty of viewing the situation from its own narrow frame of reference.

Objectivity and understanding, communication, involvement, and cooperation are the by-words of progress and advancement. The Association of Student Governments realizes that young people feel alienated. They cannot find peace of mind when probing for answers to questions concerning the draft, poverty, the war, loss of ideals, the race situation. They feel they cannot be heard , or if heard, listened to as responsible individuals with valid and sincere ideas.

Today's students are unlike any this country has witnessed. They are the products and, to an extent, the victims of conditions which allow for

THE TRIAD

15

the greatest ¡possible freedom of expression and individuality. Today's students are singularly aware of the contrasts and tragic conflicts of American society. They are cradled in the lap of a communications revolution which simultaneously unifies and splinters, propagandizes and educates. They are doted on by an economy which idolizes and glorifies youth but which must be restrained by force oflaw from poisoning the air, despoiling the land and from discriminatory hiring practices.

Yet no one has as much hope for the future as today's students. It is not a blind hope founded on the promise of a good job or "womb to womb" security, but the hope that sensitivity and creativity can be maintained long enough to implement the products of idealism. In that they have maintained and continued to develop an intense idealism, they stand as living criticism of many of the institutions and mechanisms of our society. In that they have persevered in the face of frustration and inter-generational hostility, they offer the best chance of the future survival of the country.

Today our society witnesses another body of students, highly intense and serious about the problems and issues that face our society, but convinced that our present system cannot adequately cope with them. These are the Students for a Democratic Society.

James Russell Lowell, the poet and critic, once said, "It is not the insurrections of ignorance that are dangerous, but the revolts of intelligence." Some brilliant minds have chosen to follow and lead radical organizations such as the Students for a Democratic Society, and in this is a greater danger than the threats to destroy our society and eliminate economic capitalism. It is unfortunate that minds such as these, creative, concerned, socially aware, will be lost to society, a loss that we can ill afford. It would be an even greater tragedy if more students felt compelled to follow a path similar to that taken by the youth in Nazi Germany, and yet this is a tragedy we face.

The question remains: why have these students chosen to follow the paths they do, and, more importantly, what can we do to bring them back? We must take into consideration how various influences within society directly affect not only the mood of students but the spirit of the nation itself.

Today's youth abound with an extreme degree of impatience. They view an economy which is approaching an amazingly high level, and yet are witness to malnutrition and poor housing. Despite numerous laws, there is still discrimination, particularly in employment and participation in the workings of American life. They are involved in an educational system which tells them it is their duty as citizens and human beings to prepare themselves for positions of leadership, but which frequently allows little or no participation in its decision making. Young people, while sometimes bewildered, are struggling to find palatable solutions to these and other far-reaching contradictions, problems \\'hi~ most concerned citizens agree are contrary to the basic concepts upon which this country was founded.

The average American student still has faith, pride, and patience with the presently established channels, but these are wearing thin. No longer will pats on the head be accepted by those who do not protest or riot or burn, for they are tired of the action and attention paid those who scoff due process. Placating those who demonstrate against, rather than for, must cease.

If higher education and the higher orders of our society are unwilling to respond to the constructive activism of those who represent the student community, but will only respond to the shouting and demanding of those who 'misrepresent this community, how can our other institutions be expected to react differently? If the machinery within the system is going to be unresponsive to the legitimate grievances articulated by the student community, then no concerned student organization, no matter where it is on the political spectrum, can urge students to invoke that machinery. If those in control of higher education, and the rest of the nation's institutions, don't start proving that the principles of our society are sound, that society is able to and will solve the problems within it, that it wants and needs the ......_...__ ¡ responsible partiCipation of its young in all of this, many students will feel compelled, through dissatisfaction, discouragement, and distrust, to turn to the ranks of the radical left. I must warn that administrators and the public must start listening and attending to the responsible voice, for if not, many more of the seven one half million college students will turn to groups like the Students for a " c~ 1

Democratic Society.

But how has society reacted to all of this? Society has been conditioned to relying on television, radio, the newspapers, and magazines. Unfortunately, front pages are often its only basis for expertise and understanding, and tcday we read about the myriad of student riots, students' belligerent attitudes, their anarchistric dreams. Today's news has forged in the minds of millions of Americans an image depicting most college students as irresponsible, unclean and immoral. This image was skillfully produced and directed by the publicity-conscious radicals, knowledgeable of the reactions from the public to such a picture; the small percentage has made itself seem like I 00%.

To emphasize this point, I will tum to some facts: (I) There are over 7,500,000 registered college students in the country.

(2) SDS, even by its own claims, has only 30,000-40,000 members, or at best less than Yz of 1% of our total student population; of those perhaps only 7,000 are "hard-core".

(3) There are 2,300 institutions involved in higher education. ( 4) Disruptions have taken place on just over 200 of these, less than 10%.

It has been said that the call for law and order has simply been a call for peace and quiet, and this approach does not reach the heart of the real problems. SDS is not the cause of America's ills, but a manifestation of problems it sees in our society. It has far over-stepped the bounds of reason and order, but still must be taken as a warning of what is and will be happening unless solutions are sought and provided.

In a just completed survey by the Association of representatives from schools across the country, student leaders in all but a few cases failed to consider SDS or other radical groups as the major problems of their campuses. More important were the effects these groups were having on the futures of individuals and the institutions.

The problems of our society and the misunderstandings of our college students have given impetus to the growth of SDS. Many students in SDS are intensely interested in the problems of our society and the rest of the world; they are brilliant and highly motivated. They have a very deep concern for all the people who don't enjoy the full benefits of our economy. Their creative minds have developed many proposed solutions, most of which aim at the destruction of our society, but also many that could be implemented into our present system of democracy.

It is clear that most within SDS have given up working within the framework of our economic and government systems and because of this, their discussions are confined to socialist and communist theories of control and government. Their dissatisfaction has led to their embracing these theories as the only possible answers to the worlds' wrongs.

Their tactics often include sloganeering, attempting to arouse people with emotional phraseology. We hear, "Power to the People," "Power to the Worker," "Long Live the People's War," and "Fight Racism". Yet the Blacks and labor, for whom they fight and ideologize, are but a tiny minority in their number. For that matter, much of their leadership is not collegiate, in age or enrollment. This points to an effective tool of SDS: to capitalize on legitfmate and popular grievances and issues, for general sympathy and acceptance.

Talk still dominates SDS, and it would be a disaster if the actions of which it is capable are not "beaten to the draw" with action from society to solve the problems around which they band together and foster support.

The strategy of the New Left is to play upon the ills of society and build

-~~ยง~~~~~=~~~~

discontent will be such that a revolution will come about.

Most advocate violence. They often deny the rights they demand, and destroy the freedoms they are seeking to defend.

Our system has always sustained itself by meeting the problems of society head on, providing adequate measures to solve or eliminate them. This can no longer be done with rhetoric, but only with action; not by demonstrating the .greatness of the past, but by meeting the present needs of America.

Students today are challenging the institutions they feel are aligned with the evils of our society. In that colleges and universities are microcosms of our society, students mirror the times. These institutions have become the targets of protest, simply because they occupy the lives of students.

Students do not easily identify with other institutions such as business, industry, and government, so naturally they turn their dissatisfaction on the institution they can most readily influence. They seek to affect the directions the colleges and universities are taking.

The campus today is no longer the intellectual citadel of learning it once was. Many relevant external influences press iH. upon the student. The war, the draft, racial injustices, the daily news brought in from the outside by radio and television are but a few of these pressures. The student moves out into the world to find the answers to questions raised in the classrooms. To borrow a phrase currently in vogue, the student is keenly interested in "confronting his environ~ ment."

THE TRIAD

Part of that environment is the intellectual and administrative machinery of the educational system. After a period of several years of student activism it has become apparent that some of that machinery is ineffective and inoperative.

Student participation in communication procedures established for administrations and faculties is rarely formalized. Frequently the administrator designated to the student as being receptive to suggestions and criticisms serves merely as a counselor and disciplinary officer. There are channels of communication from him downward to the student, but few upward through him to the powers that be. Consequently, no action comes from such a meeting. Probably, the most frequently reiterated response from such administrators is, "I haven't the responsibility," "I haven't the authority," and the matter from his point of view rests there. Not so for the student. He turns to every recourse possible, and ends frustrated and angered by seeming bureaucratic evasion. Together with the fact that students are enthusiastic and often, therefore, impatient, these obstructions and delays lay the groundwork for at best mistrust, at worst, explosive situations. Moreover, communication on many campuses is so bad that students are usually _unaware of the rationale behind present university policies.

Many administrators, in turn, are oblivious of those factors which create student mistrust and have paid little attention to the intellectual and emotional arguments for student participation in university communication and policy.

Fed up with administrators' seeming disinterest, tired of delays, and finding no alternative, students feel compelled to resort to demonstrations as the only method left to make known their desire for change and improvement. What were previously suggestons are escalated into demands. Although most of the student activists are concerned with the betterment of the American educational system, there is, unfortunately, a small percentage, which is dedicated_to destruction and senseless violence, and it remains to be seen whether or not this minority will develop a larger, more effective following.

There is, however, an organization on the campus comprised of elected student representatives which can and must serve as the direct communications link between the student and the administrator. That body is the student government.

Presently, student governments are 'in the process of change to meet the needs of the contemporary student. It should be noted that this evolution has necessarily been slow in coming, because democratic institutions are slow to adopt drastic change. It should also be noted that change is even slower to the campus democratic institution because the student government representatives are full time students and, therefore , cannot devote their full energies to the government. Nonetheless, change in student government structure and function is a dramatic reality. Student leaders are more than aware that the days are over when the prime function of the student government was to sponsor the Homecoming Dance.

If given the responsibility they seek, they can become the trusted intermediaries in the process of increased

/

student-administrator cooperative communication; they will be deserving of the titles they carry. With this in mind, no one can deny that the university cannot only be restored as a peaceful institution, but will, in addition, become a more cooperative, unified body of administrators, faculty and students.

The institutions of higher education must respond to the call for communication and participation. Since this is the area of which the Association of Student Governments is a representative, I address myself to a few specifics for action on campuses.

Of utmost priority on every campus, whether experiencing student unrest, anticipating trouble, or expecting no violence, is the immediate implementation of discussions among student government leaders, faculty and administrators. The topics' of discussions and actions should include: Definition of the legal relationship of the student to the university. Too often all parties are unaware of this relationship. Exact definition of the legal relationship will acquaint the students, administrators, and faculty with the basic legal rights and responsibilities of the students. This should be done through the implementation of a code of conduct.

A clearly defmed organizational chart of duties for administrators. Many administrators often do not know what their specific areas of authority and accountability are. As a result, students do not know what position in the administration can answer their specific questions. With the duties clearly defmed and made public, students will fmd the established procedures more open and operable.

The position and placement of students on facultyadministration committees. Discussion should try to uncover what committees students have a legal right and interest to serve on, what their participation should be, and what percentage of the committee positions should be granted students.

More administration-student communication. Administrators should make every effort to make known the decisions affecting the education and well-being of their student body, the rationale behind them, and the events that led up to the decisions.

Increased fmancial support to the student government.

As I mentioned before, student governments are necessarily slow in meeting the needs of today's students because the leaders are fulltime students and, therefore, limited in time. If that time is spent in the duties of simply keeping up with internal procedures such as typing and mimeographing minutes, reports and letters, student leaders can devote little time to reaching the students. If, however, adequate clerical staff is provided and financial support for studentbenefiting programs is allocated, the student body will then gegin to see defmite action by the student government and will, therefore, have more respect for their elected leaders.

If these topics are discussed and acted upon, the majority of students will see definite, positive and constructive steps being taken to improve and maintain the institution. If those responsible for the direction of the university begin

demonstrating their sincere concern for the students, most students will then recognize that administrators are working in their behalf.

Curricula must be updated and made more applicable to the times. Educators who think that higher education should be limited to the strict cultivation of the mind are the ones who make colleges irrelevant to the real world. If higher education is to be of consequence, students must have opportunities to practice putting thought into action. The test is not an ability to verbalize, but to live.

Campus-community relations must be improved, and I suggest the first job of any campus building program is to tear down the walls between itself and the community.

We cannot improve the institution merely by criticizing, discrediting and condemning the rioters. We can only improve the institutions by filling the void that the riots and disruptions have already proven exists.

On campus after campus, SDS has exploited student concern over justifiable issues in order to create the illusion of grassroots support ; this for the benefit of the news media, and at the expense of an already confused campus situation.

Moderates and the rest, who have nourished SDS with their silence, are guilty of lending their approval to SDS tactics. Their sympathy has been felt and shrewdly manipulated by SDS leadership. The silence must be broken; not with confrontation, but by taking a position against SDS goals and methods, thereby removing the great source of moral support.

The ruse is apparent ; students have played the Trojan Horse for SDS long enough. We are beginning to realize the facts, and we are going to clean house. It is about time our higher institutions did the same.

The emphasis by critics of the activities of the Students for a Democratic Society has been misplaced. SDS is a political movement, not an educational organization. To suggest crippling higher education in order to attack SDS is no more valid than prescribing brain surgery for a broken arm.

This, in fact, is what SDS is seeking: the system destroying itself, institution against institution, with SDS left erect in the rubble.

There has been a failure of college discipline to present a clear choice between overkill and surrender. It is tragic that even now when we should have realized the need to exp[ore the middle ground, we don't see the alternatives coming forth , even for those who claim to represent responsible leadership. If the intolerance of the left is merely going to be replaced by a more-iron tyranny on the right, then the gap will widen and the triumph of either will bring a plague on all our houses. You cannot open minds by cracking skulls.

A critical point has been reached, and it is the duty of every college student to say what he does and does not stand for. The Association of Student Governments stands for universities where all questions are open to inquiry, deliberation and debate. We will not stand for a university where these questions are decided by violence and the arbitrary use of authority. ~ ~ ~

I certainly thank cacia Fraternity for giving me this forum ; and I should probably apologize for some of the mail the national head· quarter has been receiving - · if the mail I have been receiving is any indication. We have received a number of letter here requesting copie of that speech, and questioning many of our

EDITOR 'S NOTE: Jerry Lilly 's ref'!'Jrks had to be the most thought provoking and contemporary article to appear in some time. It is interesting to note that the undergraduates most generally welcomed and agreed with his views while many alumni were almost violently opposed. It was not Mr. Lilly's thought to set out his views as the only solution to the survival of the fraternity system, but to provoke thought and interest in working out some of the problems that face the fraternity man today.

Dear Editor: I was glad to find th& text of Mr. Lilly's Conclave address in the January TRIAD , ince l listened to his speech with grea t interest at Kansas City and am happy to have a copy fo r review at hand . Of course he chose certain phrases and generaliza tions with the inte nt ion of "ge tting a rise" from the audience, but there is much to think about in his remarks.

The only objection r have to thi and simila r essays "getting back to the basics", " meeting today's challenge ", etc., is that while the criticisms of var· ious activities like ru h, pledge training, and scholar hip program are well taken, the writers do not ay how to introduce innovations or cut back on certain types of activity when a chapter exists within a Greek community with wh.ich it must compete.

If a fraternity i to be a benefi t to its members , it must survive and perpetuate its ex• tence. Thi mu t be the (continued on page 27)

By Harvey L. Logan, Executive Secretary

Field Secretary joins staff

Steve Gamble, Georgia Chapter, recently joined the staff as Field Secretary. Unfortunately, Brother Gamble was drafted September 10, 1969. We were very fortunate in locating a very capable replacement, Chuck Stewart. Chuck comes from the Kansas University Chapter where he served as Venerable Dean, Rush Chairman and IFC Rush Chairman. He will be visiting the Western Jurisdiction.

Fall Meeting of the National Council

The National Council held its fall meeting September 11-15 to coincide with the Headquarters dedication. Some action included suspension of the Alabama and Central Missouri State Chapters, appointment of Willard Fuller as Assistant Province Governor for Ohio and Michigan, appointment of Norm Saatjian as National Scholarship Chairman, and expansion of the existing finance committee to the now investment and finance committee to be chaired by L. W. Knapp, Jr. 1970 Conclave

In order that as many brothers as possible may have an opportunity to see their fraternity's Headquarters, the next Conclave will be held in Colorado. The Conclave is scheduled to take place August 23-28, 1970 in Estes Park, Colorado, at the YMCA Conference Camp. Plan ro attend as I'm sure it will be an enjoyable and memorable event.

Expansion

Assistant Executive Secretary, Barry J. Lyerly, reports favorable prospects for colonization at Hampden-Sydney College- Hampden-Sydney, Virginia; Western Missouri State College- St..

Joseph, Missouri; and Georgia Tech- Atlanta, Georgia. At the present time, Acacia has two prospering colonies at the University of Northern Iowa and East Texas State University.

Undergraduates and graduates to be polled

The Objectives Committee established at the 1968 Conclave and chaired by L. W. Knapp , Jr. , is under way. A random sampling of undergraduate and graduate opinion on the fraternity's direction will be conducted soon. If any organization is to remain viable, it must be responsive and progressive and therefore we are relying upon the cooperation of those brothers asked to participate.

Fraternally, David B. Williams Secretary, Illinois Wesleyan Acacia Corp.

Dear Editor: . . . Was quite disappointed in that not one word was therein (in the October, 1968 issue) concerning the 35th Biennial Conclave which was supposed to have been held August 18-22 in Kansas City. Did something happen to prevent the holding of same, did the person or persons who was (were) to have written up the happenings fai led in their assignment, or was it thought some of the material which did appear was more timely/or important?

Disappointedly, Kirby E. Jackson Washington 192

EDITOR 'S NOTE: As quite commonly happens, the issue Brother Jackson spoke of came out shortly after the Conclave and the material for that issue was submitted before the Conclave was held. This is because deadlines are a minimum of six weeks before a publication date. The Conclave material was contained in the next issue, or the January, /969 edition.
