tAt a General Convention I was walking from the Convention Hall with a middle-aged alumnus I did not know well. With a broad grin and mostly in jest he said, " Well, I know one thing. We are the most conceited frater.nity ." I underst?od the remark . It was not critical. It was the re!!ctwn of one who was pleased w1th the accomphshments of his fraternity, but felt there were bounds beyond which self-praise and adulation should not go

For years I have thought about the matter of conceit and egotism . There is nothing new about it. The Ancient Greeks felt there was little worse than over-weaned pride Greek drama is full of the calamitous results of arrogance. Dr Reinhold Niebuhr at the height of his influence constantly emphasized that man had no worse sin than pridefulness.

Deeper consideration assures us that there is a saving correction which is needed when we consider the subject of conceit. It is not to say that pride is to be admired or that persons should wring their hands in abject humility. Nations must feel their greatness. What nation is there where its most ardent followers are not believers in its superiority? Pride plays a large part in th e historical development of institutions of higher learning. Pride in "the old school tie" is a reality Pride also plays a large part in competitive sports. It is the old shout, "We are number one!" The same thing is true in family life What is more contemptible than the person who despises his family and name?

Fraternities and sororities have grown in strength and influence through members who have been proud to belong There are those who gladly tell of their membership, wear their badge, and want their children to follow them in membership. Still my thought goes back constantly to the experience with which this INTER FRATRES opens. I for one would not want us to be "the most conceited fraternity." I would speak against pridefulness. I would want us to be modest, humble, and free of boastfulness and arrogance

What then can we say about the difference be tween being the "most conceited fraternity" and being justifiably proud of what our fraternity has done and is doing? I would suggest a positive and remedial thought for our dilemma. Stewart Alsop in STAY OF EXECUTION tells of his admiration for Winston Churchill Alsop says of Churchill that the best way he could sum up what he represented was that Churchill had "elegant integrity."

I that we have " elegant integrity." This would take the form of a genuine appreciation , eshmate, and cnhque of our fraternity It would lead us to be like Israel Zangwill's fish peddler who was "g lad to be alive" and "terribly glad to be selling fish on Maxwell Street."

I would .be ter:ibly gl.ad for our history, library, ritual, badge, membership, great men, past and present, fnendsh1p, achievements of members, and above all, the undying and unforgettable hours we have spent together in a great and good fraternity ·

cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you " These words sum up the guiding philosophy of the man who spoke them. John R. Wooden, Purdue '32, recently retired after 27 years as head coach of the UCLA Bruins The men of Beta Theta Pi salute Coach Wooden upon completion of an unprecedented career as coach, educator, humanitarian and family man. John Wooden's coaching feats are legend and will be enumerated later in this article There is another aspect of his life which so typifies both his spirit and that of Beta Theta Pi.

In November, 1974, John received the "Velvet Covered Brick Award" presented by the Layman's Leadership Institute of Corpus Christi, Texas. The citation, the organization's first to an individual layman, was for " Christian Leadership in an Age of Rebellion." Significantly Coach Wooden said this award meant more to him than all the acclaim he had received as the man who won 10 national championships. "Basketball is not the ultimate," he says, "it is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is · only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is one that places faith in the hands of the Savior."

John Wooden concluded his 40th year as head coach with an 885-203 win-loss record (a percentage of 813) unequalled in the annals of coaching history. His Bruin teams won 10 NCAA titles in the past 12 years, including seven consecutively. Wooden teams won 38 straight NCAA tournament games, one of sports' most amazing win streaks. In addition

Coach Wooden's teams rang up 88 straight victories and four perfect 30-0 seasons. One record of which John is most proud is the total of 16 conference champions which he has coached.

His honors as player and coach are numerous : All-America at Purdue; college basketball "Player of the Year", 1932; Big Ten Medal for Proficiency in Scholarship and Athletics; All-Time All-America Basketball Team, Helms Athletic Foundation; National Basketball Hall of Fame both as player and coach; California "Father of the Year", 1964; College "Coach of the Year" six times; Friars Club "Coach of the Century", 1971; National Urban League Award for Humanitarianism, 1973; UCLA Hono "Alumnus of the Year", 1973; and First Dr. James Naismith Peach Basket Award outstanding contributions to basketball, 1 Born in Martinsville, Indiana, in 1 Wooden received All-State prep honors while leading his high school team to one state title and two runner-up spots. At Purdue his t waiting chores at the Beta house helped financially as he was All-America for years and captained the Boilermakers to NCAA title in 1932. Shortly after graduating from Purdue he married his charming wife, Nell. He began his teaching career in Dayton ; Kentucky, High School and then returned to Indiana and Central High School, South Bend.

John Vaughn, Industrialist and Public Servant

by Theodore W. Leavitt Minnesota '26

VVhen John Vaughn was pledged to Gamma Nu at UCLA in 1927 and became Number 95 on the Chapter Roll, he became an active leader in that chapter and in the campus life of that time. He served as chapter president, a class officer and was active in many campus activities. John has followed this pattern in his later life and today is regarded as one of the best known industrialists and public servants in the Los Angeles area.

As John told us, "Beta had a tremedous influence on my life and I have always regarded my membership in Beta as a privilege It has been a source of pride and stimulation to me " And this has been reflected in his long Beta activity and his service to UCLA during the next forty years. He has served as president of the Southern California Beta Alumni Association for two terms and has long been an active participant in various Beta activities in this area. John began serving UCLA in the late forties as a member of the Finance Committee, later becoming chairman of it. And he served as president of the Council in 1957 and 1958, also becoming by this office an exofficio regent of the University of California, where he rendered valuable service to the largest educational institution in the United States.

John Vaughn's business career started out in the period of the Great Depression, where John affiliated himself with the paint industry on the West Coast in 1932 . Beginning in the credit department of National Lead Company, John branched into selling and management in 1937, when he joined Sillers Paint Company , a regional manufacturer . By 1946 John was president and general manager of this firm and

he began the development of Sillers famous California Colors - the most successful paint promotion plan of the 1950 ' s Finally John sold the firm to Benjamin Moore & Company, merging Sillers into the national firm . During the 1960's, Vaughn purchased the Dartell Laboratories of Los Angeles , which he later merged into International Chemical and Nuclear Corporation.

From 1970 thru 1975 John has devoted his business time to finance, becoming a member and director of Crocker National Bank and the Crocker National Corporation. In 1970 he was elected vice chairman of both the bank and the holding company until he retired from these positions in June 1974, altho still remaining a director for the bank. Here in 1975 John Vaughn remains partially active in business as a financial consultant and member of Coopers & Lybrand (a leading management consulting firm here) and is also director for Pacific Lighting Corporation , California Savings & Loan Association , and other business associations.

During the period f rom 1950 to 1975 , John Vau ghn was most acti ve in public serv ice other than serv in g his fraternit y and his alma mater John has been pr esident of the Los An geles Chamber of Commerce (1969), president of the Los An ge le s Clearin g Hous e Association (1973(Co n t inu e d o n pa ge 21)

Baird Selected For Greek Hall of Fame

The first three persons selected for the Fraternity-Sorority Hall of Fame are:

William Raimond Baird (Beta Theta Pi)

George Banta, Sr. (Phi Delta Theta)

Mary Love Collins (Chi Omega),

Those so honored were selected because of their influence on the entire Greek world Directors of the Hall of Fame Foundation who made the selections are: Harmon Ruleffson (Delta Sigma Phi) Exec. Secy ; K. Warren Fawcett (Beta Theta Pi) Exec. Treas; Roberta Abernathy (Delta Gamma) ; Stanley Fishel (Zeta Beta Tau) ; Zeke Loflin (theta Chi) ; James C. Logan (Tau Kappa Epsilon) ; Joseph Mancini (Sigma Alpha Epsilon); John Robson (Sigma Phi Epsilon) and Eileen Rudolph (Delta Delta Delta)

The HALL was first suggested by Baird who now has become the first to be honored with membership. Although the idea has been talked about for a number of years, it has become a reality due to action by Dr. Zeke Loflin of Theta Xi and the publication "Fraternity Insider ."

Citations referring to each of the selectees included the following information:

William Raimond Baird, Stevens 1878. He was the first researcher, compiler and publisher in 1879 of the history, facts and data about all fraternities and sororities (local , national and international) entitled " Manual of American College Fraternities" in seven editions from 1879 to 1915, known to everyone in the Greek world as " Baird ' s Manual. "

Baird was the original motivator of what became the National Interfraternity Conference. It was finally brought to fruition in 1909 by George Kimball of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The National Panhellenic Conference, originally conceived by Baird, was later started by Margaret Whitney of Alpha Phi in 1902.

George Banta, Sr. of Phi Delta Theta. He was the editor and publisher , from 1912 onwards, of the first and longest issued interfraternity

magazine, the quarterly Banta ' s Greek change [1912-1973). He gave direct aid to expansion efforts of several fraternities sororities He is credited with assisting D Gamma sorority to continue its life through growth in northern states.

Mary Love Collins of Chi Omega She is credited with bringing into being the present constitutional structure of the National Panhellenic Conference. This includes chapter and campus rules and restrictions pertaining to rushing and member selection. These rules have had a profound effect on the status and growth of sororities on many campuses.

During the summer of 1975, photographs and identifying nameplates for the first three selectees were placed in an area donated by S Alpha Epsilon in its Temple in Evanston, Illinois. It is hoped that this area will be kept as a permanent home of the Hall of Fame. The Temple is open daily with guide service.

The Foundation plans to nominate a few persons annually whom it deems worthy of recognition. These will include both living and dead persons and the sole consideration permitted for any candidate will be his or her past " material influence" upon all or some fraternities or sororities other than those of

the director voting. The executive secretary has announced that, in addition to those selected this year, those who came closest were Ida Shaw Martin of Delta Delta Delta and Samuel Eells of Alpha Delta Phi.

Tutor-in-Residence Program is a Success

Eight young Beta Theta Pi graduate students have completed service as our fraternity's first tutors-in-residence They are :

University of Alabama, David R. Wylie , Alabama ' 74

Duk e University, Michael J. Kulis, Syracuse '72

University of Iowa, Kenton K. Moss, Iowa '74 Michigan St ate University, Christos Petreas, Michigan State ' 74

Rutgers University , John M. Flynn, G.M.I. '69

University of South Dakot a, Larry H. Lovrien , Sou th Dakota ' 73

Syracus e University , Douglas S. Link, Ohio ' 74

Universit y of Tennessee, Gary D. Logston , East ern Kentucky ' 73

As outlined in the S eptember, 1974 Beta Magazine, a tutor-in-residence is simply a resident Beta graduate student of proven leadership and experience in successful Beta chapter life who has been selected to serve an undergradu ate chapter as " an academic and educational resource." Th e tutors have also

been responsible for monitoring the chapter management and operation. Each tutor has submitted three periodical "Chapter Status" ' reports analyzing 14 areas of chapter opera- : tions which include: scholarship, rushing, / pledging, pledge program, initiations, chapter meetings, finances, alumni relationships, relationships with the university administration, social program, campus activities, leadership development, athletics and Interfraternity Council (IFC) relationships.

The Tutor-in-Residence program includes a $1500 fellowship from the Founders Fund for each tutor, plus the chapter's agreement to provide, at its own cost, room and board for the Tutor-in-Residence for the entire academic year.

However, the first two requisites are a chapter ' s request for such assistance and an application from a Beta graduate student who is interested in such an experience and such an opportunity to serve the fraternity. None of the eight chapters mentioned above was assigned a Tutor-in-Residence unless it had (Continued on page 21)

tan Smithne of the World !Tennis Greats

by Thomas C. Fey Miami '68

!Stanley Roger Smith, USC '69, is one of the !best tennis players in the world.

Look at the record: winner, United States Open 1971; winner, Wimbledon 1972; winner, World Championship of Tennis finals 1973; No. 1 in the United States in 1969, 1971, 1972, )and 1973; No.1 in the world in 1972 and 1973, 1and member of the United States Davis Cup Team from 1968 to 1975.

Raised in California,, Smith attended the University of Southern California where he !was an All-American in 1966, 1967 and 1968. iAn active member of the Gamma Tau chapter of Beta Theta Pi, his non-tennis undergraduate )activities have been reported in this magazine )before (January, 1968). Upon graduating from college, he served two years in the United States Army being discharged in 1972.

Stan Smith's style of tennis may be characlterized as painstaking performance without Ifrills His serve is extremely powerful having been clocked at 136 M.P.H. during the 1974 United States Open at Forest Hills, New York. !He combines his power game and 6'4" 181 lb. 1frame with an ability to retrieve and effectively cover the court. Above all he is known as one of the finest sportsmen in the game of 1tennis today.

Married in November 1974 to the former Marjorie Gengler, No. 1 eastern woman player and former captain of the undefeated Princeton University tennis team, Brother Smith and his bride make their home at Sea Pines, South Carolina when not travelling on the international tennis circuit.

Tennis players have their ups and downs. 1974 and 1975 were not particularly good years for Stan Smith in comparison to others, though he won over $100,000 in prize money in 2 tournaments and did defeat the ranking No. 1, Jimmy Connors, in their only meeting during the season. But in the sports world of Beta Theta Pi, he is No. 1 in tennis and sports in general, and we know he will again be No. 1 in the world very soon. (Submitted by Thomas C. Fey, Miami '68)

Brown, Miami '26 . Wilbur, a past president of the association, has remained active in the organization, faithfully attends all its functions and is a willing volunteer whenever called upon.

Toastmaster-District Chief Richard H. Brown, Ohio '65, gave a short report on the state of his district and then called upon the presidents of the two local chapters to inform the brothers of their activities. Brother Brown then recognized William B. Gore, Ohio ' 59, who introduced the 15 brothers from the Akron Association who accompanied him to the banquet.

Administrative Secretary Peter Barnhart was introduced and gave an excellent presentation on Beta Goals '77, supplemented by slides. All of the brothers are deeply appreciative of Brother Barnhart taking time from his demanding schedule to address our association His visit will surely enhance contributions to the Beta Leadership Fund and the Founders Fund.

With all due respect to our guest speaker , the highlight of the banquet was the presentation of an award to the person in w hose honor this year' s banquet was dedicated, Charles H. Wagner, St. Lawr e nce ' 04, 75 years a Beta! Brother Barnhart presented Charlie with a beautiful Beta Coat of Arms plaque as a token of our Association's esteem. Charlie accepted the award as he accepts all things in life graciously and with dignity and respect.

Charlie was not the only Fraternal Fifty at the banquet. Twelve other members of the select golden circle were present and were 24

given much deserved recognition by the assembled brothers.

It was a great Beta Day and one which th e Cleveland Betas will long remember. The Alumni Association is now doing preliminary planning for the annual New Year's Eve Luncheon and the Sweetheart Luncheon. An y questions concerning the organization will be gladly answered by Rick Brown (call 1-216696-5200). (Submitted by Richard H. Brown, Ohio '65)

Union Alumni Hold f\nniversary Telephone Reunion

On March 5, 1925, nine Union freshmen were received into Nu chapter in Schenectady, New York. On March 25, 1975 six of the seven survivors of that group were connected by a telephone conference call to mark the 50th anniversary of their initiation.

Leland G Dewey, Seneca Falls, N.Y., John H. Free, Delmar, N .Y., Guy Payne, Jr. , Hyde Park, Vt ., Lawrence H. Van Dyck, Chappaqua, N.Y., James M. Hanley, Jr., Palo Alto, Calif ., and Glenn B. Coulter, Boynton Beach, Fla., adjusted quickly to the surprise of the occasion and enjoyed a rapid exchange of vital statistics.

Only Clifford W. "Bud" Connell who is still

active in his unique form of advertising and paper business in Reading, Pa., could not be reached for the conversation. When he received an account of the conference call he promptly reported to the other brothers by mail.

There was a little confusion before all six realized that each brother was speaking from his own home. Then the Beta banter began! Soon we could recognize each other's voices. A really exciting and delightful occasion. Since, scattered as we are, we could not "let hand grip into hand and eye look into eye" this was a satisfying next-best. Other class groups might enjoy a like experience. (Submitted by Leland G. Dewey, Union '28)

The Beta Theta Pi I September 1975

year. The organization monitors and reviews chapter and General Fraternity matters and trends on the college and university campuses throughout the United States.

Western Ontario Alumni

Delta Alpha alumni have experienced a very good year culminating in a large turnout at the Beta Ball. The Alumni Association was re-organized a year and a half ago and our financial situation improved as the result of two fund drives. As usual the success of these drives requires the cooperation of many Betas . We thank all those who contributed their time, money and new addresses . As the Alumni Association is sendin g out a newsletter to notify brothers of the various events being held it is hoped that updated addresses will continue to be sent to the active chapter house.

Our first social event of 1974 was a barbecue-swim party held in July at the home of Penny and Charles J. Forret, '69. We certainly had a great turnout and the chance to renew friendships over good food and drink clearly enhanced the day. The only sad note of the

Robert E. Gross MiAmi '32

day was that " Chuck " Forret picked up the wrong glasses and could not see. Those of us who know our host realize how prone he is to do this when partying. We all appreciate the hospitality of our hosts and hope to return .

Our next get-together was a cocktail party prior to the Beta Ball at the home of Barb and Larry M. Saunders , 70. The alumni turnout was great and the hospitality certainly started us off on a great evening.

The Alumni Association wishes to congratulate the active chapter on a fine evening. The setting in the Thames Valley Golf Club house with the picturesque Thames River flowing beside the club house enhanced the warmth within. The Ball had one of the largest attendances in recent alumni memory and the enthusiasm displayed by all certainly attests to the strength of Beta at Western Ontario . It is our hope that more alumni will attend not only this yearly function but also the other social events that the association is planning in the upcoming months

Should any Beta alumni wish to forward their addresses and those of other brothers to the Alumni Association , please send them to : Warren R Wolfenden, 801-550 Berkshire Drive , London, or to the Beta chapter house care of the Alumni Association. The present Alumni Association executives are : Warren Wolfenden , president; Larr y Saunders , vice president and Gregg R. Lowry , ' 70 treasurer.

Houston Alumni

The Houston Alumni Association provided 29 panelists for the first annual "Career Information Program " at the University of Houston this past spring. The program totally sponsored by the alumni of the 12 Greek letter fraternities on campus, is a campus-wide

event , designed to give the undergraduate first -hand ex posure to recent graduates in a seminar sty le settin g so that they can secure pract i cal information on career choices, entry level positions , chance for advancements and salary ranges for specific degree majors Attended by more than 500 undergraduates, the students in a past-career day poll overwhelmingly (91 % ) stated that they secured valuable information In addition to being a worthwhile project, the program provided the fraternity s y stem with ex cellent campus-wide exposure.

The Houston alumni, under the leadership of its chairman , John A. Graml, SMU '62, and members of its executive committee such as Lynn C Woods , Tulane '59, P. Frank Steed, Jr., Texas ' 57, and many others have provided constant support to Beta's newest colony at the University of Houston.

The Career Day program, advisory and financial support and other contributions by the Houston alumni will continue to be a large "plus" in the growth of the Houston colony. (Submitted by John A. Gram], SMU '62)

Whitman Alumni

In April Gamma Zeta (Whitman) held its annual Alumni Banquet. Inspired by new ideas on alumni affairs gained at our recent Beta '75 Leadership Workshop, the brothers approached this social event with tremendous zeal. We were delighted by the results, as measured by the attendance of numerous distinguished alumni, including the irrepressible Chester C. Maxey , '12, who delivered the keynote address which was enjoyed, and certainly remembered, by all.

Th e highlight of the evening was the presentation of Fraternal Fifty cards to several of our brothers, whose enthusiasm and support are a constant tribute to the longevity of our fraternity. In all, it was an extremely pleasurable evening, during which actives and alumni were able to exchange ideas and cement relationships, abetted no less, by the sumptuous fare prepared by the chapter. The actives of Gamma Zeta would like to take this opportuni t y to thank our alumni for their continued support.

We w ish to direct the attention of our alumni to our forthcoming Diamond Anniversary Celebration in 1976. We extend an open invitation to all our alumni , and to all Betas to visit our chapter , especially during this auspicious occasion . Information on our Diamond Anni v ersary Celebration can be obtained from President David F. Jones, '76, Beta Theta Pi, 925 Isaacs, Walla Walla , Washington 99362. (Submitted by Anthony M.

rthe Readers Write

My dear Brother Fawcett:

Today my April 1975 Beta magazine arrived at "ho me plate" and needl ess to say, I was " bowled over" to read the comment on page 360, (which is the understatement of the year for me]

Beta Theta Pi and Pi chapter have meant more to me than any organization I was privileged to join in my life. In fact I have always felt a sense of debt to " Father Wooglin" which I was unable to repay I was fortunate to attend several educational institutions in my lifetime, but none of them had the enduring impact on me that Beta Theta Pi and Pi chapter accorded me.

All the wars and national confusion which I have witnessed would never have come to pass if human beings lived up to the ideals of our fraternal organization.

I still get the same thrill from the Beta magazine I received when I first became a son of "Woogli n "

With every good wish that our fraternity and its excellent magazine may continue to prosper, I am, with high regards,

Sincerely in - kai -

Dear Brothers in Beta Theta Pi:

Your letter congratulating me on my 87th birthday gave me great pleasure. And to learn that my 66 year membership is a near record in Beta annals is a real thrill. Now I am hoping that my regular anniversary on February 29, 1976 will mark a n ew distinction.

Beta Theta Pi has been very good to me I wish that I had been as good to the fraternity. The "50th Year" gift of the magazine keeps me up to date on membership activities. It's a great publication which I thoroughly appreciate.

My special thanks to the author of the letter. He ' s a thoughtful and observant man - a kindly Beta Brother.

Best wishes to you all.

Yours in- kaiHugh H. Goodhart Penn State '09

time I was managing the Montgomery Ward store in Denver and had lunch with him every week when Denver Betas gathered at a large table in the Denver D.G. Co dining room I have happy memories of the fine group of Betas in Denver at that time.

just as Dusty 's climb up the merchandising ladder brought him to the top in his field, I too enjoyed success in my climb and became a vice president in a large A.M C. store organization.

Dusty's progress came later with A.M.C. Knowing him at the start of his career, it was evident that h e would attain the success he earned. Too bad his heart could not keep up with his enthusiasm.

I enjoy the Magazine and will always regret that Lambda Rho chapter succumbed to too much Robert Hutchins at Chicago .

Yours in- kaiHerman B. Van Velzer, Chicago '21 Tryon , N .C.

Dear Brother Barnhart:

Little do you know how surprised I was to receive the friendly greetings on my 88th birthday from your office in Oxford, Ohio! Ever since I have carried your letter in my pocket to read to friends. Among the over fifty cards of congratulations that I received , yours was most unexpected and unique.

The Beta blood I have must be good, for although twice " retired ," I still report daily to an office where I have been employed for 25 years. Other occupations include 25 NAY 30 years of teaching in Los Angeles; on the ninth of May I met with teachers retired from john Marshall where I spent my last 18 years of teaching

Thanks for offering to assist me in any way. I seem to weather the years better than most Among my cards is one from a former classmate when we were students at Hebron Academy , graduating in 1905. Then when at Bowdoin, I decided to try a little teaching in the spring of 1907 so, at sixteen dollars a week, you might have seen m e as principal of the then Dennysville High, handling all subjects for four years with two grades thrown in.

I am sure you've heard enough of my chatter but I just could not resist a nswering your thoughtful letter just like a BETA!

Yours in- kaiRobert W. Messer Bowdoin '09

To the General Treasurer Dear Brother Wachs:

I have your letter of May 15 and I am enclosing herewith my check for $100 payable to the Beta Leadership Fund.

I was 85 years of age on my birthday, April 4, 1975, and I probably will not be around too much longer but I will be glad to give support as long as I live. Beta Theta Pi meant much to me while at the University of Oklahoma and I have enjoyed it ever since.

Sincerely your in - kaiJohn Rogers, Oklahoma ' 14 Tulsa, Ok .

To the Editor :

You are doing an excellent job carrying on the fine tradition of Beta Theta Pi's outstanding publications.

The purpose of this note is to let you know how much I enjoy receiving and reading each current issue of the first college fraternity magazine.

I have long speculated that the fine character molding done by Beta Theta Pi has very probably resulted in an unusually large number of our members having made contributions to our society that would be recognized by Who ' s Who in America . If any study has been done indicating the number of Betas listed in Who's Who and particularly if a comparison is provided to other fraternities, I feel that it would be of sufficient interest that you might want to give consideration to publishing that information in som e future issue of The Beta Theta Pi.

Keep up th e good work.

To the Editor:

The April 1975 issue brought me the sad news that Warner B Rhoads , Colorado '38, passed away on September 4, 1974.

I first met " Dusty" when he was employed at Denver Dry Goods Co. on a merchandising activity. At that

Editor's note: In 1950·'51, the late Thad Byme, while editing the Beta magazine, compiled a list of Betas in Who's Who. At that time there were 905 members listed - more than those of any other fraternity.

The Beta Leadershi _p Fund

cord $59,504 has been contributed to the Beta Leadership Fund so far in 1975 . This is an increase of 12% over

last year.

In response to General Treasurer James S Wach's letter in February, over 4,126 Betas have responded with donations ranging from $1.00 to $125.00. In his letter sent to 66,244 brothers throughout Beta's Broad Domain, Brother Wachs explained the opportunity for each brother, active or alumnus, to be a part of the re-dedication to our original Beta purposes through . participation in the BETA GOALS '77 program.

These goals as presented in the middle 12 pages of the June 1975 Magazine concentrate on growth in the number and quality of our chapters, individual chapter size, and increased percentage of pledges initiated; they aim at achieving financial responsibility for all chapters; and concentrate on scholarship and alumni organization.

Leaders are needed to reach these goals, and that is where the Beta Leadership Fund applies. Since that February letter, 34 chapters and three colonies sent a total of 350 members and advisors to two highly successful leadership workshops held in the Southeast at Georgia Tech University and in the Northwest at the University of Washington at Seattle. Also with BLF support, colonies at Arizona State University and the University of Houston have been established following the chartering of the 105th chapter of Beta Theta Pi at University of California at Irvine .

·Further, thanks to the Beta Leadership Fund, more than 90 outstanding freshman initiates attended the 1975 General Convention as part of the continuing concept of developing future chapter leaders through direct exposure to the operation of the General Fraternity.

All of these Beta Leadership Fund programs are scoped to improve the leadership of the

Beta Theta Pi undergraduate chapters.

The General Fraternity sincerely thanks those who have contributed to the Beta Leadership Fund and hopes that more members will consider sending their contribution to the Beta Theta Pi Administrative Office, 208 East High Street, Oxford, Ohio 45056.

A final report and listing will be printed in the January 1976 issue of the Magazine.

Southern California ' s brilliant sprinter, Joe Bottom, sped to a new Beta record in the 50 free with a 20 11 and first place in the NCAA finals as USC repeated as national champs . In the National AAU Meet Joe blazed to a 1:39.67 in the 100 free style, just a few kicks off the Beta record A world class swimmer and only a sophomore, Joe already ranks with the best in a long line of Beta and Southern California finmen He recorded two other excellent marks in the NCAA championships, 44.60 for a second place finish in the 100 freestyle and a 49 .44 in the 100 butterfly good for seventh place.

Ir w inning the 1974 NCAA 400 IM Steve set , new Beta mark of 3:57.80.

Two up-and -coming Southern California swimmers must be added to the list of Trojan stars. Greg Womble and Rod Stewart both made their marks as sophomores.

To Peter W C. Barnhart :

Your kind and thoughtful note came as a verl sp ecial surprise. That the National Fraternity waul! recognize by 89th birthday was something special. I is one of those unexpected kindnesses beyond the cal of duty, so the much more appreciated. It is mort than my chapter did I have been out of touch fm som e time I can only blame myself and not No chapter. For many years I kept my ties with Beta, bu· then I b ecame negligent. What you have done renew: the t ie s and the fraternal fellowship. I think this i! just what is ne eded to renew the fraternal ties. There has b een something lacking in recent years and I com· mend your interest and efforts to promote fraterna l interest. It is so much needed in this present im· personal time.

Thank you again. I b ec ame a Beta in 1906 nearly 70 year s ago.

Yours in - kaiEdward B. Irish Union '1 0

AUBURN

With the start of a new school year, we at Delta Zeta anticipate a continuing growth in our bond of Beta brotherhood. After a full year in our "new" house, we can see only greater things in store for us. Again, we would like to thank those who made

last year a most productive one.

As we look back at last year ' s accomplishments, a sense of satisfaction is found with each brother Perhaps our most gratifying accomplishment was our winning of the AOPi Achievement Trophy This award is given annually to the Auburn fraternity which ex hibits the most outstanding characteristics in all phases of fraternity life.

Accepting th e AOPi Achievement Trophy for Delta Zeta c hapter at Auburn are (I. to r.) Charles Tatum, '75; Layn e Carruth, ' 76 and Gary McClanahan , '78. The AOPi Award is given annually to the one of 30 fraterm!Ies at Auburn which displays the most o utst a ndin g characteristics in all phases of fratermty life.

Several accomplishments of Delta Zeta include h aving seven of the 18 section in the 1974-75 G/omeroto , Auburn ' s y earbook , mcludmg editor-in -chief, Douglas Langley, '75. Other editors in the "Beta Book " include; art director, Timothy Ha r grove , '75; photographic manager, Char les Tat um , '75 ; student life, Gary McClanahan, '78 ; b rothers and sisters, Howard King, '76; s p orts, Scott Crawford, '7 7; and index, Russell Parker, ' 78

Besides activity spent on student p ubl icat i o n s, t wo o f o u r brothers were elected t o offices in t h e spri n g elections They were: senator from t h e Sc ho ol of Engineering , W . Layne Carruth, ' 76, a n d p res id ent of the Graduate Schoo l, Doug Langley

A lso, two of ou r brot h ers were tapped for Squires, the sop h o m o r e hono rary for men - Gary McC la n a h a n and " Ru s t y" Park. On the li ghter side, we are e qu a ll y proud o f Br o th er A . Bre n t Co n we ll , '75, f or hi s top fi ve fi n is h in the Kappa Kappa Ga mm a spons o re d "Mr. Ugly" contest.

Ball State, in which the Betas placed second overall in one of the fastest races in many years. The brothers welcomed back many Delta Iota alums ' for the May 3rd event. The team of W. Dean Glascock, '77, Jeffrey Sailor, '7 6, Richard Hallick, '75, Thomas Rector, '76, and Mark Phillips, '75, obtained the pole position for the race with the fastest team qualifying effort.

In other intramural sports, the Delta Iota Betas fared well, taking first place fraternity division in three-man volleyball; and third place in swimming and six-man volleyball. In the annual IM track meet, the Betas finished 2nd place overall in a close contest.

Delta Iota Betas also participated in varsity athletics. Thomas Warfel, '75, served as captain of the 1975 Ball State tennis team, and Fred er ick Forst, '77, is an up and coming star of the Ball State volleyball team. Richard Kutche , '75, as a star defensive player for the Ball State football squad, accepted a World Football Leagu e contract with the Memphis Southmen.

Delta Iota saw many house improvements throughout the year. Several rooms were repainted, some new furniture was bought or donated, and a new chain fence was put in along the driveway. The recreation room was completely remodeled with new paneling, new ceiling and new light fixtures. If the brothers' enthusiasm continues to rise , and with the continuing help of our housing corporation and alumni association, hopefully many more improvements will take place this year, including the purchase of a new carpet and the construction of a basketball court in the back yard. The brothers living in the house during the summer made many needed house repairs.

With the change in IFC rush procedures, all brothers were expected to contact prospective pledges among the incoming freshmen in their individual hometowns during the summer. We are confident that we can have a rush program as successful as the one last fall, led by David Jarrett, '74, and H Joe Rayle , '77, which yielded 22 new initiates.

The newly elected officers for the 1975-76 school year are Gary Enders, '77, treasurer; Rexford Caudill, '76, athletic chairman; Daniel Sharpe , '77, historian; Steven Wilson, '76, social chairman ; Mark Milo, '76, and R. Douglas Herge , '7 8, hous e managers; Gerry Watkins , '7 6, alumni secretary; Jeffrey Sailor, '76, corresponding secretary; Ross Elwood, '76 , recording secretary ; and Michael Lambert, '78, scholastic chairman. Many Delta Iota Betas traveled to the 136th General Convention at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Our Sophomore Fellow was Myron King, '78, and our chapter delegate was Randall Pond, '76 , with Thomas Grove, '76 , as alternate.

The brothers of Delta Iota began the 1975-76 school year with hopes of continued success in the areas of finance, athletics , and especially spirit. We hope to make amends for our past mistakes and be ever prosperous in the future.

Summer term came a gain to Beloit College. And while being the beginning of a season in Wisconsin, it was also the beginning of a new era for our chapter. Many of the brothers from our most recent and most abundant pledge class of the past few years joined us, living in the house for the first time. Summer term not only provided us with some badly needed blood , but also began to melt social barriers and fuse new bonds as well. For the first time in a number of years, we have a large, vital , and d yna mic group of actives who are r e storing life to Chi chapter .

Summ er term we elected the following leaders to dir ect us in our summer agenda: George Nezlek, '75, president; Thomas Woods, '75 , vice president; Scott Singer, '7 8, treasurer; Gerald Grimes, '7 8, rush chairman; Jeffr ey Rankin, '76, pledge trainer; Christopher Knowles, '78, and Theodore Binhammer, '78, social chairmen; and Brother Knowles and John Cooper , '7 8, house managers.

We are now (that is, at the time this letter is being written] planning a campus-wide party for May 31st, and thanks to the hard work a nd creativity of Brother Knowl e s , this party will not be just a dance, and it will not be just a party with free beer, but it will also be a party where we will be selling grill-roasted pork sausage.

We are also looking and working towards our annual Beta Day on June 21st when we will host our alumni in koi for cocktails and dinner . This is one of the great yearly events of our calendar Sadl y, although this term marks the beginning of new life for our chapter, a small life has left our chapter. Elmer, our canine mascot since the early 1960's, died after b eing struck by a car on Ma y 19th, h ence ending an era. In his long life Elmer saw more of Chi chapter and was as much a part of our house as any good member could hope to be.

BETHANY

Last year was highlighted by the initiation of 26 men, the largest class ever admitted into Psi chapter. Douglas Peter (Recon] Stein , '78, was the recipient of the Outstanding Pledg e Award, receiving the number 1091. He , along with Brother Charles "Tag" Wilson, '76 , attended the annual Beta General Convention at Mackinac Island · in Michigan this past summer.

The brothers returned to the Beta house in midJuly for the 3rd annual summ e r party. It was a ' smashing ' success as the brothers ate, drank and danced to the music of the " New Riders ". As usual - 'A good time was had by all.'

The brothers of Psi chapter are already thinking in terms of 'rush'. All campus parties and other activities such as the b ee f roast, Fall Ball , and freshman parties are being planned

The intramural cup looks so nice in our trophy case the broth ers are determined to win it for the sixth year in a row. We are already beginning pre-season football practice and working to get in s hap e for cross-countr y . The cup has only been

BRITISH COLUMBIA

Although sprin g term at Gamma Omicron was mainl y t ak en up by final exams , it still proved to be a ver y e v entful period. ,

The final m ee ting of the spring term involved the installation of the new ex ecutive and a special vote of appreciation is in order for last year ' s executive who had an outstanding year in leading a relativ ely young chapter. Special thanks are extended to Brother Ronald W . Tysoe, '76 , who, as chapter president , spent endless hours on chapter affairs. He was a most worthy recipient of the Outstanding Beta Award which is given to the brother of Gamma Omicron who has made the most noteworthy contribution to the enhancement of the chapter and who also maintains a high level of academic achievement. The past year was a very successful one for the brothers of Gamma Omicron and I hope that the tremendous spirit within the chapter can be carried on by the new executiv e under the presidency of Brother Leslie DeBow, '77

In mid-March the chapter ' s annual formal was held. All the brothers and their dates had an excellent time . I was personally pleased to see that several alumni attended the event Special credit goes to Brother Darrell E Rea , ' 75, who did a superb job as formal chairman.

Fireside Night , which gives an opportunity to families of Betas to see the house and meet the chapter members, was another successful event, thanks to the Mothers' Club

The academic y ear closed with our annual Beta Master's Golf Tournament. Despite the poor w eather, all the brothers had an enjoyable time. Th e following day the final party of the year was held. The house was nicely decorated and during breaks in the music , slides taken throughout the year were shown. Special credit for this event to Brothe r Gordon S. McFetridge, ' 7 7 , social chatrman.

A_s in pr evi ous years Betas continued to shine m mtramural sports Everybody deserves to be congratulated on his participation which made a fifth place finish possible in overall intramural standings Special congratulations are extended to Sidney A. Winsby, ' 76, for being the Outstandt?g Beta in in t ramural athletics

Congratulations are in order for Brother Howard

A . Caldwell, ' 76 , upon his marriage, and to Broth! Da r yl G. Keeling , ' 75, on being the worthy recip

The acti v e chapter wishes the Betas who grad\ ated last y e ar every success in their future er d e avors and we all hope that they will take a active role in the fraternity as alumni.

With the end of final exams, the brothers de parted for various summer jobs. However, th chapter was not inactive during the summe months because Brother Warren Roberts, '7 ; sports chairman, reserved a park for one nigh e ach week throughout the summer for the brother to get together for various types of sport. Severa brothers graciously donated their homes for sum mer rush functions which were organized Brother William Pedlar, '77, rush chairman Spirit and optimism are tremendously higl within the chapter This 1975-76 school year a Gamma Omicron is indeed looking bright. All thf brothers are looking forward to an eventful an n fulfilling year. (Dougal B. Shewan, '78, Correspond· in g Secretary)

CALIFORNIA

Once again the Omega chapter of Beta Theta Pi was saddened by the academic year drawing to a close. Our outstanding academic record remained unblemished regardless of all the extracurricular activities which we were engaged in. One such activity was our infamous Viva Zapata week. The week started with our effort at rivaling the canoeing expertise displayed in Deliverance as we shot the rapids of rampant Russian River. After many flips and hair-raising curves in the river, we were all thankful that Brother Kevin Brogan , '76, survived the wreck that totaled and drowned his rented canoe After the day at the river , the drive home proved almost as thrilling for some of us.

The week ended in our huge Zapata party which took weeks of prior preparation and decoration. Much thanks goes to Brother Stewart Randall ' 76, for all the effort he put into the week. '

Our spring quarter brought us four pledges, three of whom plan on continuing their football careers for the Bears. They are awaiting pledge quarter just as anxiously as the actives a re. Having had 14 graduating seniors, this year's fall rush ought to be quite a good chance to pick up some future Betas .

vigorous and thrilling elections, James P. Retlly, 76, and Kevin Brogan won the offices of president and vice president respectively. The other newly elected officers ought to combine to form a strong and unified cabinet.

Once we would like to express our deepe.st apprec1atwn to our gracious alumni association. They completely revamped our bathr ooms at great expense, and provided the wood for our greatly needed and used "Beta Beach". Thank you for all your support. (Dave

Parker, Secretary)

The Beta Theta Pi I September 1975

the Delta Sigma chapter would like to offer ur sincere thanks to the brothers in Beta Theta 'i who made our installation possible. Although ve have been on campus a short time, we have [ained, and will continue to hold a certain pres· ige that no other organization at UCI has ever ;eld thus far. It is this that we owe to you our irothers, and to our present president, Craig 0. '77.

Spring quarter was a very exciting one. In addi· :ion to the Greek Week activities, such as skate· Joard races, beach parties, and dances, we held 3xchanges with various sororities on campus. fhese exchanges were highlighted by entertain· ment offered by Daniel Perry, '78, and Larry Fisette, '77. We also participated in the highly successful innertube water-polo championships, which again Beta dominated . Our strong defense was led by rookie Thomas Alston, '76, and the offense by All-American, Robert Malone, '78 To top off the water-polo championships, we took our annual camp-out to San Clemente State Beach. This three-day activity offered pledges and actives the opportunity for sun, song and surf. So we hope as good a time as ours will be had by all brothers. (Ashley D. Kent, '78, Secretory)

U.C .L .A.

Many brothers of Gamma Nu returned early this fall to help our spring pledges with improvements on the house. It is in good condition and will be even better as we carry out plans for this term.

This year we are becoming increasingly active in the running of U.C.L.A . and have more men in both the student government and in the Interfraternity Council. This increased participation should be very beneficial to us.

We had some great parties in both the spring and summer Most memorable were the pledgeactive party, with the theme of past and present Hollywood, and the annual Alumni Banquet. We would like to thank our alumni for their attendance and support, and hope that even more can attend next year.

Again we did quite well in intramurals but are certainly not on top yet A notable achievement was Anthony A. Kafesjian's, '75, tie for intramural champion in golf. We are also proud of Joseph M Tosti's, '77, achievements in throwing the javelin for U.C.L.A.'s track team.

Spring semester we held our first annual Beta Theta Pi volleyball tournament and invited several of the fraternities at U.C.L.A. It proved to be a great way to strengthen our friendship with them. Thanks go to Glenn C. Leggs, '76 , and Robert V. Teeple, Jr., '78, for organizing the event. Incidentally, we came in second.

Three brothers that we are especially proud of this year are Michael A. Johnson, '78, Raymond F. Adams, '75, and Glenn C. Leggs. The chapter awarded Mike the William Freeman Award and Ray the Frederick Koebig Award. Glenn won a study grant which provides lessons with Curt Rohr, first cellist for the Los Angeles Philhar-

This fall we expect to have a strong rush with many activities planned The house will undoubtedly be filled to capacity and the coming year promises to be a good one . (W. Scott Downie, '76, Correspondin g Secretory)

CINCINNATI

Last spring meant many things to the men of the Beta Nu chapter of Beta Theta Pi - that is to say, such grindstone activities as spending Spring Break in the sunny South , intramurals, formals, the Kentucky Derby , and / or graduation. Of course , it would never be spring without a few brothers making that momentous decision to escort their heart ' s desire down the wedding aisle. This time , balls and chains were delivere d to Brothers Timothy Flenner, '75, Robert Joecken , '74, Douglas Looker, 76, and Duane Wiesman , '76. To these men and all oth er brothers we send congratulations and bid adieu

On the intramural circuit, the Beta Nu's fared well by capturing second place on the combined activity scale Kevi n Aker, '7 6, and his legs strode up to many firsts on th e track as did Steven Reeves, '77 , and his discus. In all, it would be accurate to sa y that the house supported the various teams throughout their respectiv e seasons with that undying enthusiasm so typical of

Mark H Paul , ' 77, newly elected president of Beta Nu chapter at Cincinnati.

Beta Theta Pi.

Naturally, with the advent of spring the time for new house appointments and not necessarily because th.e past d1d not give their all to the job, but it seemed hke a good idea at the time Brother Mark H. '76, was elected as our new president , succeedmg Thomas Cassady, '7 6. The other officers _t oo mention , but it looks like this_ w1ll carry on in the Beta trad_ihon m_ gmdmg the brothers and pledges in theu pursmts.

On campus, the men here seemingly "converged" on the various student groups and associations. The most noteworthy award was_ presented to the former senior class pres1dent, Brother Kenneth Moczulski, '75, as the most outstanding male Greek for the ' 74- ' 75 school year. Elsewhere , numerous men were 'tapped' into the Metro organization [student serv1ce honorary), the Cincinnatus Association, Interfraternity Council positions, and the Student Cabinet, not to mention the other offices that are hold-overs from the previous year.

Now, never lacking in sociability, spring came off with a bang. The chapter alumni held for _us its 85th annual Diagenese Banquet at the Cmcinnati Club; over 40 actives turned out for the annual canoe trip down the Whitewater River in neighboring Indiana; numerous luncheons and dinners for the Mother's Club and parents meticulously prepared by our new cook, Mr. Walter Dukes; and various street parties with other fraternities and sororities [naturally!) .

The outlook for fall semester looks tremendous, what with a fine rushing schedule being implemented by William J. [Jack) Fuller, ' 76, and a full house this fall quarter. Anyway, we at Beta Nu extend the best of wishes to all other chapters in their fall rush programs and all other endeavors in the name of Wooglin. (T. Jeffrey Davis, '77, Corresponding Secretary)

CLEMSON

The Delta Nu chapter of Beta Theta Pi experienced a year which proved to be quite fulfilling even though many of the high points of the year were balanced by some less rewarding low points. However, the last two .weeks of the school year were filled with the enthusiasm and Beta spirit which we hope will carry over into this year. Though graduation left us without several of our highest caliber brothers , the summer months were used as a period of preparation so that we are now ready to indulge in all upcoming events and are prepared to carry the load which was carried previously by those who graduated.

A large number of brothers attended summer school and the increased interest in scholarship has been quite rewarding as the fraternity grade point ratio continues to climb . We feel we are much more prepared for the '75-'76 year because the brothers at summer sessions reviewed past problems and made amends so that this upcoming year may be our most prosperous ever. We hope that everything learned at the Beta General Convention, by our representatives, can be used to

its maximum potential in our chapter because t convention is the origin of chapter developme

The football season here at Clemson is the big light of the social calendar, and this season w be no exception. We hope to see a large gath! ing of Betas from visiting schools at our hor games and I know many from our will be venturin_s to the varwus schools whi• we oppose on the gridiron each week.

Our fall rush will be one in which we will 1 particularly selective in the extending of a1 we hope to obtain a good number of the h1ghe quality rushees.

Delta Nu wishes the best of luck to all chapte and a cordial welcome is extended to all tho: who would like to visit our chapter. I hope th all chapters will encounter as great a year as \-1 are looking forward to experiencing. (Steven t Cox, '77, Corresponding Secretary)

COLGAT

The initiation of 34 men into our fraternity too place on Parents Weekend, May 3. The ceremom included a well executed cauldron scene, [wit special credit going to our Seven Spirits), and choir of several alumni and dignitaries Thl brothers, their parents and guests enjoyed th cocktail party and banquet which followed. Whil the pins had not been delivered in time for initia tion, they have since arrived and have been dis tributed. In all, the day will be well remetnberer by the new brothers, reminding them of the privileges and responsibilities as brothers or Beta Theta Pi.

It was good to see those Beta alumni who re turned in June for Alumni Weekend. All alumn1 are reminded that they are cordially invited visit whenever they are in the area. Recom ' mendations for incoming freshmen are valuable in coordinating our rush and would be appreciated as soon as possible.

A new cook, Mr. John Sawyer, was contracted to begin work in July. He lived in the house during the summer, while steward and vice president, Richard C. Hehre, '76, showed him the workings of the kitchen.

When the fall semester began the house was filled to capacity. Our new brothers are enjoying the unique lifestyle of the Beta house, always an experience no matter how it may change through the semesters. The veterans are renewing their academic and social careers, adding their valuable experience, recounting their past successes and "hurts". Those brothers who have chosen to live outside of the house will no doubt remain im· portant in the life of the chapter. The outlook is 1 optimistic fhat Beta Theta will remain an active and important part of the Colgate community [Jonathan N. Slater, '77, Secretary)

COLORADO COLLEGE

The Gamma Delta chapter of Beta Theta Pi was quite active over the spring term at Colorado College. For all practical purposes, the first event of the spring was a pledge party given in honor

f the actives. The party involved a pledge-active oftball game followed by a picnic and a dance. The pledge party was immediately followed by mass migration of some 30 Colorado College letas to the Kentucky Derby and a visit to the trothers at the University of Louisville. The enire trip involved two days in Louisville, including he Derby and a concert, and 30 hours of driving hrough Colorado Springs, Tulsa and Kentucky.

One week after the Kentucky Derby expedition, lie house - actives and pledges, visited the Lake :;eorge region of Colorado for the annual Beta :::ampout. The morale of everyone was very good iuring the two day trip in which singing, hiking, md swimming were the main activities. Following :he campout came the initiation ceremonies. As Jf May 11, 1975, 17 new actives entered into the Gamma Delta chapter at Colorado College.

Between the Kentucky Derby and campout, the actives and ·newly initiated members became b e tter acquainted. During the spring semester, the 'brothers worked together to paint the kitchen , complete the sun roof, and performed admirably in the intramural softball league. At the final meeting of the year the new officers were elected. They are: Reginald D. Francklyn, '76 , president; Richard B. Tickle, '76, vice president; S. Evan Weiner, '76, treasurer; and Pledge Samuel Allen, secretary.

In general, the house attempted to achieve goals such as self improvement in terms of social aspects, restoration of the building itself and a more active position in the Colorado Springs community. Hopefully, fall semester shall precipitate a resumption of the unique and positive ideas established last year (Pledge Samuel Allen, Secretary)

COLUMBIA

The spring semester at Columbia was a time of both great optimism about the future, and great tragedy.

The accidental death of Eben F. Crowder, ' 77, was a great blow to all the brothers of Alpha Alpha chapter. A fine brother and excellent student, Ben joined Beta last semester and had already earned the respect and high esteem of all who knew him. His untimely death came as a shock to all. Ben will be sorely missed

Sadly Ben did not live to see the end of our last pledge period which brought us three new brothers. James E. Mcloughlin, '78 , Ronald S Chen, '78, and Jerald L Reid, '78 We are sure that these three men will make fine Betas and are proud to have them in Alpha Alpha.

Initiation also saw a dinner sponsored by the alumni which provided an enjoyable evening for all Betas there, both past and present. The evening seemed to hold promise of increasingly close alumni-chapter relations, and a continuation of the excellent alumni support we have had up to now.

The house has also done well athletically. The Beta Bears were entered in all the sports that the college intramural program had to offer, thanks to the tireless efforts of our athletic director , Jan W. Wingate, '77 We did especially well in volley-

The Beta Theta PI I September 1975

ball finishing second. We look forward to an e v en better season this year.

Spring semester also saw the election of a new group of officers to lead Alpha Alpha. The y are: Richard Goldstein, ' 76 , president ; Thomas McLaren, '77, vice president; James Camparo , ' 77, recorder; and Jan Wingate, treasurer

We lost two men to graduation last year, Lawrence Trowbridge and David Arm Both men were inspirations to the chapter and played an important role in the rebuilding which has occurred in the last few years. Although both brothers will be missed, both plan to live in New York; so we do not doubt that we will continue to see a great deal of them

The future looks good at Columbia and Alpha Alpha is continuing to grow stronger This year holds the promise of being a very good year for us, and being a year of an even bigger and stronger chapter (Richard S. Allen, '78, Corresponding Secretary)

CORNELL

Spring semester , 1975, has now passed into history, but for the brothers of the Beta Delta chapter, the 1974-75 school year at Cornell has truly been a most rewarding and memorable experience in brotherhood and cooperation in both personal and fraternal endeavor. Beta Delta is truly in the midst of a great and sweeping change, which can only leave our chapter stronger, and more able to cope with future circumstances and events I shall depart somewhat from the more traditional report on personalities and chapter events of the past semester, and rather address this article to the alumni of Beta Delta , especially those of you who have been unable to visit the " Castle on the Rock " of late

Cornell has changed , and the situations of fraternity life have reflected that change . The brothers of the past few years have found it both necessary and desirable to formulate change from within our chapter, in order to insure the continued success of Beta at Cornell. First of all, the physical plant of Beta Delta has changed. Our chapter house has been extensively remodeled and refurbished in order to make it more livable and to comply with more stringent local safety and building codes and standards The actives have tak en the initiative, and have shown an extraordinary sense of resolve and coop e ration to realize these changes in our house. We have had to make vast and expensiv e hardwar e changes such as the installation of n ew el e ctrical wiring throughout the house , and a ne w hot water system. We have other su ch major tasks as a near total replacement of our plumbin g s y stem, and the expansion of our c entral he at in g to the third floor living area to attend to in t he not too distant future The brothers , and our last pledge class, have themselves transfigured the appearance of the main living areas o f our house We have plastered and painted worn w alls , and completely remodeled the "Great Hall". The entire first floor of the house, both inside and out has taken on a fresh new appearance due to the combined efforts of the actives . We shall be turning our

attention in the future to the kitchen and dining areas and later to the upper living. areas , and the which is in disrepair. .

In order to reorganize our efforts, and redJr.ect our energies to further strengthen our fratermty, we have found it necessary to our chapter officer rost e r into a more functiOnal and efficient form I , myself , am embarking on the first term of our newly secretary / alumni-secretary position. Th1s office IS now responsible for both chapter correspon?ence .and recording, as w e ll as handling alumm relati?ns and actively planning our course of commumcation with the alumni. We operate mo.re with the Stew a rt Howe Alumni Service m the planning of alumni and th.e brothers are now jointly responsible for the physical work involved in the mailing of and special announcements to. our alumm I.t IS our strong desire to reestablish good relations with our Ithaca area alums, and we have successfully enlisted the active support of several of them in our continuing efforts to make the Beta experience as all encompassing as is possible_,

We have had our most successful rush in recent years, again under a restructured rushing

The vice president's office has been combme.d with the former rush chairman position The traditional vice president athletic duties have been relinquished to the newly created athletic chairman. All changes have proven most successful. We are not only initiating larger pledge classes, but a renewed interest in deferred rush, which had previously been ignored, has consistently produced real results. (We got two men last year, and one man this year by deferred rush). The advantages of a full-time athletic chairman were obvious as we advanced to semifinal play in both ice hockey and softball. Although we did ultimately fall in the single elimination play-offs, we did field spirited and unified teams in all sports. It was a most enjoyable season for our house "jocks".

The house is operating under a new financial advisor, Bert C McCulloch , '70 Bert has worked to structure a new financial corporation, and a new board of directors headed by Robert J (Bob) Mendola, '71, was elected in a full meeting attended by 24 corporation members. As a result, the house now enjoys the counsel and support of a group of interested and dedicated alumni, who have greatly restructured the corporate financial structure to ensure more continuity of policy, and to make a more responsive office to which the actives can address their desires and more actively shape financial policy. Again, immediate results! We filled the house with tenants for the summer sessions, and this added revenue could help implement some needed repairs, or help to buy some new furniture for the house fall semester

We held an initiation camping trip at Connecticut Hill, outside Ithaca, spring semester instead of the traditional "Hell Week-end". Although this was a new experience for all concerned, it proved a most rewarding brotherhood experience for pledges and brothers alike. At the same time we reinstituted the defunct office of chapter historian in order to try to understand the changes which

had preceded us in the chapter, and to becon better educated and more closely related to tl past experiences of our chapter. It is proving most enlightening and popular endeavor, v have tried to reinstitute some of the old Idea into our formal initiation ceremony. It was a ve1 meaningful time for all.

Beta Delta has changed indeed! Where om there was much full-time hired help at work i the house, now there is a solid group of activE and alumni working together to make Beta on of the finest houses on the "Hill". We are still i the top five houses academically, and our rus and sports programs are ever gaining in notoriet and success We are proud of what we have ac complished together, and proud of the rich herit age of this chapter. We ask you to come up t• Ithaca, and Cornell and share in the proud Bet1 experience with us. You don't have to. wait unti Homecoming Weekend, although that iS an even you don't want to miss! Just drop in any time. can guarantee you a warm the company of a spirited group of enthusiastic Beta! as eager to share in your experiences as you an in ours This is Beta Delta 1975. (Harold J. Tom asofsky, '75, Secretary]

DENISON

As the second semester of 1975 came to a close, the Alpha Eta chapter reluctantly said good-bye to seven seniors who have served the house ex· tremely well. These men, Roland P. Ecker, '75, Richard T. Pope, '75, Andrew S. Hanen, '75, John W. Phillips, '75, David M. Hughes, '75, Frank ). DiTirro, '75, and Robert C. Davis, '75, have exhibited much leadership and have always steadfastly adhered to the ideals implored through Wooglin. With the loss of these seniors, we welcome 16 new initiates who joined the house on April 20, 1975. These men illustrated their devotion to the house as well as their closeness as a pledge class by volunteering to clean the house and amuse the brothers just prior to their initia· tion. These men should make a substantial contribution to the chapter, and add great internal strength to an already strong house.

The first weeks of the summer vacation began with some much needed repairs to the house. Spiritual and mechanical guidance were provided by Robert M. Hough, '76, who was completing his second term as house manager. A special thanks, as always, goes to David 0. Richards, '45, who as our alumni association treasurer secured the funds for the necessary improvements. Brothers Robert Meythaler, '76, Douglas Matthews, '76, and P. Steven Pendery, '76, also assisted in the repairs to the house.

As usual during the summer months, many of the brothers were busy preparing for the rigors of the fall sports season. Craig C. Lewis, '76, Robert D. Ford , '77, and William J. Mulvee, '77, should · all contribute to another successful Big Red soccer season . Among those returning to the gridiron are Bradley D. Blum, '76, Philip G. Mauro, '76, William H. Mason, '77, Jeffrey M. Sultzer, '78, and Pledge Douglas A. Devilbiss.

New student advisors for this year are Brothers

,fauro, R. Mark Lundquist, '77, Christopher Mc:inney, '76, and Brother Blum. They succeed the our brothers who served well in the dorms last ear. Brother Albert E. Bathiany, '76, is a head esident in Crawford Hall this year.

In campus activities, the Betas are again well epresented. Chapter president, Ernst Mahler, '76, viii serve as the Auto Court president; D. Jeffrey reland, '76, is president of the Denison Communty Association; Steven H. Hatlem, '76, and Mark ,nndquist were elected to the Registrars Advisory and Admissions and Financial Aid :ouncil respectively; and Mark Hersh, '76, and Hchard E. Krebs, '76, are serving on the Swasey :hapel Advisory Board.

Recent house elections placed Michael R. Mueler, '77, William Mason and Timothy J. Ross, '78, 1S rush chairmen. When this article appears in Jrint, plans for rush will just be moving into full iwing. The strength of our house, like any fra:ernity, is heavily dependent on a strong rush ·fJ rogram. Any Beta who knows of an excellent attending Denison should not fail to rwtify us of his presence. Under the guidance of our newly elected rush chairmen, we should again have another quality pledge class worthy of their predecessors.

As the summer began, it seemed like only yesterday that I accepted the pledge pin and responsibilities of Beta Theta Pi. We are lucky to have had such a fine group of seniors, as well as freshmen to inherit new responsibilities. Under these circumstances, I know for myself and the other members of my pledge class, we look forward to our senior year at Denison as one where the traditions of the Alpha Eta chapter will be continued as we inherited them, and as they have been at this chapter since 1868. (D.

a close second in the all-fraternity averages.

It will be a tough year with only 15 to 20 brothers returning for fall. The high attrition rate at D.U. coupled with our 10 graduating seniors has hurt Alpha Zeta. But we are ready with an outstanding rush schedule and a young and highly energetic house full of Betas .

An entirely new alumni association under the guidance of our extremely helpful District Chief C. Grant Wilkins, '46, has been formed. Denver has offered a bright future with the publication of a new alumni directory. We hope to reopen the slightly lost alumni support of days past and restrengthen the bonds of Beta brotherhood at the University of Denver. (James S. Wolf, '78, Corresponding Secretary)

DEPAUW

Delta chapter again displayed its usual team effort in finishing the 1974-75 academic year. The year was filled with many firsts.

Among the most notable accomplishments, Delta again captured the IM trophy for its overall play in nine IM sports. Particularly helpful in the chapter's efforts was its undefeated softball team. Key performers for the diamond squad were Brothers Raymond Bach, '75, John Kelly, '75, Thomas Boyd, '75, and Roger Hawkins, '76. Delta also turned in a strong second place performance in spring track competition.

Also gratifying was the selection of four brothers to Phi Beta Kappa. They were Brothers Brent Kusler, '75 , Tracy Ellis, '75, Robert Borgmann, '75, and Marcus Chandler, '76 .

DENVER

The Alpha Zeta chapter of the University of Denver has ended a very successful year and is looking forward to an exciting new year. The newly-elected officers, Mark B. Severson, '76, president; Thomas Walter, '78, vice president; Thomas Seay, '78, secretary; James Wolf, '78, treasurer; David Marsh, '77, social chairman; and James Kopka, '78, rush chairman are planning a very necessary fall rush.

With the closing of the school year the men of E!eta Theta Pi have again shown their abilities in athletics. After just finishing our baseball season in first place, in the "frat" league, the brothers have a very good chance of winning the award for being the number one fraternity in the major sports. It was not an easy accomplishment, but ' after hard work and brotherly co-operation we hope to achieve this goal.

The physical appearance of the interior of the house has changed quite favorably. With the hard work put in by our manager, W. Jay Hill, '77, many new changes adorn the inside of our Beta home.

Also the brothers of Alpha Zeta were glad to hear that the all-school GPA was below that of the "frat" averages, with Beta Theta Pi following

The Beta Theta PI I September 1975

Brothers David Krebs, '78, Robert Scully, '78, and William Benes, '78, were elected to the freshman honorary Phi Eta Sigma.

In addition to its fine academic and sports accomplishments, Delta chapter also initiated a trophy to be given to the individual on campus who helps the DPU intramural sports program the most. The award has been named in honor of the late Ralph Edward "Coley" O'Brien, '71, who died in an auto accident shortly after his graduation.

To help finance the O'Brien trophy, the chapter held a car wash in April which netted over $100.

In spring rush, the chapter pledged nine high school seniors.

In varsity sports action, the chapter was represented by Brothers C. Reid Walker, '75, William Slapke, '77, Gene Hochberg, '77, and Timothy Barry, '76. On the golf links, Brothers Craig Hutchinson, '78, Joseph Jessop, '76, and Thomas McShane, '77, participa<ed . In track, Brother Michael Kinney, '77, set the DPU discus record.

Also noteworthy was a testimonial dinner held by Delta chapter for its house , faculty and Financial Advisor Brother Joseph P. Allen III , '30, who is retiring from the DPU faculty after a lengthy career. Brother Allen will continue on at DePauw as a professor emeritus and will also continue his duties as an advisor to the chapter.

All in all, the year 1974-75 was most pleasing. The chapter wishes to close by saluting the class of '75 They are: Robert Allen, Ray Bach, Bob Borgmann, Tom Boyd, John Breck, David Buck-

ingham, Frank Clark , Craig Cleveland, Rodger Enander , John Kelly , Bren t Kusler, .Mark Miller , Tracy Ellis , Howard Patterson , Pluto and Reid Walker. (Charles E. Barb1en, 77, Corresponding Secretary)

EASTERN KENTUCKY

The brothers of Delta Xi concluded the spring semester with the initiation of four new members on April 25. We are proud to have these new brothers enter our ranks.

The Spring Formal was held at Jenny Wiley State Park near Prestonburg, Ke ntucky All the brothers who attended this annual event had an excellent time. A special thanks for th e success of the formal goes to Glen D. Tommie , ' 77

Intramural softball for Delta Xi was a disappointment. The team started out well but from there on had a miserable time. The soccer team had a good season finishing second in intramural action. Allen K. Gruner, '77, deserves special credit for his work with the soccer team

As the brothers of Delta Xi begin the 1all semester at Eastern Kentucky, we have a thorough schedule of activities planned. Our most significant event during the early part of the semester is the formation of a strong rush We wish to obtain an excellent pledge class so that we will be insured of strong leadership in future years. The brothers of Delta Xi are optimistic about the fall semester and see no reason why it will not be the best semester we have experienced yet. (John R. Wallingford, '77 , Corresponding Secretary)

EMORY

As spring quarter drew to a close, the brothers of Gamma Upsilon looked back over a very fine year We initiated nine out of 10 pledges winter quarter . Spring quarter we pledged two men; Philip Lee Puckett, Bartow, Florida, and Robert Wallace Campbell, Atlanta, Georgia.

The Betas at Emory are active on campus, with brothers on the newspaper staff, in the Glee Club , and in Ad Hoc Productions, a group on campus which performs musicals In sports, the brothers were able to field competitive teams in basketball, soccer , softball , and volleyball. Our teams enjoyed a significant degree of success above the teams of recent years. The house GPA is 3.08 on the 4.0 scale. We raised over $500 for Muscular Dystrophy and we came in third out of 15 in the Pike Bike Race for Dystrophy The brothers had a good time preparing and performing our Dooley's skit. The theme was take-offs on television shows

Elections were held and the following are the new house officers : Lawrence I. Preston, '76, president; David J. Engebretson, '77, vice president; Robert A. Norgard, '77, treasurer; David Kurtzman, '77, pledge educator ; Michael C. Dubin, '78, Corresponding Secretary ; Alan C Teplis, '78 , house manager; Joel P. Byrd, '78, recording secretary; and Keith R. Fredericks, '78, guard .

A number of our Atlanta area alumni were in-

vited to a party which was held in May. Tho> who attended were: Dr . and Mrs. James D. Kile , '63, Mr and Mrs Kenneth Grubbs II, ' 67, Mr. an Mrs Charles W. Delaney, '62, Timothy V. Gill, '7i Robert Piede, '72, Dr . Edward L. Askren III, '5 : Dr. Earl G Barton, Jr. , '59, Sturgis G Bates, '51 Robert M. Whitaker, ' 74, and Edward A Reetz, '7 : A newsletter will be forthcoming from th chapter to all of our alumni. We have sent ou who's who sheets and we hope that our alum will fill them out and return them.

The brothers are looking forward to a stron fall rush. For the first time in several years, room in the house will be doubled up because of th 1 increased chapter size . The brothers of Gamm Upsilon wish the best of luck to our graduatin1 seniors. (Michael C. Dubin, '78, Correspondin1 Se c retary)

FLORIDA STATE

Spring is traditionally a time for re -awakenin! and new life. So it was with the brothers of Delta Lambda. Spring quarter saw the initiation of six new men into the Beta brotherhood on May 25 , This is quite a benefit to the small Delta Lambda chapter, which now looks forward to a profitable future with these fine men. We didn't stop there, however , but pledged two excellent men eager to join our ranks.

Before I go any further, we are pleased to an· nounce the inception of an alumni newsletter Our appreciation goes to Christopher Brown, '70, Thomas K. Pritchett, Emory '68, and Robert R. Anderson, Dickinson '52, for their donations mak· ing the newsletter possible. Our alumni should have received a copy by the time they read this article ; if you haven't, please send us your ad· dress! We've been having trouble with address changes, and only you can help us there Spring also meant intramural softball, which to us meant frustration as our team, under head coach , Richard " Yogi " Brew, '78, and with W Arthur "The Human Man" Cusick, '76, guiding us from the mound, breezed to a 0-5 record. At season ' s end, still reeling from our last defeat, the pledges challenged the brothers to a game to determine the source of our somewhat lopsided record. The final score told the story, as the pledges edged the brothers 13-2. Seriously, we'd like to thank alumnus A. Alan Washington, '72, for his immeasurable support.

Due to the most gratefully appreciated efforts of Brother Richard A. Hallahan's mother, we were able to hold two parties in the clubhouse of Killearn, a housing community in Tallahassee. The culmination of the first was the formal pledging of the six men mentioned above. We also were given a fine slide presentation by Brother Art Cusick highlighting Delta Lambda activities.

The second party was a swim party; an idea well received considering the Tallahassee heat. That night we all climbed out of the pool for an eagerly awaited occasion: the world premier of a film by Brothers Art Cusick and Peter A. Glennon, '76. Though it may not win any oscars, it has been called "the best film these guys have ever

made."

Elections for new officers were recently completed. The new men and their offices are: Robert , W. Damelio, '76, president; Robert N. Levine, '77, vice president; Edward L. Culbertson, '77, treasurer; David C. Backus, '76, alumni secretary; George C. Butler, '78, corresponding secretary; Kenneth J. Jargowsky, '76, recording secretary; Clifford D. Wyllie, '77, historian-librarian; Peter A. Glennon, '76, pledge trainer.

Now the brothers of Delta Lambda would like to take a moment for some personal reflections. We must mention Brother Albert J. Lussier II, '76, · as our thoughts are always with him Brother , Lussier is studying in London, and while we know he is benefiting from the experience, we look ; forward to his return. We only lost one brother to graduation, but he will be sorely missed. We would like to say thank you and the best of luck to Brother William L. Cool, '75. And on a more sober note, we were saddened by the news that · Kenneth W. Sehon, '75, an alumnus of Delta Lambda, died recently in a barracks fire where he was stationed. Those of us who didn't know Ken certainly knew of him, as he was an excep' tiona! Beta in every sense of the word.

, As a final note, if you are vacationing in Florida ' · this year and find yourself in our area, please pay us a visit. We are eager to share the Beta experience with all of our brothers, and are proud of the Beta spirit at Florida State!

G. M .I.

, During the first week of June initiation was held for eight men. We are very confident this class will continue to keep the spirit of Delta Eta for years to come.

! 1 Baseball is undoubtedly the big activity this section Our first "A" section game led us to victory over Sigma Chi 11 to 5. Brother Kenneth Kleiber, '78, surprise pitcher from the outfield, has filled the gap Brother Albert Steurer, '75, only , graduated player, left open.

Congratulations go to Brother John N. Cavanaugh, '77, the new G.M.I. Student Council president. John has been involved with GMTE for this past year serving as head of Athletic Council. Also in office is Brother W. Paul Commons, '77, the new GMTE comptroller. Both positions add a ' big plus to our chapter.

Water skiing continues to be a relaxing sport as well as an important rush function. James , Clelland, '78, and Raymond Betham, '78, are now ski club officers for the school sponsored organization. Brothers Betham and Clelland are responsible for the ski club boat now across the street from us on Lake Fenton.

Greek unity couldn't be stronger as 12 fraternities and two sororities sponsored a party at Sherwood Forest. Brother John Moran, '76 , is a leader of the new United Greeks for Action. This new group has organized to promote rush, charity, and social functions.

Delta Eta's alumni organized a little tourney which was held in August. It seems as though our alumni are becoming more organized and doing more to promote our chapter than ever before .

I personally can't wait to graduate to get into this group. [James W. Blenman, ' 77, Secretary)

GEORGIA TECH

Characterized by strang spirit and restless energy, winter and spring quarters at the Gamma Eta chapter have been ones of high honor and fraternity unity. Scholastically, we ranked third a£ the 28 fraternities on campus for winter quarter . in winter quarter, our bowling team fought 1ts way to the fraternity championship, only to be defeated by 50 pins for the school championship. Spring quarter saw our paddleball team become the school champions for the tenth straight season. Most important, however, was the cowinning of the Interfraternity Council trophy, an award presented to the best all-around fraternity on campus. This makes the fourth time we've either won or shared this honor over the past five years We are proud of these achievements and are striving to expand them in the future.

New officers were elected midway through spring quarter. They are: Jerome J. Ferrari, '76, president ; Richard H. Wood, '77, vice president; Lawrenc e D. Young, '76, treasurer ; Charles R. Newberry, ' 76, pledge trainer; Richard L. Smith, '77, recording secretary; C. Dean Alford, ' 76, alumni secretary; and Michael H Hammer, '78, corresponding secretary. Also, seven new brothers were initiated into our growing chapter.

Our retirement party for Hattie C. Smith was held just before spring quarter ended. Thanks to the organizing efforts of Brothers C. D ean Alford , Jerome J. Ferrari, and Laurence 0. Trabue, Jr., '72, this proved to be a very memorable occasion for Hattie, as well as the alumni that attended. It made everyone there realize what a difficult task it is going to be to find another such as her to feed the Gamma Eta chapter. We would again like to thank all the alumni for their contributions to the Hattie Retirement Fund.

As spring quarter approached its conclusion, we began to prepare for the summer break and, more importantly, fall rush We ask that any recommendations for rushees please be forwarded to the attention of rush chairman at 764 Fowl er St. , N.W , Atlanta, Georgia. All alumni are cordially invited and encouraged to stop by "Little Tara" at their convenience. (Michael H. Hammer, '78, Corresponding Secretary)

HANOVER

Despite a quite succ e ssful year in the way of intramural athletics, scholarship and campus leadership, last spring the Iota chapter at Hanover College fell into troubled grounds concerning its relations with the coll ege administration. For awhile it seemed as though the class of 1975 would be the l ast class of Betas to graduate from Hanover. Hopefully, things have been somewhat resolved after much hard work on the part of a lumni and the active chapter

This fall brothers returned to a house with many needed improvements Much damage occurred to

the chapter house from water leaks following th e tornado of April 3, 1974. Due to a lack of capital and also due to a slow insurance settlement , much of the repair work was incomplete at the close of school last spring . Over the summer, however, workers were to be in the house completing the desperately needed repairs on ceilings , floors, etc.

The beginning of fall term is always a time of happiness over the rebirth of old friendships Hopefully the energy created at this time will help the brothers of Iota chapter get started off to a most successful year in all ways. (Samuel J. Petroff; '77, Corresponding Secretory)

HOUSTON COLONY

The University of Houston colony is off and running. What began in October 1974 as a meeting of three Beta transfers has now blossomed into a close-knit group of 11 active members With the help of numerous area alumni, this young colony has already found its place on the campus, and is growing at a most respectable rate. With a proposed 10-12 man fall pledge class the colony will soon be able to compete with the older, larger fraternities on campus.

Two men in particular deserve a great deal of credit for the colony's success thus far. Gregory R. Gebhart, Ohio State '76, presides as president of the co lony and provides the leadership to keep things rolling. John A. Gram!, SMU ' 62, chairman of the Houston Alumni Association, is largely responsible for laying the groundwork for the colony's establishment, and with the help of alumni treasurer, Frank Steed, Texas '57, has gathered the alumni support which forms the backbone of the colony.

Fortunate in that Greeks are well established on the campus, the colony has grown steadily, despite the organizational problems which evolve at a primarily commuter-student university. Many of the men work full or part-time also, creating more problems in getting everyone together. But if strength comes from adversity, then this colony is a case in point, for all 11 members have shown the strength and spirit to build a fraternity, and to keep it going.

The colony's social events have been remarkably successful, the most notable being a joint beach party on the Gulf with the Delta Rho chapter from Texas-Arlington. It was a memorable occasion when the men from chapters joined together in a show of brotherhood, singing the songs of Beta Theta Pi. The Beta Omicron chapter at Texa s is mother chapter and has initiated seven men who were pledged by the colony.

We are enthusiastic about the future of the University of Houston colony of Beta Theta Pi, and are most appreciative of the support we have received from the nearby chapters and the area alumni.

several honors accumulated by Beta memb1 in both academic and athletic areas. Michael Loenshal, '75, was initiated into the Phi Bl Kappa honorary fraternity and was also a Scholar candidate. Stephen Asher, '75, was plao in the national "Who's Who" publication for u versity students in recognition of his involvem6 in student government activities and acaden success. Alan Head, '75, was awarded the Aro teur Athlete of the Year honor while Steven Wei '76, was chosen as the Most Valuable Player the Vandal basketball team.

The spirit and enthusiasm of the house hll' shown through in a number of events inclurii the intramural program. Our "A" basketball achieved first place among Greeks only to Io the overall campus honor by a single point. Dav Comstock, '76, Van Briggs, '77, Steven J. William '77 , and Pledge Chris J Frost were all outstandi · performers. The annual winter "Unolympics" co1 petition was captured by the Beta house than to the efforts of M. Carl Rana, '75, Thomas Sto '77, John Elle, '77, and Joe Pellegrini, '78.

We have several members currently involved student government. G. Lance Salladay, '73, elected to the position of senator; Brit Groo: '78, is serving as public relations director for tl student body as well as the assistant rush cha man for the Interfraternity Council; Craig Shrontz, '78, has been appointed to the Studer Faculty Committee; and Brother Asher continu to be involved with A.S.U.I. operations.

During the summer months the following ir provements were made to the house: exteri painting, roof repair and the installation of i terior paneling Minor landscaping of the grount is also underway. This work has been badl needed and will give us a more attractive hou. to present to this year's rush group.

The annual Parents Weekend at the universi gave the alums a chance to greet old friends ; well as meet new faces on campus. Last yeaL function held in the chapter house was a gre success. During the reunion a plaque containir the picture of the late Brother Donald S. Whit head, ' 07, along with his original Theta Mu Epsilc and Beta pins were presented by our alumni ' the chapter. This dedication now hangs proudly 1 the chapter room in memorial to number one c. the charter rolls of Gamma Gamma. (Craig I Shrontz, '78, Corresponding Secretary)

Sprmg semester saw a great many irr provements in all areas Intramurals were an arE saw increased involvement and a high: fin.Ish than last year. The financial picture w< bnghtened by the excellent fiscal policy enacte ' by treasurer, Thomas A. Fribley, '76. Spring rus was a great success with 16 being pledged 1::1 rush chairman, Jeffrey B. Zeckel, '77 . This was tll largest pledge class that Pi has had in recer years. Fall rush was already started in earnest of last and continued success is expectet Another bnght spot is the fact that Pi will los

Ner people this year than in any of the last 1 r or five years. There appears to be an in>.ased desire to live in the house and become wived in house activities

This summer was the first summer in quite a 1ile that the house has not been opened but my of the brothers felt that this was for the st anyway. Summer rush was a chance for my of the brothers to get together and a numr of rush functions were held under the direciii of Nicholas G. Stanutz, '77, and G. Scott .ndis, '78. These activities provided an excellent t of recreation besides a chance to meet shees. Rush, of course, is a chapter's life blood d rush recommendations are always welcomed td given serious consideration. The work of the umni is always much appreciated especially that Chapter Advisor Thomas H. Campbell, Jr., '48, td Financial Advisor James R. McCord, '70, as ell as the Corporation Board.

Homecoming is a time to come back to school 'td see many old friends. All of the alumni who e able, are encouraged to come to the house tst year there was an excellent turnout with brotherhood once again renewed at the tapter house.

House improvements are also being planned hich include exterior and interior painting. This an effort that is expected to be a combined ;hievement of the brothers.

Pi looks on a bright future as one of the leadtg chapters of Beta Theta Pi. In all phases Pi lS improved greatly, spiritually, scholastically, hletically and financially. Hopefully this year wuld see continued success. (James G. Stevens, 7, Secretory)

IOWA STATE

luch of the spring quarter was spent in preparaon for Veishea. Brothers Edward (Ace) Mason, s, and Scott F. Wheeler, '77, served as float chair1en as we built a float representing Swiss Family obinson for the Veishea parade with Alpha Omiron Pi sorority. Once again, the Beta clowns arne out in fine form passing out kool-aid to the iddies and generally "cleaning up"

J. E. Kelly Carroll, Jr., '76, who served as Veishea o-chairman, was chosen to be on interim. Also, 'imothy F. Stoessel, '76, having been on Homeoming Central Committee, was chosen to be on 1terim for Homecoming this year. Brother Jerry !. Sande, '76, was given a position with the Des ,1oines Symphony Orchestra playing the bassoon, nd was also inducted into Tau Beta Pi, all engiteering honorary. Dennis L. Cavner, '76, followng in the footsteps of Brother Eric [Kiwi) Ewen , Z$, studied chemical engineering in England this ummer. Hopefully, he will have the honor, as did lrother Ewen, of meeting the dean of St. George ' s :hapel at Windsor Castle, who is, incidentally, t Beta.

Our president, Kent E. Bergstrom, ' 76, resigned tt the end of spring quart er and was rep lac ed Jy John W. Gehring, '76, who was serving as vice >resident. Bro. J.

Instead of the regular spring quarter Miami Triad, a Beta-Tau Buckaroo was put on with Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, and it was unanimously decid ed by the chapter afterwards to resume the celebration of the Triad next year! Delta Delta Delta sorority , a house with which we have done little in the past few years, accepted our invitation to do Varieties '76. We are all looking forward to fun times with the Tri Delts and a new year [Richard K. Rose, '76, Se cretory)

KANSAS

The fall '74 and spring '75 semesters at the University of Kansas were truly great ones in the history of the Alpha Nu of Beta Theta Pi. The "striving for excellence" has always been a constant thought lingering in the minds of all the brothers in the Hutt in their efforts to achieve their personal goals in academics, sports, and all other campus activities. This philosophy has been and always will be a traditional attitude to be handed down through many more generations of Alpha Nu Betas

Last fall the Alpha Nu Betas soared to incredible heights. In the area of academics, the house grade point average was 3.44, one of the highest ever. We also retained our traditional title as having the highest house grade point average on the Hill. In the area of sports, the Betas were super fired to bring back the Fraternity Football Championship Trophy to its traditional hom e by defeating the Phi Delts and then moved on to win the Hill Championship. We also were the fraternity volleyball champs The fall semester very appropriately ended with the annual Turkey Pull. This party was very enjoyable thanks to the efforts of Broth ers Thomas H. Curzon, '76, and Steven R. Duvall, '77, socialmen, and the pledge class of '7 8.

After a long Christmas vacation, the Beta brothers return e d to begin the spring semester and began thinking about the upcoming Ro ck Chalk Revue. The Betas along with the Chi Omega sorority rehearsed many hours and put together a fine production under the dir ect ion of Broth er John R. Catlett, '76. Even though we had the University Daily Kansan and the Lawr ence newspapers behind us, we received second place for our combined efforts with the very talented Chi O's. Steven R Duvall was awarded the best actor, and Robin L. Bailey, '76, got the awar d for the best original song Second place did not steal any of the enthusiasm to win it this year as the Betas will be in Rock Chalk with the Gamma Phi's

The annual spring German Party was held at the estate of Justin Hill, '26, with a dance afterwards back at the Beta house. This was without a doubt one of the best "Germans" ever. Brothers Frank F. Masterson, '77, and David H Shuss, '76, (spring socialmen) were responsible for this successful party .

Again this fall, we are proud of our Beta representation on the KU yell-leader squad. Only this fall there will b e four instead of three . Kris A. Cooper, '78 , will join Robin L. Bailey, Steven R.

Duvall, and George C. Bruce, ' 77, yell-leaders from last year's squad . Four Betas travelled overseas this past summer to expand their knowledge in two foreign languages. Brothers Kent E. Erickson , ' 78, Richard C. Arnspiger, ' 78 , and Gary W. Davis, '77, travelled around Germany for a month. Brother Stanley C Bark, '77, travelled a little farther north to Russia to spend a month there

Befo re closing, a few Alpha Nu Betas deserve to be recognized for their outstanding efforts during the past year First of all, Brother John H Mastio, ' 75, was presented the Walton Cup Award as the "Most Outstanding Alpha Nu Beta " Brother Steven C. Dillon, '75, was awarded the McCullough Cup as the "Most Outstanding Athlete." Broth er Richard C Arnspiger II was presented the Ste ven Swann Award for the "Most Outstanding Pledge." Brother Thomas H. Curzon, whose example has gotten many Betas involved in student politics, was ele cted secretary of the Student Senate. It is because of guys like these that the Beta house becomes more distinctive each year .

In conclusion, we the men of Alpha Nu feel that every aspect of our fraternity as well as our university a ctivities exemp lifies t h e true Beta spirit in which Beta Theta Pi was founded We are looking forward to another great school year. And we will really miss the "Steel Men of '7 5 " (Ed· ward G Larkin III, '7 8, Corresponding Se c retary)

KANSAS STATE

Once again, without hesitation the Kansas Stat e Betas are proud to say " We are number one ." This past year was very successful in the land of the Sphinx . We maintained high excellence in scholastics, athletics, and social activities.

It is assured that the Betas will be among the tops in the scholastic rankings of the university . We h ave been fortunate to have many members of the fraternity in various honorar y groups and societies which have demonstrated our skills and academic efforts. Among those honored spring semester were Ronald Nichols, '75, who was in Gamma Sigma Delta International Agricultural Honorary Society ; Robert Foncannon, '7 5, Eta Kappa Nu - electrical engineering honorary, KSU Engineers, Tau Beta Pi- engineering honorary; D Eric Roberts, '7 5, and Michael Frazier, '76, were in Phi Kappa Phi for their outstanding scholarship; Andrew Oswald , '76 , Blue Key - Senior Men's Honorary Society; James Loyd, '74, Knights of St. Patricks - Senior Engineers Honor; Randall Groves, '7 8, Phi Eta Sigma - Freshman Scholastic Honor. Among those continuing their education are Ron Nichols who is entering graduate school in regional and community planning and Bob Fancannon who is attending graduate school in electrical engineering. We will be seeing both of them this year at K-State. Two fine members of our fraternity will be going to professional schools. These two are ?avid Sargent , '75, who is going to Medtcal School, and Mike Frazier who wtll be gomg to UMKC Dentistry School.

The Betas also were represented in many political councils spring semester. Among those were

Thomas Mertz, '7 5, Student Governing Associatio and Agriculture Student Council, and Dave Sa1 gen t , Andy Hartman, '77, and James Hamilto! '77, were members of the Arts and Science Cour cil. Brother Jim was also on the Union Governin Board Finishing up the array of Beta personnt was John Campbell , '77, who was the Chancello o f Tribunal - the K-State's supreme court. A can be seen we had an excellent representatioJ within our governing body.

Athletics found us just as involved as we wef in scholarship. Starting the semester we were iJ second place in the Intramural Athletics Progra The challenge was there for us to meet and meeit we did indeed. The house gave a total effor in achieving athletic performance. Not only wer1 the athletes in superb form but the house spec tators gave their all in the necessary sidelim cheering support. Needless to say the Betas dom inated the athletic competition with the hanc much like the Roman gladiator. The point total! for Beta Theta Pi were 1160. The nearest competl· tor was our good old faithful second place DeltE Tau Delta with only 999 points. Just to mentior. a few of the championships won, first in fraternit} volleyball, bowling, and basketball , and first ir university basketball, track, and softball. Among the minor sports were first in singles and doubles badminton and also semifinal finishes in hand· ball, racketball, and table tennis. It is impossible to note everyone involved in the athletic achieve· ments but special mention must be given to Greg Hirleman, '75, who captured many points in his tremendous efforts in both the major and minor sports.

On the social line we had our annual Beta Pig formal at Topeka, Kansas. Once again it was an outstanding evening's entertainment. Also, the Beta barbecue was held down by the riverside. Even though we all concentrated diligently in the books this semester none of us forgot how to have a good time

To keep up the fine standards of our fraternity we initiated 21 tremendous freshtp.en spring semester out of a pledge class of 21. We expect great things from them in their future years at Beta Theta Pi.

Last · but not least, mention must be made of the new backbone of the fraternity. The new executive members are P Griffee Hawkinson, '76, president; Dick Hanson, '76, vice president; Greg· ory '7 6, treasurer; Scott Forke , '78, recordmg secretary; Steven Zielke, ' 76, corre· sponding secretary; Charles Collins, '78, house manager ; Richard Calhoun, '76, intramural chairman; J. Christian Schwensen , '76, social chairman ; and Jim Hamilton, song leader.

The of our fraternity gives us great pleasure m saymg that we are a portion of "Betas Broad Domain. " (Steven L. Zielke, '7 6, Corre· spo nding Secretary)

' pring 1975 was a typical one for Beta Alpha. The hapter continued to distinguish itself in all areas f campus life. The brothers of Beta Alpha realize he truth of the ancient adage that proclaims wisdom is better than gold and that understandng is rather to be chosen than silver." Cultivation ,f the intellect is an integral part of every irother's life. As a testament to our devotion to his ideal are the achievements of some of our ltaduating seniors. On May 26 Brother Robert {aekle, '75, graduated with high honors . Joining :lim were Brothers Patrick Clements, ' 75, Joseph -I all, '75 , and Jeffrey Merian, '75, who all gradu1tted with distinction. In addition Matthew Bagamity, '77, Mark Rerek, ' 77, and William Kirby, ' 77 , tave been accepted into the prestigious honors Jrogram in their respective majors.

Athletically, the brothers continued to play heir accustomed roles as le aders on both the ntercollegiate and intramural levels Brother oseph Szmania, ' 75, and Brother James Gwin, ' 76, )Oth sparkled on defense for Kenyon's successful acrosse team. Gwin was also elected captain for :his year's squad which expects to be one of th e ;trongest in the Midwest. The Kenyon track team was dominated by the men of Beta Alpha. Brother Kenneth Nugent, '77, was the top discus thrower •Jn the squad. In addition Nugent was elected ; o-captain for the 1976 edition of the Kenyon ·[rack team. Pledge Warren Martin was one of the top point-getters on the team as he competed in a variety of events Pledge Robert Cohn was mother versatile performer. Pledge James Northcutt was the leading sprinter among the Kenyon 'thinclads" and Pledge Keith Kline was one of the top weightmen. Brothers Clements and Bagam:ery participated on the Kenyon baseball team which compiled an unblemished record this past season. Brother Richard Myers, '77 , was a member of the Kenyon golf team

On the intramural scene Beta Alpha regained the track title. A number of brothers turned in ' s uperior performances David Jamieson, '77, James ' Yackee, '75, Timothy Appleton, ' 77, David Meyer, '75, and Pledge John Forgrave all contributed 1 ' mightily to an overwhelming triumph In the feature event of the meet, Brother Grid Glyer, ' 77, raced to a victory in the mile over Brother Kirby in a much ballyhooed grudge match

The brothers of Beta Alpha have traditionally , received recognition for their academic perform!l nces. Pledge Northcutt, following this trend, at : the close of spring semester caused a great deal of uproar with a history paper he handed in Often it seems that even exceptional work goes ' unnoticed by professors, but Northcutt's paper certainly didn't go unnoticed and the response that ensued was unusually great.

The highlight of the spring semester was the activation of nine new members We feel that t hese fine young men will greatly enhance the stature of our chapter With the addition of these upstanding men we at Beta Alpha feel that our chapter will continue to shine among intellectual · and social institutions with a brilliance surpassing

all competitors . (Richard S . Myers, '77, Corresponding Secretary)

LAWRENCE

Although that annual phenomenon known as "Spring Fever " hit the Appleton campus, it certainly did not stop the busy brothers of the Gamma Pi chapter The immediate good tidings were the excellent rush season had by the Betas , ensuring the continued success of the Lawrence chapter. We expect great achievements from these laddies in the coming y ears to uphold the rousing Beta spirit on this campus

Spring season also brought out " open season " on the Beta intramural squads. Throughout the year, Beta teams continued to perform the incredible The intramural football crown was captured by a team that did not allow a singl e touchdown all season. The bask e tball team was considerably undermanned by having three brothers playing regularly for the Viking varsity team The highlight of the eager campaign was an upset victory over the arch-rival Delts. The one point margin of victory came on a forty foot desperation shot at the buzz e r to give the Beta boys a well earned triumph Brother Thomas M Wolff, '76, was our intramural director for the entire season , and the chapt e r owes him an insurmountable debt for s e r v i ce s r e nder e d.

If one thing can be said about th e Gamma Pi chapter, it must be the most diverse chapter in all of Betadom .

Brother Frederick Sonderegger , '76, was a leading scorer for the Viking hock e y t e am, and Timothy Pruett, ' 76, was a mainstay on the Viking baseball team.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt , Gamma Pi chapter is constantly on the mov e.

It was with great anticipation and "Beta" ed breath that we await e d the annual festival on the shores of balmy Mackinac Island. We wish all brothers the finest of convention wishes in the expectation of further entrenching Beta Theta Pi as the foremost l e ader in national fraternal spirit.

(Douglas M. Fyfe, ' 76, Secretary]

The Beta football players ar e all hard at work in preparation for their op ening gam e and they can be sur e that the brotherhood will be on hand to cheer them to victory. Also, now is the time to start making plans to visit the chapter house on Lafayette Weekend. This year the Leopards will venture into Bethlehem to be skinned. Last year the broth e rhood was disappointed with the turnout of alumni. Hopefully, this year, the house will be jammed with happy Betas joined in song! So please make an attempt to be present.

B friends, if you could see me now you would that I am smiling. Not just your regular smi. but the smile you get from meeting, then enjoyil the Kentucky Derby with one hundred and plus Betas from everywhere It was glorious.

They started in the day before the Derby. It w about 2:00 when these three Betas from came in. They said, "how you do in; we're fro Colorado."

We said, "great, come on in." They said, do we put our stuff?" We said, "anywhere." Th6 said, "great, but where do we put the bus?" V\ said, "huh?"

That's how things went all day long. Peop in cars, buses and the crazy Canadians, wt came on motorcycles.

Friday night gave us Charlie Daniels, Wet Willi and the Marshal Tucker Band. They put dow some really good Southern jams. Good times had by all.

Then the day came. It was overcast, but th spirit of the crowd wasn't dampened. Blanke! tossed pretty girls in the air, people chased fri! bees and everybody did things that had no portance whatsoever. No worries, no cares, jm a lot of good fun.

It was all over too quickly, and the weary Beta trudged back to the house to mend their sunburn and exchange Derby stories.

It was nice to see all the brothers who made i

1 he word around the Beta Upsilon house is rush, 1d we all know that an effective rush is preced e d y a strong summer rush . This is particularly ue at M.I.T ., where rush week lasts a short four 111 ay s before the fall term even begins Stephen L. ee ler, '77, is our rush chairman and has done a ne job thus far in his important position.

Last year we decided to try and strengthen our

Welcome to the sunshine summer edition of the Beta Kappa news r eport, a quarterly inside look at our chapter. Aside from the usual summer jobs and suntans, good news is hard to come by. But this report is the final product of several weeks of int ense research. We think that you will find it unique For maximum reading pleasure, this report should be read like the Sunday paper, during the halftime show of a weekend football gume. Sit back and enjoy it.

Business Review

Spring quarter proved to be industrious. New officers elected for the coming year were: David (Marsh) Marshall, '77, president; Jam es M Bradley, '77, vice president; Bradley (Bradzola) Inskeep, '77, secretary; and Robert (Dahls) Dahlen, '76, treasurer This administration has really been

getting down and making things happen A lumni here is a tip from your Beta broker . Now IS th e time to make an investment in Beta Kappa. Our market is very bullish. The unemployment rate was very low at Beta Kappa. Everyone ove rti me to do his fair share to preserve the qualit y of life of our chapter. We are happy to report that many of our young alumni have found e mplo yment in the upper income le vel. Wha t are th e rest of you 1973-74 alumni doing? W e would like to know.

With all the space d e dicated to social activities , scholarship chairman, P enn (Kirby) Kurtz , '77, wants to make one thing perfectly clear. He is proud to report that 96% of the chapter is in go od academic standing with the universit y.

We initiated four men who are proving to be great assets to our chapter. Pledgemaster, Bruce Lacy, '76, worked with our spring class to mold them into fine active brothers This quarter the Outstanding Businessperson Award goes to Mrs. Bea trice Nanna. She has worked with our financial a dvisor for man y years doing various bookkeeping and accounting work. Thanks Mrs Nanna, we a ppreciate it. '

Entertainment

Ath e n s, the entertainm e nt center of Ohio, was bu zz ing with activities spring quarter Se ve ral social affairs highlighted the calendar of events. Let's commence with the Roman Toga party Fifty Romans and their Greek goddesses wined, dined, and danced for several hours .

Once again the mothers descended on Ohio University for the annual Mothers ' Weekend party. After a night on the town, several skits and parties, there was not a Mom who could not boast of having had a fabulous time. We did not know that our Mothers could do the "bump" lik e they did Stephen (Tight Pants) Good, '75, James (Dogs) Irvin, '75, and James (Ram) Ramge, '7 5, completely organized the affair with profound excellence. Many Mothers wrote, thanking us for the great weekend.

Dennis (Chopper) Conrad, '75, deserves thanks for providing a pig for our annual pig roast. This is a special party because it is the last formal ce lebration where the seniors can b e together

Sports

Here is the lat e st spring review of athletic activity Some of the titles won by Be ta Kappa were; All Campus Track , All Campus Bocciball , All Fraternity Wa t erpolo. It was indeed an honor to win the Bocci ball Award because the ' runner-up team was named The Beta Beaters

After the most difficult competition in years, Beta Kappa edged out Delta Upsilon and recaptured our All Sports Trophy for the last 11 out of 13 years. As for the fall preview, our football rejuvenate d by a strong sophomore class will be tough competition for anyone. Closer to home, we all had fun at the Beta Tennis Open Teams were chosen among the brothers and both tennis balls and refreshments were served till 4:00a m.

Society News

Our Sunsh ine society page reverberates with the chimes of wedding bells. Daniel (Cat) Dulin '74, was wed to Paula Foyle, Alpha Gamma

A banquet was held in honor of Lawrence Worstell, ' 25 , for 50 years of alumni service our chapter. Brother Worstell is currently o financial advisor The entire chapter is indebt to him for all the help he has given us for on half century.

Better Living

We design this section for such things as hou improvements, community projects, and perso ideas and examples from the brothers for beU living at the Beta Kappa house. Although the was a lot of hard work involved, the Athe Trash Bash was lots of fun for all those wl participated. Richard (Buddy) Karikas, '76, ' w chairman of this community cleanup project.

Spring quarter, the brothers repainted the i terior of the house with paint donated by M Amerigo Cappellari, father of David (Cowbo Cappellari, '77.

In Memoriam

I believe graduation was the saddest time of he year for us. Saying goodbye to those four ear veterans of Ohio University was not an D asy task. The younger guys will be hard pressed o get along without such devoted workers. These .ne men have left their mark in the pages of Beta :appa history, each in his own way. Goodbye, nd good luck, graduates. We hope you find the D arne happiness and success in life that you ound here.

Editorial

w We trust you have enjoyed our Sunshine edi11 ion, and hope you'll check in again this winter or the latest news. There is one thought that I vant to leave with the Beta Kappa alumni. Think 1a ck and remember your undergraduate days as a leta. All those warm memories would not be 1ossible without the dedicated support of your lumni. They gave to the chapter so you could xperience the bond of brotherhood. Now it is our responsibility to ensure younger students hat they too will have a Beta Kappa chapter. It's oo precious to let it slip away. (Bradley G. Inseep, '77, Secretary)

The brothers of Theta chapter at Ohio Wesleyan of Beta Theta Pi are very pleased with the success of this past year. It was a very productive one under the new administration of President Leland Silvas , '77. Final construction was completed on the bar, new shrubs were planted, a new grill was installed on our recently built patio, all four floors of the house were recarpeted, and the entire first floor was repainted.

Our rush class was the largest in five years, as well as being among the biggest in comparison with the other 11 fraternities at Ohio Wesleyan. Our Wesleyan lacrosse team, of which a large number of Betas are members, was invited to compete in the NCAA tournament (small colleges division) for the first time in its 19 year history. We are currently ranked ninth in the nation, and this year looks even more promising Our first midfield, which consists of three Betas was selected first team All-Midwest, and three members reached All-American status this year.

Plans for rush this fall are very optimistic, being urged on by the energetic new initiates who are already very much involved in the administration and functioning of the house. All in all, 1974-75 was an exce llent year, and we look forward to making this year even better. (Niels C. Holch, ' 78, Secretary)

With spring semester 1975 under our belt, the brothers here at Oklahoma took a well deserved rest from the activity filled school year. Looking back upon the past year is very encouraging because of the accomplishments of the hard-working Betas of Gamma Phi. Because of last year ' s success it gives us much excitement to plunge into another great school year this fall semester.

Many honors and awards were bestowed .upon many of the brothers here at Gamma Ph1. Although too many to list, such awards were: Outstanding Senior, Big Man on Campus, Pa-et (Top 10 Senior Men), Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Beta Kappa, and several others The brothers here are constantly trying to achieve the highest and thus make a good showing for Beta Theta P1.

Elections were held and Brother Anthony Bumpas, '76, was elected president and Brother Jack E. Rayburn , '76, vice president. These men have great potential as leaders and we look forward to their leadership in the house.

We, here at Oklahoma University certainly look forward to another eventful and exciting year and we are looking forward to seeing all the alumni in our area at the first Oklahoma football game. See you then! (Raymond H. Harris, '77, Corresponding S ec retary)

No fraternity can be complete or successful without the help of a housemother We are fortunate to have an excellent one in Mrs. Beryl Graham. Mom has become a close and cherished friend to all as well as a necessary part of the house

With the help of rush chairmen , Martin P. Conley, '77, and Robert H. Johnson, '77, we feel that we have again had a very successful year of rush. Both of these brothers have worked hard throughout the spring semester and summer to ensure the quality of men our house has maintained

As always we urge our alumni to visit. With a full calendar of social events this fall, we hope to see many brothers returning. (David M. Post, ' 78)

PURDUE

Beta Mu chapter has entered fall semester coming off a great spring We were among the campus leaders in intramurals, varsity sports, university activities, and Greek life We feel there is a deep feeling of togetherness and spirit, and that's what Beta Theta Pi is all about!

Just before spring semester ended new officers were elected. They are : Jeffrey A. Bledsoe , '77 , president ; Robert L. Swenson, ' 77, vice president; Craig W. Fread , '77 , treasurer; Dennis R. Blind, '77, house manager ; Richard R Watson, ' 77, steward; S . Mark Gamble , '7 6, rush chairman; and David K. Bowman , ' 77, secretary. The brothers are confident these men will provide the necessary leadership to see us through the 1975-76 school year. Our budget is especially important this year Although we ar e in excellent financial shape thanks to our great alumni and an over capacity house, proper management of funds is crucial in these times of economic stress.

Once again Beta Mu participated in Purdue's annual " Grand Prix" Go-Cart race. Each spring all the major housing units on campus spend a couple of months preparing a cart for a rigorous 150 lap race held on a paved, winding track north of the football field. "Team Beta" entered two carts, one driven by Gary W Conkright, '76, and the other by Pledge David K. Jones. Gary finished 7th while Dave placed 12th. However Pledge Jones has a couple of years to improve. We enter e d the event with Phi Mu sorority and spent the entire week prior to the race "firing up " with them Such events as a roller skating part y , barn dancing, an all-night pig roast , a cook-out , serenades, a breakfast , and "slip 'n slide " down the hill in front of our house w e re great successes, and certainly tightened our fraternal bonds The week was concluded with a Saturday night party at the house following the race with Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, Chi Omega , and the Phi Mus Entertainment was provided by a band which Brother Scott W. Walker, ' 76 , plays in What began as a private party quickly became an all-campus affair with some 300 people floating in and out. The part y turned out to be th e biggest social event on

Brother Bruce G Parkinson, '76 , deserves a specia l note of congratulations for b eing nam e d to the All -B ig Ten first string bask etball team for the past season

Last year Beta Mu finished a disappointing 4th of 40 fraternities on campus in intramur als. W e are traditionally strong in athletics and hope to do better this year Intramurals always seem to be a great opportunity to get the broth er s together to improve friendships and d ee p e n ties. With great spirit and help from our most recent pledge class , we're sure we can improve .

In addition to the many athletic, social and 64

camp us activities, Beta Mu fared well scholast ca ll y. Nine brothers were named to the Dean List. Also, a numb er of seniors with high gra ri indexes and numerous campus activities gradt ated. Among them were William B. Elmore, Gre f ory A. Gram, James E Lowe, John W. Bush, an Terry A Weerts Most notably, Michael W. Well gra duated "Most Outstanding Senior" for the un· vers ity, an award reflecting his excellent grad e and lengthy service in campus organizations. Mik was elected house manager and president whil at Beta Mu

All in all it was a great spring for Beta Mt Togetherness and the spirit of brotherhood coult not be more evident as we strive to finish ou college years. However, all of this could not h· possible without our alumni who continue to no only help us maintain our financial stability, bu also set a fine example for us to follow. We wei come all alumni and traveling Betas passin: through our area to come and spend some tim• with us. (David K. Bowman, '77, Secretory)

Special praise should go to Kenneth Johnson '75, for winning the javelin title for NCAA college division II with a toss of 245.7 feet. The toss set a stadium record. It was also the first NCAA title won by the University of Puget Sound We have elected three members to the Interfraternity Council. James Lonsbery will serve as president ; John E.

RUTGERS

Beta Gamma is well on the way to being the Beta Gamma of old. With a full house for the coming ye ar and anticipation of a large pledge class of " premiers ," Beta at Rutgers will again be "the hous e" on campus. Things are being changed greatly since the da y s of our period of almost folding. With our rebirth, we have a house wit h

new leaders and new ideas. Many traditions were not passed down through the classes but lust. [t's a fact that Beta went from the top house on campus to a house struggling for survival. We are past the struggling for survival period and entering a period of developing into a top house on campus. Plans are under way for many improvements to the house. These improvements include fixing the plumbing, making a study room, pa inting the house and trying anything else to improve our appearance. Other than that, we will do everything a top house is expected to do. With our efforts to be top house, this will develop a much closer brotherhood. We have an excellent ; roup of officers led by president, Pledge Roelof Baay. We thank the alumni association for all of its confidence in us, including allowing our house to remain open in the summer.

ST. LAWRENCE

Prior to last year and for a period of about two years, the members of Beta Zeta chapter were /'homeless", in a sense. This was due to the fact that the new house was under construction. Transitions prove to be the true test of any organization. Beta Zeta met that challenge and was equal to the task as far as observers were con · cerned at the time. However, the campus com · munity of St. Lawrence University, as of spring semester, was just beginning to realize that the members of Beta Zeta chapter have been more than just "equal" to the task. Once again the l'men of the dragon" have a home and the "Home of the Dragon" consists of the leaders in academic, social, and athletic pursuits on campus. Surely the name of the fraternity lends a great deal to the respect received, but more importantly it is the men of that fraternity who stimulate and demand the respect of the campus. Much credit is due to Brother President William L. Fox, '75, who ·skillfully channeled the numerous talents in the house Credit is also due to the other graduating se niors who were all actively involved with the 3aid transition and who experienced both the good and bad times.

Spring Pledge Saturday was on the cool, crisp, of March 8 The skies were clear and there was a foot of snow on the ground, but this jid not hinder the advance of 21 new pledges who winged their way down "Beta Path" This /i gure is indicative of the manner in which the Seta Zeta chapter at St. Lawrence is viewed by the as there were only 21 bids given out. F'estivities took place throughout the day and there were a number of alumni oil hand to liven Lhings up. The spring pledge class follows well with the trend being set by Beta Zeta as the class ::onsists of a wide range of interests and abilities

[' his skillful, diversified group inlcuded the fresh:nan clas's president as well as a Little Allt\ merican wrestler. Ten members of the class .vere on the varsity football squad and seven wer e on the Dean 's List. Another interesting characteristic of this class is the fact that four )f these men are sophomores. This number along with the eight sophomore fall pledges adds up

fhe Beta Theta Pi I September 1975

to a sizable percentage of this year's pledge class . This can only mean that after taking more than a year to look over the fraternity situation at St. Lawrence there is but one popular choice.

The new officers for the '75-'76 school year are : Jeffery M. Brainard , '76, president; Philip A. Carlson, '76, vice president ; Mark R. McGinn , '77, treasurer; Hugh C. Lappe , '7 6, pledge trainer ; Jeffery Fay, '76, rush chairman; Sean T . Kelly, '77, house manager; Lawrence H. Jones, ' 76, steward; Joseph N Kamide, ' 77, assistant steward; Vincent A. Cesario, '77, corresponding secretary; James J. Neyenhouse, '78, recorder; and Kevin S. Hopkins, '77, and Jeffrey J. Mallia, '77, social co-chairmen.

On April 20, the initiation ceremony took place in the famous Abbott-Young Memorial Temple The snow had left the North Country for good by then and the warm, sunny day was appropriate for the occasion. Ralph A. Jones, Colgate '52, our district chief, was an honored guest and he also took part in the ceremonies. A banquet followed for brothers as well as friends and relatives of the new initiates. Following the banquet, the guest of honor and alumnus Dr. Seth R. Brooks , '22 , gave a moving oration and in this oration he told what it is to be a Beta, in a way only Dr. Brooks can.

On the interfraternity intramural scene, there was a tight race all year for the trophy which is awarded to the house which compiles the most points during the year. It all came down to the Spring Sports Day held during the first week of May. Again it was the Beta Zetas who led the way taking first place in thr ee of the four events while taking a third in the fourth event. It was Brothers Peter Hewitt, '76, Kelly Dempsey, ' 76, and Nathan Shippee, '78, taking first in the Kaber Toss. Brother Thomas Deacy, '77, pedalled his way to first place in the five-mile bicycle race. A group of 14 Beta Zetas tasted mud only once in 11 pulls during the tug-of-war contest. Brothers Kenneth Avery, '77, and Vince Cesario paddled their way to third place in the canoe race amid stiff competition. All in all, it was this fine showing which lifted the Beta Zetas to first place in the overall interfrat ernity intramural program. The intramural director, Coach Lawrence "Pig" Jordan, '7 5, deserves cre dit for his coordinating and leadership abilities

Spring Weekend, May 2 & 3, marked the e nd of the social activities for the spring semester On Friday night there was a formal dance at the fraternity house featuring "Blue Steel ". The next day , both brothers and dates made their way to scenic Lake Placid where some of the winter events of the Olympics are to b e h eld On Sunday, everyone returned to the hous e for a steak, lobster, and clam cookout.

The 21 Beta Zetas who graduated in May will be sor ely missed. However, the future looks bright. A fine host of officers were elected for fall semester and the number of new initiates was the largest in recent years Proven quality is included in these quantities. It can be said of the Beta Zetas of St Lawrence that "Once again the Beta is distinguishable and distinguished .. .". (Vincent A. Cesario , Jr., '77, Corr espo ndin g Se creta r y )

SOUTH DAKOTA

With th e end of the spring semester of 19 75, each one of us here at Gamma Alpha chapter had a hard time leaving the Beta and all of the brother s for the summer But with rush on our minds, the summer went fast and now w e are looking forwa r d to a large and strong ple.dge class A new rush program went into effect th1s year. It is an informal program which means that of the formal parts of rush such as " smokers'.' Will be held We are very confident that we w1ll do well with this new type of rush.

The officers that we have elected to take us through the fall semester of .1975 are as follows: Michael P Jacobs, ' 76, pres1dent; Jon K; son, '76, treasurer; Kenneth J. Kujawa , 77, v1c e president ; Thomas L Bird , ' 77! Sheldon S. Seward, '77, rush chairmen ; W1lham Kunstle , ' 77, pledge trainer ; Randall R Hodge , 78, recording secretary ; Steven M . Thomas , '77, ing secretary ; Bradley J Greene, '78, secretary ; John M. Ladenthin, '7 7, athletic chanman; Timothy L. Cook, ' 77, head steward ; Michael-R.

S err , '77, photographer; Jeffrey L. Parkinson, ' 77, IFC delegate; Kenneth M Johnson , '78, IFC alternate delegate; Jon K Swanson, alternate delegate to the convention; and Jeffery W. Bird , ' 78, sophomore delegate to the convention .

The last two months of the 1975 spring semester were very rewarding for us. In April the brothers of Gamma Alpha won the IFC Spring Sing which is a singing contest between fraternities. We also chose Strollers partners for next year ' s show and our partners in 1976 will be the Chi Omegas. Brother Mark E . Ulven, ' 76 , will be the director of that show and we are looking forward to putting on a great show . We then ended the year ' s activities by winning the intramural sports trophy for the 6th year in a row.

One of the highlights of the year was the election of Beta of the Year Special congratulations go to Brother John D Willis, ' 75, who was elected for that honor in 1975

Throughout the year many of the brothers continued to stand out in campus activities Brother Jon K. Swanson and Brother Thomas D Gallagher , ' 76, were both chosen into Omicron Delta Kappa , which is a senior men ' s honorary Brother Gallagher was also named as the outstanding junior man on campus Brother Mark L Hemmingson , ' 75 , was selected for Phi Beta Kappa, which is an organization for academic excellence. Brother Aloysius J. Arendt, '75, was chosen for Beta Gamma Sigma , which is an honorary for academic achievement in the school of business and Brothers Thomas L Bird and William D. Kunstle were tapped into the Dakotans organization .

Last year an "outstanding alumni" award was set up by the chapter. The first recipient of this award was Brother J. V Conway, '16, of LeMars, Iowa . Several other Gamma Alpha alumni continue to play an active part here. Brother Larry H Lovrien, '73, is our chapter advisor, and Brother

David 1. Lewis , ' 72, is our new district .chief. There are also two Gamma Alpha alumm wh o are serving in the Peace Corps. Brother. Joseph Flicek '74 is in Sierra Leone, West Afnca, and William J. Cope, ' 73, is in the Marshall Islands

All of us here at South Dakota are lookmg forward to another prosperous year. We would to remind all of our alumni that Dakota Day IS on October 11 this year , and we hope to see many Gamma Alpha Betas here for week-end . (Kenneth J. Kujawa, '77, Corresponding Secretary)

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

The summer months pass , making way for the fall, and another school year begins. The brothers of Gamma Tau have a busy semester ahead. Initiation procedures must take place for the spring pledge class of '75 The 16 members of that pledge class have had an entire summer to prepare for their fall activities.

Also, during the summer, under the leadership of rush chairman, Brian (Burnout) Berkhausen, ' 76, pre-rush parties were held which helped pave the way for a smooth fall rush. As many as prospective rushees are anticipated by the umversity this fall.

Another greatly anticipated annual fall event is the football season. The mighty Trojans are always victorious, and after-game parties bring Betas, Beta alums, and their friends to the chapter house for a celebration.

Congratulations are in order for newl.Y elected officers. The new chapter president IS Thomas (Don't Like Chicks) Booker, '76, who shall guide us through the coming months. The position of vice president has been filled by frey (Robie) Robinson, '76, and our new ch1ef justice is Dennis (D.J. the C.J.) Jones, '76 Our pledge trainer is Brother Berkhausen, and further leadership shall be provided by Christopher (Krouch) Jackson, ' 76, attempting to "keep house" as house manager

To add to the Gamma Tau lifestyle, and to keep Bergins from going broke, Michael (Werhah) Westra, '75, has returned from his basketball antics in Switzerland. Also on the sports scene , Gamma Tau is anticipating another high-ranking year with l.F.C., led by John (to the roof) Morgan, ' 76

With a well planned fall rush program, and the largest and strongest fraternity at U.S.C , Gamma Tau can look forward to another year of memorable and productive accomplishments (Gary S. Ball, ' 76 , Secretary)

SOUTHERN METHODIST

Beta Theta Pi and Gamma Omega chapter made national news last spring when an AP photo of Paul (Bear) Olson, '77, appeared on the front pages of newspapers in Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Chicago, St. Paul, Memphis, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, Buffalo and numerous other cities. The occasion was the SMU Manada, a carnival/

The Beta Theta Pi I September 1975

e event, in which Gamma Omega's Jooth, a rat-race down an eight-lane track named 'Upson Downs", was honored for its success and Jriginality. The photo showed Olson playing a trumpet, which he used to call the rats to the post, and one of the competing white rats perched atop the trumpet, eye-to-eye to the "Bear." The chapter later received congratulatory notes from thoughtful Betas all over the country (Bear wanted to supply the picture for this magazine, but as we all know, too much publicity goes to one's head - or hair, in this case) .

The end of school brought other honors to Gamma Omega. The M .O.V .E. organization presented a plaque to the chapter in recognition and appreciation of special service projects carried out by the Betas during the semester - in particuthe brothers' interest and work with underprivileged youth in Dallas. The SMU tennis team , which could more appropriately be called the BCT (Beta Championship Tennis), won the Southwest Conference crown thanks to backbone provided by George W. Hardie, '75, Joseph L. Edles, '76, Clinton E Hufford, '76, and Richard M. Walthall, ' 75. And in overall intramural competition, the chapter took 3rd place out of 15 fraternities.

New officers were elected for the fall semester: William J. Miller, '76, president; Mark R. Hillstrom, '76, vice president; Michael L Carr, '78, treasurer; Kelly C !vie, '77, secretary; William T. Eubanks, '77, rush chairman; Stephen B. Ogborn, '76, social chairman ; John S. Shumway, ' 77, pledge trainer; Lance J. Rogers, ' 77, intramural chairman; and Bernard M. Paul , ' 77, house manager.

A spring weekend planned for chapter alumni opened with a party on Saturday . A softball game on Sunday, however, encountered a conflict with the Dallas weathermen; conditions were more favorable for water polo. Another special alumni "gig" is planned for this fall.

Twenty-one Betas worked for ABC Television at the Byron Nelson Golf Classic, proving their versatility and dependability The assignments were obtained through the influence of Harry F . Singleton, '75, SMU intramural director.

In other developments, the brothers are looking

forward to "breaking in" a new couch that was bought for the living room prior to the end of school. Also, a $500 gift from the grandmother of John F. O ' Connor, '77, will help in much needed remodeling of the "Beta Hilton". Some do-itourselves repairs were completed in the spring under the direction of ex-president, Woodrow (Drow) Berry, '75. It is speculated that Drow felt guilty after knocking a hole in a downstairs wall. Credit also goes to Frederick D. Haulenbeek, '75, who was responsible for the installation of new paneling. Yet, the brothers are indebted to Brother Haulenbeek for something more: possibly the most famous single addition to the Beta vocabulary since gait. Beeeeeek. (Kelly C. Ivie, '77, Secretary)

STANFORD

Not leaving the beaches until October 1, Lambda Sigma Betas have returned from an unusually long summer, anticipating a great fall quarter.

Through the hard work of rush chairman Pledge Alexander "Little Sun" Battey, 19 outstanding men were pledged and have joined us at our bumble mansion on the farm. The many rush activities included a trip to Northern California's Lake Shasta for a weekend of waterskiing and partying, a now-legendary Beta Nooner and participation in the IFC "Aqua Follies," a water carnival at Stanford's very own Lake Lagunita. A marathon bid party and swinging Hawaiian Luau at the Atherton home of Pledge Craig Boniface rounded out the campaign.

Proving early predictions to be true, the Beta waterpolo team captured the IM crown. The unstoppable backhanded skip shot of All-American Pledge Brian Roux led the team to many a victory.

Thanks to the carpentry skills of active Charles " Tex " Haines, ' 74, the new but somewhat barren house received several additions, including ·reclining benches for the balcony, an., improved volleyball court, much needed storage space in the kitchen, and a productive indoor garden.

Fall quarter promises to be a busy and valuable one, with increased alumni activity a major goal. To kick off the new football season, all alumni from the Gamma ·Nu chapter as well as Lambda Sigma are invited to a tail gate champagne brunch prior to the Stanford-UCLA game Satu·rday, October 11. (Although starting positions have not yet been announced, Pledge Michael Cordova appears to be the likely one at the quarterback spot). Currently , a new and up to date alumni directory is being published, and a copy will be mailed to every living Lambda Sigma Beta in October. All the brothers at the house wish to show their sincere thanks to alumni for their interest and support in many matters, and hope to continue to improve relations. We have enjoyed the visits and cards from Betas everywhere, and encourage any brothers living or traveling in the Bay area to stop by any time for a leisurely visit. (Pledge

STEVENS

I am pleased to announce that the new carpeting I mentioned in the pre vious newsletter has been installed in our foyer, thanks to the of the brothers who sold the light bulbs Special recognition should go to Carmine Cacciavillani, '77 , who was in charge of the sale and who motivated the brothers to keep selling.

The rushing outlook for fall. in '75 looks quite promising Stevens, IS Its. largest freshman class in the schools history this year. The brothers are planning an all-out rush to find what we feel are prospective Betas

On the social scene Sigma chapter had its last party of the season on April 29. the scheduled band was unable to make It, a back-up band was called and the party was still a success . We were pleased to have approximately 20 alumni and their wives in attendance.

On April 22, Stevens held its annual Sports Awards night where varsity, junior varsity. and athletic association letters and awards were Those members of Sigma chapter receiving letters were : Richard Bruno, '77, and Patrick W. Burt, '77 , varsity tennis; Michael Kalafut, '76, Lawrence Belfiore, '76, Thomas Matlosz, '76, and Joseph Solano, ' 77 , varsity. baseball; Brothers Cacciavillani and Kalafut, varsity basketball ; E . David Tietje, '75, and Pledge Scott Silverness, varsity lacrosse; Dave Tietje, varsity soccer; and Pledge Silverness, J.V. basketball.

The house would like to extend its congratulations to Brother Solano for making our league all star team at first base. Joe batted a team leading .365 with 3 home runs and consistent fielding all season.

On the interfraternity level, the Beta house finished second overall in the race for the coveted All Sports Trophy. We did, however, add another first place trophy to our collection by taking the squash title Thanks to inspirational play by Paul Demyanovich, '75, and handy raquet work by Richard Engel, '76, and Terrence Graf, '75, we were able to go undefeated. (Patrick W. Burt, ' 77, Corresponding Secretary)

TENNESSEE

The Delta Kappa of Beta Theta Pi is proud to announce that we have a new house, a house that holds our hopes of becoming the number one fraternity on the campus of the University of Tennessee. Plans for a house-warming party are underw ay for the first weekend in the fall quarter. The new house, located at 1804 Lake Avenue , is a large Southern manor-type home well located in terms of other campus fraternities and has a living capacity almost double our present quarters .

The Tennessee Betas have taken another league plaque. Brothers James E. Odom, ' 75, Ted L. Flickinger, Jr ., ' 76, and Richard C. Kaniss, ' 76, won the league paddleball tournament. Every brother is looking forward to the upcoming football season. It is believed that we will improve upon last year's 4-1 league record and capture this year's

championship.

The UT Betas placed eighth out of 18 fraterni· ties participating in All-Fraternity Week and considering our chapter size, that is fairly good.

Brother M. Edward Stiner, Jr., '76, won the only first place trophy by polishing off 10-three ounce cups of beer in 24.2 seconds. The also won three second place awards; one each m the three-legged race , the keg toss, and team beer drinking.

Rush weekend was exceptionally good last year. Not only did the actives pound out a well· deserved victory over the alumni in the annual active-alumni softball game but the event was observed by a great number of rushees. Everyone participated in the great Beta spirit which prevailed throughout the weekend. The memor· able event was culminated by a rip-roaring party an'd a softball game with the Beta Little Sisters.

Delta Kappa is happy to serve as host to visiting Betas whenever they decide to drop in. We were glad to have weekend visits during spring quarter from actives and pledges from Virginia Tech and Cincinnati chapters Steven A. Jones, Penn State '74, and James R. May, Eastern Kentucky '75, also stopped by to take advantage of the great Tennessee hospitality and the grand natural beauty of the Tennessee women and near· by Smoky Mountains. Eastern Kentucky challenged Tennessee to a football game but we can be sure that Delta Kappa will win it by forfeit since Delta Xi will not even show up.

It is appropriate that we congratulate our graduating seniors. They are Brothers Thomas A. Mitchell, '75, Mark A. McDaniel, '75, David W. Smith, '75, Thomas E. Perry, '75, Charles W. Daniels, '75, and Donald L. Bradley, '75. Special congratulations go to Charles "Mickie" Myers, ' 75, who was accepted to the Auburn School of Veterinary Medicine, and Gary D Logston, '75, and Eastern Kentucky '73, our tutor-in-residence, who received his masters degree in urban plan· ning We wish them all the best in life and hope for their good fortune. (Ted L. Flickinger, Jr., '76, Secretary)

TEXAS

The coming of hot Texas summer weather signaled the end of another semester at the University of Texas and the end of another successful year for Beta Omicron. Many improvements have been made within the chapter to strengthen the bonds among ourselves creating a firm foundation that will support an even stronger chapter. Only better things lie ahead for the men at 2317 Shoal Creek.

The social scene was particularly enjoyed by Beta Omicron, with Social Chairman Frederick Phillips, '77, running an excellent social program this past spring. Roundup at the University of Texas was a particular standout with many Betas participating in the various carnival events and capturing fourth place in the float competition of the parade. The three parties held during Round· up impressed many of the non-member attendants and also left their mark upon a few members for several days. Fred's outstanding parties qualified him to again be elected social chairman for the

ill of 1975.

Beta Omicron again made itself known at the norts scene of the University of Texas. The "B" squad easily captured the All-Fraternity tivision of intramural play and went on to place 1 ird in the campus championship. One of the 1any outstanding players of the team, William _ Barnard, '77, of Wichita Falls, participated in 1e annual Texas Relays and competed impresively. His individual effort in the 440 yd. race ia s good enough to set a new intramural record, vhich again brought pride to the name of Beta.

Summer Rush shifted into high gear with state ush captains Charles M. Barnard, '76, and Thomas London, '75, well in control. They began workag in early spring to coordinate the rush camlaign to make this past summer one of our best lUsh efforts ever. Rush is a crucial time in the ife of any fraternity and all Betas, alums espelially, can be of invaluable help by sending us rour recommendations. Any recommendations can ,e sent to either Charlie or Tommy at 2317 Shoal Austin 78705. (Thomas E. Black, Jr., '7 8, )ecretary)

TEXAS TECH

fhe Delta Mu chapter of Beta Theta Pi eneyed another successful year on the Texas rech campus. The spring of 1975 was highighted by improvement in the areas of pledge;hip, community services, sports, and individual tchievement.

The spring semester began with a strong rush Jrogram organized by Mitchell Malouf, '76. The rush included the usual rush parties along with 1 program of constructive encounters designed to improve the relationship between the active member and the rushee . The spring rush was followed by a progressive pledge program d esigned by John Round, '7 5 The pledgeship proved to be the most successful in Delta Mu's history as exemplified by keeping 100 % of the men pledged This statistic is surely a tribute to the quality of men pledged and the type of pledge program that exists at Delta Mu

- In the area of community service, Delta Mu ib:as striven to improve its image on the Texas ech campus. The spring of 1975 included such worthy projects as a collection drive for multiple sclerosis. The active members along with the entire pledge class conducted a door to door campaign to collect a substantial sum for the multiple sclerosis charity. Another collection drive was undertaken to raise money for the Heart Association. The money raising project was jleld in the spring by Delta Mu and succeeded in yielding a significant contribution to the Heart 1 Association.

Delta Mu consistently proves to be a strong competitor in spring sports. The soccer season was completed in the spring semester and the Beta "A" team advanced to the play-offs for the third consecutive year winning the All-University crown two out of the three years. The Beta "A" team continued the winning tradition in softball as it succeeded in obtilining a berth in the soft-

The Beta Theta Pi I September 1975

ball play-offs. After a strong showing in the spring the athletes of Delta Mu are anxiously awaiting the competition to begin this fall.

The individual is what makes a chapter strong. It is an individual working with others that creates a successful fraternity. Certain individuals were honored at Delta Mu, such as Lyle Jeanes, '7 6, who was inducted into the National Honorary Accounting Fraternity and Mitchell Malouf who was inducted into the National Honorary Agricultural Fraternity. Finally , Stephen Goree, '76, was elected the Interfraternity Council president for the 1975-76 school year. Steve has worked for three years with the Interfraternity Council to strengthen the fraternity system at Texas Tech and to strengthen the Delta Mu chapter of Beta Theta Pi.

The brothers of Delta Mu enjoyed the spring of 1975 and look ahead to the fall semester for ways to improve our chapter and the fraternity s y stem as a whole. (Gary B. Simmonds, '77, Corresponding Secretary)

TULANE

Spring and summer were busy times at Beta Xi this year. Probably the biggest event of the year was the Fraternal Fifties party, in which we honored three of our 50-year alumni with cocktails and a banquet, followed by presentation of the Fraternal Fifties certificates. All of the brothers had a great time meeting some of the older alumni; in fact, the party was such a success that we decided to institute a new program of alumni relations, in hopes of maintaining and even strengthening local fraternal ties.

During March , our annual chapter elections were held. Alton F. Martin, '77, was elected president ; Richardson Powell, '77, vice president ; Robert Ramirez, '7 8, secretary ; and James Culotta, '76, treasurer. The honorary office of Jet Chairman was award ed to Sean Kelly , '7 8, in recognition of his unflagging devotion to lending an aspect of unrestrained hilarit y to the diurnal drudger y of college life

The '74-'75 year was wrapped up in traditional fashion: Beta Party instincts came through once again in the annual classic that we call JUNGLE, the party that has come to be recognized as the very quintessence of Beta life in New Orleans. As always, we built a two-level maze in the basement ; this maze then led (if you were lucky) to the back yard, transform e d completely into a tropical rain forest. The brothers and their dates came in traditional jungle attire: Betas in blackface, witchdoctor's masks, and grass skirts mingled with wild animals and several versions of Bwana, the Great White Hunter. In the Miss Jungle contest, after heat e d competition, Little Sister Robin Rushton was selected, by unanimous consent of the judges as the recipient of the 1975 Golden Palmetto Award. It was a night of intense partying, proving once again that, at least at Tulane, the best parties are Beta parties Ask our neighbors .

In closing, we should like to extend an open invitation to our alumni or to any other Be fas who happen to be in the area, to feel free to

drop by, tell us hello , and spend so m e ti m e with us

we wish a successful rush to all the other Beta chapters, and a good ye ar in general all our brothers everywhere (Robert B. Ramtrez, '7 8, Corresponding S ecreta ry)

VANDERBILT

Beta Lambda chapter was reminded of its important " link with the past " in the form of Its alumni our first annual Alumni Banquet held last April. With steaks , swapping of stories , and a fine address b y Brother Charles D. Nord , ' 60, a reaffirmation of support was confirmed by alumni. Brother Charles M "Chip" Gill , ' 77, alumm secretary, was primarily responsible for the event.

One interesting problem of note surfaced as a result of discussion following Br other Nord's address: that is, the correct mailing address e s of our alumni. It was generally realized attendance of the alumni would have been greater but for the number of changes in address most alull!ni have encountered since their undergraduate days In light of this fact, it is requested that all alumni send their present addresses to Beta Lambda chapter, 210 24th Avenue South, Nashville, Ten: nessee 37212. This more current list of alumm who contact us will be sent to the Administrative Office at Miami for updating You will receive that Beta Theta Pi you've missed all these years I

With the initiation of our spring pledge class, Beta Lambda now has 1387 men listed on the official chapter roll. This fall semester , approximately 75 men returned to Vanderbilt. We anticipate a strong upperclass rush this fall, with the spirit of the chapter stronger than any time during the past two years. And with Brother Harry B. "Bubba" Maring, '76, returning from Vanderbilt in France, it should be an interesting year. (James M. Guill, '77, Corresponding Secretary)

VIRGINIA TECH

The Alpha Phi Betas began their first year in a new house with much enthusiasm. We recently initiated four hopeful young men into the ranks of Betas. We hope these young men will fill the gap left by the graduation of eight of our brothers this past spring I would like to mention the names of these recent graduates in appreciation of their many contributions to our beloved fraternity These men came into a small fraternity and helped it grow. Our many thanks again to Timothy V. Blackburn , '7 5, Charles E. Comer, '7 5, Edward H . Dofflemyer, ' 75, James H . Drew, '75, David C Fede, '75, B. Duffy Goodman , '7 5, Warren W Hall, '75, and Marvin S Richards, '75.

Our fraternity presently has an excellent opportunity for further growth since only five brothers are presently seniors and will be graduating in the spring Our new rush chairman , Joseph Murphy , '77, has thus far proved himself to be a dedicated worker and so we are anticipating continued success with rush this year.

In the area of sports , this past spring quarte r was the busiest ever for Alpha Pi. Our softball

team took second place in the IFC tournament and thus won a spot in the All-University. A number of brothers were victorious in individual competition also. Betas competed in almost every intramural sport offered, and even when we did not win the competition was a lot of fun

Greek Week at Tech was, as usual, full of excitement and fun. Betas took three third places during t he week- in guzzle cup, bike racing, and tug of war competition. We all enjoyed socializing with the other fraternities on campus. It seems we always meet many new friends on this occasion.

We recently began a "Little sister" program here. The girls are a welcome addition .to our fraternity and we look forward to workmg together with them to make this an better fraternity. Congratulations to all the girls and thanks for all the help

Another recent first for Tech Betas was their hosting a Parent's Weekend for the parents of all our brothers and little sisters. Our goal was to better familiarize the parents with our brothers individually and with our fraternity as a whole. Many parents were present for the weekend proved to be quite successful. We hope to do It again next year

The new year looks promising for Tech Betas. We are now a sizeable group on campus, and we have a new house as well. We must now take advantage of these privileges and continue to expand and improve. (Robert P. Woolfolk, '76, Corresponding Secretary)

WABASH

The closing of the school year and the end of exams marked the beginning of a well deserved rest for the brothers of Tau chapter. It also gave us time to think back over the past year and over our past accomplishments. May 18, 1975 was graduation day for eight of our members. The graduating seniors were Robin L. Roach, R. Thomas Knox, William H. Ledbetter, Michael C. Minick , Mark L. Winter, W. Mark McLemore, Bradford B Bo y d and G. Mack Guffin. Of these brothers , McLemore, Ledbetter and Minick all qualified for Phi Beta Kappa national scholar ship fraternity.

On the sports scene Tau chapter had a very good spring semester, taking first place trophies in swimming and bowling An all out effort by the entire house , brought a third place finish in outdoor track and assured Tau chapter of its second straight first place I.M finish. Tau chapter was also well represented in the intercollegiate com· petition. Michael Brown , '76, was elected the MVP for the second year in a row for his base· ball abilities . He was also the team's leading hitter and was selected as next year's captain. Michael " Spunky " Keele , '76, was selected as the most improved player on the tennis team.

During the first chapter meeting in April the new treasurer and assistant treasurer were elected. Stephen C Rogers, ·'77, was elected as treasurer and Robert T. Grand , ' 78, was chosen as assistant treasurer.

The traditional Mother's Day Sing was held on April 12 , and the brothers of Tau chapter again

ihone. Under the direction of Mark McLemore, b he Betas outdistanced all the other fraternities e' :o capture their third straight Mother's Day Sing ill' ·rrophy.

n Fall semester will bring rush parties, new ;lasses, and the 1975 General Convention reports . James L. Engledow, '78, Corresponding Secretary)

the fall semester

The brothers and pledges were extre mely active in the school 's first att e mpt at lacrosse. A total of eight were on this year's club with Pledge George Utley acting as captain. Bethany's squad was also dominated with Beta's , in fact , the referee in our game was a Beta pledge. After the contest we all got together at their chapter hous e for refreshments.

The brothers are all extreme ly proud at the election of Broth e r John Palmieri, '77, as soccer captain for the coming season. This is quite an honor for John as he is only a junior. In the past few years Gamma has become a soccer orientated house. Joining Palmieri on the squad this season will be Brothers Peter Weppler, '77, David White , '77, J Kurt Menges, '77, and Pledges David Vivian and G eo rge Utley Pledge John Teague is our sole football player and hopefully Jack will help th e t eam improve their dismal record of last year.

Although summer usually disperses the brotherhood all over the country this summer we all got together as much as possible. Brother Paul Vaczy, '75, held a party at his farm in Massachusetts with brothers attending from as far away as Nags Head, North Carolina. A total of six brothers attended the General Convention on Mackinac Island in Michigan and an enjoyable week was had by all.

With a sizeable pledge class being initiated this month once again we have completely filled our school-owned chapter house There have been problems in the past with th e administration placing ind epen dents in our midst

Four actives and a pledge compete in the tug of war durin g Carnival Week end at Washington & Jefferson.

June marked the end of Stephen E "the Mutter" Perlmutter's, '7 5, tenure as president at Mu Epsilon and the end of an era. Ted, the winner of the Davenport Prize for Excellence in the Study of Government , has gone to Washington. He will be succeeded by Andrew W. Brotman, '7 6, as president. Joseph M. Fisher, '76, returned as treasurer after a summer of research at Yale. The house will see a great deal of turnover this year: Betas Gregory Palkot, '76, Joseph Reiff, '7 6, currently studying in Mississippi , Edmund "Ted" Behan, '7 6, and David Neely, '76, soon to return from a semester in London, will form the Beta annex on Cross St. places will be taken by initiates Martin F. Plovnick, '77, David E. Kleinfeld, '77, Bradley A. Arrick, '77, and James A. Cohen, '7 6

Beta continu es to be well rep,resented on the softball field. The Bombers compiled an impressive record until they were defeated in the semifinal play -off round. The grumbling, at once agp.in narrowly missing the championship, was audible but so were the vows to go all the way next season. The chapter fared better at the rostrum; Andrew Brotman was the recipient of the Briggs Prize for debating, and his partner, David Kleinfeld, won the Rich Prize for excellence in oratory. May saw the first all-campus Beta Bash in recent history The party will long be remembered by house members and was regarded by all who attended as a smash As we pick up the pieces and prepare for next semester the future of the chapter looks promising. The food co-op will be continued and the departure of old Betas and the concurrent influx of new members assures the chapter of growth and vitality. We at Mu Epsilon are deeply grateful to our alumni for their support and confidence. (Daniel P. Fishbein '76 Secretary) ' '

WESTERN ONTARIO

The Delta Alpha spring term began with the initiation of eight new brothers. Considered by many to be the best pledge class in recent memory the newly initiated brothers are already begin,ning to valuable contributions to the chapter. ran at a fever pitch as the highlysptrtted excelled in all areas of campus and chapter hfe. In sports , a much improved Beta hockey team began the Western I.F C. season with the proven ability of the returning veterans, which later augmented by several players from the sprmg pledge class. Our strong following of brothers a?d enthusiasts were not disappointed! In a magmficent display of jouer du hockey par excellence, t?e b_rothers were narrowly defeated by D_elta Upstlon m the semifinals. Congratulations m order to all the brothers for an outstandmg sea_son and we look forward to an even better one thts fall The other Western Greek societies were no match however for the Beta Boatsmen . !he Boatsmen, led by Brothers Anthony Bristow, 76, and Cameron C. McLachlan, '75, handily won the annual W.I.F .C. boat races in fine style. Spec-

tators later commented on the brothers' exemplary maneuverability and tasteful sportsmanship in their thrilling photo finish victory.

Concerning social events, the coming of Western's "slack week" saw several brothers partake of some northern hospitality as they journeyed to Sudbury for a weekend of ice fishing and a welcome break from the books. Warmest thanks must go out to Brother Richard F Wuorinen, '76, and his gracious parents for a fantastic time. Brother Wuorinen is to be commended for his uncanny ability to lead us to where the 'big ones' were.

The Beta Ball in March, under the capable direction of Brother Mark A. Magee, '77, proved 1 again to be a highlight of the year. The presence of so many alums and that of our District Chief, David R. Foust, G.M.I., '65, along with the astute opening remarks of Brother Warren R. 1 Wolfenden, '70, culminated to provide a thoroughly enjoyable evening for all. The singing of the Beta Sweetheart Song during the festivities took on very special meaning for seven of the brothers. 1 Brothers Robert F. Dowswell, '77, Daniel J Girardi, '75, Douglas E. Harwood, '76, Sima Labus, '76, Dale S. Procunier, '76, Thomas A. Rolfe, '76 , and Alexander G. Sangster, '72, announced their engagement and wedding plans during this past term. We wish all these men and their Beta wives every possible blessing and hope that they will return often to the chapter house.

Other events included the annual Father ami Son Banquet in April, for which thanks go to Brother Sean W. Herbinson, '77, for the time he spent organizing this memorable event . A dozen brothers attended Delta Pi's Kentucky Derby Festival in May and would like to thank the Louis· ville chapter for extending, once again, their Beta hospitality. Finally, Brother Edward J. P. Milani, '74, capped off a busy term as he organized an Active Alum Picnic in June. It is hoped that this picnic will now become an annual event as it proved to be very enjoyable.

A new chapter executive was elected at the of the term: William L. McElhanney, '77, prestdent; Joseph Papalia, '76, and Richard Wuor· inen, vice president; Peter E. Day, '76, treasurer; and Mark A. Conran, '78, house manager.

In closing, I would like to express my thanks and appreciation on behalf of all the brothers to the outgoing executive and especially to those brothers who graduated. You have enshrined in our hearts an example of enthusiasm and Beta spirit that we could do no better than to try and equal. (Gary A. Lyon, '78, Corresponding Secretary)

WISCONSIN

Without a doubt the year 1974-75 was a truly successful one at the Alpha Pi chapter With the initiation of 14 pledges, paid bills and prospects for a full house fall semester, both actives and alumni have much to be proud of.

With all modesty, we have the pleasure at this time to announce that the Alpha Pi chapter has won the coveted Badger Bowl intramural IFC championship. This renowned glory cup, elusiv e from our grasp for so very long, now resides, for a year at least, at 622 Mendota Court.

In track , the Betas completel y dominated th e running events so much so that the winged warrior of victor y is now in the Beta trophy case. Bruce " Mercury" Huibregts e, '7 6, maintained his

rep utation as the fastest man on campus as I swept to victory in the 100 yd. dash. He the teamed with Dave Schleh, '75, Scott Bennett, '7 and David "Hermes" Huibregtse, '76, to set ne university intramural record in the 440 yd. rela Dave Huibr eg tse , who ran the last leg of tl relay, had earlier in the day easily winged his we to first place in the 220. Other firsts for the Pi Flyers were Michael S. Phillipp, '77, in the lo hurdles; Pledge David Zimmerman in the 440; an Ja m es L. Mellor, '75, in the mile. Also, spec! mention goes to John E Zupanc, '76, who won tt half mile for the third consecutive year.

Nonetheless track was merely a prelude 1 baseball. Gerald "Powerlifter" Schmidt, ' 77, crack€ three home runs in the play-offs to lead the Bet1 to their second consecutive softball title Jerry hard hitting combined with the fine pitching • Broth e r Michael J Schuler, '7 5 (he's dueled h way to a 16-1 record for two seasons) to provic t h e Betas with a leisurely trip to the winner dugout. Second baseman , William Wilson, '7 5, W f voted the Golden Glove Award by representatiw of t h e leagu e teams.

Lik e any other associated goal , effort and c1 operation were needed not only from the partie pants, but also from those who cheered them Sp ecia l thanks should be extended to Bernhat W Verhoeven, '7 6, and Michael S Philipp, '7 our past an d present athletic chairmen respe 1 tively. Both Brother Berny and Brother gave their services unselfishly to the athletic e1 deavor that even tually reaped such a high rewar r

Success for the Alpha Pi chapter did not en with the return of the Badger Bowl. The "Bull Gang" had the privilege of initiating the secon largest spring semester pledge class on tl: Wisconsin ca mpus .

Another first for the house was garnered b dancing Richard E. Decker, '77. Dick won an a expe nses paid vacation to San Francisco for co lecting the most money in a Dance-a-than. Tl: Dance-a- th an was sponsored by MacDonalc restaurant and its purpose was to raise mone for charity. Dick and his partner danced for hours and outlasted all other competitors, inclm ing Ronald MacDonald.

On a more serious note, all of the undergrad1 ates h ere at the Alpha Pi chapter wish to exten our congrat ulations to all of our graduatir. seniors of 1975. Special commendation goes 1 Charles R Gross, '75, for his acceptance into th University of Wisconsin Law School and Da• Schleh for having the distinction of being th only gr adu ate with a fulltime paying position

Like any new year, we should not look on! to where we are going, but also where we hav b een and where we are now. In that vein, hope t hat in the coming year not only will w gain new outstanding pledges, but also in add tion, watch each and every active grow a Jittl in t h e process.

Only through mu t ual assistance from one ai other in conj unction with continued alumni Sl!l port can such ideals reign supreme. (Paul J Oberer, '76, Corresponding Secretary and Steph _ J. Meyer, '76)
