A Matter of Worth

A wise man said he knew how to make a fortune - "Buy people for what they are v - sell them for what they think they are worth."

One may evaluate this prescription as he wishes. The point is, it raises the questi worth.

What is the worth of a government to its people, the world and history?

What is the worth of a corporation to its stockholders, the public, and common wea

What is the worth of a university to students, knowledge, posterity?

What is the worth of a religious communion (church, denomination, community)

communicants, social welfare, moral and ethical enlightenment?

What is the worth of a fraternity to an educational institution, to its initiated me past and present , to the development of trained and committed human beings?

What is the worth of a fraternity in terms of the things about which it is always tall namely: friendship, brotherhood, loyalty, character, cultivation of the intellect?

What is the worth of a fraternity in terms of its sprawling operation, elected or appoil leadership, proposed programs, ends to be accomplished, public and private image?

What is the worth of a Chapter which is an integral part of a fraternity? Alas, s Chapters have had brief periods of existence. Some Chapters have never gotten out of doldrums or risen above mediocrity. On the positive side, some Chapters have recogn 1 records of excellent achievement. Likewise, some have made vital contributions to a uni sity, community and members. '

What is the worth of a fraternity member? There are members who never, never are :' of the fraternity into which they were initiated. Many members in name remain in them middle. Others make a mark, leave a name for those who follow and bring honor to t: fraternity through a successful career.

Fraternities invest in headquarters, spend money on publications, program conventi' and develop for their members simple or elaborate ritualistic practices. Conscious of t one who keeps his head knows the principle asset a fraternity has, and maybe the only , durmg asset, is found in its leaders and members, who without question, have perso worth .

One thing a fraternity official should know is - he can't fool young people. The roo they see him they have his number and know whether or not he has personal worth.

Dean Wicks of Princeton once said, "Tragedy always follows when men more P.ower than they personally worth." That is true of everything we touch. Perso worth IS the only controllmg influence over the power men amass and the mysterious < unknown destiny they seek.

A century ago a rich man looking for a skullery boy visited an orphanage in London. I upon a lad, to whom he said, "If I buy you, will you be honest?" The boy replli S1r, I 11 be honest whether you buy me or not."

The worth of i?stitutions and persons can be understood when they cannot be bought sold, are above price and stand or fall, never bartering their supreme value - character

As ever, in -Kai-,

lOOth Anniversary Dinner in New York Honored Supreme Court Justices and Attracted 700

December 1 can be blustery and bitter in New York Cit y, but weather fa il e d to deter some 70 0 Betas from gathering in 1939, the 100th Anniversary of the fraternity's founding, at the University Club of New York to honor the two Betas who were justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Jas. Maxwell Fassett, Colgate '18, then president of the Beta Theta Pi Club of New York and organizer of the dinner, writes that " no gathering like it has ever been held in the history of Beta Theta Pi."

Speakers included William 0. Dou glas , Whitman '2 0, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; Wendell L. Willkie, Indiana '13, president of Common wealt h & Southern Co rporation and later the 194 4 Republican nominee for president of the United S tates; James L. McConaughy, Yale ' 06, president of Wesleyan University and Lt Gov e rnor of Connecticut; and Clar e nce L. Newton, Wesleyan '02, president of Be ta Theta Pi. Anot h er internationally famed Beta , Owen D Young, St La wrence 1894, was th e toastmaster.

" On e striking feature of the dinner wr impressed every man there," Fassett s: "was a rath er brilliant contratemps betw Mr Justic e Dou glas, who was the next to last speaker, and Mr. Willkie, who me that h e be placed last on the toast lis t. " Officers. of the University Club told after the dinner that it was the most attended function whic h had ever b ee n he the Club which had occupied the same bu ing since 1900.

Beta's Biggest Dinner

" There were a bout 700 persons present, eluding 50 members of the undergradu chapter at Columbia Uni ver sity, and they fil not onl y the main dining room but two adjo ing rooms. My impression is that it was · most-attended dinner w hich has ever h eld by Beta Th e ta Pi and rivaled the Centt nial Cel e br a tion at Miami in August 1939."

"Spig" Fawcett Served In Many Roles for Beta Theta Pi

KWarren Fawcett, Minnesota '2 6, who · served as Editor for eight years, Archivist for 15 and Historian 16, must have held some sort of record for scope and variety of service to the Fraternity. " Spig, " as he was best known, had held all three of these roles simultaneously prior to his resignation in 1976 following a stroke He succumbed on June 13, 1979 , after three years of ill health.

The Fawcett Beta service record, howev er, extends far beyond these positions. He was also District Chief for eight years and Vice President and Trustee for five (two years elected to serve a n unexpired term] As Historian , he was producer of Marching Along, a history of the Fraternity from 1935 to 1960. He also edited Seth Brooks' In Bet a's Broad Domain and five revisions of the Son of the Stars pledge manual. As an undergraduate, he served his university in various roles includin g president of the Dramatic Club and editor of the Minnesota Daily, the campus humor magazine and the co ll ege annual.

In professional life, Brother Fawcett spent ten years with the H J. Heinz Co. and then joined Luther Ford & Co ., a manufacturer of hous ehold products, becoming sales manager and a partner in th e firm. In state and civic affairs, he was chairman of the state Citizen's Committ ee on Public Education , an elected

member of the Minneapolis Board of Educ tion and active in Rotary and the Chamber Commerce

Brother Fawcett is survived by his wi Ging e r, two daughters and a son. Ginger n only was a big help to him in his editing but a friendly, familiar face at many Beta co ventions. The Fawcetts were the subject of Beta Magazine "cover story" in the Janua 1977 issue,

937 German Exchange Student Eagerly waits Fall Return to Visit OSU Brothers

meeting by an American and a German exchange student separated by 40 :... years of age has resulted• in a report

1 a distinguished German Beta's career.

California Rotary District 530 Go vernor

A. Jolly Batcheller, Oregon Stat e '36, armged for that District's international exlange student, Hugh Moran, to visit the 1rmer's Gamma Mu classmat e in Bonn, West ermany.

Karl H. Oedekoven, Oregon Stat e '37, came J the United States as an exchange student :om Heidelberg University for the 1936-37 cho ol year. Part of his scholarship was room nd board at the OSU Beta House which he ve ntually pledged and joined.

OSU Influenced Career

Karl maintains that his time at OSU deterrr in ed his interest in a n int ernationa l career. Norld War I had left a profound scar on him \s he spoke to Oregon service clubs , he felt w German who had survived the tragedies of hat first conflict would ever allo w a noth er o begin.

He would tell a particularly gruesome story Jf his home following an RAF bombing raid. ·ronically, after one account, a mechanical enteacher, Prof es sor Merryfield, stayed 1fter the program and introduced hims elf as a mem ber of that raiding squadron. The two men became lifelong friends ; each equa lly :o mmitted to world peace.

Unfortunately, war did again arise, and Karl was drafted into the German army m 1939. Two years l ater, he was seriously wo unded in Russia and spent the next 12 years work ing as a National Forest district officer in t he Harz Mountains.

United Nations Staff

In 1954, he began his international forestry career which eventua ll y led him to a Food and Agriculture position with the United Nations He served in 17 countries in Asia, Africa and Europe.

In 1965, the Oedekovens led both United Nations and government projects in Brazil.

Karl became Chief of Forestry , Timber Industries , Wildlife Management , Environment find Protection of Nature in the West German The Beta

government. He held this position from 1973 until hi s retirement in 1979.

Oedekoven received the Fernow Medal for extraordinary merits in international forestry from the Society of American Foresters and the German Forestry . Assn. in 1978. This distinguished award is given to one German and one American in alternate years.

Still "Keeps in Touch"

Karl Oedekoven and his wife Dorothea will start a l ecture tour of the United States this fall. Something very significant about Beta Theta Pi is evident from his comments that one of his most happily anticipated parts of this visit will be reunions with fraternity brothers and other OSU students with whom he has kept in touch for 42 years despite the ge ographical distanc e and a major world war.

Iowa State's "T." Wilson Started as Unemployed But Today, He "Pilots" the Busy Boeing Co.

L"ke many of today's graduates, Thornton A. Wilson, Jr., Iowa State '43, began a distinguished and successfu l career without a job.

T. Wilson, as he is called, is now chairman of the board and chief executive officer of The Boeing Co.

He explains his unemployed beginning. "One of my favorite mementos of Iowa State is a copy of the Daily Studen t, issued shortly after my graduation. It lists the engineering graduates and the companies in which they have found jobs. At the very bottom of the aeronautica l engineering article is the item, 'T hornton Wilson, Jr., not placed'."

There was a simple exp lanation: Wilson h ad broken his leg and couldn't follow through on his plans to join the Army Air Corps and had not yet applied for any other jobs. Nevert h eless, th e item remains a source of amusement to him and his colleagues.

He was born in Sikeston, Mo., Feb. 8, 1921.

Wilson was graduated from Iowa State University in 1943 with a degree in aeronautica l engineering. He joined Bo eing in 1943, leaving

briefly for a teaching ass ignment and advan study at Iowa State and a year at Califoi Institute of Technology where he earned M.S. in aeronautical engineering in 1948.

Won Minuteman Contract

The first Boeing airplane to bear a cant Wilson imprint was the dramatically n B-47 swept-wing bomber. He became oveJ project engineer of the B-52 program dur its latter stages and then led the proposal te which won the Minuteman intercontinen ballistic missile program for the company. took over active gene ral management of tl program and esta blish e d Boeing as a leader multi-contractor systems integration work vast size and complexity.

Wilson was el ected vice president in 1£ and in 1964 was placed in charge .of operati a and planning for corporate headquarters. T1 years later, he was named executive vi president and h e b eca me presid e nt in Ap 1968. The following year he was elected ch executive officer as we ll. In September 19 : h e was elected chair m an of the board, reta :

1g the function of chief executive officer.

Within the aeronautical industry Wilson is ften credited with leading Boeing out of its lump in the early 1970's. Analysts who follow he aviation industry not only give Wilson :redit for planning and cost control but also ·tre impressed by his leadership qualities and 1is top-management team.

In 1975 Wilson received the James Forrestal tward from the National Securi ty Industrial \.ssn. for leadership in promoting understand.ng and cooperation between industry and in the interest of national security.

Wilson himself speaks with special fondaess for the two honors he has received from [owa State. In 1973 he was awarded the Distinguished Achievement Citation. In 1978, the College of Engineering awarded him the Marston Medal in recognition of outstanding achievements in engineering

- He is married to Iowa State home economics graduate Grace Miller whose father, Roy Milfer, Sr., Iowa State, and brother, Roy Miller, Jr., Iowa State, are Tau Sigma alumni. The Wilsons have three grown children.

(Continu ed from page 37) was appointed, there has not been a d ay in subsequent American history when there has not been at least one Beta on that high Court. That record of Beta achievement for 61 consecutive years is without parallel in the history of American college fraternities or any

other comparable group. The total continuous service of these jurists is over 110 years in the aggregate.

"Justice Harlan served for more than 34 years and is one of a group of only three men in American history who ever attained that distinction.

"At one time , four of the justices were members of Beta Theta Pi. Of the four, Brother Van Dev anter was then the youngest justic e on the Court in point of service. Now he is th e senior Justice, and Justice Douglas is the junior justice."

Eight Bet as have sat upon the high Court: Harlan , Lamar, Lurton, Van Devanter, Douglas , William B. Woods, Western Reserve 1845, Stanl ey Matthews, Cincinnati 1842, and David J. Brew e r , Wesleyan 1855.

Sinc e Justic e Dou glas ' retirement in 1975, no other Beta has sat on the high court. Upon lea vi ng the bench, Brother Dou glas h ad s at on the Suprem e Court for 36 years, longer than any other justice in American histor y .

Rog e r Morley Provides Clue to. Ladder-Climbing: Learn All MaJor Functions

How does one make it to the top of a corporate ladder - say, one like American Express Company?

Roger H . Morley, Ohio ' 53, thinks he knows one way to do it : " Get to know responsibility for all major functwns that ex1st in a corporation."

And Brother Morley should have a pretty good id ea of how it's done. He stepped into the presidency of American Express two years ago. It ' s certainly not the biggest company in the world but in its field, it has to be just about th e best known. What probably is not as well known is that its chief is Firemens Fund, the sixth largest U.S Pr o perty and casualty insurance company .

Morley 's advice sounds logical - and it's true of his own background. But he read il y admits it's e asier said than done. In his own case, he confesses, "It wasn't good planning. It just worked out that way."

Cu ri osity Help s

Obviously, there have to be other factor s , too. Like right contacts. Right place, right time. And of course, performance when put to t h e test. In Brother Morley's case, an inquisitiveness that makes him want to fully understand how everything is being done in his firm. After all, it isn't every 48-year-old accounting b a ckground executive that gets to the p l ace h e's called " an accounting, financial and operatio n s manager of outstanding accomplishment" b y national business publications.

Specifically , Roger ' s " climb" reads like tlii s: 1957, a MBA from Harvard and landing a job as assistant to the vice president of finance of Stromberg-Carlson . 1958, promoted to controller, commercial products division. 1959, ass't to president , Parker-Kalon Division, General American Transportation Corp .

Another quality of Betas being leaders mong leaders is quite evident in this throng ,f Indiana legislators. Brother Lamkin is the a.ajority leader and Brother Phillips the miority leader in the House.

George Bellows' ''Beta Suite" Sketches Are Exhibited Permanently at Ohio State Chapter

Seven original sketches by noted artist George Bellows, Ohio State ' 05, went on display at the University's Alumni Hou se last winter. Completed by the prominent artist while he was a student and member of the chapter in the early 1900's, the sketches were discovered years ago in the house (by Seth Brooks) and hung on the chapter walls for a long time.

Now displayed in the cor ridor leading to t Alumni Loun ge, five of th e sketches ar e tit!t Columbus-born Bellows gai ned first reco g lion w hil e a student.

The Cheerlead&

By 1908, his paintings of 42 kids swimming ' the waterfront had won the second Hallrten prize at the National Academy. In 1916 , turned to lithography over protests of ends. During the next nine years, he pro.ced 195 lithographs and had won critics ck to the medium of lithography. He died in 1925, following complications ising from an emergency appendectomy. In 57, the National Gallery of Art selected the orks of George Bellows for the first one -man tOW in the gallery's history. Exhibited were 1 paintings, 83 drawings and lithographs and x etchings. The exhibit spanned Bellow's

career , including a portrait done in 1905 of Clifton Webb, when th e ac tor was a fellow student with Bellows at the New York School of Art.

The seven drawings loaned by the Ohio State Chapter , known as the Beta Th e ta Pi Suite, include " The Graduate, " " The Pledge," sketched before th e fireplac e of th e old Beta house, "The Cheerlead er," " Th e Se nior Prom ," "Strolling on the Ov a l " and two unnamed scenes - one believed to be of Lau ghey Bulen, also a Beta a nd Columbus football player.

Successful Conclave Held at Corvallis By District XXX

by Robert Lamvik , Oregon State '79

pleasant Saturday, March 31, 1979, brought the District XXX Betas to the Gamma Mu chapter house at Oregon State University for their first conclave in over five years. With the desire to become better Betas, the brotherhood came together under the planning of District Chief William Hemphill II, Oklahoma '45, Robert Lamvik, Oregon State '79, Richard Mettler, Oregon '79, and Steven Gall, Willamette '79, for a day devoted to improving relations and conqitions in the district. It was a great learning experienceone that will be remembered by the 60 w ho attended.

The day began with William Schaub, Oregon '73, past chapter president and secretary of the Portland Beta Rho Alumni Assn., presiding over a new officer orientation session. Fairn ess in administration and good communication with the General Fraternity were two items which Bill stressed. As an officer, one must earn respect in the house , and be very careful to set an example for the othe r members.

Welcome from Hemphill

Following lunch, a hearty welcome was then extended by District Chief Hemphill and a move to the living room got the conclave under way.

The first order of business was review of Beta Goals 1980 by Robe rt Lamvik , who re-

Gamma Mu sets up a chaw line for the visito rs at the Distri c t XXX Conclave

minded the gr oup that these goals were set the Betas by Betas from both large and sm chapters These are goals that should r ealized in individual chapters, as they are great importance to the fraternity as a who Various topics were then studied. Ma Miller, a gues t from the University of Oreg Dru g Information Center, gave an talk on alcohol awareness. He showed ht the ab use of alcohol and other drugs play large role in our society, and told how drugs can be consumed safely. William Bre nan , ass istant dean of students from Oreg Stat e University , gave a presentation on sch1 arship and scholarship programming at t chapter house. He provided the scholarsh chairmen exa mples of effective programs a1 gave an inspirational talk to the group. Ge: Birchell, City of Corvallis Fire Inspector, cussed fire safety. He talked of excessive of exte ns ion cords, and liabilities invol with ch apters w hose houses are not up to safety code. He also indicated that the o style soda-acid fire extinguishers are to I phased out and should be replaced.

Many Ideas Contributed

Several members also contributed to conclave. Wayne Bush , Oregon '81, led group in singing throughout the day, Jeffrey Swanson, Willamette '79, led an inte esting committee of the whole. Peter Grant I Oregon State '80, gave a summary of Gamrr. Mu's newly-revised financial manual , with phasis on the budget and residence contract Peter felt that the new financial manual coul be a big help if similar articles are adopted a district-wide basis . Brother Rich Mettler M.C. throughout the day, doing a great jo with introductions.

1mmittee told of the importance of a safetyinded house and added that all-house work 1rties are an excellent way to prepare for an nportant event. They cited as goals a constently clean kitchen and a reduction in :ock room waste and vandalism. 2) The nance committee reported that an assistant ·easurer could be a great asset to the house · it doesn't already have one. They said a contract is a "must" and thought of rorating house bills with a larger portion eing paid as a freshman so the bill for seniors be less, therefore making it more desirable or them to live in. 3) The scholarship commitee feels that a list should be compiled of smen and their majors so pledges know who to go to for help. Also, files hould be kept on old examinations, as well as :ourse contents, and professor evaluations. :hey set as a goal a new academfc award that vould go to the chapter with the most imJroved C.P.A. each year. 4) The rush commitee made a plea for support from both actives md alumni. If an alumnus has a recommenda:ion, he can find the address of the chapter in fhe Beta Theta Pi directory and send the rush his comments. This should be done early, however, as the rush chairman must b.ave time to contact the rushee well in advance of the academic year. 5) And finally, the alumni relations committee demonstrated the !mportance of a strong alumni group. They would like to see some younger alumni involved at the chapter level, and advocated for the Fraternal Fifties program. They felt that alumni should be rewarded for service to the chapter.

Heroics of James Rogers McConnell and the Lafayette Escadrille Recalled and Honored

James Rogers McConnell, Virginia '1 1, won innumerable admirers during his college and World War I days. He was one of the founders and first h eroes of the Lafayette Escadrille, according to an article by Col. Paul Ayres Rockwell, official historian of the Escadrille since its founding in 1916, writing in The State (N.C .) magazine.

The Lafayette Escadrille was a famed French Foreign Legion aviation unit composed of 38 American volunteers and four French officers which was formed prior to the U.S. entry in World War I.

Today, a monument honors McConnell outside the Moore County Courthouse at Carthage, N.C., a statue is on the campus of the University of Virginia-Charlotlesville and his name is inscribed in l etters of go ld on the wall of the Pantheon in Paris.

" Our country needs more men of Jim's courage and devotion," Rockw ell wrote The Beta Theta Pi "I know of no patriot of Jim's calibre."

Born and raised in Chica go, McConnell always strived to exce l. Durin g a summer vacation, Jim and another teenager drove the first automobile trip from Chicago to New York City. At the University of Virginia, h e was editor of the yearbook, Corks and Curls, and held numerous campus offices.

In his book, Flying for France, Broth er McConnell explained why h e became a flyer for France: " I had come from Cart hage , N.C., in 1915, and worked with an American ambulance section in the Bois-l e -Pretr e. Convinced the U.S. ought to aid in the struggle agamst Germany, it was plainly up to me to do more than drive an ambulance. So I made up my mind to go into aviation."

Trained in the Pyrenees Mountains, he was breveted as a pilot Feb. 6, 1916 , and became one of the first four American pilots with the newly-formed Lafayette Escadrille.

Hailed by Hall

famous author James Norman Hall (Mutmy on the Bounty), " James McConnell's in war, and the changes wrought in him by overseas, epitomizes changmg pomt of view of the great majorof Americans who volunteered to do somethmg for France before our declaration of war."

Flying scores of sorties, McConnell suffe a serious back injury in a crash landing. 1 daunted, he quit the hospital and r ej oined Escadrille on March 12, 1917. S eve n days March 17, he was killed in action be the first American citizen kill,ed after U.S. e ntered World War I.

His decorations included the Croix Guerre, Volunteer Combatant ' s Cross, i Battle of Verdun Medal and others. The munity of McConnell, N.C., is named for

Woods ·and Descendents Are Integral 'art of Nebraska Beta History

y John C. (Jack) Whitten, Nebraska '24

he 1979 " Nebraska Dinner" of th e American Newcomen Society, held April 25, 1979, in Lincoln with more han 300 in attendance, honored the Lincoln 'elephone and Telegraph Company on its 75th mniversary. It also was very much a Beta 1ccasion.

Lincoln T & T - 7th largest independent elephone company in the U.S. - was founded n 1904 by Frank H. Woods, Nebraska 1890¥14 on Alpha Tau's chapter roll - and for all ts 75 years has been h ea ded by him or hi s lescendents, all of them Betas. "F . H ." was Jresident and chairman of the board from t904 to 1946, continuing as board chairman mtil his death in 1952. He was succeeded b y Jis son, Thomas C. Woods, Yale '18 until his :Ieath in 1958, followed by the present chairman, Frank H. Woods, Jr ., Yale '28. S eco nd in command as president of th e company is th e founder's gra ndson, Thomas C. Woods, Jr ., Nebraska '43 .

Grace at the dinner was offered by Dr . Oti s Young, Westminster '53, pastor of Lincoln's First Plymouth Congregational Church Frank Woods' foresight and good judgment

Frank H Woods Nebraska 1890

were of great value not on ly to the company h e founded, but to the telephone industry and its customers in ge n era l. Lincoln Telephone, for exa mpl e, was the first company of any size to ch ange over to the automatic or dia l system . In those ea rl y days independent telephone companies were springing up a ll over. Many towns had both a Bell System company and an ind ependent; if he wanted comp l ete coverage, a customer had to install and pay for both services.

Spokesman for Independents

Frank Woods had earl y recognized the necessity to e limin ate this costy duplication. In 1910 h e was el ected the first president of the new U.S. Ind epende nt Telephone Assn. A strong believer in interchange service between all telephone companies, h e headed a committee to negotiate wit h the top management of the Bell Syst e m to e liminat e competition an d to provide the independents with access to Bell ' s long-distance lines. The independ e nts were scattered, sma ll and most of them hard up; A T & T was unified, big and powerful.

After seven months of hard n egotiating, the committee worked out a plan wit h Bell that provided co nsolidat ed telephone service for the entire United Stat es.

As part of the agreement of 1912 , Bell sold Lincoln T e l e phon e the Bell exc h anges in Southeast Nebr aska and withdrew from the area.

Automatic Electric Company was formed to manufactur e th e equipment 'for the dial system. Frank Woods had a substantial interest. Th e Bell System m anufacturers alleged innumer a ble patent infrin gements - a serious threat not only to Automatic Electric but to the whole concept of the dial telephone. Frank Woods represented Automatic Electric against the Be ll Syst em. His success in such important controversies led to his engagement by Eastern interests in the reorganization of O'Gara Coal Co; it was successfully reorganized as Sahara Co al Co , and Woods was made president. Similarly, he was called into Addressograph Co . in 1929 a nd was made chairm a n of th e bo ard; in 1930 , h e brought about the m erger of Addressograph with Multigraph Corp. and served as chairman of Addressograph-Multigrap h until his death.

Only twice since World War II has there been a lapse when the treasury ran bare or the thenpresident never got around to scheduling an activity - for three years in the '6 0 's and again for three or so in the '70's. In the past two years, two or three picnics have been held and a few scattered luncheons.

Now, however, a live group of "acting officers" have gotten together and plan rejuvenation starting with a reorganization-and-dues letter in midsummer to some 1,500 Bay Ar'ea Betas. The "acting officers" are: Bruce M. Lloyd, Brown ' 69, Pennsylvania '77, president; Michael Furtney, USC '60, vice president; J. Edward Short, USC '61, treasurer; and Kevin Moran, California '78, secretary The association is now being called the San Francisco Bay Area Beta Theta Pi Club.

ALABAMA

; Although the Delta Theta chapter found the spring semester to be rather hectic with its many activities, everyone still managed to devote a great deal of time and effort to the planning of a successful fall rush. Under the direction of Rush Chairman David G. Hymer, '61, numerous letters were sent to potential rushees. Summer rush parties in four major areas throughout the state were the result of careful and early planning by many brothers. In an attempt to increase the number of rushees from the Birmingham area, a formal · reception was held in June at the Hilton Hotel on Red Mountain. Through our combined efforts and alumni assistance we are expecting our fall pledge class to be very outstanding.

Campus Honors. Outstanding Betas continue to receive recognition from the university for their leadership and high academic achievement on campus. Three brothers graduated magna cum laude. They were Robert Keenan, '79, C. Scott Ja ckso n, '79, and Martis E. Phillips, '79 Mark S. Boardman, '79, graduated cum laude. Brother Jackson also was tapped into the Jasons Soci ety and Omi cron Delta Kappa, a leadership honorary.

Four men from Delta Th e ta will be entering law school this fall. Robert Keenan and C. Scott Ja ckso n will attend the University of Virginia Law School ·while Kurtis M . Kennedy, '79, will head west to the University of Tulsa. Mark S. Boardman will remain close to home by attending law school at the University of Alabama We are proud of all of these outstanding men and wish them b est of luck.

Intramural Leader. 'Barna Betas were soundly established as an intramural leader by winning the campuswide track meet last spring Outstanding runners included John Gamble, '62, Brendan Begley, '61, David Hickman, '61, Joseph Cummings, '61, and Ron al d Hughston, '61. Their hard work was de ep ly appreciated.

Social events during the spring included Pancho Villa, our annual theme party. Beta spirit soared high throughout the three-day event. A softball game h el d on the last day pitted the alumni against the actives with the active chapter ending up on top. Sp ec ial thanks goes to Mark Boardman who coordinated the extravaganza

On a final not e, I would like to encourage all alumni to write or visit us this fall. We always enjoy h earing from you! (Ricky M. Stricklin, '61, Corresponding Secretary)

ARIZONA STATE

Here at the Delta Tau chapter the spr in g semester ended, but it left many fond memories. During Greek Week '79 [this was the silver anniversary of Greek Week here at ASU) many activities with other houses

The Beta Theta Pi I Fall1979

took place. The theme was "Going Bananas." In the Greek Games events of this week, our team [which consisted of the Sigma Nu fraternity and the Delta Gamma sorority beside s us) was called "Orangutans. " We did very good in the individual heats but when the scores were tallied, we came out with 7th place.

However, in Greek Sing, t h e most important event of Greek Week, we finished in 2nd place. Our Greek Sing partners were the Theta Delta Chi fraternity, the Gamma Phi Beta sorority, and the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. This really is exciting to us because for all the years we've been in Greek Sing, we've placed or been mentioned.

Regrettably, we are losing an instrumental link in our chapter by his graduation. He is a founder of our chapter and has been active all his college life. His name is Tod D. Lashway, '79, a nd he is going to be sorely missed. However, we are happy to say that Tod landed a job with Goodyear and will b e staying in the valley.

Four Initiates

To our good fortune, we have initiated four men into our chapter. This will help relieve the loss of those who have graduated. These men are just what we needed and will go far in our chapter.

In other events, serenading is still rated number one, with philanthropies running a close second One philanthropic event which really went well was taking some clients from the Arizona State Hospital out on a picnic. The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sponsored the event with us. We will probably be doing events like -this a l ot more in the future. We'd like to thank S'teven N. Berger, '60, for being such a great philanthropic chairman.

Finally, several members have moved into our new house. Hopefully we will have the hous e completed soon.

Have a great semester and we hope to hear from all of our a lumni and from all th e other chapters. (Lance Kuester, '63)

AUBURN

The brothers of Delta Zeta welcomed spring [and warm weather) with enthusiasm and confidence, for we sensed a really fine quarter ahead. By initi ating two fine men and pledging five more in the quarter's first three weeks, we got off to a good start. Also, our chapter was pleased to win the third-place trophy in the 1979 competition sponsored by AOPi Sorority for most outstanding among the 30 campus fraternities at Auburn.

Betas w ill be very active again this year o n campus Brother David Oberman, ' 60 , was reelected to the Auburn Student Senate and chosen to be its president pro tempore. Keith D. Broach, '60, and Vance P . Baker, '60, will serve as SGA representative on the Auburn City Council a nd SGA Director of Student

Among our intramural teams, the badminton a nd hors shoes teams reached the playoffs, and the Beta track team made a strong showing in the annua l track meet. The sports highlight of our quarter, though , was th e performance of the Beta-KAMF boxing team in Auburn's annual A-Club Boxing Tournament. Kevin H. Cochtan , '82, David D. Duchene, '79 , and Gregory L. Garmon , '82. spent many long h ours training together in preparation for the fight. Broth e rs Cochran and Duchene fought their way into the finals of the tournament. We are looking forward to some championship trophies in this year's bouts

Dr . Taylor Honored

April 21 found our chapter house filled with active a nd alumni brothers on Alumni Beta Day The day's agenda included alumni association and house corporation m ee tings, an active vs. alumni softball game, and an evening party. The chapter honored its founder and advisor, Dr. Edward B. Taylor, Davidson '42, in his 40th year of Beta brotherhood , for outstandi ng service to Delta Zeta chapter. Auburn Univ e rs i ty's yearbook, The Glomeroto , also was dedicated to Dr. Taylor, who has long served as its faculty advisor.

Pensacola Beach, Fla. was the site of our annual Spring Housepa rty, complete with 95 Betas, Daug hters of the Diamond, and guests. Those who went will long remember the weekend as a nonstop good time.

We wish the best to our brothers who graduated spring quarter, particularly Jeffery D. Larson, '79, and Michael A. L. luell er, '79, who h ave e nt ere d medical school , and ]ames A. Fleming, '79, who has begun law studies.

Delta Zeta is anticipating its b est fall rush ever under the dynamic leadership of Rush Chairman David A Strickland, '81. We are confident that we will find

the men who will add greatly to our thriving, spirit e chapter. (R David Thompson, '80, Correspondmg Set retory)

BALL STAT

With anot her yea r of school co mpleted at Ball Stalt th e Delta Iota Betas have made many strides forwar c A total of 42 new members have be e n in;tiatedbringing our total mem b ers hip to over 100. Bet a moved up scholastica ll y every quarter last year. Man improvements were made to the hous e, including ne\ furniture and other redecora ting wh ich was done dut ing the summer. Our alumn i support is growing an t we look forward to an eve n b e tter relationship witl our alums this year.

The spring quarter provided many activities includ ing our a nnual Parents Day Picnic. The picnic hrough a great number of parents to the house for a wonder ful afternoon wit h their sons.

Betas finished third over-all in intramural sport again last year. We finished in th e fin.al f.our in soft ball, vo lleyball and indoor soccer. A th.Ird m tr ac k anc first in swimming helped prove that mmor sports hell gain valuable points.

One of the biggest eve nts every year for the Delt 1 Iota chapter a t Ba ll State University ls competing it the annual Bike-A-Tha n With m a ny alumni, friends re latives and District Chief Mich ae l D. Moriarty, In diana '72, in attendance, Be ta spirit ran high. The rae< proved to be exciting for the Betas even though W f did not have the good fortune to win the 80-lap event

To understand the importance of last year's rac e one ne e ds some background information on the firs team Betas - Josep h Tatman , ' 79, David Lies, '79 David Mathews, '79, Dw ay n e Matias '79, and Josep Harbottle, '81. In the 1978 Bike-A-Than, Joe Tatma was lea ding on th e fina l la p when he suffered severe leg cramps, and as a result, Be ta Th e ta Pi sadly finishec third. Beta riders have tremendous pride in striving to win Bike-A-Than, and to reach their goal, they trai all year round for this one rac e

A Tough Break

The stage is now set for the 1979 race. A group o r acers and fans, both hungry from a y e ar without victory, gathered at the track, confident that thi wou ld be our year. Brother Tatman began the rac e from the inside of the second row. As the race began , the captain quick l y pulled in the lead and then settled back to draft behind a cou ple of riders. Suddenly , while the pack comp l ete d th e ir second laps , a wreck occurred on the front stretch. Jo e Tatman was down! With a broken clavic le, " Jo ey T." managed to pedal to his pit to keep his tea m in the race.

At this moment of the race, all of the Beta Theta Pi supporters were disheartened to the point of tears. However, as the race progressed, something happened which h e lped us to overcome our frustration. Th e remaining members of th e Be t a' s first team were continuing to ride even though they had no chance to compete with the lea d er s Their new cause was to draft for and encourage t h e riders of Beta Theta Pi 's second team, whic h was independently entered as the " Griffins."

To all of those who were awa r e of what was going on , this tremendous display of pride and spirit was just overwhelming The combine d e fforts of the first and seco nd teams r esulte d in an independent championship for the "Griffi n s" as we ll as a fourth place finish over-all. The memb ers of the second team were Philip Drake, '79, Richard Konopasek , '82, Steven Longstreet, '80, Kerry Rose, '81, a nd Patrick Fox , '80.

The Beta Theta Pi I Fall 1919

The frustration of Bike-A- Than '79 w as conquered by the pride and spirit of Beta Theta Pi , and the riders for the Delta Iota chapter will b e back in 1980 stronger than ever. · ·

Also, it is interesting to note that on the eve of the race, the sun set in the most beautiful shades of pink and blue over the Ball State campus - Wooglin was smiling on us. [Michael L. Thayer, '80, Correspo ndin e Secretary and Randall 0. Key, '82)

Th e effici e ncy of the previous administration , led by President Grimes , helped to boost the morale of the Chi chapter, as well as the over-all G.P.A.

Campus Leaders

There were a lot of individual achievements that also helped to boost the morale a nd the reputation of the chapter as well. Leading th e way was Step h e n R.

To all Betas, the Chi chapter wishes you a happy and productive academic 1979-80 year. [Calvin L. Johnson, '79, Acting Secretary)

BETHANY

Graduation time was a very exciti n g and happy time for 17 Psi chapter Betas.

All th e brothers did well on their comprehensive exams with one, William Railing, '79, rec e iving distinction. Although this is a great time , the underclassmen of Psi cha pt er are feeling a huge loss of great Betas.

During th e spring semester , 17 new Beta pledges were initiated into Psi chapter after compl e ting all the pledging activities. As initiates they ar e already showing th e ir ent husi asm in anticipation of act i vities in the upcoming year We feel we hav e sel e cted a quality group of men who will continue th e many traditions of our ch apter.

Again Psi chapter was well-represent e d in interscholastic a nd club sports. The Beth any Co ll ege baseb a ll team won the PAC Championship wi th the h elp of seven Betas, 4 of whom were starters for most of the season. Scott Lanz, '79 , b alled an incredible 587 to be named PAC M.V.P. and first t ea m AllConference. Lee Frankhouser, '80, played outstandingly in le ft field an d batted .480.

Again the big event every brother was looking forward to was the 16th running of the Beta Little 500. This year ' s effort was one of the finest ever. More than 3,500 independent spectators and Greek p articipants jammed the Union Oval on S aturday, May 6, for

the Be ta 500. The even t was carried off smoothly with Pi Kappa Alpha winni n g th e fraternity division and Alpha Phi winning th e sorority division A goo d time was had by everyone o n h and, and a special thanks and congratulations are in order for the coordinator of the eve nt , Mark Kindelin, ' 79, and his assistant, Robert Everden, '80. Congratulations a lso are in order for Pledg e Brent Van Vooren who coord in ate d a very successful Pre-Beta 500 All-Campus Happy Hour which was held at our h ouse.

After the 500, the brothers, joined by their dates and many returning alum ni , e njoyed a fine date party at the Bowling Green City Park Pa vilion. It was a great way to cap off a very successful and enjoyable weekend.

Brothers Thomas Hushion, ' 8[)., Bain Wassel, '79, and Michael Miller, '60, com p ete d in and won the annual Sigma Alpha Epsi lon Hogamunga It's a greased pig contest sponsored b y Si gma Alpha Epsilon for charity. The brothers a lso com p e ted in the Phi Kappa Tau Basketball Tournament and plac e d second.

Elections were held at the e nd of the quarter and many fine men were e lected to office. Michael Hawkins, '60, was electe d to replace Frederick Greenwood, ' 79, as president; and Da vi d Reed , '60 , was elected

mes were obtained. The Beta house also sponsored he first annual Beta Riverside Music Festival. But ue to bad weather the festival had to be held inside, tlti ch damaged the special effects. Over-all the night vas a complete success with a variety of activities on :ach floor of the house. Attendance by the campus 1'/as great.

In the sports category, although we weren't a camJUS threat, we've had our good times. We placed first md sixth in "B" and "C" league basketball, respectfully; second in swimming; fifth in softball; and fourth 1n wrestling. For some unknown reason, b e tter than half of the intramural sports were dropped last year.

HOUSTON

The men of the Delta Upsilon chapter enjoyed a successful spring semester highlighted by the 5th annual Beta Beach Romp at Surfside Beach in Fre eport, Texas. We wish to thank the brothers of the Delta Rho chapter for attending the Beach Romp, and are looking forward to their party on the Brazos River. Elections were held at the end of the semester; we wish to recognize Richard (Slam Dunk] Jones, ' 80, as our new president, and are looking forward to a prosperous year under his leadership. The summer brought to ·us three great pledges - all native Houstonians. Many plans were made during the summer for a 'successful fall rush, with the possibility of a formal rush coming to the University of Houston. This past summer not only brought much excitement and enthusiasm to the brothers of the D elta Upsilon chapter with the Gen e ral Convention being held at the fraternity's birthplace , but also brought much sorrow as Fernando Arturo Rodriguez, '79, was spending his last semester with us as an active member. Fernando, number "3" on the rolls of the Delta Upsilon chapter was a guiding force and a source of strength for us during good and hard times in the chapter. The brothers will miss him greatly. (Greg ory A. Winslow, '80, Corresponding Secretary)

IOWA

The men of the Alpha Beta chapter of Beta Theta Pi are all back into the swing of classes at the University of Iowa. Beginning school in late August forces a rather early termination of summer, and a quick return to the books But fall not only brings classes back to Iowa City but Hawkeye football as well. This year should prove to be a great season for all of the fans in the Greek system since the initiation of the "Super Hawks" fan club. The membership fee allows all the members to sit in one section of the stadium, as a whole, and also provides funds for a few pregame festivities. It should turn out to be a very successful and unifying venture for the entire Greek system.

Two excellent rush parties were held during the summer by the men of Alpha Beta. Both the Iowa City and Des Moines parties proved highly successful, as again we move into another school year with a filled hous e and numerous pledges anxiously awaiting the Beta experience.

The Alpha Beta chapter also was pleased to welcome the arrival of a new group of Beta girls. Four

of our graduating seniors were wed this past summer in fine Beta fashion - excellent attendance at all four ceremonies added to the festivities.

A large delegation of Alpha Betas attended the 140th General Convention at Miami University. All those attending returned with freshly renewed Beta spirit, and numerous constructive ideas for successful chapter management. Th e return to our birthplace was an inspirational experie nc e for the brothers and their enthusiasm was well dispersed throughout the chapter.

A new physical addition to the Alpha Beta chapter also was completed during the summer. A terraced rock garden and patio were built upon the foundation of the old Alpha Tau Omega house which burned down nearly 20 years ago. This venture to improve our property next door provided us with an enormous area for recreation and partying.

All the events of the summer were brought back, in some form, to the house , and they should all contribute to the commitment to keep Beta number one at Iowa. That commitment continues to be our goal for the 1979-80 school year, and with the enthusiasm generated during the summer, all of our goals appear to be well within reach. (Thomas K. Wuest, '81, Corresponding Secretary)

IOWA STATE

Spring quarter on the b eautiful Iowa State campus is the most active time of year for the Tau Sigma Betas. This past year was no exception. Highlights of the quarter included the initiation of new brothers and Li ' l Sis' as well as activities including Greek Week and Veishea.

The Initiation Banquet was a great way to start off the new quarter as 12 fine young men were admitted to the ranks. We are quite proud of these men and feel that they have a lot to contribute "to the chapter. We would also like to express a special thanks to L. Christopher Richardson, ' 70 , for his messa"ge to us. His words of wisdom touched the hearts of everyone present.

Successor to the Ring. One of the highlights of the banquet was the continuation of one of our most cherished traditions at Tau Sigma . Just as Mark Pendleton, Jr., '45, passed the coveted Beta ring on to Robert Schory, '45, back in 1945, so James A. Stauch, '79, named his successor to the ring in 1979 Congratul ations to John C. Chrystal, '80, son of Thomas Chrystal, '51 , for being the outstanding junior to receive the ring. I'm sure that Brother Chrystal will wear it with pride during his senior year.

First Anniversary of Daughters. The initi a tion of our new Li ' l Sis' was as special this year as it was last year, for it marked the first anniversary of the "Daughters of the Diamond" organization. Eight new girls were activated, bringing the total number to 23. Gregg M. Neveln , '80 , is the coordinator for the girls and with his hard work they have become a great asset to the hous e. They help with such projects as Homecoming, Veishea and rush. Spring semester we got together with them and competed in Greek Week With the "hard work and organization of Micha el F Shimon , '81, our Greek Week chairman, everyone had a good time and many lasting friendships were found.

The big push for spring though was Veishea. Represented on Veishea Ce ntral Committee this spring was Brother St auch serving as business manager We also had two men on subcommitte es this year. Brother Neve ln was in charge of promotional distribution and Gary E. Laski, '79, was the general artist in charge of all art work.

The Beta Theta Pi I Fall

KANSAS STATE

he Gamma Epsilon Betas continue to dominate the program at Kansas State. For the 14th traight year, the Betas have captured the AIIJniversity trophy while competing with 26 other fraemities on campus.

A super effort by our track team clinched the title :s Betas swept the 880 -relay, 440-relay, and the mileelay. The 880-relay team of Gregory Hamilton, '81, m d Fred Ford, '79, brok e the oldest existing intranural track record by a half a second to set a n ew recor d time of one minute:30.8 seconds. The Betas also Josted victories in eve ry doubl es event - handball, racquet ball, horseshoes and tennis.

Our annual Beta Pig Formal was outstanding due to the efforts of our social chairmen James VonFeldt, '80, and Robert Eatherly, '80. The formal and banquet were held at the Holiday Inn Holidome in Hutchinson and John Oswald , '52, spoke about life at Kansas State during his school years. As usual we had a strong alumni showing at the banquet and our alumni chairmen look forward to working closely with our alumni during the coming year.

Much accomplishment was made towards painting the trim on the exterior of the house as well as the interior, and we expect to complete painting the house this fall. New attic insul atio n will save on our fuel bills

Chariot Relays Revived

The Lambda Chi chariot relays will be revived at Kansas s tate this fall which involves two teams of two men pulling a girl in a cart around a 440-yard track. Gamma Epsilon captured the trophy for nine straight years during the event's existence and the 1964 team set a record time of 50.8 seconds. The Beta actives are confident of bettering the time with some advice from our alumni. We welcome any correspondence from our alumni through Michael Sanders, '80, our alumni secretary.

Scholastically , the Betas remain strong with a ranking in the upper quartile among fraternities. However strong emphasis will be placed on improving our house grade point average to place the Betas back on top.

The Gamma Epsilon chapter is proud to announce the return of Helen Adams to succeed Millie Evans as our housemother for the coming year. We are sure that her enthusiasm and support for the Kansas State Betas will b e an inspiration to a ll of us.

As usual the Kansas State chapter was well represented at the 140th General Convention with Jeffrey Wilbur, '81, R. Gary McQuire, '80, Douglas Adams, '82, Mike Sanders, R. William Manning, '80, and Ken Voss, '80, attending.

Our fall semester officers include Gary McQuire, president; Mike Sanders, vice president; and Jim VonFeldt, treasurer. (Stephen Cotner, '80, Corresponding Secretary)

KENYON

The beginning of a new school year in September is a joyous, yet sad time for those of us in Beta Alpha. The sorrow stems from the absence of t h e 12 seniors who graduated last May. Although these fine young men will go their separate ways, we can be sure that they will never forget the fond memories of our fraternal bond.

Still as some depart, others arrive. Therefore, on April 7, 1979, as a part of our tOOth anniversary cere-

mony, we initiated 13 n ew brothers into the fraternal bond and brotherhood of Beta Theta Pi. It should be noted. at this time that the tOOth anniversary party, orgamzed by Clarence Grebey III , '81, was a complete success - enjoyed by all who attended. Th e initiation program was held at the temple and it served as a capstone for the lOOth anniversary celebration. We actives at Beta Alpha are extremel y proud of our new brothers, and hope that they receive the benefits and fulfill the requirements of being a Beta .

Honors It recently came to our attention that the Beta fraternity here at Kenyon is ranked second, academically, among the 10 fraternities on campus. Our academic leadership was best exemplified by the graduating sen iors. As many of you , know, Kenyon is one of the few institutions of higher learning that requires students to pass a comprehensive examination before graduation. We are proud to say that all 12 of our seniors passed with no problems, and several received distinction. David Nees, '79, John Batchelder, '79, and William Samstag, '79, attained distinction in economics; Michael Smith, '79, received honors and distinction in psychology; Terrence Brog, '79, received honors and distinction in physics and Dave Smi th received distinction in history. Brother Batchelder was inducted into the honorable order of Phi Beta Kappa at the graduation ceremonies. Another academic honor was received by Wayne Lingafelter, '81, who was asked to participate in the Economics Honor Seminar here at Kenyon. All in all it was a very successful year for Beta Alpha.

Many Varsity Athletes . Beta Alpha athletes comprised a very substantial part of the Kenyon spring sports teams with several brothers participating. Joseph Genre, '80, and David Gingery, '81, played intercollegiate baseball; Mark Dailey, '81, Michael DaileJI. '79 , Daniel Quinn , '80, a nd David Graham, '81 , participated in track; a nd C. Scott Smith , 81, was on the lacrosse team.

Hence, we at Beta Alpha extend our best wishes to all of our alumni, and assure them that our c h apter's actions here on "The Hill" continue to reflect the high standards and aspirations of the fraternal bond ofkai -. (Douglas E. Beach, '81, Secretary)

KNOX

House improvements. The Xi chapter house is looking better than it has for a long time. Many improvements hav e been made, including new carpet in g, new light· ing and additiona l furniture for the first floor. More repairs are planned for the future.

Sports. Again Xi chapter exce ll e d in Knox sports. Spring semester saw Betas starring on the baseball, track, lacrosse and golf teams. One of our three house softball teams won the intramural softball crown At the time of this writing, spring football practice found about half of Xi's 50 members , includ ing Offensive Captain Mark Hahn, '81, preparing for the upcoming season

Alumni As a lw ays we would be pleased to hear from our alumni as we are trying to increase our tips to them. The reinstatement of the Xi Torch is soon to come (Glen Johnson, '81, Secretary)

LAWRENCE

The biggest news at Gamma Pi in recent months has been the election of the very ab le-bod ied Robert Cohen , '80, as the newest in a long line of Beta presidents. Richard Sheridan, ' 79, stepped down after a reign that a lw ays will be remembered for its Swamp

The Beta Theta Pi I Fall 1979

Stew and Gelatinous Goo. Brother Cohen's " iron-hand" rule is sure to gel the chapter back on its feet . and with men lik e " fightin " Robert Blasio, '81 , around, what could go wrong

On May 11, a fin e pledge class of 13 was in;rated into our hallowed ranks . Before gaining admission to our very fraternal fraternity, all pledges were required to pass the annual Gamma Pi Pledge (trivia) Test.

In the classroom , our noted scholar, K. Eric Anderson, ' 85 , continu ed to amaze us with his grandiose literary works .

Athletic Stars

On th e athletic fields , the bawdy boys of Gamma Pi once again revealed their dominance over th e r e st of the campus On the baseball diamond , john Bill , '79, proved once again that he is th e mainstay of the pitching staff An outstanding 8-2 season was capped orr with a grueling back to back double-header win against our arch rivals Ripon College john, who is on his way to law school , is still fighting off the pro scouts who harass him day in and day out. On the h ardcourts. the Betas are privileged to have the mos t va l uable player and the co-captains of th e basketba ll team. Rob Cohen , after a slow sophomore year, came back during his junior year to lead the Vikes to a second -place in conference , which is the best record in a good 40 years. Rob was th e n honored with the coveted MVP award, along with being voted cocaptai n . ' ,

This writing marks the last time that yours tru ly wie lds the mighty pen of Beta Theta Pi. As a gradua ti ng senior, I am ab le to re fl ect upon th e past four years as a Beta, and have come to t h e conclusion t h a t I've had a good time - one that I'm going to reme mb er for a lo n g, long time. Wha t more can I say? [James Palm, ' 79)

LOUISVILLE

As th e spring semester came to a close, th e brothers of Delta Pi looked back with pride on the year ' s activ it ies. A pulling together of the Beta spirit by the brothers, when the chips were down , has sh own this writer the true meaning of brotherhood Even though th e chapter faced many pro b lems dur ing the year, the successes outweig h ed the failures tremendous l y. T herefore, I would like to th ank th e two me n respo n sib le - Mic h ael Freeman, '80 , and Mark We h rley, '81. W e cou ld not have do n e it without you

In sports, t h e Betas fell sh ort of t h e A ll- Campus title but proved to be tough competition for our rivals. As in football and basketball, t h e brot h ers proved to be the best in volleyba ll too. T h e brothers of Delta Pi anticipate being stro nger competitors this year.

The men of Del ta Pi would like to send a special th anks to all th e Betas w h o attended and made Derby W eekend such a success. Also, we hope to see everyone again in May of '80.

In closing, we extend our wishes of good fortune an d prosperity to all the Beta c h apters for th is 1979-80 academic year. (Robert B Fuller , ' 81, Corresponding Sec r etary)

MINNESOTA

Beta Pi chapter m e mbership is steadily growing. At this writing, rush is going well and we are preparing far summer and fall rush. Thus far this spring we have pledged seven new members Fall semester we are on a full house with 30 members living in. We also are working on the Towni e Program. An improved townie room and better com munic at ion are ou r hop es to bring the townie membership up.

The past few weeks the house h as been involv ed in preparing for Campus Carnival. This is a fund raiser for the American Lung Assn. Gamma Phi Beta was the sorority we were inv o lved with for the event. Overall the carnival raised over $27,000.00. It was an exce ll ent time for a ll involved

Intramural sports also h ave been doing very well at Beta Pi. At the present time we are ranked in the number five spot in to ta l participation points The bawling team has been cons istent l y one of the leaders in th e league.

The Beta Theta Pi I Fall1979

Academically winter quarter was an excellent one for the house. Hopefully t his high scholarship can be maintained in the future now that the house is placing more emphasis on the cultivation of the intellect.

New officers were e l ected spring semester with George Hook, '80, being e l ected the president. Other officers include Scott Kohs, '80, vice president; James Mortensen, '81, treasurer; and Mark Nirschl, '81 , secretary. Good Luck to all the new officers and hopefully they will keep up the good work that has improved the house so much in the past few years

Alumni relations h ave improved greatly There is much talk of badly needed renovation being done on the house this summer Coming up is an alumni banquet to be h eld at the I D S Tower. Hopefully it will h e lp to better relations with our alumni.

Coming up soon is Mothers Tea Party which we h ope to incorporate into an annua l event. Th e tea party is to let the mothers see where and how their sons are living Not to l eave out the fathers, we will be havin g a Fathers Day at one of the football games fall semester

The hous e is growing and improving and hop es are hi gh that this will continue. (Mark N irs chl , '81, Secretary)

MISSISSIPPI

Summer has come and gone in Mississippi , and the Beta Beta chapter is gearing up for another trendsetting year. But lookin g back, last spring the chapter celebrated its centenn i al. We again thank General Tr easur er Samuel J. McCartney, Jr., Dickinson '41, for his great address We also took part in many other activities. Ole Miss ' Dixie Week gave the entire chapter a noth er chance to party in the way only Be tas can . The annua l Red-Blue game gave the Ole Miss faithful a preview of what to expec t this fall. After that early lopk, the Beta Beta chapter ch a ll enges the chapters at Missouri, Vanderbilt , Tulane and T ennessee to ski n bets. All teams on the Rebel schedule b etter be wary of venturing ·into the confines of Rebel Country. We're out for blood!

Three Firsts

In spring intramural sports , the Betas claimed three champions hip s. We tool< the Blue division swimming fl ag, successfully defended our bowling title, and made mince-meat of the fraternity basketball championships. Not only did we claim the Ole Miss hoop crown, the Beta Beta chapter rolled into Starkville , Miss., and easi l y defeated the Redneck fraternity champs from Mississippi A & M. Beta Beta h as won th e c h ampionship game between the two schools two of the four years of its existence

During the summer the hou se was full a nd a successfu l summer rush program resulted. This is expected to carry over into the formal fall rush. Rush Chairmen Stacey Wall, '81, John Howell , '80 , a nd Eric Chamberlain, ' 81 , a ll deserve a pat on the back We · also thank Dr. Richard Hollis , '75 , for his most generous donation to the chapter

Socially, the Betas again w ill l ead post-football game parties The Little Sister program is doing quite well, and of course , the Betas will have the best "mixers" on campus. We a l ways do.

The c h apter house is in gr e at shap e, the weather is st ill warm, and Beta Be ta is excited about another school year. We invite other chapters and alumni to come visit us anyt im e this fall and se e how Beta Bet a extends th e Beta spirit to the e ntir e campus. (Herbert L.

Beta Theta Pi can once again be proud of Zeta Phi chapter A tradition, established lon g h as been high scholastic achievement. Zeta Pht fimshed second i n the final scholastic rankings of the fall semester of all university fraternities Final scho lastic rankings for the spring semester were not know n at the lime of publication, but Zeta Phi can be counte d on to b e one of th e top finishers.

Hi gh achievemen t in classes does not go unr ewarded Many Zeta Phi undergraduates we r e as members of prestigious organizations at Missouri University Henry Plain , '80, and Scott Harrell , ' 79 , were c ho sen as members in the Mystical S eve n , a university honorary fraternity Don Downing, ' 79, a nd Charles Treasure, '80 , were hon ore d by being chosen into Q EBH, a national honorary fraternity Ric h ard Kam merer, '80, and H a nk Pl ai n were chose n i nto ODK . a university honor ary fr aternity. Paul Oli ve, '80 , and Ch a rl es Treasure were honored by b eing plac e d on th e Mortar Board, a university honorary fraternity.

Professi on a l Ca ndid a t es

Don Downin g and Carrick Bolt e , '79, will co ntinu e their edu ca tion s in law school. Kevin S c h ewe, '79, and Pau l Stockm a nn, '79, will continue th e ir educatio ns in medical sc hool. St e ph e n S a nd e rs, '81 , and Kurt ja ege r , '81, after onl y two yea rs of undergraduate work, were accepted into veterinarian school a t th e university.

Zeta Phi agai n reigned as champions of intramural sports. Man y thanks go to Dougl as Dough ty, '80 , who did a n exce ll e nt job in coac hing his broth ers to a first pla ce fi nish Zeta Phi's spring sports teams again led th e way to a s trong finish . Le d by a group of s t rong pl aye rs , th e soccer tea m took th e championship for t he second straight year. With Ze ta Phi tr ailing , Ri c h a rd Valuck.

The Brothers of Theta De lta re sted easy over the su mmer knowing that they completed another year at the top of th e Gre ek ladd er. Many acco mpli s hm ents were made spring quart er that the Betas worked h ard to ac hieve. With the unusually nic e weather th a t we h ad, it took mor e motiv a tion than norm al "to get things done, howev er , they did ge t don e and with grea-t success Greek W eek honors were awa rd ed to our c h apt.,r in sev e ral events: first place for "most pints donated" in the Blood Driv e; third place com bined in overall Greek W eek eve nts ; first place co mbin ed (with the Pi Phi's) in Greek games; and second place fraternity in Gr eek games. Former President A la n Veatch, '79, also was awar d e d the "Ross -Gai n er Fra -

ternity Man of the Yea r" award at the awards b a nqu et for his outstanding service to the Greek and campus communities.

Other achieveme n Is included taking top hon ors in the Delta Upsilon Basketball Tournam e nt for the second co ns ecutive year, and first place in the Delta T a u Delta S oftba ll Tournam e nt . Also, Brother J. Scott S eipel, '81, managed to take second place standings in t h e Pi Beta Phi T ennis Classic Overall , an outstanding performance was h ad in Gre ek activities during spring quarter.

New Rush Program

A n ew rush program was in stituted her e at Theta Delta this spri n g. Rather than rushing randomly thr oughout the quarter , one week was set aside as a formal rushing week This incl uded a cookout on the front porch, a trip to th e Clipp e rs opening baseball game, a nd also a night on " High Street" to get acqu ainted with potential Betas. This program prov ed very successful as we took nine excellent pledges.

Spring quarter also saw an old tradition return to th e Beta hous e, t hi s being the new Theta Delta bus. After a year w i t h out it , e n oug h funds w ere finally pooled to purchase a used Bluebird sc h oolb u s, complete with a new " Beta Blue " paint job. Our s in cere th a nks go o ut to all Theta Delta a lumni who h ave h elp ed in our cause .

That's about all to report from Ohio State. Theta Delta wou ld li ke to wis h all Betas a fine 1979-80 year. (Jeffrey 0. Strine, '80, Secretary)

"Success is peace of mind which is a dir ec t result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your b est to becom e the best you are capab le of b eco ming. "

Brother John R. Wooden, Purdue '32, former UCLA b asketba ll coac h , describ e d success with this eloquent d e finition. A l though the Betas of Gamma Lambda realize that much effort is needed to full y reach our maximum pote nti a l, success was pr eva lent at 1207 University Avenue during the 1978-79 school year.

Victory in All Sports. As tradition has it in the spr in g, we ac hi eve d another All -Sp orts Championship in one of t h e closest and hard est fought races in years. Diligent a nd p atient work was required to accomplish this feat, and th e s t rong showin g of our golf an d track teams , coac h ed by Steven Kill gore, '81 , and Ke ith Thom as, '79, gave the imp etus to hold off d etermined competi tors. Muc h n eede d experie n ce was added to t h e softball team as the lead ers hip of Coach Larry McAlister, '80 , an All -Greek se lection , guided the team to a co n structive year.

Spring Social Activities. The spring semester of 1979 provided a very bus y itinerary of social eve nts for Gamma Lambda. The Stillwater ch apter has an outstanding record in the Sprin g Sing at OSU , an d 1979 was n o different as Patrick Cast le berry, '79, directed an exce ll e nt performance ono Mom ' s Day. Kenneth Black , '81, will have the responsibility to add improvement to this record in 1980. Alumni Day with Fraterna l "Fifties a lso was an outstanding success as A l umn i Secretaries Ky m Griffith, '80, and Douglas H a ll, '80, co mb in ed the i r efforts to provide a good turnout for the event on Easter weekend. The in itia l part of rush is very important to our chapter duri n g th e spring semester, and w e capitalized on th is tim e with our Spring Rush party coordinated effectively by our Rush Chairm en William Brewer, '81, and V. Randall Compt on, '81 . Special recognition must also go t9 House Manager Randy G. Wilson, '80, as he led a proj ect to clean and r enovat e the house for the p ar ty and also

for the 1979-80 school year The Spring Party in S ulp hur closed out the social schedule The function serves as a last get-together before the summer begins This party was th e culmination of planning and coordination by Social Chairman Eddie Hardwick , '79 , as he performed his job with enthusiasm and innovation

The social whirl began again on June 23, as the statewide rush party was held in Oklahoma City T h e bulk of our rushees made their final decisions during this time A maximum effort was needed to assure quality in the future Ronald Powell, '80, and Gary Houghton , '82, represented our c h apter at the General Convention.

A Loo k Into The Future Although the new and upcoming year is always associated with refreshing optimism , an annual process that takes place at the end of the year is the exit of a senior class The Gamma Lambda class of 1979 is to be comm e nded for its dynamic leadership and contributions to Beta T heta Pi and Oklahoma State University ; however, the torch must be passed along, and the Gamma Lambda Betas of 1979-80 are ready and willing to meet the c h allenges ahead, under the leadership of President Ron Powell , who heads a cast of intellig e nt , dedicated officers. This fall will be very busy and enjoyable with t he proper conduction of the pledge program, socia l activities , the driv e toward another All-Sports championship , the Alumni Sleep-in on Oclober 13, etc. In order for progress to flourish , goals must not become stagnant and unchallenging As stated before, we fee l we have not arrived at the proper relationship wit h o u r potential. On th e ot h er hand, every thrivi n g, successful group will experience its minor d ifficulties , a nd we fee l our success and productivity can b e regarded in the same nature Those problems will b e met this 1979-80 school year, and our strengths w ill b e improve d as we ll T h e future is b r igh t in S ti ll water!

Sp ri ng semester marked a hard working period for the broth er s of Beta Zet a wit h the preparations for the centenmal along wit h our r egu lar activities Because of ad mini stra tive policy, Pl e dge Saturday for the sprmg rus h ees was d el aye d till the first week in April. In spite of th e d e la y, the Beta house had a quality· filled pl e dg e class of 14 new m e mb ers including three from th e fall. Muc h of this success was due to the d ete rmin atio n of Rush Chairman Timothy Barnes , '79.

once again the Beta house excelled in campus activi1es. The Interfraternity Council Cup for intramural ports was won by consistent play in all leagues. The :nal blow came spring semester with the outstanding •itching of Michael Niezabytoski, '79, in fast pitch oftball. In varsity sports the members of Beta Zeta parked the football, wrestling, hockey , baseball and acrosse teams. Brother Thomas Kirkpatrick, '81, held 1p the cultural end with a fine performance in the Jlay, The Seagull. The brothers also have made a ioint to continue to incorjJOrate Beta activiti e s with he campus-community life.

The new and old officers have been working hard :o prepare for the centennial th is fall. The festivities .vill be held duri n g Homecoming Weekend on the iates of Oct. 19, 20 and 21. T he physical appearance of the house has been a major concern for the centennial. Some of the main additions are a new living ; room, shrubbery surrounding the house and renovation of the back bar room. The activities will include 3 banquet, a dance, sporting events and a display of Beta Zeta history Along with other alumni, Seth R Brooks, '22, will be on hand for the weekend activities. This year marks an important time for Beta Zeta , and the brothers are ready to make it one that will be remembered for years to come

STANFORD

The Lambda S igma chapter of Beta Theta Pi again kicked off spring rush with a very successful party. The Beta "Nooner" as it is called, is held annuall y on the first Friday of spring quarter. It has never rain e d on the day of this glorious event [although it has threatened] and l ast year was no exception. As the morning clouds burned off, multitudes of Stanford party-goers flocked to our front la1(Vn to bask in the · sun and enjoy some live music.

We are pleased to report that we had a very successful rush this past spring as 21 pledges will be coming into the house this fal l. As in the past, they seem like a very diverse group which will add to the unique character of Stanford Beta s.

Beta Alums Return t o t h e Farm. A lot of time during the spring quarter is spent in non-academic activities as the school year winds down to a close, and weary students show signs of restlessness. Thus, we thought it was only fair to invite the a lumni over to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and share in the good times Bailey [Biff] Barnard , '67, Franklin (Pitch] Johnson, ' 50 , and Ronald Kovas , ' 64, among many others , joined us for a delicious dinner and a very enjoyable ge t-together Our first a l umn i dinner party was a success and showed promise for similar even ts in the future.

Pledge Scott Gill attended the 140th Ge neral Convention. His dedication to the house over the last year has been unsurpassed We hope that things continue to look up We wish the best of luck to our newlyelected officers - Pledge Douglas Ballinger, presid e nt ; Pledge Richard Tidball, vice president ; a nd Pl e dg e Henry Hartman, treasurer.

Everyone here at Sigma chapter is anxiously awaiting the upcoming centennial weekend. It will b e h eld on Oct. 26, 27, a nd 28 Many alumni also seem to b e excited about the centennial, as many of them hav e « The Bate

shown interest in attending. All Betas are invited, so make yourself welcome

In sports, the Betas won the softball championship convincingly with a 13-2 win. The team scored at least 10 runs every game. We finished second in bomb ardm e nt, losing only one match a ll season . The Betas are currently in first place in all -sports points, and have an excellent chance of bringing home the All-Sports trophy.

Treasurer Steve n Hu ettner, '80, is doing a good job balancing the budge t a nd inaking sure we will have enough mon ey left to be a bl e to eat during December We are hoping to get a new furnace, as the antique we h ave now may not make it through the winter .

All the sophomores are eager to rush the freshmen this year, as we have a big senior class , and a big pledge class is ne eded to fill their shoes.

The parties at the Beta house continue to draw the bigge st turnout on campus with such attractions as th e famous Beta Brew, Beta Dip , a nd always out of control, Frazz. [Anthony D. Condos, '80, Correspondin g Secretary)

TEXAS

This fall issue of The Beta Theta Pi marks the first time in too many is sues that Beta Omicron has had a report published. For this, we as act iv es would like to a pologi ze both to our alumni and to the General Fraternity. From this issue on, we inte nd to hav e many reports informing all about the exciting things going on in our chapter.

Th e Betas at T exas are looking forward to an excellent semester. As this report is b ei ng written, plans are b ei ng made for one of th e biggest summer rush programs in recent history. And by the time this is published we should h ave a fine pledge class The enthusiasm of recent initi ates is an int egra l part in our plans for an excellent fa ll pledge class. Again, our emphasis is on quality , not quanti\Y·

House Renovation

Th e chapt er house underwent much improv eme nt this past spring thanks to financial help from our alumni association, the T exas Beta Stud e nt Aid Fund, which owns the house. House Manager Bill Yeary , '80, was able to use the money from TBSAF to have the hous e sandblasted, and the active chapt er contribut ed its physical help in sa nding and painting th e exterior finish. Improvem ents were made insid e, too, by the actives. The basement is sporting a new coat of paint which h e lped immens el y. The Mothers Club deserves our thanks, too, for refurbishing the pool table a nd putting the piano in proper order. All the improvements go to making the hous e a place in which we can all hav e prid e. An open invitation is exte nded to all Betas to stop by and take a look.

All of the actives are looking forward to four matches with some of the top sororities on campus. Also part of our fall social scene will be the traditional Virgin Islands party, always a highlight of the semester. Th e Betas at UT are known for good times and great parties , a fact that always helps in rushing.

Congratulations are in order for six of our brothers who graduated with the class of 1979 - Joe Edwards , Christoph er Frederickson , Kevin McCalla , Russell Ric e, Timothy T y n er a nd James Wolff. W e' ll miss all of th e m , but wish them well in their endeavors.

We ' re lookin g forward to a good year at th e university. And we wish all our fellow chapters the best of lu ck in achieving th e ir goa ls during th e coming school year. " Hook ' em Horns! " (G. Cory Warren, '80, Secretary)

In April , the Virginia Tech c h a pter initi ate d Thom as Cullen Adams into Be ta Theta Pi and we are all proud to call him brother

What would spring be without th e annual Awards Banquet? Last year's fe te at the Red Lion Inn was a smashing succ e ss. John McMonigl e, '79, earned a landslide win in the 'competition for the li ghtw ei ght award despite strong performanc es by Kev in Elw e ll , '80, and Jam es Steckbeck, ' 79 , throughout the year Louis Haley , '79 , was the r e cipient of Warren William Hall award for service to chapter and alm a m a t er.

Outstanding Senior awa rd went to Gr eg Adams for his unmatched l eade rship in the chapter. And finally, johnny Branson, '82, r e ceiv e d the Lindber gh Award for bei ng the initiate of the year who most exemp li fies the spirit of the frat e rnity . Daniel Ludeman , ' 79 , must be congratulated for coordinating this fine affair .

A mid-aft ernoon thunderstorm at th e New Riv er Junction Park washed out th e picnic , but couldn't dampen any spirits at the annual Par e n ts' Weekend. The pig parts S cot t Re ddan , '80 , was roasting were salvage d a fter the ra in , cooked at local apartments, and served at the hous e in th e evening.

Individually , Greg Adams and Johnny Branson won the IFC golf doubles titl es after defeating Gregory Moot, '79, and Louis Haley in the fi n als.

The chapter wou ld lik e to congratulate all of the 1979 ,graduates: Jonathan Williamson, headed to graduate schoo l at Vanderbilt; Jeffrey Pa lm er, accepte d to ve t school; Philip Sm all working in Ro a noke as an account a n t; Jim Steckbeck, San Di ego bound , working for Genera l Dynamics ; Lou Haley , starting with the FBI in Washington; Greg Moot has a job as a buyer with Hecht's in Washington , D.C. ; James Chapman is attending law school at Washington and Lee; John McMonig le , awaiting word from the P eace Corps; M ic h ae l James is working for the Kroger Co. ; Roger Dav ey moves to Hartford , Conn. to work for P ratt & Whitney; and Dave Fields , William Parker, Greg Adams and Danny Ludeman are awaiting word on their jobs.

The Social Events

Th e Daffodil Dance , as always, was the highlight of t h e semester, coming in just ahead of t h e third annual Beta Lawn P ar ty - b oth events providing exce ll ent e nt erta inm e nt for all those attendi n g. Another hi ghli ght was Senior Bar and Swan Songs where we were a ll honored to h ave among us W e ldon B.

He and 13 seniors shared with the brothers memories, fe e lings and good old tim es at the Gamma Theta ch apter house before heading off to whatever ro le they wou ld play in the future

The chapter co n tinued to play a pa rt in ath le tics on campus last year. William M.

E Dicke y Finn e y, '80 , was elected pre sid ent; Robert Frantz, '81 , is sec o nd in command as so c ial chairman; St even Smith, '80 , brings his e x peri enc e as food manager to th e position of treasurer ; j .

Good Financial Position

Brother Frantz already has compiled an elaborate rush schedule for fall 1979 All outstanding bills were paid during the summer, enabling us to have a strong financial position from which to finance the wide array of social events for rush Included in the activities are two bands and a pig roast. Unlike in past years, we will begin a week early, allowing the brothers to be together during the pre-rush activities of preparing the house and meeting the freshmen. In addition, we are spending $4,000 to paint the exterior of the house. We look very enthusiastically towards a strong 1979 rush .

The Beta intramural team has come on strong after a slow start last fall Frederick j Forsyth, ' 81, won the outstanding swimmer award as he single handily brought us a 4th team place in the intramural swim meet. Also worth mentioning is the " Celebrity Bowling " team whose " smashing" performers were john [Etch) McDonald, '79 , Fred Forsyth and Woody Woodring. [Albin B. Hammond ill, '80, Secretary)

1978-79 was a v e ry productive and promising year I at W e b e r State. Wh e n I wrote to you last qu.arter, w e re hoping for two intramura l sports trophtes. we e nded up with six! Every member of th.e D Omi c ron chapt e r contributed to these trophtes, one brother in parti c ular contributed a great dea l tim e and effort to get us to compete in the vari sports That being our sports director for the 1971 y ear, jam e s E. Marquardt , '79. .

Also last year w e wanted to get together wtth a lumn i' to discuss our financial situation and futur e W e are now meeting the first Wednesday each and are planning, among other thing s very large rush party for the 1979-80 year.

We enjoyed many exchanges with the sororitiea campus through the year, but none equaled the spring semester, (it must be the time of year). stayed in touch with the sororities this past sumn to plan more exchanges, and in August we went our annual trip to Bear Lake with our sister sororl

It looks like the 1979-80 year will be even bet than 1978-79. -

Our first full year at 113 W Dutton p! vided the unity n eeded to overcome the various ha t ships, pitfalls, and problems a chapter experiences a new house Expectations surface with the pass u of e ach new day and an aware n ess dir ected toward som1d chapter house.

Th e annual Beta Raffle with a trip for two to t Playboy Club in Chicago again was a success. T brothers worked hard due to the limited time involv with this production. Special thanks go to o brothers at Iowa State. They hosted the leadersh workshop in February a nd helped by putting on super party at the end of the workshop where mru tickets were sold

Th e strength of leadership continued as Kevin 01 ham , ' 80, and james Thomas, '81 , president and vi president, carried o n where Bradley Schmidt , '79, le off. Brad was honored as the first recipient of tl Barry j Le hst en Award. His unselfish atti tude ru strong, quiet determination helped mold this chapt into what it is today. He was instrumental in Del Chi becoming the 109th cha pter on the rolls of Be Theta Pi. Not only will he be missed, but his masc line voice as well!

Greek Week Champions. In true Beta fashion, Del Chi led from start to finish in the Monday Friday events to take the over-all Greek Week Chan pionship. Spirit unleashed itself in various forms • yelling and fish expeditions. True brotherhood helpt carry us over the top as every brother played a vit role in attaining the championship trophy. Jim Thorn< led off the week by capturing the pool shooting w it a very keen eye. Donn Fresard, '81, followed wit sharpened fins and played the role of a fl.ounderin fish and placed second in the beer chugging. Othr key individuals included the large, ambidextrous ill of Thomas Boehm , '81, as he led the ice cream eatin team to a first and second place in Thursdays con petition. Rain on Friday didn ' t seem to dampen o;, spirit as Steven Peck , '81 , sped to victory in the 101 yard dash This was only the beginning as w captured the three-man carry, and finished second i

Th e large championship trophy is a welcome addi lion and one that represents Betas everywhere for the distinguished honor of allowing us the opportunity to become assoc iated as a chapter of Beta Theta Pi! (Donald Rogers, '80, Rush Chairman)

WESTERN ONTARIO

At the close of the 1978-79 academic year, the brothers of Beta Th eta Pi looked back on what has been nothing short of a terrific year.

For the first time in recent memory, the chapter reached 57 strong, thanks to the efforts of Rush Chairmen Vincent A. S carfo ne, ' 80, and Edvins A. Petrovskis, '81. Twenty-five new Betas were initiated last year; 15 in the fall, and 10 in the spring, capably led through the pledge program by Michael J. Anders, '80, and Richard E. Mignault, '79, respectively.

Large and Enthusiastic

These strong, young, and enthusiastic Betas seem to ensure Delta Alpha's continued growth and strength. The keen interest shown by all in the recent elections for chapter officers is only one illustration of this.

During the past year, Betas on the Western Campus continued to excel both academically and through their involvement with university activities The list of individuals from the Delta Alpha chapter serving the university in various offices, committees, and varsity teams, to name a few, is far too lengthy to enumerate here.

After the traditional welcome of Western's fresh during Orientation Week, and the ensuing Greek Week

activities, rush was well on its way. A very successful Homecoming W eeke nd welcomed numerous alumni back at _ the chapter house for our Bloody Mary Breakfast , Post-gam e Party , and Dorg.

The Christmas Party went off with a bang as usual , as the pop of a champagne cork started the celebrations. Many alumni brothers joined the actives in heralding in Santa Claus and his e lf for the "Garter" presentations.

The Beta Dragons hockey team remained the champions of the Interfraternity Leag ue at W este rn , defeating Sigma Chi after a tough 3-game series .

The brothers again competed in the annual I.F.C. Dance-a-than, in aid of Multiple Sclerosis. It is worthy of note that Beta has remain e d undefeated in raisin g the greatest amount of money for this worthy cause, capturing the Carl Park trophy [in honor of Brother Carl Park , '713).

Beta Gift to W.O.

The president of The University of Western Ontario, Dr. George Connell, joined the active and many alumni brothers for cocktails and dinner at the chapter house. On that occasion, Brother Jack M Geddes, '54, District Chief, presented Dr. Connell with a check for $500 for the university from the General Fraternity. This money was presented to the university in honor of Delta Alpha's 25th Anniversary on the Western Campus. The money has been spent in providing for a major microfilm collection of business and economics for the main library

The annual Beta Ball was held on Saturday , March 17. Although the turnout was a bit smaller than the last year's 25th Anniversary Fest, the Beta spirit overflowed t h e ballroom. We were pleased to honor our own Brother Geddes on th e occasion, in only a small way r ecog nizing his va st contributions to both the chapter and the fraternity. Brother Geddes has served as the Western Ontario chapter adviser for 10 years, a n d as District Chi e f for the past three.

Also on the occasion, a very special award was presented to one of the W estern Ontar io brothers. Th e McLary-Moore trophy , a rarely pr ese nt e d honor , is awarded to a brother who is d eemed to be an outstanding individual, recogniz ed for his service and contributions to both the chapter and the fraternity. It was a pleasure to prese nt th e award to Ri chard E. Mignault.

It is worthy of note that this past year was a busy time at Western in overseetng affatrs at the Brock Colony in St. Catherines. Special thanks m.ust be extended to Ian C. Haley, '79, J• 80 , and David Clutchey, '80 , for their parttctpatton tn the Brock effort.

New Alumni Officers

During the year, a resurgence of interest in our a lumni association brought the chapter much-needed su p port and experience. We are pleased to th e following brothers in their new alumm capactltes: Edward ). P. Milani, ' 74, president ; Carl Park, ' 73, secretary; Robert Chalk, '72 treasurer ; Duncan A. McLar t y, ' 34, faculty adviser ; and Steven G McManus , '77, financial adviser.

O nce again, the brothers would like to e xtend thetr t ha n ks to District Chief Geddes and to Chapter Counselor Terrence P. Folbrecht, G M I. ' 75.

As a l ways, it was wi t h great regret that Delta A l pha saw many of its active members graduate, however, th e brot h e rs look forward to having them , and all a l u mni brot h ers, down as often as possible.

Ch apter President Vincent Scarfone and fellow officers see m to be headed for what wi ll be Delta Alpha's b est year yet.

WICHITA STATE

The conclusion of the spring semester at Wi chit a State University showed that the m en of De ta Gamma had enjoyed another very succ essfu l year. Brotherhood and academic ac hi evement were the ma jo r goals of the semester, goals that shall alwpys be pursued.

The Beta Theta Pi I Fall 1979

The brothers feel that they accom plished these objectives as well as other goals.

We , as a chapter, had d edica t ed the year to Dr. Worth A. Fletcher, ,' 25, (numb er 1 on our rolls] "Doc" as h e was known to the hou se and many friends was a leader on campus as well as to our ch ap t e r. By dedicating over 40 years of service to Be t a, we feel that we owe it to him to ensue the goals and standards which he tried to ge t accomplis h ed within our chapter. We looked to him for guidance and counse ling for affairs of the chapter and to personal probl e m s. His largest objective was the pursuance of high sc h olastic stan d ards. S o for this outstanding individual the Delta Gamma chapter is in the process of upgrading i ts scholastic performance b y each and every member By this we were able to accept the scholarship cup that is offered by the university for the fraternity with the highest over-all G P.A. In the future we plan to keep the memories and standards of Doc's int act, and to pursu e to rais e the academic achievements to th e h ighes t possible lev els .

Hippodrome Awards

Our participation in the annua l Hippodrome celebrat ion was outstanding. With help from the women of Delta Delta Delta , our showing was very impr essive. William Gardner, '79, was presented with th e outstanding actor award We a lso received several other awards. As always Spring Formal - The Playboy Party , was exceptionally entertaining. Brother Timothy Watt , '80, was responsible for the outstanding parti e s The close of the semester a ls o show e d that the Delta Gamma ch apter was as strong on the intramura l field as it was in the classroom. With the effo rts of all of the brothers , we were able to capture all six championship trophies. In th e pursuit of the championships, the men of Delta Gamma only lost one intramural game. We were ab le to acco mpli sh this fe at by th e leadership of Daniel Sch ee r , '79, Michael Meitzner , '80 , Alan Harbut z, '80 , and Randall Vickers, '80.

championship , w h ich is a record that will keep o n growing and will be hard to eliminate from the books. One of the highlights of the basketball season was the chance to play the Alpha u chapter of Beta Theta Pi. We came out of the game the loser, but we feel t h at we won the friendship of many brothers.

The most important item that faces our chapter is rush Under the guidance and p lanning of Jeffery P. Ziegler, '80, we anticipate a very good rush program and the signing of a large pledge class. He h as pl anned many rush parties including a golf tournament a nd ski party. We feel that with the support of t h e al umni a n d active chapter, Jeff will provide us wit h a fi n e pledge class.

WISCONSIN

From t h e sunny shores of Lake Mendota comes n ews of success and prosperi t y found by the boys of Al pha Pi. The Madison campus has come to know what the Betas here have k n own for quite some time, t h at t hey arc superior to all o th er Greek organizations in n early every imaginab le aspec t. Proof posi tive of t hi s s t atement comes in the form of the Badger Bowl, which the Betas won again t h is past spring It is th e sign of a lla r ound ath letic supremacy in interfraternity competition. The boys of A l ph a Pi h ave now captured t h is reward four times in t h e last five years!

Acknow ledgments such as this h ave all owed us to rush very successfu ll y. Seventeen fi n e young me n were added to our rolls during the past academic yea r . S ixteen men w ill be leaving also, as t h ey r eceive d d egrees this past spring and summer , so the new actives are bei n g called upon for immed iate contribu tions in many areas. A good sign of an even stronger sense of brot h erhood forming in t h e chapter is that ma n y Betas resided i n the house this past summer, while either attending summer school or working at a full-ti m e jo b. Th us, we cou ld grow as a unit to even greater extremes Every Beta here knows that there is something to be found a t the Wisco n sin campus that is ordinarily found nowhere else. Here , the Beta house looms as t he infamous "home of the seven-day weekend!" As a l ways, enjoying life to its fullest.

Which brings me to the littl e picture - taken in the fall of 1917 a t Parris Island, So. C., which shows eight Beta Marines in various companies. I think I reca ll only three - in the back row is Harry S. Shepard , '21 (on le ft] a nd myself and Walter W. Lathrop, '25 on the right. Each one of them was shipped to various a nd separate int eres ting spots for the duration. Sorry we didn ' t get a shot of Gordon Smyth who joined us a bit lat er.

EDITOR ' S NOTE: Our deep thanks to Broth er Melc h er. Sin ce the g roup photo is of Betas who are n early all d ecease d a nd who would b e known to a very limit ed portion of our 75,000 circulation, we won't attempt to reproduce it. We are printing the one of the eig ht Marines, though time has dimmed its sharpness.

We would like to suggest to Brother Melcher and to any other Beta who may have a photo or photos or other memorabilia of interest to Beta Theta Pi to send them to your own chapter if it is known that such archives are b ei ng safely kept; otherwise, we suggest your sending them to Brother H. H. St ep h e nson, Archivist, Beta Thet a Pi, 208 E. High St., Oxford, OH 45056 for the General Fr aternity permanen t historical room.

Brother Jim (Martin]:
