The Beta Theta Pi - Fall 1985

Endeavor, Expectancy & Hope

My Antonia by Willa Cather is a superb novel. It is about early settlers in Nebraska who came from the Eastern Seaboard There were Bohemians, Swedes, Norwegians and Russians.

The story is told in retrospect by a lawyer in New York as he remembers his childhood and youth in Nebraska , where he was brought up by an uncle and aunt.

The relator of the story went to the University of Nebraska when it was a young institution . He recalls the happy years he spent there and says , " There was an atmosphere of endeavor , of expectancy and bright hopefulness about the young college that had lifted its head from the prairies only a few years before "

In the founding of fraternities, there was endeavor It was to bring together a group of friends for brotherhood with mutual aid and assistance. The endeavor did not remain local. It soon began to spread to group after group on campus after campus. In this manner fraternities became nationwide in their scope.

Chapters developed the endeavor to own their own houses They endeavored to continue their existence through annually adding new members.

As growth continued , there followed the endeavor to build a central headquarters, to publish a magazine, to hold conventions.

Chapters found the endeavor to excel, to uphold the name and honor of their association All was not always bright Dark periods came but there continued the endeavor to uphold the good and true in academic life and in the life of the fraternity

Chapters can find their record in what their endeavor has been and is. The endeavor of educated , privileged men should reach beyond college days and

fraternity houses. It should be seen in the kind of leadership and service so badly needed in society and humanity. The founders of fraternities held great expectancy It was thought ideals inspire and direct men It was thought group effort would produce greater action and duty Expectancy that, in the future, the brotherhood would continue was early envisioned Expectancy had to do with men of dignity, refinement and culture .

There is in a general fraternity the expectancy that chapters will bring honor , not disgrace The expectancy touches individual members. They should be enriched by membership and bring value to the name they bear.

The expectant chapter is alive Expectant alumni send a message to their chapter.

The expectant chapter looks up and forward. It reaches out to help others. it believes in itself and in improvement. It has price and seeks to win honor in college life. From such experience men should go into the world with expectancy about their ability to meet the endless human problems we all face.

A chapter should be a training ground for vision , dedication and service . This may sound like twaddle . The fact is many men carry the impetus of some chapter that pointed them to an expectancy of a useful existence.

Bright hopefulness was in the hearts of the founders of fraternities . Over the years, bright hopefulness has carried fraternities onward.

Chapters should cultivate bright hopefulness. For chapters can grow through it and overcome mistakes , conquer a poor reputation and turn to honorable pursuits .

Ours is a perplexing world . " So many

voices and none without its signific es." The wonder is fraternities exist the changes of society and the ing changes in higher education theless, an amazing thing can take on a visit to a chapter house, reading ternity publications or attending a ternity convention. For in all these es one can find bright hopefulness. death knell is heard. Instead, one fi confidence, elan and spirit.

Fraternities have many assets and the least of these are endeavor, tancy and bright hopefulness

Down-and-Out Chapter At Florida State Goes Front 0 to 32 Mentbers & Pledges in 1 Sentester

by Millard M. Roberts, Florida 52 Chapter Counselor

Editor's Note: For those actives or alumni who say "it's hopeless," this is MUST reading. Here was a chapter that was almost universally considered "dead, buried and without hope" as late as January 1 of this year. It's an inspirational story that shows what can be done when a Beta or few pitch in and start the ball rolling.

What happened to the Beta Theta Pi chapter at Florida State University during 10 weeks of the spring semester, Feb. 2-April 13, 1985, seems to have set records in the fraternity world . It is the result of commitment and is a further manifestation of the " 'New Era' of aggressive action to ensure a brighter future for Beta Theta Pi."

(The Beta Theta Pi, Winter 1984). Charter Suspended

The Delta Lambda chapter was founded at Florida State in 1969, but by 1984, the dwindling membership had fallen to zero In February 1984, the Board of Trustees of the General Fraternity suspended the charter, and the house was closed and put up for sale. Uncoordinated national and local attempts had been made from time to time to revive a floundering chapter, but real commitment had not been made. Efforts had lacked leadership , organization , planning and funding .

As late as July 1984, the General Fraternity had sent representatives, includ-

ing District Chief Michael Bloom, Georgia Tech '68, to Tallahassee and the FSU campus to have another go at it. In a half-day Saturday meeting with a few local and area alumni, requirements set by the Board of Trustees were delivered These stipulations were to be implemented by the fall as a means of demonstrating a viable chapter. The deadline seemed impossible to meet.

Alumni at the meeting requested the General Fraternity to demonstrate its leadership role and overall commitment by providing training workshops for those alumni willing to accept responsibility and get involved. No promises were made and no obvious activity occurred for months. Then, in January 1985, a series of isolated events, some already occurring, began to tie together

Social Group Formed

A group of about 20 young men at Florida State, whose paths frequently crossed, came together and talked about what they wanted but were not getting out of college life. Most of them lived in one dormitory; they interacted socially to some extent; they competed in some intramural team sports together Some of them had pledged fraternities and were dissatisfied. Others in the group approached two or three fraternities and offered themselves as a pledge group, feeling that as a core they would be able

to have more impact in setting and ol taining goals that they were formulatin 1 Several of the students talked with un versity administration officials seekin ways to found a new fraternity were advised to try to attain their goal in already-established chapters About the same time, Administrativ Assistant Douglas G. Stewart, Virgini Tech ' 83, and a member of the "SWA' team " (Special Wooglin Assistanc Team) initiated efforts to recolonize th chapter at Florida State . He contacte1 the officials in the FSU Housing Deparl ment and scanned lists of student! many of whom were transfers; all wer sophomores and juniors. He placed a d vertisements in the student newspape and referred respondents to Oxford Ohio

Over 100 Scrutinized

In the process of searching , Doug ant the already -functioning group of youn1 men " wanting something better" foun< each other. He was impressed individu ally and collectively with the group seek ing a way to pick up a yet-to-be definec challenge Altogether, Doug evaluatec more than 100 students, including thosE living outside the dormitories. He inter viewed individually each young mar who was eventually selected to wear the Beta badge.

Letters were sent to area alumni and meeting was arranged with Mike Bloom for Saturday, Feb . 2. It was realized tha day that the General Fraternity , support ing Doug as its full-time representative and Mike as its District XIX Chief, had made and fulfilled commitments far be yond what was originally requested and imagined possible. The General Frater· nity had taken the initiative and fol· lowed through.

I accepted the request to be the chap ter advisor and suggested a co-advisor to share the responsibility . Bruce Bechard Florida ' 58 , enthusiastically volunteered That same day the alumni group met the 32 young men who formally pledged and received their badges the next day

Twenty-five new Florida State Betas were initiated by the Auburn chapter this spring , se en h er e outside the n e w Auburn chapt er house

During the week before the pledge cernony, Doug had contacted the Gamma i Florida Betas who accepted responsillity for training the new pledge class or the next 10 weeks they were present : _ every pledge meeting, only one of h was in Gainesville, some 150 dies away Brothers Charles Spelman, lorida '85, and Mark Reeder, Florida 16 , made every meeting. They and their ther brothers demonstrated continuing hip and responsibility, concern , nd mutual assistance throughout the aining period. The new pledges acceptd the challenge and assumed leadership

Within days the FSU campus bearne aware that there was a new kid on 1e block. The representatives of Beta 'heta Pi won trophies in athletics and orority-sponsored events. They even ad one rush party while still a pledge lass.

New House Leased

In the meantime, the old, physicallynadequate Beta fraternity house was ;old. Efforts were made to lease a large, mposing sorority house accommodating 12 residents which had just become tvailable. Negotiations were successful, md Ivan Johnson, Georgia Tech '67 , as;umed responsibility for arranging for he group to occupy the house May 1 as Jrothers

On April 13, with District Chief Mike 3loom coordinating the activities of the , 25 of the 32 pledges were initiAuburn, Ala. , with the Auburn, and Georgia Tech brothers par:icipating in the ceremony. Two Emory Jledges also were initiated. The remain,ng pledges of the Delta Lambda colony were to be initiated at the General Conin August.

The Expansion Picture

Beta's 11 Colonies Include Several Locals Sought by Other Top Fraternities

Beta expansion activity is moving at a record pace As of June, the fraternity's books showed four full colonies and a surprising seven provisional colonies, with that total of 11 believed to be the most ever at one time in the annals of Beta Theta Pi.

A

·"provisional" colony is one which has been approved by the Board of Trustees and given permission and support to organize and operate until it is given approval as a full Beta colony by the delegates at the next Beta General Convention. To petition for a charter, a group must have been organized and operating for at least one year on a full colony status.

Since this Fall Issue goes to press before Convention-time, it is not unlikely that one or more of the four on " full colony status" may have been voted a charter as a chapter of Beta Theta Pi by the time this is read

High Calibre Groups

" While the number of colonies is a bit unusual , let me assure all Betas that before the Board gave its approval , each was thoroughly examined not only from a standpoint of calibre of group and academic standing of the college or university , but also from potential support of alumni and nearby chapter or chapters," General Secretary B. Hume Morris has stated . "I am also most pleased to report that all but one of the colonies has an academic average of 2.8 or better!"

When and if two of the new provisional colonies become chapters of Beta Theta Pi, they will represent #34 and #35 , respectively, of Beta chapters to be the first fraternity on their campus. One is the colony which was formed last fall at

the University of Guelph, a highly-respected Canadian institution. It now has more than 30 initiates and pledges and a 3.16 grade average A second is at Lynchburg College in Virginia, a private school with approximately 3,500 enrollment which has one of the highest academic ratings in the South Here 11 of the top campus activity leaders decided to form a social group and then sought affiliation with Beta Theta Pi.

Large, Established Locals

Several of the other new provisional colonies were established from local fraternities on their campuses. Foremost among these is the former " Aggie Cowboys" at Texas A & M, a respected 4year-old , 80-member "local" which has been sought by several of the bestknown names in the fraternity world . When Beta indicated interest , the answer was " yes ." Experienced guidance as colony advisor is being given by faculty member Dr. Paul Van Riper , DePauw '38, former District Chief and General Secretary.

In a similar vein is Beta's newest-the colony at California State College at Chico. While many readers may never have heard the name , it was established in 1887 and is one of the campuses of the California state college system whose academi c requirements are all the same. This one is located in the Sierra foothills. The colon y was a local fraternity of more than 50 members which decided the time had come to "go national " and sent inquiries to a select list of what it considered top nationals not yet on the campus. Again , when Beta indicated interest , there was a quick affirmative response.

Another local fraternity which entertained solicitations from a number of fraternities and chose Beta this fall was Tennessee Tech. This colon y has approximately 20 members.

Formed by Be ta la st fall were colonies Colorado State University and the University of Missouri at Kansas City. At Colorado State , we are there at the invitation of the Universit y administration whi c h decided to open its doors to th e fraternity s y stem and selected Beta Theta Pi as its first choice to establish the first colon y. Begun last fall, the colon y now has 18 active members. At Kansa s City , th e Uni versit y' s pre-med sc hool, the colon y was formed b y " Tad " Duk e, son of District Chief Harold W Duk e, Jr. , Wash i n g ton (St. Louis) ' 59 , an d has appro x imatel y 28 members.

Nordstron1's Fast-Growing, Uniquely Service-Oriented Fashion Specialty Stores Are Now Nation's Largest

by John R. (Jack) McClung, Kansas State ' 37 Editor

When 29-year-old Swedish immigrant John W. Nordstrom returned to Seattle in 1900 after seeking his fortune in Alaska during the Gold Rush, he got married and plunked his entire Klondike "strike"-some $13,000-into opening a downtown shoe store. Little did he dream that before he died, it would become the biggest shoe store in the world-or that he would sire a progeny of University of Washington Beta sons and grandsons that would make the name Nordstrom known as the largest fashion specialty store in the nation.

Even though it has achieved that pinnacle, Nordstrom could still be in the comparative infancy of its making an impact on the retail store scene . Currently, there are 49 stores in Washington, Oregon , Alaska, Utah, Montana and California-34 large Nordstrom fashion specialty stores; nine Place II's, smaller stores for young people; one shoe store;

five Racks, clearance facilities; and ten leased shoe departments in Hawaiian department stores . However, the move of Nordstrom into the really big market-California-did not begin until opening of a store in Orange County in 1978. By the end of 1984, there were ten. This year will see five more large Nordstrom fashion stores open in Northern and Southern California and sales for the company are, for the first time, expected to topple the $1 billion mark. Its net earnings, now over $40 million annually , have been steadily increasing since 1975.

Betas moved into the picture in the '20's and '30's when John's three sons began moving into the business following graduation from the University of Washington. All were Beta Omegas at the University of Washington-Everett J., '23; Elmer W. , ' 26; and Lloyd W., '32. The then-two shoe stores began to grow, with the main Seattle location becoming

the country's largest. Other stores to spring up in the Northwest and pand into other lines. Meanwhile, sl departments were being established various department and specialty stort

Beta Dominated Executive Staff

Today, it's a new generation Nordstrom's in charge, and they E University of Washington Betas: Brti A., '55, and John N., '58, are co-cha men of the Board James F., '61, is pre dent, John A. McMillan (husband Lloyd's daughter Loyal) is executive vi president, and Robert E. Bender, '58, senior vice president. Bruce is son and John and Jim are Elmer's. One of the Nordstrom vice preside!' is Barden Erickson, Washington '5 who established a reputation as a ing Seattle architect and then was into joining his fraternity brothers Nordstrom in 1976. He serves as tor of store planning. Among Washington Betas in management rolt with Nordstrom are Duane Covey, Jeff Moseley, '81, Steve Nelson, • Hans Woldseth, '75, and Rob Rask, '84. There's even a fourth generation 1 Nordstrom's on the horizon. Bruce sons are all Beta Omega's-Blake '82; Peter E., '84 and Eric B '85. son , James A., defied tradition enough 1 go elsewhere, but he's a Beta, too· u.s.c. '84

It's the current management group 1 executives, along with an ever-loyal wit ening staff, that has competitors no, giving the company the wary eye. Nordstrom first began moving into fornia to compete with such .,,,, .. u, , , , institutions as Macy's, Bullock's, I.

Now, articles in the Wall Journal, Los Angeles Times and respected publications have indited that it may be the other way Jund.

Strong "Service" Appeal

t's not advertising that ' s Nordstrom's suit. The company generally spends s on promotion than others As any •rdstrom employee will tell you , priuily where it excels are in two of the 's" : stock and service. If anything in 3 wide selection appeals to you , chancare mighty good your size will be in Take shoes , for example Most t. rrllcttr,nrn stores will have 3,000 differ-

ent styles in sizes from a lady's 3 to 13, man's 6 to 15 and widths from AAAAA to EEEEE. As for service, other stores talk about it but Nordstrom has built its reputation on making the customer the king-or queen . This is encouraged by commissions to sales personnel plus numerous contests and bonuses.

With the company still moving into the most fiercely competitive marketing territory outside New York City , the jury is still out. But the way things are now looking, Beta Nordstrom management has fashioned a gold mine far in ex cess of anything Grandfather John ever dreamed about in his fortune-hunting days

•o more 15, 000 square foot openings in California include one in the Sou th Ba y Galleria at Beach in Southern California this past spring (top) and at San Jose 's Oakridge Mall in California, which opens later this fall Others are at Horton Plaza in San Diego and Cor te in Marin County.

Promising Current Players

There are a number of Betas currently involved with the pro game , in addition to Keith Fahnhorst and Don Coryell Quarterback Jeff Kemp, Dartmouth '81, was the Rams starter during much of

1984 and threw for 2,021 yards. A teammate of Jeff's was linebacker Mark Jerue, Washington '82, Kicker Joe Cooper, California-Berkeley '82 , joined the Houston Oilers midway through the 1984 season and was perfect on his field goal and extra point attempts.

College Football Referee

His RCA duties , those with Penn State (more than 200 miles from his home in Cherr y Hill , N.J.) and many earlier years as a football official necessitated a lot of travel. There was a three -year RCA assignment in New York City, with a commute which required his leaving hom e by 6 a.m. and returning after 8 p m

"I got into officiating with intramurals at Penn State , then football, basketball and lacrosse," Cook recalled. He worked Eastern college football for 25 yearsprominent schools including Ivy League. "I had to limit my travel to three states, and soon gave up basketball because the job and family meant I could only work on Saturda ys," Cook ex-

San Diego Pilot Hero Was Beta Matt Hawley

Media throughout the country in late May told the story and paid homage to a navy pilot who sacrificed his life to save others by guiding his burning jet away from pleasure boaters in Shelter Bay just off the San Diego coastline. He was Lt. Matthew C. Hawley, Washington (St. Louis) ' 80, who was stationed at the nearby Miramar Naval Air Station.

While it is standard procedure for a pilot in the rear of the two -seat Sky hawk to eject first , Brother Hawley apparently ordered his flight officer, Kathryn Cullen, out before him and she survived. Matt successfully tried to steer the crashing jet away from crowds of boats in the Bay before ejecting himself and by that time , it was too late for the parachute to open. He was picked up by helicopter and flown to nearby University of California Medical Center, where he died an hour later.

A good student and athlete who played football and was a wrestler, Hawley was also chairman of the student academic commission. His home was St. Louis Commissioned an ensign in December 1980, he earned his wings as a pilot in February 1984.

plained He was president of the South Jersey Football Officials Association.

It is also o.f interest to note that the "boss" of the entire RCA far -fl ung "empire ," the president of RCA Corporation, is Robert R Frederick, DePauw '48 (The Beta Th eta Pi, Spring 1983).

Don and Virginia Cook have three daughters, two of whom graduated from Penn State , and one from Widener College . Virginia . has a Beta brother, Ed Miller, P enn State '55, who currently is assistant executive director of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission.

Active in Community, Too

Don Cook, a Penn State alumni Fellow , is active in the Haddonfield, N.J. United Methodist Church, where he has taught Sunday school, and has been involved in United Way, Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs

Cook's competitive but congenial nature carries onto the tennis court , where he's a strong "weekend player " now . As athlete and official, he says "Young men learn a lot about life through sports , especially football to get knocked down but get a chance to come back to play within the rules and as a team to learn what it is to win and to lose "

Alumni Associations

So. Ontario's Black Tie Annual Dinner Features Famed ·Atty. J. J. Robinette

Oft en referred to as the "dean of Canadian lawyers," John J. Robinette, Toronto '26, Q .C., talked to a large gathering of Betas at the annual Black Tie dinner of the Southern Ontario Alumni Association on Feb. 3, at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club in Toronto. It was a packed house which is testimonial to the high esteem in which Brother Robinette is held, and also a reflection of the popularity of this annual alumni event.

Starting with his initiation in 1923, Brother Robinette walked his way verbally through 56 years of the teaching and practice of law. He recalled warmly the memories of life in the old Beta house on St. George Street. His legal recollections began with his graduation from Osgoode Hall in 1929 followed by teaching law throughout the 1930's. He noted the idiosyncrasies of some of Canada ' s most famous judges and passed along tales about famous quickwitted but sometimes ill-prepared counsel.

Brother Robinette traced the evolution of the legal system since 1929, and the implications of Canada's newest and most important legal document, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A man of immense modesty, he skirted the many of his famous Canadian trials which invariably were media intensive. It indeed is refreshing to watch and to listen to a man who exudes such enthusiasm in the professional discipline which has benefited greatly from his unparalleled contri butions

Known as "J. J." by the entire legal fraternity in Canada, his concluding remarks were rewarded by a warm and appreciative standing ovation. Here is truly a man who has "had a care and governed himself accordingly." (G. C. M. "Gerry" Shier, Toronto '50 and B. B. C. "Burt" Tait, Toronto '62.)

Although scheduled for the outside patio, the festivities were forced inside by a strong thunderstorm which began precisely at 1 p.m., and concluded at 4 p.m.-the exact time frame for the event.

The association is indebted to Jim, Louisville '73, and Maria for their warm hospitality and generosity A handsome book of Maurice Sendak illustrations was presented to them following the singing which included The Loving Cup

Dear jack:

I received my spring issue the other da and as a former editor, I must commend you on the exciting new format.

Since I moved to Texas about 20 years ago (was it really that long?) and finally found the editing position and my responsibilities in Dallas too much to handle long distance, must admit I haven't had the interest in the Magazine I once did. But I find I'm looking at it and reading it with renewed interest lately.

Let me know if I can help you in any way from here in Chicago. I am devoting all my time now to free -l ance writing. I'll be happy to help if I can

Chicago, Ill.

Yours in- kaiRobert H. Kurz Miami '58

Dr. Y. C. James Yen, Yale '18, has been accorded the honor of being transformed into a major character in The Call , the critically-acclaimed new novel by John Hersey , one of America's greatest living writers. Although the name and some historical details have been altered to meet the demands of Hersey's fictional art, Jimmy Yen's Beta brothers will easily identify the " remarkable, fiery" Yale graduate, educator and social reformer named "Johnny Wu." Like , Wu, Jimmy Yen did volunteer work with the Chinese labor corps in France during World I and there began an unprecedented program to teach the illiterate coolies to read and write Like Wu, he went on to lead a massive literacy campaign in China , and then launched a revolutionary rural reconstruction movement to help millions of downtrodden peasants achieve better education, livelihood, health and self-government.

Although The Call does not relate his more recent activities, readers of articles in The Beta Theta Pi issues of Winter 1979 and Spring 1984 will know that, after leaving China, Jimmy Yen founded the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) to disseminate his people -centered approach to development- "not relief, but release , " as he puts it-throughout the third world At the age of 91 , Dr Yen is still active as IIRR ' s chairman, and in February-March 1985 delivered six lectures on the history and philosophy of rural reconstruction to development professionals from nine third world countries at the Institute ' s world headquarters in the Philippines.

ALABAMA

The spring semester ended on a positive note for Delta Theta Our scholastic standing continued to improve and it shows even more promise for the future . Rush looks very promising for the summer and, with our renewed alumni support, we should have a strong pledge class for next fall.

Delta Theta was also very proud to welcome eight new members into the chapter who were initiated on our 20th anniversary.

Congratulations go to Timothy Culpepper, '85, and Michael Tuck, '85, on their admission to the University Law School and to Christopher Thomas, '86, on being named the "mike man" for next year's varsity cheerleading squad. (Chri s topher Griffit h , ' 86, Corresponding Secretary)

ARIZONA STATE

The spring semester proved a continuous series of important events , both administratively and socially, for the men of Delta Tau. It was during this time that substantive accomplishments were initiated in the organization of an efficient alumni network, and the development of a new rush program based upon the guidelines issued by Arizona State University's first dry rush experiment. Success was evident , too, in the area of social activity, highlighted by such events as Spring Formal, Delta Tau ' s 10 -year Founders Reunion, the first annual Psychedelic Sixties Party and our achievements in the illustrious Greek Games.

The men of Delta Tau decided that the development of a strong and efficient alumni association for the expanding number of Arizona State Beta graduates was necessary when there developed a conflict of events which, although proving to be extremely successful , resulted in one very hectic weekend. A lack of contact, due to the absence of a definite communication grid, was attributed to the confusion Nevertheless, the active members and the alumni got together to discuss the necessity for improved and more efficient systems of promulgating information, as well as generating a specific organizational plan for bringing the alumni together into a cohesive group , brimming with Beta spirit and enthusiasm.

The brothers also found it necessary to adapt to a new dry rush policy being instituted by Arizona State University in the fall. This was the result of trends toward increased liability of hosts serving alcoholic beverages to guests. The chapter is approaching the new policy with great optimism , as it will remove the influence and prominence of alcohol as the reason men are interested in becoming members of the Greek community. We currently are speculating that such a pro-

gram will provide us with more mature and responsible men, interested in playing an active role in Beta Theta Pi as opposed to those who simply wish to "party" on a continuous basis.

Although Delta Tau was weaker than usual in the field of academics , it still placed first amongst the fraternity chapters officially recognized by Arizona State For the first time in quite a while, however, we were edged out of first place in grade rankings by two fraternity colonies by a few hundredths of a point.

Our social calendar was incredibly full of events that were both customary and innovative. Our Spring Formal was very traditional, being held at the Sheraton Hotel, utilizing its ballroom facilities. Our Psychedelic Sixties Party, on the other hand, consisted of spraypaint graffiti , dressing in "groovy" outfits and jamming to classic rock. The Founders 10year Reunion was a rendezvous at the Beta house, but not of founders exclusively . A large number of alumni and their wives showed up to reminisce and to provide lighthearted suggestions for the active members. Although we failed to place in Greek Sing, we did score a relatively favorable victory in Greek Games with a third.

The men of Delta Tau are looking forward to a bright future now that a crucial and highly pivota l semester has been conquered successfully. With improved alumni relations and a newly revised and superior rush program , it appears as if Beta Theta Pi is going to be one house that will be difficult to contain here at Arizona State University . As we forage into what the future holds, we , as a chapter, will emulate the success by which Beta Theta Pi has become famous. (Allen R. Hard ing, '86, Treasurer)

AUBURN

The brothers of Delta Zeta returned to spring quarter with determination to reach the goals set at the beginning of the year. The quarter began with the initiation of nine new brothers and the pledging of 16 young men who will add much to this chapter. Because of the stress on academic excellence, all 16 pledges have worked hard on their studies and should be initiated in the fall. Although Beta ranks high in grades at Auburn , efforts continually are being made to become number one on campus.

Several of the accomplishments of which we are extremely proud are our All-Sports Championship and second place in the Alpha Omicron Pi Achievement Award. Also, we instituted an Alcohol Awareness Program on Friday and Saturday nights in which two brothers spend one night a quarter picking up others who many need a ride home. This program is under the direction of Graduate in

Residence William Stewart, '83, and Robe Gregory, '87. This was one of the first pr grams to be put into use on ca m pus and 11 hope that others will follow .

Other activities for the chapter included th initiation of 27 new brothers of the · State chapter and campaigning for brothel running for campus offices. W. Timoth Mitchell, '87, was elected to a second term 1 Off-Campus Senator and Paul Sullivan, '8 . was elected Editor of The Plainsman. Pa1 also was named as a Spade, one of the top-te seniors on campus.

This first year in the new Beta house been a very exciting and prosperous one. W have been landscaping the yard and look fo ward to completing this project during th fall. Another accomplishment at Delta Zet was the building of a deck behind the overlooking the campus. We hope that if haven't been to visit the new Beta house, will make plans to join us this fall during ball season. (James E. Pitt III, '85, Com spending Secretary)

BALL STATE

Delta Iota and Ball State University are finish ing the 1984-1985 school year with some im portant transitions. New officers have bee1 elected and are led by Scott Willen, '86, presi dent. Special thanks to President john Schal ler, ' 85 , for his leadership and guidance.

With the spring quarter came an outstand ing rush for the chapter. Hats off to Rusl Chairmen Thomas Hocker, ' 87 , and Davie Rhinesmith , '86. Their program has attractec 18 fine young men to pledge a tradition of ex cellence.

With the indoctrination of our officers, th1 general feeling around the chapter is one o improvement. We continually are working to ward making things better , whether it is th1 physical appearance of the house, our bond i! -KAI- , a c ademics, athletics or social standing.

Academi c ally, our overall G.P .A. rankec first among fraternities for the first two quar ters , and knowing the brothers and their de dication to scholastic achievement, there i1 no doubt that our third quarter will keep m on top

In intramural sports, we have made th£ playoffs in flag football , basketball and softball. The bike team finished sixth in Bike-a· Thon. In the area of varsity sports, Crai& Kantner, ' 87 , re c eived a varsity letter in foot· ball, jam e s Athey , ' 86 , Vincent Vondervellen , '86, and Pledge Bernie Pesut swam for the varsity swim team. Special congratulations are in order for jim Athey and Pledge Bernie Pesut for being elected co-captains.

The chapter is looking forward to this year's General Convention , in the hopes that we can all Beta chapters across the na-

that we are not only in good standing, in excellent standing. During the course 1e year , the chapter has made great strides ard excell e nce and is respe c ted greatly on 1pus by both the administration and stut body

BAYLOR

! Delta Psi chapter is proud to report conte d progress and great succes s for the ing semester, and bright e r prospects for fall. The inspirational spark of our victory he 1985 Cotton Bowl Parade (Sweepstakes ard) grew into a flame that continues to n, growing stronger and brighter. As our pter approaches its fifth anniversary this , the improvements in a lumni relations I the strengthening commitments of the mbership promise continued growth and •elopment.

lelta Psi saw improvement in several sig•cant areas. Academic reports for the ing semester are expected to indicate a ;e, once again, including those of the new mbers that were pledging part of the sester . Service projects included the second 1Ual Soccer Tournament , benefiting the tco Center for Youth and the painting of an erly lady's home. We reached the finals in leyball and the play -offs in men ' s softball :1 co-ree softball (with the Little Sisters) , all intramural competition. Further, all problS with the university administration have m resolved, leading the Dean of Men and : Vice President of Student Affairs to feel 1t Delta Psi has been outstanding in its naround , and they have been congratulatoof our progress The chapter also upheld its tgstanding tradition of organizing the best ': ial events

Ne also are taking significant steps in prepIlion for the fall semester Administrative sistant C Gilmore Dutton III, Centre '83, :ited Delta Psi recently , helping us to develour rush program and increase the size of r membership. We also continue to commicate actively with District Chief Wade McMullen , Texas ' 79 , who has provided valuable assistance and support, and largely responsible for our positive outlook. ;l sident-elect, Dennis McLaughlin , '86 , alady is preparing to provide the necessary tdership in the summer , as well as the fall , -d is organizing an executive council retreat , the purpose of defining short, medium .d long-term goals for the various officers d the chapter

Finally, we extend our congratulations to !lSident Eric Gensheimer , '85, and all of the her graduating seniors. The brothers of Delpsi are on the rise, and we are very grateful all of those who have supported us through me difficult times and guided us to success . Keith Long, ' 85, Secr e tary)

BELOIT

'l rkened days fell upon Chi chapter in the 1ring of 1985. At the beginning of the term, e Beloit Betas probably witnessed the darkt moment of the chapter ' s history. The Juse had been taken away , a slew of restricJns and requirements were instituted, and e General Fraternity strongly had considi; d revoking our charter Even the spectacu-

lar efforts made by Matth e w Quinlivan , '86 , S. Clay Robinson , ' 85, and Scott Kl e iner, '85 , the 16 pledges (largest pledge class among all the fraternities on campus) , and a 2 95 GPA did not pull Chi out of the black .

At this point, some wanted just to go down with the ship, while some wanted to put th e chapter back as one of the best Needless to say , dissen!)ion broke out and nothing very constructive happened for some time. With help from such a large and supportive pledg e class, some of the actives stood up and spoke the things which needed to be said Paul Fo ster , '86 , deserves most of the credit for getting things going . Those who still felt dead set about not changing our condition faded away ,le aving a new and united group of tru e brothers with the mission of bringing Chi chapter back to life.

With su c h a committed group , the c ondition of the chapter had finally taken a great swing toward the better and will continue in this direction as quality men on campus di scover and become part of the true spirit of Beta Theta Pi brotherhood .

The spring term was filled with improvements The hous e was furnished, cleaned and painted, which resulted in the school giving the house back to the chapter We were highly outspoken within the coll e ge and influential on student life here on campus We also enjoyed sponsoring several successful c ampus and community projects

We thank all the alumni for the support we received in keeping Chi chapter alive , especially George Lenard, '80, Robert Atwell, '80 , Robert Virgil , ' 56 , Robert Porter , '56 , and David Threinen, ' 56. Without your help , we surely would have perished We also thank those who were able to attend the farewell celebration in honor of Milton johnson, '49 Milt's guidance as financial advisor will be missed and a tough position to fill

As for the future of Chi chapter, we will continue to strive with our alumni and General Fraternity toward achieving the high standards of excellence put forth by our founding fathers and contemporary leaders (Jeffrey Fein, '86, Corre s ponding Se cretary)

BETHANY

As the brothers of Psi chapter look back on the school year , they do so with pride, for it was one of the truly great years in our fraternity's venerable history Perhaps the most important reason for this feeling of pride was our academic performance. The house average was an impressive 2.9592 , the highest fraternity average on campus . This was the result of an increas e d commitment to academics that was actively stressed and led by Scholarship Chairman Martin Hoffman , ' 85. Psi chapter Betas reaped several academic awards, placing many brothers on Dean ' s List , (which requires at least a 3.65 GPA) , and numerous brothers were inducted into honorary societies in their respective fields of study .

This was also a banner year for our rush program Rush Chairman W Dale Wytiaz , '85, led the way as Psi chapter pledged andr ecently initiated 29 freshmen. While pledge class e s almost always are referred to as being diversified , this class truly is. Many of these 29 fine young men are solid scholars. This pledge class also boasts athletes participating in such sports as football, swimming, soccer and baseball. House leadership is another important quality to be found in this class. It is

imperativ e that the upperclassmen of Psi chapter impres s upon the freshmen the importance of academics.

Two Psi Beta s h e ld influential leadership positions on campus this year. Mark Hermsen, ' 86, was th e head re s ident assistant. The Stud e nt Board of Governors is Tro y Martin, ' 86 , who is looking forward to another semester in this position

With the final results yet to be officially totaled , Psi seems destined to win yet another intramural cup . After a very disappointing second place finish in football, the chapter won both intramural basketball league championships In an upset , Leonard Lamatrice, ' 85, hit an incredible half-court jump shot at the buzzer to capture a one point victory. In the other league, the Beta Beef squad powered its way to an undefeated championship season We also won the swimming competition handily

The chapter also is very proud of the strong support supplied by our alumni. A fine example of this can be seen by our house corporation ' s generosity It has recently financed several improvements for the house, most noticeable of which is the new color television This type of support is invaluable for house spirit and our social fun c tions.

Psi chapter anxiously is awaiting its 125th anniversary by holding the 125th Psi stampede on june 6, 7, 8 of 1986 . All alumni are strongly urged to attend this very special occasion. (Eric Weisenburger, '86, Secretary/ Scholarship Chairman)

BOWDOIN

Another year has come to a close for the student body of Bowdoin College. The Beta Sigma chapter is proud to have a graduating senior class of approximately 20 members We wish them all luck in their future endeavors. Also, we wish the senior class of 1986 a happy and productive year.

Athletically , with sizeable contributions from Betas, the year has been very good. The lacrosse team, as well as the baseball team , have turned in some great performances. For the 1985-1986 year, we hope to see a productive football season, led by Captain Mark Marwede , '86.

Last summer, due to the assistance of some of the brothers, the Beta Sigma chapter had succeeded in renovating the interior of the house This summer , with the same help, some outside landscaping will be a nice complement to the inside of the house (Neil Wells, ' 87, Secretary)

BOWLING GREEN

This spring semester for Delta Delta was one of productivity and excitement. As always , 500 fever was in the air as the brothers prepared for the 22nd running of the Beta 500 The chairman of this year ' s successful race was Craig Dodds, '85 The crowd , numbering 3,000, watched as the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority won their respective divisions . Among the crowd this year were the Wright State Betas. Wright State was one of many chapters that visited us last year All proceeds from the race went to benefit the Wood County Senior Citizens Not only did the race boost our reputation on campus , but by working on the event together , we have strengthened our brotherhood and , onc e again, have been given a reason to strive for excellence.

The May elections were held and yielded the following officers: Peter Brown, ' 86, president; John Hlivko, '87 , vice president; Allen Hite , '86, secretary ; Marc Mastro , ' 87, treasurer· and Brian Maxwell, '88, assistant treasurer: The new officers are enthusiastic and are looking forward to a great 1985-86 school year.

Rush activities are slated for the summer months, under the supervision of Rush Chairman Byron Horter, '86. Rush functions are to be held in the Cleveland, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh areas. Many rush parties are planned for the fall and we are looking forward to a strong pledge class

Our fall social calendar rapidly is filling as our fine reputation on campus carries on. Through the diligent work of everyone, the hou'Se grade point average has been on the rise and we are looking forward to a terrific year in academics.

Delta Delta thanks all the alumni and chapters that stopped by, and we look forward to more of your visits this coming year. (Allen M . Hite, '86, Secretary)

BRITISH COLUMBIA

The close of the 1984-85 academic year gives time for reflection on the many great achievements of Gamma Omicron. The I.F.C. Sports Award has been retained by the chapter through the diligent efforts of sports reps., Steven Gustavson, '86, and Paul Quinn , ' 86. This victory is not surprising in light of the fact that six of the top ten U.B.C. intramural athletes were Betas. Furthermore, Keith Wright, '85, was voted U.B.C. Athlete of the Year. In keeping with the Beta tradition of excellence, Gamma Omicron was victorious for the second consecutive time in the I.F.C. Songfest competition This year's Blues Brothers theme was under the direction of Brian Fletcher, '88.

The real winners, however, were the needy and underprivileged, for this year was full of charitable activities and contributions by the chapter. All Songfest proceeds, as well as other social function profits, were earmarked for charity. The chapter's own annual charity fundraiser, "Walk For joe," raised over $2,000 for the B C. Heart Foundation.

In this coming year, our chapter celebrates its 50th anniversary. This will be a very joyous occasion for all of us and a curious one , as well, for it will be the first opportunity to present fraternal fifties cards to our eldest alumni.

Spring Formal, organized by Antony Kalla, '87, was one of the best formals that anyone can remember. Approximately 200 actives , alumni and escorts attended Speaking of alumni, the Last Man Out Stag fundraising event, held annually by the alumni was enjoyed tremendously by those actives in attendance.

The new school year looks as bright as the one just ending A youthful executive (50% neophyte), under the guidance of President Allan C Copping, '86, and the senior fraternity members, will be building for the future. Right now all of us look forward to an actionpacked, fun-filled summer holiday put together by our summer social committee.

The doors of our chapter house always are open to all Betas who may find themselves in our area. Vancouver plays host to the 1986 World Exposition, and we hope to see a lot of Betas from all over the continent coming to take in this event. You can ' t beat the bargain on the dollar (Peter A. Sprague, '86, First Vice President)

CALIFORNIA

The brothers of the Omega chapter are looking forward to this fall with much enthusiasm The university responsored our chapter at the beginning of last spring and, from there there was no looking back. We had a spring with numerous events filling our social calendar. As usual, the semester was capped by our traditional Zapata Week. The brothers braved the chilly April waters of the American River to kick off the week , and all emerged virtually unscathed.

We will be continuing our efforts at Emerson Elementary School this fall semest e r, where this year we donated over 1 ,000 hours of community service work. The children are eager to have us back, and all should go well under the leadership of Philanthropy Chairman Charles B. (Charlie) Wilde, Jr. , ' 87 Scholastically, we are doing quite well. Spring semester, we recorded a strong 2.69 house grade point average to rank us 18th out of 42 fraternities. Our pledges did even better, pulling out a 2.93 GPA and ranking 12th out of 42. We hope to continue this trend of academic excellence this fall.

Everything is running along smoothly under the leadership of President Stephen Church, '86 Vice President james I. (Jim) Christie, Jr., ' 86, is doing a fantastic job , and Geoffrey (Jeff) Hand, ' 86 , is keeping us operating in the black as our new house manager.

Our spring rushing efforts yielded five good men and we hope to build that number to around 20 this fall.

We have been doing very well with intramural sports but have not had much success past the semi's We still boast a strong athletic house with quarterbacks, Jeffrey Walsh, ' 86, and Bradford Howe, '87, and a vast number of rugby players. Stephen (Opie) Ellis, '85, James (Rosebud) MacLaughlin, '86, Richard (Rich) Hextrum, '85, and Peter (Danger) Burschinger, '86, were all starters on the 1985 Collegiate Champion Cal rugby team Also , john Tuggle, ' 83, will be back playing with the New York Giants of the National Football League after sitting out last season due to a knee injury.

Basically , this year was great, and the upcoming year looks even better. With football season approaching , please do not hesitate to come by the house for our ever-popular postgame festivities. Unfortunately Big Game is away this fall, so the mighty Golden Bear will just have to go down to the pit, known as the Farm, to embarrass the lowly Cardinal. However, the Cal-USC game is at home, and our indu!itrious Mothers' Club is planning to sell box lunches at the house before the game.

Roll on you Bears , and we hope to see you on game days We would love to give you a house tour and show you we're back to stay.

CALIFORNIA-IRVINE

The 1984-85 school year proved to be very successful for Beta at Irvine. Our chapter now is larger and stronger than ever. The majority of the brothers are sophomores and juniors, so we can expect to go nowhere but up.

Philanthropy was a major aspect of our endeavors. Our Beta Buddie program still is in full swing at the local youth centers. The Greek Songfest raised $10,000 for Make a Wish. In addition to Songfest, Edward Hoban, ' 87, and Norman Abell, '86, master-

minded the first annual Miami Triad F for over 700 guests with the proceeds alsc ing to Make a Wish.

Sports turned out to be very exciting P a strong fall quarter, the Delta Sigma B were able to keep up the momentum all : and win the IFC sports trophy. In looking ward to the upcoming year, we have I hopes of a repeat victory.

Starting off the 1985-86 school year, l Abell, ' 86, will serve as president. His ex1 tive committee will include Frederick T figh , ' 87 , vice president; Alexander Hubb ' 87, secretary; Norman Abell, treasurer; Juergens, '87, IFC representative; and )• Perlstein , '87, member-at-large. We also b had a change in our chapter advisor from frey Frazier , '82, to Patrick Guinet, '83. A thanks goes to jeff for a job well done.

Our social calendar was very busy dur the winter and spring quarters. During wiF quarter, we held our lOth anniversary Aim Banqu e t with Vice President Alan G. You British Columbia '70, as our guest of honor the spring, we held our traditional P1 Springs Weekend. A great time basking in sun w a s had by all

The Irvine brothers look forward to a n and challenging school year. Good luck to fellow Betas. (Matthew Close, '87, Secretor!

Geiser, '87, rresponding Secretary)

CAR NEGIE-MELLON

e Gamma Iota chapter started the spring nester with the opening of our new 200 gall, hexagonal fish tank. Our old one had n broken the previous semester, ending a clition. The new tank, however, is a very pressive addition to our bar room. The ject was led by Denzil Boss, '86, and RobKukowski, '86, who did a super job.

Jn Feb. 3, we initiated 14 very fine men, 1ong them number 1200. The new brothers sh the number of actives to 51, the highest as been in the last few years.

ne of the major events of the semester was e second annual Beta Theta Pi March-ofes Fundraiser. A tradition started last ar by David Richards, '86, and continued Social Chairman Daniel Serrao, '87. A ski p for two was raffled off, almost $700 col:ted, and we had a great time doing it.

<\nother big event was Parents Day. We saw largest attendance in the history of this ent. Over 190 parents, relatives and brothwere treated to a fabulous meal prepared our chef, Jack Irwin. District Chief W Arur Berta!, Bethany '82, then spoke of frateriy life to the parents, and President Rob lkowski introduced the officers and deribed their duties Afterwards, everyone 3yed and had a great time "partying with e fish." Special thanks to Daniel Gercak, 5, and Edward Gallager, '87, who organized •d ran the affair.

eta's reputation and campus involvement ve risen to new heights this semester, placg five brothers in high positions on campus, mething no other Carnegie-Mellon fraternican claim. The brothers and offices held e: Richard Theg, '86, president, Council of aternity Presidents (CFP); Dave Richards, 1sh chairman, CFP; Joseph Sadecky, '86, 1ief court justice, CFP; Daniel Preston, '87, cretary, CFP and Interfraternity Council; 1c:l John Friedman, '88, managing editor of e Tartan (school newspaper).

Beta continues to dominate the intramural ;arts scene. As usual, we did very well in <sketball and softball. All four of our basketill teams had great seasons and the softball illm brought home the championship trophy y winning every game by a large margin. We expanded to other sports this year. Dan

(Battleship) Serrao, Neal (Call Me Bruce) Shipley, '87, and (Dirty Joe) Sadecky led the floor hockey team, managed by Darin C. Ball, '88, to an undefeated season, while Michael (Spike) Hensel, ' 87, and Domenick (Tube) Colangelo, '86, led the volleyball team to a second place finish Joseph Orlowski, '86 , collected MVP honors for his performance on the volleyball court.

Spring semester at C-MU goes out with a bang at Spring Carnival. The highlight of which is the buggy races where high-tech buggies race the 0.8 mile course that is part up-hill and part down. Beta is always very competitive, claiming to have the fastest push team for the up-hill parts of the race . This year , our A-team finished second with a time of 2:13.27 and our B-team finished third at 2:15.93 . It was an improvement over last year's third and sixth place finishes but still a slight disappointment. Jude Sweeney , '85, Denzil Boss, and Theodore Kartofilis, '84, spent endless hours building and working on the buggies. A special thanks to them and everyone that helped out, which is practically every brother After the races, Beta let loose with a band on the porch in the afternoon, dancing on the truck, and an ali-day party . This year our carnival booth made a larger profit than that of any previous year , almost tripling the amount made last year.

This past semester has been a good one for the Gamma Iota chapter, but we still strive for improvement. Many house improvements are planned for the summer and we will continue to try to be a strong influence in all areas of campus life. We welcome all Betas that are in the area to stop over and have some "BET A FUN!" Especially alumni, we are planning to have the biggest and best Homecoming celebration in years, so stop by and see the progress we have made (Gerald Mancini, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

CENTRAL MICHIGAN COLONY

The Betas here at Central Michigan see another year come to a close. Each of us learning more and more about our "Good and Great" fraternity. Beta Theta Pi has instilled in all of us, a spirit and feeling of brotherhood that is unsurpassed by any other organization on campus, and possibly abroad. It is that time of year when we welcome new men to the bond, and where we come to wish our graduating seniors the best of luck in future endeavors, as they take on the role of becoming an alumnus.

We have four members leaving our select band of brothers-Robert L. Bartz, '85, Steven A Swindell, '85, Oren A Lane , '85, and George R Campbell, '85. They leave a group of 21 returning members in the fall, which includes the last two of the founding fathers. The hard work and dedication that each of these brothers gave to the group will be missed , but Beta Theta Pi will march on.

The CMU Betas were a busy group winter semester, with a couple community projects , a fundraiser and a philanthropic. In the month of March, we started with a fundraiser , which was a Lift-A-Than , which raised nearly $150 to help in our quest for charter. Also during the month of March, we posted a 2-4-1 record in floor hockey, that involved a couple of tough defeats , but we know that the team next year will be the team to beat.

April seemed to be our busiest month, with initiation of seven new brothers , on April 13.

Following that , Greek Week took place. The Greek Week Sing competition kicked off the fun-filled week . The Betas shined this year, by co ming in second to 10-year-winner, Phi Sigma Epsilon. Also, Gregory Compton, '86, served as one of the masters of ceremony , which really showed the Greek sys tem here at Central that the Betas are on the move. Not only did we place high in Sing, but we fared well in other activities, such as fourth place in the track meet and sixth place in the swim meet.

On April 27, we had a playground cleanup for one of the local elementary schools. In the afternoon, we held our second annual FatherSon social event. it was a fun-filled evening for all.

In most cases, the good news is usually saved for last and it isn't any different now. As most people and brothers throughout Beta's broad domain know, we will be petitioning for our charter at the 146th General Convention in Boca Raton, Fla. The hard work anc:l dedication of the brothers finally will pay off. We have striven to be a pioneer on our campus, as far as scholastics, and to be a fraternity that cooperates with the community and university in any way possible and, of course, upholding the image of true gentlemen.

The fraternity of Beta Theta Pi has persevered through the years and Central has as well. We will continue to " march along " here for years to come and will uphold the great name of Beta Theta Pi. GO BET A! (Gregory M. Compton, ' 86, Former Secretary)

CENTRE

The strong year that Epsilon had, ended with tragedy . Stacey Lynn Graves, '85, died suddenly of double pneumonia during the last week of school. The chapter deeply mourns this irreplaceable loss , and will not forget Stacey's endearing presence. Epsilon thanks the many who sent·their prayers and support during this trying period.

Epsilon did indeed have a strong year Besides continued work on the renovation of the chapter room , the brothers lent their strengths and time to community service. In this year's annual Sea-Saw-A-Than, we raised money for the Humane Society, while also having one of the best times of the year. On several occasions , the chapter also pitched in to work at a day care center for the elderly.

Epsilon was no slouch this year in spring sports as, once again, Beta was represented on every varsity team Particularly well-represented were the tennis, track and golf teams. Jeffrey Holbrook , '85, · a graduating senior, will leave a triathalon dynasty behind as he , once again, won the Centre Triathalon b y a considerable amount. Hopefully, Jeffrey Hunyor, '87, has started a string by winning at Centre's Frisbee Golf Tournament

After the many wonderful things she did for us , we thank our sweetheart, Karen Hayes , and say good-bye. We look forward to next year and our time with new sweetheart, Debra Collins.

To the seniors, Jeff Holbrook, J. Todd Nelson, Patrick Laughlin , J Patrick McAndless and Nestor (Dan) Worobetz. We wish them the best of luck in their endeavors.

The Epsilon chapter looks forward to a successful rush next year With the experience the large sophomore class gained this year, our high goals seem easily obtainable . (T. Christopher Nowatka, ' 87, Corresponding Secretary)

CINCINNATI

As we look forward to the new school year in 1985-1986, the brothers of Beta Nu reflect back (as well we should) to the end of the 1984-1985 schoo l year.

Once again , we had a very successfu l spring quarter. With our new president , john Sawyer, '86, and the rest of his administration assuming their positions , Beta Nu was ready to get under way. As the quarter began , our attentions concentrated on rush. Under the leadership of Rush Coordinator Alfredo Hida lgo, ' 86, we pledged 22 quality men-the largest pledge class on campus. As for the active chapter , once again Beta is the largest fraternity at the University of Cinc inn ati

Continually becoming more and more invo lv ed on campus, the brothers brought many honors upon our chapter. Our devotion to sc hol ast ics was ev id ent in our academic achievements. Beta was first among the large fraternities a nd third overa ll in grade point average for the year. Individual honors went to Richard Vanatsky, '85, and Thomas Mowery, ' 86 , for being accepted int o the Order of Omega. In addition to being president and a founding member of t h e Order of Omega , Br other Mowery's other hon ors included induction into Men's Metro, S1gma S1gma and Omicron Delta Kappa. joseph Fries, '86, became a member of Cincinnatus wh il e David DePauw , '86, became president of Tau Beta Pi.

Along with our acade mi c achievements, Beta Nu co ntinu ed to dominate the at hl et ic field. For the fourth stra ig ht year , we won the All-Sports trophy, by accumula ting mor e than twice the points of o ur n ea r est compet itor. Durin g spring quarter, t h e brothers put their effo rt s into winning Greek Week and brought that tr ophy home as well.

Off-campus philanthropic projects in c lud ed a dunking booth with proceeds go in g to Big Brothers and Big S isters, a lon g with o ur chapt e r 's continued support towards Kids Fest, a Cincinnati com munit y function.

The 95th annual Dio genes Banquet was a s u ccess with a good turnout of alumni. We were h o n o r ed by having General Secretary B. Hume Morris, Centre '68, s peak . In addition to Brother Morris, we were delighted to have Archivist H. H. Stephenson, Miami '39, and Administrative Secretary Thomas Beyer, Nebraska '80, as ou r guests A specia l thanks t o all the a lumni who came for their co ntinu ed support.

On ce again, the building company continu ed to serve o ur chapter we ll. We thank it, along with Mothers Club, for the upkeep on one of the finest buildings around camp u s Beta Nu is growing st r onger and stronger, and with the support of the a lumni , there is no limit to our progression. We are always h appy to have a lumni visit, and with Homecoming drawing near, we hope to see many of them at the house. (Roger

CLEMSON

As the Delta Nus return home for the summer, we tend to pause and reflect on the spring semester. Many good times were had and a new group of fine brothers· was welcomed. During the summer , we hope everyone enjoys themselves and makes an adequate amount of money for the fa ll semester.

Some of the major highlights of spring term includ ed an A lumn i Pig Roast with the a lum s and actives joining in a day of hearty eating

and merry making. The Beta Blues soccer team enjoyed a successful season w1th a JOUrney to the finals of the intramural playoffs, even though a win could not be secured.

Greek Day and Dixie Day proved equa ll y successful even with n ew regulat ions.

Over t h e summer, we are hoping for creative rush ideas for the fall. Rush Chairman Scott Fog le, ' 86, is anticipating a l arge number of recruits to bui ld our membersh1p, smce a number of the brothers will be graduating in the spring. A lon g with rush the new Clemson football season. Everyone 1s encouraged to attend the pre -game cook-outs and cheer the Tigers on as they , hopefully, travel toward a bowl game.

Even with all t h e good times, the Delta Nus have not forgotten their scho lastics. With. an overa ll 2.5 grade point average, we are domg fine and a lw ays are striv in g to bring it higher.

Fall semester , A. Andrew Warren IV, '87 , and James C. Herrmann , '87, w ill be returning from the service They served their country well in one semester of trammg. We are proud of our boys.

I'm sure everyone wi ll be h appy to start the fall se m ester in August and l et's hope it w ill be as much fun as the spring. (Kenneth L. Newsome, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

COLORADO

With the close of another academic year, the Beta Tau chapter takes g r eat pride in l ooking back at the acco mpli shments that took place spr in g semester To start things off, we raised $4,000 to be donated to charity. A great deal of this money was raised at the 1st annua l Raggaefest Party. Money has been donated to a senio r c iti zen group in Boulder, and other m oney w ill be donated according ly. Special thanks go to Phil anthropy Chairman Derek Marshall, '86.

Under the gu idan ce of Song Leader john Bubb, '85, the Betas kept up the tradition of a s inging fraternity by taking first place with the Pi Phi's in Songfest, which was a part of Greek Week. Th e Beta T aus a lso proved to be the top athletes on camp u s. We were the c h amps in t h e J. F.C. footba ll tournament, volleyball, softb a ll , tennis and racquetball. To add to a ll t hi s , our C P.A. is the top on camp u s.

With the help of o u r 18 newly-initiated Betas, a nd the great a lumni support, the Beta Tau hou se is taking on a n ew look. The re n ovatio n of the hou se is instilling more pride in the m e mb ers to keep th e hou se looking good . Recently, a parents organization was formed to add input and su pport in the renovation of the hous e. Parents Weekend was a great success, thanks to the leadership of Vice President Matthew Myers, '85

For the up coming fall semes t er, the Beta Taus w ill be working with the new financial advisor, Bradley Greiner, '8 3, and Pr es ident Christopher Lutz , '86.

Alumni are welcome to stop by and see the improvements in the h ouse, and to meet the Betas. Again, after home football games, the house will be open to a ll a lumn i, and food and drink will be served. Hope to see you a ll around next year. (John S Stroeher, '88, Secretory)

Another feather for our cap was the retaking of the Intramural Sports Trophy after a two year absence. Athletic "wonder kid," john S. Olsson, '87, led us during the '84-'85 season to top places in three sports and second honors in four more, as the Betas built an early lead and then coasted home to gold.

Due to our fine fall '84 rush, the best at Mines, we didn't run a pledge program in the spring, which traditionally is not very popular on campus. Instead, we directed our efforts toward Engineer Days, April 10 thru April 14, and pre-rushed prospective freshmen as only Betas can. We hope to see all these fine young men in the falL By the time this is published, we will already have completed another successful rush conducted by Chairmen james F. Mattern, '86, and Brent A.

With the close of the semester came the elections for the fall and the initiation of four Colorado State University Colony pledges. Beta Phi is proud to be the sponsor chapter for this energetic colony which will, hopefully, become another chapter of Beta Theta Pi of which john Reily Knox would be proud. The election results were unique in the fact that both President Henry E. Heyser, '86, and Vice President Walton M. Newlon, '88, started school at other colleges before transferring to Mines. Brother Heyser was initiated at Beta Tau (University of Colorado), and Brother Newlon attended University of California at San Diego. Paul D. Dubois, '86, was elected pledge committee chairman and will be in charge of an ever-changing and challenging pledge program ..

COLUMBIA

The spring of 1985 proved to be exceptionally eventful and successful for the brothers of the Alpha Alpha chapter. On the field, in the classroom, on campus and in our soon to be renovated brownstone, Beta accomplishments were a perfect comp lement to a warm spring in New York City.

On the fairways, jeffrey Roylance, '85, and President Daniel Ninivaggi, '86, led Columbia's golf team to the NCAA tournament. Brother Roylance served as captain of both the golf and wrestling teams. David Barry, '87, wrestled his way to Ivy League honors by dominating the 125 lb. weight class. In baseball, Kenneth Veneziano, '87, powered his way into a starting job as designated hitter and outfielder. Robert Cea, '86, set the school record in the pole vault and placed very well in Eastern competition. On the popular intramural level, the Alpha Alphas, under the athletic wisdom of Gerald (Coach) McCarthy, '87, reached the playoffs in volleyball competition and the finals of ultimate frisbee. The highlight of the spring came during the annual Fraternity Tug -of-War match where the mighty Betas destroyed rivals en route to a second place finish.

The outstanding economics student in the university was awarded to jonathan Fried.,_an, ' 85, who received the prestigious award, along with a scholarship to Princeton in September. On campus , David Lebowitz, '86, was elected chairman of the College Student CounciL Yet, the most significant progress and success came in our red, white and blue house on 114th street.

With the skyrocketing rents in New York and the absolutely necessary need for structural improvements on our house, the brothers planned a Spring Alumni Dinner at which three Fraternal Fifties were honored, and the alumni were educated about the condition of the Alpha Alpha homestead. Weeks later, plans were begun for structural renovations to start in june. With the number of new brothers increasing each term , the need for greater renovations presents itself as the foremost reality for the Alpha Alphas. All m all , spring ended in a fraternal fashion , as Social Chairmen Edward Zahos, '86, and Stephen Ross, '85 , organized the 2nd annual Spring Bash. The party capped a great year in which oldi'Jr and younger brothers brought themselves closer to finish a successful year, kick off a great summer, and look forward to get-

ting back together in September (Patrick C. McGarrigle, ' 86, Corresponding Secretary)

CORNELL

Beta Delta faced many problems during the spring '85 semester. In january , the dreary weather in Ithaca wasn ' t nearly as dreary as our formal rush . The brotherhood allowed the past two large pledge classes to lull it into a false sense of security. We lacked our usual motivation and while the new pledges were each outstanding, we fell short of the number we would have liked.

Our pledge situation seemed to symbolize other causes for concern within the chapter. At the bottom of the difficulties seemed to be a basic lack of cohesiveness-brothers were not getting along with each other as well as they should. Another clear cut sign of this was attendance at chapter meetings Previously, missing a chapter meeting was fairly rare. Now it had become a commonplace event.

But, towards the end of the semester, there were a couple of turning points to head us back to the right direction. Under the direction of j. Kshanaka (Shaun) jayasundera, '87, our first major community service event in many years was held . We were blessed with the first nice day of spring and, along with Tri-Delt Sorority , had the first annual Spring into Spring festival. We raised nearly $1,000, which was donated to the Ithaca Youth Bureau.

A few weeks later, Beta Delta staged a Late Night with Beta after-hours party. The success of this party was another needed morale booster for the chapter . Another positive aspect was our spring athletics . The brothers had a great time with softball and made it to the playoffs. Unfortunately, we didn't win the championship but we're looking forward to next year.

Regarding the upcoming semester, our work has been cut out for us as far as rush is concerned. We will appreciate any and all recommendations. The chapter realizes that it has to work hard to carry on in Beta ' s broad domain. (Timothy J. Sullivan, '87, Secretary)

DARTMOUTH

The and outlook of the Alpha Omega chapter have been nothing but positive With membership and activities at all-time highs , our chapter once again has been the campus leader academically and socially. President William A. Marozas, ' 86, represented Beta at the recent Interfraternity Council bean and nut roast at the hallowed Raccoon Lodge in nearby Stover Falls, Vt. Rush Chairman Robert C Rech , '86, was pleased with a robust rush class and Social Chairman Gregory j Lesko , ' 86 , has kept relations with sororities strong b y organizing the annual coffee and donut breakfast to commemorate the original Beta link to Dartmouth sororities in 1975.

Improvements on the physical structure of the chapter house-and they have been numerous-have highlighted the recent term Interim House Manager C. Gerald Saltzgaber , ' 86, has been diligently installing new windows and doors on 6 Webster Ave. A new project planned by the chapter is the construction of a new road to connect the house to the main street. Tentatively named The Beta Way , plans also include a basketball court and an organized parking arrangement. Construction could be delayed , however , by

the necessary demolition of the existing "Chapter Wall". john M Sierotko, '87, has been commissioned to install mirrors in all the bathrooms.

Spring term social schedule was highlighted by the Jimmy Buffet concert. Several Betas were in charge of security and did a stellar job in preventing the crowd from getting out of hand Betas also look forward to fall term's top social gathering, the annual bonfire in memory of the late great Dartmouth nose guard and Beta, Thomas V J. Stephens, '36. Culturally, Matthew (The Wiz) Landa , '86, took first place in the Winter Carnival Drama Competition with his vicious and seemingly unrelenting portrayal of the Roman Emperor Caligula.

On the sporting fields, Beta continues to be a campus leader in both intramurals and intercollegiate competition. In basketball , scoring leader Michael T. Maguire, '86, led Beta to the school championships with his ferocious dunks and tenacious defense. C Douglas Mitman, '86, at third base , set the tone for a strong softball team's performance in the college tournament. On the diamond, steady Scott A Truitt, ' 86, showed undying devotion by overcoming a slow start to finish as the team leader in pitching and overall enthusiasm. On a sad note, Ted H. Eliopoulos, ' 86, was forced to quit Dartmouth's traveling tennis team because he couldn't bear to leave his fellow Beta brothers behind.

Alpha Omega encourages any alums to return to see all the changes at the house made possible by their donations. As the 1985-1986 academic year approaches, we look forward to maintaining our constructive role as a campus leader and vanguard of social and academic life. (Arthur J. Conley, '86 , Secretary)

' DENISON

The Alpha Eta chapter of Beta Theta Pi, hopefully, will maintain its traditional position as the outstand i ng fraternity at Denison University during the 1985-86 academic year. Though we will miss the accomplished senior class of last year, an involved corps of actives remain.

A strong senior class will provide us with great leadership As always, Alpha Eta athletics prevail. Varsity captains include: Scott Tyler, football; Peter Symington, soccer; John Easton, swimming; and All-American David Breschi , lacrosse. Christopher Carelli's role as president of the Interfraternity Council and Andrew Hearn's position as chairman of the campus pub are other examples of the involvement of the class of '86. The junior class sports seven varsity lacrosse performers and five varsity football players. David Elliott's effort at defensive end earned him first team All -Conference honors. Mark Pyper and Timothy Wall, the general manager and business manager, respectively, of the campus radio station; Douglas Newman, the academic chairman of the Student Senate; and Scott Halliday, co-governor of the Denison junior class are other standouts

Though still in the infant stages of college , our 12 new initiates should prove to be quite worthy of their badges Perhaps, the most diverse of the classes, athletically, our sophomores excel in five varsity sports-Robert Hanna in golf and Richard Gatterdam in basketball Their strong grade point average and enthusiastic attitude should produce some future campus leaders.

Alpha Eta alums will be glad to hear that last spring's initiation was a great success. A

large crowd of brothers returned for t?e I tive weekend. All were very pleased w1th 1 appearance of the house. David Behler, ' , the house manager, and Ronald Cornell, '; our yard supervisor, have worked long hm to improve the cosmetics of our 48-year 1 hdme They have installed new sidewal carpets, shrubbery and plumbing fixtures. \ sincerely hope that more alumni and otl: Betas throughout the country will come visit the Alpha Etas in the future. Our do are open (Mark Py pe r, '87, Correspondi Secretary)

DENVER

Things just keep getting better here at Alp Zeta. Spring quarter started out with one our best spring rushes ever. Led by Ru Chairman Scott Hacker, '88 , we pledged : outstanding men. As a class, the pledges h a 3.37 G.P.A., the highest of all spr i ng pled classes at Denver. Also, they raised $250 I their project, which was landscaping t front lawn with railroad ties, greatly imprc ing the look of our house. Even Kappa E complimented them for a job well done! Cat pus participation has increased steadil R. Wayne Pickerell, '87, recently was elect' to the Student Senate and David Shaw, '87, varsity swimmer, received the Greek Vars · Athlete of the Year Award from IFC and tl Panhellenic Council.

Our intramural record has improved tD mendously. Brian Elliff, '86, brought home first place trophy for men's s i ngles in tenn and the volleyball team thrashed Kappa Sig : the playoffs, unfortunately losing to Phi Ko in a very close final match. One of the hig lights of spring term was the success of 01 softball team. We beat ATO in the first roun of the playoffs and rolled over our archrival SAE, to a 16-7 victory in the second round.

Without a doubt, the event of the quart£ was our Fraternal Fifty recognition dinne After cocktails, we had a superb dinner 1 honor our silver greys. Those receiving 5 year pins were Elmer Metcalfe, '36, W. Beve ly Hart , '36 , W. Porter Nelson, '38, and Robe t Johnstone, '38. All spoke of their escapades a actives and Dr. Robert C. Shattuck, '26, told bit of the early history of Alpha Zeta. Afte we joined in the Mystic Circle around th Dragon for the Loving Cup and Richard Cod rell, '49, led a singing marathon well i1.1to th night. The great turnout by our alumni lifte active spirits greatly, as did the generous cor tribution of carpentry work by Brother Johr stone A special thanks to Stephen Kraus: '86, for coordinating the event.

In closing, we thank all the alums, especi ly David Jackson, '83, and Lenn Pruitt, '83, fa their assistance in revitalizing the housin corporation, and Randall S (Randy) Helman Central Michigan '84, for all of his time an1 support. One last note to the chapters in trict 26. This fall is Alpha Zeta's turn for th• district conclave. Be prepared for a Beta Basi of epidemic proportions! (David M. Al e x a n der, '86, President)

DEPAUW

Delta chapter prides itself in being one of th; most well -rounded fraternities on the De Pauw campus. Semester in and semester out we are a continual leader in academics, intra murals, varsity sports, campus and, of course, brotherhood. Spring semeste '85 was no exception.

Academically, Delta has improved consid·

since the previous grading period. As ported in the last issue, the house GPA for ll semester was 2.95. As it turns out, this PA ranks Delta third overall among fraterni3S, as compared to sixth the previous se-

In intramural sports, the house emerged om a second place position at the end of :st semester to claim the All-Intramural trolY for the second time in the past three Jars. Anchored by strong performances in Jth major and minor sports, including first finishes in softball and badminton , Delchapter surpassed its nearest competitor by 30 points!

The annual Little 500 was enjoyed by all the :others, with a week full of parties , culmiJting with the bike race itself. Beta finished xth in the middle of the pack, which was 1mewhat a disappointment to our four rid·s, veterans, Todd M. Strader, '87 , Timothy Michaels , '87, Michael P. Lynch, '87, and JOkie rider, Thomas R. Downham , '88. The ouse was supportive and appreciative of teir efforts, and we all look forward to an imroved season next year.

In addition to faring well in intramurals, still boasts having athletes in every rna-

jor and most minor spo rt s at DePauw. Five of the brothers were honored with most valuable player awards in their collegiate sports. Phillip E. Wendel, '86, Lucius E.

Brother Curran also was presented the Wood Award given to the most outstanding junior as judged by the univ e rsit y.

Of course, one of the highlights of every spring semester at De lta is the initiation of our pledges. This year, initiation took place on April 6, as we admitted 19 new broth ers into our fraternal bond. We were fortunate enough to have Administrative Secretary Thomas A. Beyer, Nebraska ' 80, attend the ceremonies and our banquet. We thoroughly enjoyed his commentary.

Other notable events include the annual presentation of the Coley O'Brian award by Delta chapter to an individual on campus who has "done the most for intramural athletics at DePauw." We also participated in two successful philanthropy projects The first was a Bowl-A-Than, which raised well over $500 for a Greencastle day care center. The second was a project taken on by the freshman class for the Indiana Christian Boys Home The freshmen spent the day constructing recreation facilities and teaching athletics. We also were very fortunate to receive numerous visits from alumni and Beta administrators , such as District Chief Robert T. Grand, Wabash '78.

In closing , Delta's success as a Beta chapter is not only a reflection of the current members living in the house , but as a reflection of a long tradition of excellence It is our alumni who deserve credit for providing an example which we strive to duplicate (Chad F. Winst o n, ' 87, Corresponding Secretary)

DICKINSON

Going through the empty c hapter house with the Dean of Residential Life the morning after graduation, I took the time to reminisce about some of the events that occurred thls past spring. One occurrence that stood out very clearly in my mind was a letter we received from a Kappa Kappa Gamma senior following a pledge exchange and party we had with her sorority She confessed that she didn ' t frequent our functions and she hadn ' t any close friends amongst our brotherhood , yet she perceived something very special about us the evening of the exchange and party She was touched by our strong affinity for each other, our enthusiasm and pride in our frater nity. The openness and hospitality we extended to our guests also earned h er admiration. Indeed, she said , the Kappa sisters look forward to another function with our brotherhood this coming fall .

At Dickinson, the Betas seem to be hearing this type of praise all around Other Greeks , non-Greeks , members of the faculty and administration all are taking note of the strong and positive role we are playing on campus On the philanthropy front, we opened the semester b y presenting a check for $1,000 to the Carlisle Local Action Center, raised from our polesitting marathon the previous semester. Through the year, we donated much spare

food and supplies from our functions to this needy organization. At the close of the semester, we again co -sponsored a Special Olympics in Harrisburg Several of our new Little Sisters joined the brothers in this effort. All visitors to our chapter house praised our rece ntly renovated television room and entry hall. Thanks to alumni dollars, these areas are now the pride of our chapter house In the areas of academics and extracurricular involvement, Carl T. Ludden, '86, Michael G. Hoffman, '87, and Kenneth N. Elgarten, '87, were recognized as Dana Scholars. Brother Hoffman, who is also our current president, recently was honored as Dickinson Sophomore of the Year, the second Beta in a row to receive this award.

With spring ca me the initiation of a new pledge class. Nine freshmen and three sophomores, including two legacies-Phillip Williams , '88, and Peter '87. With varied academic and extracurricular interests, these men promise to contribute much to the house. The four graduating seniors, Brian P. J. Latimer , I. Glenn Graubart, Scott L. Rehr and L. Adam Winegard, are confident that they will carry on the Beta tradition

We were fortunate this semester to see the return of several alumni for both scheduled and impromptu events The turnout for our annual Alumni Smoker was somewhat low, but we were glad to see some of the older alumni come back. Many recent alumni returned to send the graduating brothers off with a bang during Senior Week . I, and the rest of the active brothers, wish the Alpha Sigma Class of 1985 the best of luck in the future, and we sincerely thank them for four years of hard work and lo yal friendship.

Events to look forward to this fall are Wildwood Weekend in early October and Homecoming, Nov. 1 through 3. We hope alumni of all ages will return for these dates. With our strong spirit, we look forward to a successful fall rush. Addr ess recommendations to Rush · Chairman james G. Votaw, ' 86 . Our doors at 41 South College Street are opened to all Betas. Please stop by. (Steven M. Lebowitz, '87, Alumni Secretary)

EASTERN KENTUCKY

The spring ' 85 semester was exciting and successful for Delta Xi. Again , the Betas demonstrated to the EKU campus their dominance in major Greek competitions by capturing their fourth straight Greek Week title We co ntinued to do well in basketball and softball (especially the B-team), and also have improved our scholastics a great deal. The spring social program was limited , but found the Be tas hosting the annual Miami Triad party as only the Betas can Probably our biggest achievement, how ever, was the Beta Theta Pi-Am e rican Cancer Society jail-A-Than. Through the efforts of Philanthropy Chairman jos ep h W. Osbourn e , ' 86, and the rest of the chapter , the Eastern Betas helped raise over $14,000, as well as getting to know many prominent members of the Richmond community.

Several of our memb e rs recently hav e graduat ed and joined the ranks of our alumni. Congratulations to joey L Reffett, Steven P. H ernandez, Rob ert L. Herzog, Michael L. Morris , Thomas 0. Craft, and past presidents, Robert T. Juett and Judson F. Devlin

This fall semester promises to be an excellent time for the Delta Xi chapter. Our goals for the year include further improving of our scholastics , remaining co mpetitiv e in Greek

events and intramurals, having another successful rush, and obtaining a house. We invite our alumni to help us achieve these goals and also to come visit or write-you're always welcome (Ronald R. Scott, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

EMORY

Determination and planning characterized the spring semester of the Gamma Upsilon chapter. We had the largest group of graduating seniors that we have had in many years Their experience will be missed sorely, as was expressed to them at the Senior Roast. We are sorry to see them go, but we feel that the chapter is in capable hands under the new president, David jorjani, '86

Spring also marked the first Little Sister initiation that the chapter has held We are all rather proud of our new Daughters of the Diamond and wish them all the best.

Other firsts for Gamma Upsilon include our first annual alumni chapter meeting and the first formal we have held independently of other chapters. In the past, we have been invited to Georgia Tech. Frankly, the formal went better than we had hoped. Thanks to David Wightman, '87, for planning the formal; everyone had a great time.

Even though we've lost our seniors, the chapter shows no lack of leadership potential. Currently, we are proud to have both the vice president, Anand (Andy) Mahtani, '86 , and the secretary, Kevin Mencke, '87, of the Student Government as very active brothers Also, Clifford Weiss, '87, was president of the pre-law society and Harold Green, '85, was president of the pre-med honor society. We hope to continue this tradition of campus leadership Our membership has held steady I think we would all feel better to see additional growth. Freshman rush has been deferred this year until the second semester. This means that we'll all have to work harder next fall, and we will. We feel we have shown that Gamma Upsilon has got what it takes. Even though the growth has been slow at times, it has been consistent. Now, we feel that a true measure of our success would be through alumni support. We thank our alums for the help and guidance that they so generously have provided in the past. All Beta alumni are invited to stop by the house and meet the current brothers. Finally, we extend good luck to all the chapters during rush. Knock'em out.

(Mark Shumate, '87, Secretary)

FLORIDA

The Gamma Xi chapter had a difficult spring semester, but we have worked out most of our problems and are looking forward to a successful1985-86 school year.

Due largely to the efforts of Rush Chairman Christopher Damian, '87, and Pledge Trainer Vincent U Levito, '87, we pledged and initiated 10 fine young men. It was a pleasure to welcome back several of our alumni for the initiation, in addition to District Chief Michael Bloom, Georgia Tech '68.

Gamma Xi continues to do very well in academics This spring we were proud to learn that Marcus Sciadini, ' 85, was selected for membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Congratulations to Marc and to our many other outstanding scholars.

At the end of spring semester new officers were elected as follows: Mark Huaman, '86, president; Charles Spelman, ' 86 , vice presi-

dent· Dennis Gill, '86, treasurer; and Edward H. Thompson, '87, secretary. Elections will now be held at the end of every spring semester.

Brother Spelman and Mark Reeder, '86, worked very hard to help rebuild the Delta Lambda chapter at Florida State We wish our new brothers at FSU the best of luck.

This summer, the chapter house will undergo more renovations The chapter room and housemother's suite will be renovated. Once again the actives thank jerome Loughren, '79 , and Michael Klimas , '77, for making these improvements possible.

Gamma Xi plans to devote the fall semester to service and scholarship. We invite any Beta visiting the Sunshine State to stop by the Gamma Xi house. (Edward H. Thompson, '87, Secretary)

FLORIDA STATE

After a short absence from the campus of Florida State University, the Delta Lambda chapter of Beta Theta Pi has reorganized and returned.

Early in the spring term of 1985, 32 young men pledged the Delta Lambda chapter with high hopes and aspirations for the future. The pledge period was supervised by the Gamma Xi chapter of the University of Florida. Dr. Millard Roberts, Florida '52 , and Bruce Bechard, Florida '58, volunteered their time and efforts to make the pledgeship a success.

During the pledge period, the group was enthusiastic about becoming involved in Greek activities. In competition among 18 fraternities in the Delta Gamma Sorority's Anchor Splash, the FSU Betas placed third over-all while helping to raise money for the blind. After much effort to establish good relations with campus sororities, we have hosted many mixers and also attended a lawn party with the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority.

With much hard work and cooperation from Administrative Assistant Douglas Stewart, Virginia Tech '83, the General Fraternity and Ivan johnson, Georgia Tech '67, president of the house corporation, the chapter was able to procure the beautiful Gamma Phi Beta Sorority house. With the acquisition of the most desirable fraternity house on campus, the upcoming 1985-86 rushes look very promising and probably will be the best seen by this chapter We also are very optimistic about intramurals, socials, academics and , of course, the opportunity to pledge and initiate new Betas.

After an eventful pledge period, the initiation period approached. With much cooperation from alumni, the General Fraternity and the chapters from Florida and Auburn, the pre-initiation ceremonies were held at Dr. Roberts' home, supervised by District Chief Michael Bloom, Georgia Tech '68, and Doug Stewart. The following day , the chapter traveled to Auburn, Ala ., and participated in formal initiation ceremonies at Auburn University. Following the ceremonies, the Auburn chapter held a party for the newly-initiated FSU Betas.

During the summer, the Delta Lambda chapter hopes to put everything into working order with our new house and new chapter. We are looking forward to being involved with alumni associations , both on the local level and the national level. If any alumni are interested in becoming involved with a very energetic, up-and-coming group, please feel free to contact us at 633 W. jefferson St., Tallahassee, FL 32304, (904) 599-9194.

On top , three Little Sisters join in this photo Florida Stat e Be tas' softball team In the lov. photo , FSU B e tas we re then engaged in h th e De lta Gamma 's rai se money for the durin g the latter ' s Anchor Splash.

GEORGIA TECH

e arrival of spring quarter brought the tthers of Gamma Eta back to Little Tara afa much needed break from the long, cold nler.

\ natural highlight of the spring quarter :ne with the annual Greek Week festivities. ta actively was involved by sponsoring its nual Greek Goddess competition, for the orities on campus. During the Greek Sing mpetition, Kenneth Walters, '87, S. Vern tkes, '86, Kevin Haas, Bruce Thomas, '85, d W.

HANOVER

lumni, Homecoming festivities will be held uring the weekend of Oct. 6. Among the : heduled events will be our annual pig roast. l e hope you can all make it to Hanover for ;e reunion and celebration weekend!

The winding down of spring semester caught many successes and achievements tr Iota chapter. To begin, we thank the memers from Delta Iota chapter at Ball State for ieir hospitality, and the friendships made be.Yeen our two chapters this past spring. A ood thing like this must continue .

Among our noblest achievements around :!Jlpus is our participation on the Interfrarnity Council. We have three members curmtly serving on the executive council, as ell as two delegates. They include W. Hunt riest, '86, vice president , Robert Dell, ' 87, ce president, and Charles (Chip) Haskell, 7, rush chairman Jonathan Gay, '87, and ohn Bickers, '87, bring up the delegate ranks. hristopher Hickerson, '88, was selected to J a Student Orientation Leader.

On the academic side, Charles Kocher!, '85, :1d Jeffrey Clapp, '86, both earned perfect 4.0 .P.A.'s, and along with four other brothers

he Beta Theta Pi/Fall1985

were named to the Dean's List. When the results arrive, we hope to be on top this semester, ahead of all the other fraternities on campus. This, by far , will be our greatest accomplishment. It has been a long time since Iota has been able to make this claim.

As noted before, the active chapter has been working throughout the year toward the remodeling of the exterior and interior of the house The housing corporation, headed by Homer (Bud) Sams, ' 59, has taken out a $40,000 loan for renovation purposes. By the end of the summer, work on the bathrooms, windows and guttering is expected to be completed In addition to the housing corporation ' s efforts, many brothers will arrive early fall semester to work on our contribution which includes, new kitchen appliances, furniture and draperies, new carpeting and wall paneling We hope that these measures will give much enjoyment and pride for the chapter and classes to come.

Finally, fraternal relations around campus are better than ever . In May, we helped organize a Miami Triad Party, featuring competitions between the houses. Due to its success, we plan to make it an annual event.

Many of the objectives we set for ourselves were met this year, for instance, campus involvement and relations, academics, leadership and structure improvements. Next year, we anticipate, will be no different as Iota chapter will be striving for improvement until it is #1 on campus. (David C.

Lunn, '87)

IDAHO

Finals week has come and gone, and as the dust finally has begun to settle, thoughts turn to summer fun and the beginning of a strong summer rush program Newly-elected rush chairman, John Farley, '87, and his rush committee, will be hard at work preparing for the big week in August. Speaking of newly-elected officers , they are: John Newhouse, ' 85, president; Robert Champlin, '87, vice president; Michael Burke, ' 87 , treasurer; Timothy Schwarze, '87, secretary; Michael Kleffner, '86, house manager; Herbert Sprinkel, '87, head hasher; and Joseph Kleffner, '85, pledge trainer

This spring we also initiated 11 fine new members. As always, the ceremonies and banquet were very well executed Our major spring events, Beta Week, Freaker's Ball and Parent's Weekend, all turned out to be major successes. We finished first in intramurals , thanks to some strong finishes in many of the spring sports We are proud to announce that 14 members of Gamma Gamma participated in graduation ceremonies this spring We are happy for them, but, at the same time, sad to see them go.

The upcoming fall semester promises to be a good one. With rush , fall initiation and Jenkin's Day coming up, we hope to see some new faces as well as some old familiar ones We also have a softball tournament for charity planned for the second weekend of the fall semester. Gamma Gamma's doors always are open, so please feel free to stop by if you are in the area.

INDIANA

As another school year comes to a close, we at Pi chapter must regretfully say goodbye to our graduating seniors and wish them the best of luck in their futures. As these Betas

Who 's cold? Obviousl y, not th ese shirt-sleeve d Be tas from th e Idaho chapt er

complete th e ir four years in Bloomington , we lose some outstanding leadership but also are confident in the fact that there will be capable replacements We know that these men will continue to keep in touch with the house in the years to come

In intramurals , we finished in second place on campus , a mere 48 points out of first place We made a very strong run in the spring with an outstanding performance from the "B" softball team that finished second in the AllCampus Tournament. Next year's Intra'mural Chairmen Albert Bodine , ' 86, and K Michael Wolfert, '88, are looking forward to the challenge of pushing the house the little bit extra needed to c apture the championship.

The 1985 Little 500 wa s a tough day for Pi chapter's team. Co-coaches and riders, John Lugar, '85, and Timoth y Gavin , '85, along with riders, Todd May, '87, and Mike Wolfert had trained hard all winter, but on race day bad luck struck as the team was involved in three accidents. It took a very gutsy performance to finish the race with only three riders after John Lugar separated his shoulder and was out. The house is very proud of the effort that these men put in and the sacrifices they made for our chapter.

Spring and summer rush weekends have been held as Pi chapter welcomed many fine young men to the house for a weekend of fine activities planned by our rush committee As bids are extended to thos e deemed worthy to one day wear the badge and bear the name of Beta Theta Pi , we are confident that these new pledges will c ontinue to ke ep Pi chapter a strong force in th e Greek world at Indiana Universit y

Another fine year has passed and we are looking forward to the upcoming one as new leaders are looked to for guidance We thank everyone for their great support in 1985 , and as always look forward to hearing from our alumni with an y questions or comments they might have. (Daniel McQuilkin, '86, Corresponding Secretary)

IOWA

The spring semester at the Alpha Be ta chapter commenced with the initiation of 19 fine men into our brotherhood. We are confident that these new Betas are going to make the reputation of our house even finer because of the pride and participation they already have shown in the areas of scholarship, intramural athletics and university leadership

With this strong new group of initiates and the election of Robert Singer, '86 , as president; Scot Brechon, ' 87 , vice president; Kurt Bowers, '87, secretary; and Scott Anderegg, '86, treasurer, the Alpha Beta chapter moved forward to complete a successful spring full of events.

Our annual Winter Formal was held in March with a weekend trip to Kansas City's beautiful Crown Center Hotel. A good time was had by all and , as always, the memories of this great excursion will not be forgotten soon.

In May , our annual Alumni Golf Tournament Weekend, under the direction of Scot Brechon, was as successful as ever, with over 45 alums returning to Iowa City. This event included an alumni party, an all-day round of golf and festivities , and a Saturday evening banquet and awards ceremony.

Although our intramural standing dropped toward the end of the semester, we did not succumb to defeat of any kind and ended up with a third place final standing among all fraternities at the University of Iowa. During the oncoming year, we expect no less than a first place finish with the return of almost all the fine athletes who played key roles in winning many of the individual athletic championships including golf, tennis, racquetball and track, not to mention second place finishes in many other sports including football.

Following the new academic amendment to the Code and Constitution of the General Fra!ernity , our chapter also has made a pledge to mcrease our awareness of the importance of high academic achievement. Under the direction of Scholarship Chairman jeffrey Lorenger, ' 87 , our aim is to keep our chapter w1thm the top five fraternities on campus, accordmg to grade point averages, as well as to seek new pledges that have proven records of academic achievement. Additionally, to be eligible for activation, a pledge must now posa 2.25 or higher G.P.A. during his pledgeship.

This fall, we look forward to having a great semester fueled by an incoming class of quality pledges, and by what seems to be a new spring of enthusiasm that has evolved among the active chapter as of late. With this combination , success should be the rule for this year.

ship and social endeavors.

Thanks to great participation and overwhelming support by the house, the Betas have recaptured the intramural championship in both the fraternity and the independent leagues. A great deal of the points earned were from doubles team victories in racquetball, handball and horseshoes. Taking first place in the track meet and winning the softball season also contributed to the fraternity league win.

Although grade point standings are unknown at this time, Gamma Epsilon Betas are confident of a positive academic outcome. Through the efforts of Randy Regher, '86, scholarship chairman , the men hope to maintain the grade point average of above 3.0 and to place in the top quartile of 26 fraternities.

The newly-elected social chairmen, Bri an McDonough, '86, and Chris Miller , '86, were quite successful at organizing the last big party of the year, the "Beta Lei." The party proved to be a great escape from the pressures of school. Plans are already being made for an afternoon function , to take place next fall , with the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

Before the fall term Scott Cusick, '86, and David Ediger , '87 , will construct a new T .V. viewing area in what is now being used as a weight room. The present T V. room will be converted into a sleeping dorm for the new pledge class The making of a promising pledge class is already under way, and a large number of fall pledges is anticipated.

With the end of the semester came the election of new officers-Bob Copher, '86, president; Scott Scrogin , ' 87, vice president and Eric Webster, '86, treasurer, are a few of the new officers that will help the Gamma Epsilon chapter continue the cultivation of the intellect and friendly feelings that are typical to Beta Theta Pi.

The end of the 1984-85 school year also brings to a close another successful year for the brothers of Alpha Nu at the University of Kansas. Our successfulness was demonstrated in many areas, including scholastics and Rock Chalk Review.

The fall semester drew to a close with Alpha Nu obtaining a house grade point average of 3 12. This accomplishment placed in our possession, once again , the scholarship trophy The trophy is awarded at the end of each semester to the fraternity with the highest grade point average. Although grades for the spring semester have not been tabulated at the time of this writing , Alpha Nu seems to be well on its way to another victory in scholastic honors.

LAWRENCE

1e Gamma Pi chapter has just made a giant ap forward in reestablishing the Beta name i the Lawrence campus-we have finally acJired the house. All the brothers are very exted and are looking forward to moving next !!. There is still much work to be done, hower, as we still need a few furnishings as ell as all new appliances. This summer, we e planning to do some renovating which the use badly needs

This winter's rush program was very suclssful for us. We initiated our only junior on larch 8. On April 13 , we initiated six freshen in Main Hall-a revival of a sacred Beta adition. This now brings our total underaduate membership to 19. With our living the house and switching to a dry rush, we pe to find improved success in next year's •sh program.

We thank the General Fraternity for paying •e expenses for four representatives to at:nd the Beta Leadership Workshop. The !eas we gained from the seminars will be of [eat help in the organization of the chapter We have completed the installation of offiers and they are as follows: president , Peter 1cGaffigan, '87; vice president, Kristopher '87; treasurer , Amarnath Budarapu ,

'87; recording secretary, Erik Ehlert, '87; corresponding secretary, Christopher Cudzinovic , ' 88; and rush chairman, Keith Hrasky, '87.

As always, the Betas have distinguished themselves on the Lawrence campus as a group of high achievers. This year, Gamma Pi won the Lawrence Supremacy Cup for having the highest grade point average of all the fraternities. Also , four of our new initiates have been elected to membership in Lambda Sigma, a national honor society for sophomores. Thayer (Ted) Torgerson , ' 87, is president of the Interfraternity Council and Kristopher Swanson is the treasurer. Erik Ehlert was a member of both the varsity wrestling and track teams, Ted Torgerson and Jan Stevenson, '87, were also varsity track members , and Lucas Meyer , ' 87, was a member of the varsity baseball team. In addition, a Beta is involved with the Lawrence student government, and two brothers will serve as freshman counselors for next yea r

We also have become more involved in the Appleton community. Our pledge class held an Easter Egg Hunt for the children of a local day care center for its philanthropy project , and the chapter co-sponsored a picnic with the Theta 's for the Big Brother/Big Sister program.

Finally , we extend a warm welcome to Arthur Miller, '49, our new financial advisor. We wish Ralph Tippet, '54, the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for all the help he has given us. We'll miss yo u!

LEHIGH

The spring semester at Beta Chi was fill ed with great activity and achievement. Academically , the house G.P.A. rose a splendid .2, a

positiv e step toward the establishment of the chapter as an academic lead e r on campus. More Betas earned Dean's List this semester than in the last several semesters combined! One particularly encouraging aspect of our academic progress is that our pledges performed extremely well , which points to an even brighter academic future for our chapter.

Another highlight of the semester was our Fraternal Fifties day and banquet which coincided with our house corporation meeting Honored as being Betas for 50 years were Alfred Standing , ' 34, and Clay E. Lewis , '3 7, as well as several other Beta s from the classes of the 1930's. Much was to be gained by listening to their anecdotes. On top of the presence of such solid alumni, Beta Chi was honored by the attendance of General Secretary B. Hume Morris , Centre '68 , for the day Brother Morris inspired the brotherhood with a fascinating speech concerning various aspects of Beta life and lore After a hearty dinner and award ceremony c onduct ed by President Paul Sucro, ' 86, the Loving Cup was sung. Brother Lew is was heard to co mment that the house , in his opinion, has not be e n in this good of shape in recent m e mory. All of the alumni in attendance admired th e Beta Coat of Arms painting on our kitchen wall-an outstanding piece of art and a source of enjoyment to all of us Planning already is und erway for n ext year ' s banquet, and we would lik e to hear from all alumni int erested in takin g part in the event or in visiting us at any time. Lafayette W ee kend will be h e r e sooner th a n you think!

The 17 fine yo un g men who make up our pledge class look to ca rr y on the traditions of Beta Chi. Their commitment to the fraternity has proven so lid , and it was due to their efforts that many of our fun c tion s were successful. They played a n important role in our Little Sister rush program in w h ich we increased our membership by 16 new girls.

On the athletic scene , Beta Chi finished 8th this year-a recent best. Great performanc es were in wrestling (3rd place), weightlifting

Lehigh Be tas believe in realism. For their semi-annual Beach Part y, they import ed 10 tons of sa nd.

(5th place) and volleyball (quarterfinals) Look for the Betas to come out storming in the football season. No less important was our community service project-a casino night w?ich raised hundreds of dollars for the Amencan Cancer Society. Vice President Jack Vail, '86, did a fine job in the organization of the evening's events.

In addition to all of this, our partymg never was better! Our Beach Party was a huge success and we enjoyed seeing our great pals from the University of Pennsylvania chapter at another event. They ALWAYS are welcome at Beta Chi. Greek Week was quite a blast for us as the Toga Party, the Triad Party and Sunrise Cocktails simply were awesome. John (Jack) Clarke, '85 , proved Beta culinary supremacy by destroying the competition in this year's Greeker eating contest.

A look around campus shows nothing but Betas in most important positions. Pledge John Amorison was reelected president of the class of 1988 , and a lon g with John Suwak, '87, served as an integral part of the IFC Social Council. Brant Matthews, '87, serves as chairman of the prestigious Faculty Relations Committee , and Joseph Roche, '87, serves on the Community Service Committee . Two Betas are present on the athletic field for Lehigh Pledge W. William Cook started at shortstop in his freshman year and is destined for All Conference honors. Brian O'Grady, '86, had another sparkling year in the net for the lacrosse squad .

New Rush Chairmen Robert Drago , '87, and Joe Roche are planning an extraordinary rush program unparalleled in past years. We look forward to another banner rushing season .

All in all, it was a great year for Beta Chi , and we hope to continue growing and remaining a viable chapter and an integral part of the Lehigh community (Raymond A. Cooper, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

LOUISVILLE

The Louisville chapter would like to recognize itself, while being as modest as a chapter can be, for being pictured on the front cover of The Beta Theta Pi ; Spring '85 issue The cover shot commemorates Beta's new scholasti c achievement amendment. Several of the actives are pictured in the background, along with a campus sculpture of The Thinker, while University of Louisville President, Donald Swain , congratulates General Secretary B. Hume Morris, Centre '68.

The controversial decision to not take on pledges for the '85 spring rush is proving to be beneficial. The chapter used the time to rebuild a stable and self-understandable platform . Included in this rebuilding is a revised pledge program that will , hopefully, be an improvement when put into practice this fall. Steps also were taken to structure a better administration This will aid the first newlyelected administration since the reestablishment of the chapter in the summer of '84.

We are excited about the development of a housing program . General Secretary Morris and former Alumni President Robert Keats , '69, have formed the legal frame-work for the much-needed housing corporation but are lookin g for more members to finalize the steps involved Brothers Morris, Keats and members of the active chapter have met with University officials, including the president, concerning Beta Theta Pi leading the way in a new expansionary program in fraternity housing at University of Louisville. The ball is

rolling in Louisville for the Betas.

Speaking of former Alumni President Bob Keats, the chapter wishes the best of luck as well as a warm welcome for newly-elected President Eli Jackson, Wabash '78. We express confidence in his leadership and hope his involvement is successful and enjoyable

We fared well in intra!I).urals, placing sixth out of 13 in the year-end standings Special thanks and the best of luck for our intramural ' coordinator and first graduate of our new chapter, Richard Gregory, '85.

One of Delta Pi's proudest accomplishments was a record breaking donation to the Kidney Foundation from a Beta-sponsored event. Special thanks to all the brothers who worked and had fun to make the event so successful. Such accomplishments are what make fraternity life rewarding. (John C. Davis, '87)

New officers of the Delta Pi chapter are: Steven W. Smith, ' 86, president; Stephen D McCreary , Jr., '87, vice president; John F Daeuble, '87, treasurer; Ronald G. Fulmore , '87, sergeant at arms; John K. Smithson, ' 87 , recording secretary; J. Cyrus Da vis, '87, corresponding secretary; Scott D Wynkoop, ' 87 , rush chairman; Robert M. Klein, '87 , social chairman; and back again for another term , the infamous and outstanding, Michael J. Sherman, '87, pledge educator.

The chapter recently has obtained property on the University of Louisville ' s Fraternity Row and is looking forward to building a house sometime in the immediate future .

Delta Pi is now a strong 19 members and expects an excellent rush in the fall. Last year Betas gained immortality with their Long Island Tea Bash and Sorority Whipped Cream Battle, and will continue their efforts to make Beta number one on our campus

The brothers, once again, thank Chapter Advisor James D. Thaler, Centre '83, for his continued support and great hot dogs . (Stephen D. McCreary, Jr., '87 , Vice President)

MAINE

The spring semester was a crucial period for the Beta Eta chapter. After having our charter suspended in December, it was time for us to decide just how much Beta means to us Well, we all reached the verdict that Beta does mean a lot to us-too much to let it fall. We pulled together and made good things happen. We know that just 15 weeks cannot make up for all of our past blunders, but we are co nfident that our alumni, the university administration and the General Fraternity will see that we are on the right track.

In February, we had two guests from the General Fraternity. Senior Administrative Assistant Charles J. Helman , Ohio ' 82, and Administrative Assistant Douglas G. Stewart , Virginia Tech '83, came to Orono to observe our chapter and offer assistance and helpful advice to our officers. They also clarified the objectives so ught by charter suspension and outlined what steps would have to be taken to get our charter back .

Mark Spurling , '87 , and Geoffrey Hoffman, ' 87, have shown excellent leadership qualities as president and vice president, respectively Both sophomores , they have displayed the maturity and possession of common sense which is necessary for one holding such a high office. Brother Spurling has formed good relations with the administration, as well as with alumni.

Brother Hoffman led a strong pledge class of 10 through our pledge program, and a new

pledg e class of 10 is set for this fall. Brotl Hoffman recently has revamped the progr with the help of Brother Helman.

Joseph Bennett, ' 81, has as. a Tut in-Residence this year , and wtll contmue nt year in the same capacity. Brother Bennet! much respected by the brotherhood, due his ability to understand the situations faci a college student.

Paul Perry, '86, was selected to the Orde r Omega , the university honor society for f ternities Leadership, service and academ r are the factors considered for membership.

Finally , the Beta Eta chapter must say goc bye to five seniors -Ronald Chicoine_. chael DiMillo , Joseph (Rusty) Vallee , Mtch; Goulette and Christopher Morin. We wi them the best of luck. (Mark Spurling, '! President)

Upon the suggestion of our chapter advise Charles D. McKelvey, Penn State 77, the Delt Omega chapter bought a computer to orga1 ize Beta business, better communicate wit alumni , and assist with fundraising. Throug our fundraising efforts, we hope to soon fu fill our dream of purchasing a chapter house.

This past year, our recent graduates orgar ized an alumni association and elected Jam e Karanikas , '83 , president. They currently ar looking for a suitable lot or house in Colleg Park for the chapter.

M.I.T.

Closing down a productive spring term, Bet< Upsilon looks to the coming months for an in tense rush program. Rush Chairman Richarc Lattanzio , ' 87 , has promised the chapter 1 fine pledge class in the fall. Any recommen dations on freshmen entering M.I.T are, ol course , welcome With the leadership ql Pledge Trainer Alexander Romeo, '86, these young men should become prime additions to the Beta Upsilon composite in the coming ac· ademic year.

In planning for the future, the house leader· ship has taken giant leaps forward. A commit· tee headed by President James Egan, ' 86, has rewritten the chapter by-laws, which were last updated over 20 years ago. A Finance Committee, chaired by Treasurer Michael Esposito, '87, has created a set of rules and

delines designed to curb debts and wastespending. Approved by the chapter, it is Jed that the new by-laws and finance plan I be an aid to present and future Beta Upsis in administering house affairs. Thanks to 1erous donations from alumni and the efts of House Manager John Apgar , ' 87, the in house fire escapes and annex electrical ;terns and plumbing have been rebuilt Lh a little more paint and spackle, Brother gar intends to have both chapter houses in 1 form by the time the doors open for rush the fall.

he Betas once again have demonstrated 1ir athletic prowess by capturing the intraIra! championships in hockey, indoor soc:, water polo and ultimate frisbee. Also :hly ranked were Beta softball , basketball, lleyball, bowling and wrestling teams. This 1son, brothers also have represented Beta several intercollegiate teams including 'sketball, skiing, track, cross-country, gymsties and golf. Yes, as usual, Beta teams are force to be contended with on the M.I.T. mpus.

:n March, the chapter initiated a class of 12 e young men. The strength of this pledge tss already is apparent in the number of its embers taking on positions of responsibility the house. Congratulations are in order to new initiates and Pledge Trainer Lei mg, '86.

Spring term saw the restarting of the chap:'s Little Sister program, which had been 1rmant for five years. Since Program Chairen Christopher Morgen, '87, and Ronald oa rquez, '87, have done their job well, the mes on the Little Sisters' roster number er a dozen, and the list is growing.

Coordinated by Alumni Secretary Matthew 3nesuk, '87, the annual Alumni Party ought in brothers from all over. It is always pleasure to reflect on the rich tradition of Upsilon with alumni from the various .1ochs of the chapter's history .

June was a time of bidding farewell to the tapter's eight graduating seniors as they ove on to jobs and graduate schools across e country. While the house wishes them !Od luck and success, at the same time, the mse is losing some of the leaders who have 1en the cornerstone of the chapter for the st few years.

he Alpha chapter has concluded a critical on a solid note. Under the leadership of resident David Ollila, '86, and the executive Jmmittee , relations between the housing Jmpany and the active chapter have never better. Next year promises to be a prouctive one at 200 East High Street.

their respective leagues On the varsity level, the Alpha chapter continues to excel. Five Betas played a vital role in making this year's soccer season a successful one. They are Bruce McFarlane, '86, Shannon Slusher , '87 , Trevor Banks, '88, Ronald Deger, ' 88 , and John O ' Neil, '88. On the gridiron Jeffr ey Flagg , ' 87 , has made his presence known . The same can be said of Michael Suttman, '87, on the golf course. Sp ecial recognition goes to Timothy Winans, '85, who completed an outstanding swimming career this past spring. Tim was an Olympic hopeful and is recognized as one of the Mid-American Conference's most outstanding swimmers .

The renovation of the front hall took place just in time for winter rush . It provided an added attraction to an already well-designed house. House Manager James Ruch, ' 87, has put forth a great deal of effort in keeping the physical appearance of the house up to par. Special recognition is also in order for two other chapter officers. Vice President Jeffrey Stagnaro, '86, spent a great deal of time reconstructing the by-laws to improve organization and clarity Treasurer Kurt Kruggel, ' 86, has put the chapter in an excellent financial state, sometimes at the risk of stepping on a few toes; however, all of the Alpha brothers appreciate their dedication to Beta Theta Pi.

The men at 200 E. High St. continued their quest toward academic excellence. We improved our campus standing to 10th among all fraternities. This climb was due, in large part, to our outstanding pledge class which finished first among all fraternity pledge classes at Miami. Special thanks are in order for Scholarship Chairman Brian Borden, '87 , who gave us a push in the right direction. We have laid the groundwork for becoming an exceptional fraternity from an academic standpoint. Let's keep up the good work.

In closing, the 1984-85 school year was aresounding success. The lifting of the social restrictions, placed on us during the fall semester, made it possible for us to hold a number of sorority parties and our annual Spring Formal. The graduating seniors made their exit in style and, although, relations between our house director and the active chapter were strained beyond reconciliation, we are confident of finding a new house director in the very near future. Thanks again to eac h Alpha man for his contribution to the fraternity We look forward to the upcoming school yea r with great anticipation (Mark Lane , '86, Corresponding Secretary)

As the 1985 school year comes to a close , the brothers of Gamma P1!i chapter can reflect upon a successful year in many areas. This year marks Gamma Psi's 35th year at Michigan State with the chapter at its strongest point in its history. To celebrate this milestone , we have planned Homecoming '85 to take place at the Lansing Sheraton Inn in October The actives look forward to sharing stories and rekindling the bonds of brotherhood with our alumni brothers.

Rush continues to be successful.

At the writing of this, my first chapter newsletter , the 1984-85 year is fading into memory. The year ahead holds promise. This year had more than its fair share of successes and our spirits are riding high.

Campus Carnival, the lar gest student-run fundraiser in the nation , was for us a success beyond our wildest dreams. Participating in this event with a dormitory was a success not only from the standpoint of the actual compe, titian , in which we placed second for band and sixth for skit, but also was excellent for public relations and rushing, from which we pledged many members for our outstanding fall pledge class.

Dear Mr. Beyer :

This spring, the Michigan State chapter of Beta Theta Pi helped us launch a telephone campaign to support Wharton Center for Performing Arts, mid -Michigan 's premiere cultural center which is located on the MSU campus.

Beta Theta Pi's dedication and support helped us raise over $10,000. Enclosed are some photographs taken during their calling session.

Their assistance greatly was appreciated. You should be proud of their contribution towards supporting the performing arts at Michigan State University.

Sincerely,

Naomi Revzin

Dire ctor of Dev e lopment Michigan State Univer-

East Lansing, Mich. sity

Jaii-N-Bail, a fundraiser in collaboration with the American Cancer Society , was also a huge success, as we raised over $100,000 for a great cause, as well as making points with all facets of loc a l and statewide new s m edia This is an event which worked out well for all parties involved, so we plan to make it an annual affair.

Being one of the more athletic houses on campus, we also did very well in intramural competition. Our much-re vered basketball team was the highlight of the year, taking first in the class AA IFC championship For the year, the chapter placed an impressive third out of well over 100 teams campus-wide in overall intramurals

Looking at the year ahead, Homecoming, the annual Alumni Football Game and KegPut, and the Alumni Banquet, which has become an excellent new tradition in only its second year, are only a few of the many great events we have planned. To realize its full potential, this house must have the support of the alums whom we look up to and respect as the fathers of this great organization. We need your participation and hope you will put forth the time and effort to attend the events which we create for your enjoyment. For further information on these and other upcoming events, please contact Edgar A. Pelava, '86, at the chapter house. (Monte E. Rude, '88, Secretary)

MISSOURI

The ''84-' 85 school year proved to be successful for the men of the Zeta Phi chapter. While continuing to rank high in the areas of scholarship and intramurals, we were proud to see many of our brothers excel in the areas of campus service and leadership.

At the time of this writing, our yearly scholastic ranking is unknown At the end of the first semester, however, we were only thousandths of a grade point from first place, and we are hoping that the fraternity scholarship trophy will remain in our trophy case for yet another year.

In interfraternity intramurals, the house placed second. After a four-year winning streak , this was somewhat of a disappointment, but we ended the season on a good note , once again capturing first place in track.

Ever though we did not place in the competitim this year, we worked hard and had a grea time.

At the Greek Week Banquet , the chapte was honored in some very special ways. Pau S. Giordano, '85, was selected as one of fou r Greek Men of the Year and Clay M.

Second semester saw the initiation of 31 pledges , as well as the initiation of 18 pledges from the colony at UMKC. Due to the large number of actives wishing to live in the house next year, a second annex, which can be

NORTH DAKOTA

The 84-85 year at Gamma Kappa has been a busy and productive experience For the first time since the doors were reopened, we are in the black financially. We thank a ll who bonded together, especia ll y the alumni, and saved our house.

Thanks to our strong scholarship program, we have raised our grade point average for the third consecutive semester. It now stands at a solid 2.74.

The high point on the intramural scene, so far, has been our hockey team. The Betas finished 5th out of a total of 70 teams.

With the beginning of the spring semester , nine new members joined the rolls of Gamma Kappa. Rushing has been fair ; our pledge class now stands at eight fine young men.

We thank Phred Nelson, '86, who wrote the script for our production in Flickertail Follies. It was he who brought the Betas together and helped make Flickertails an excellent production.

The c hapt er house is almost full, and one of our goals next fall is to establish a pledge class that lives outside the house To do this , we ask our alumni to send us names of prospective pledges who plan to attend the University of North Dakota

With graduation upon us, we are losing three quality members-Kent Hoversten , Hal Kintigh and Patrick Nagel. We're going to miss their presence at the Beta house and we wish them lots of luck in the future. We're on our way at Gamma Kappa! (Alan Lybeck, ' 88 , Corresponding Secretary)

'77 Ohio University Betas Meet At Hilton Head for 8th Annual Golfing Weekend

Once again the Beta Kappa Class of '77 Betas, wives, gir lfriends and guests gathered in the plush surroundings of Hilton Head Island, S C., for its 8th annua l golfing outing. Winners of the best-ball tournament were: David L. Cappellari and Mike Turner with a net 65-67-132.

The Memorial Day weekend tournament, hosted by islanders Dave and Cathy Brown , attracted a field of 15 go lfers. Play opened with 18 holes on the George Fazio Course, rated by Golf Digest as one of the top-100 courses in the co untr y. The final round of the 36-hole tourney was played on the famed Harbor Town Links, home of the Heritage Golf Classic .

Including wives , fiancees, girlfriends and four long-time golfing friends, the total turnout was 26 Social events included fine dining, swimming , shopping, sailing, volleyball, beach wiffleball and a bachelor ' s party for Guy Connors, who's slated to tie the knot in August.

A special thanks from all participants to Dave and Cathy who elegantly entertained the entire group one evening and made most of the social arrangements Once again, they were fantastic and , hopefully , the island will recover by Memorial Day, 1986! (By David Culbertson, Ohio '77 )

ticipated in a large number of innovative ideas which will, hopefully, serve as the foundation for a stronger and more unified Greek system . For the first time, the men of Beta Theta Pi and Delta Tau Delta joined together to host an All-Greek party. The Betas also proved to be campus leaders by improving in-

Beta Theta Pi continued its ongoing excellence as it captured the Greek Week trophy for an unprecedented ninth year in a row. Under the faithful leadership of Brad A. Parobek, '86, and Michael Q. Thomas, '86, the Betas dominated the competition, serving notice that this chapter never has been stronger. Beta maintained its athletic prowess by keeping the Interfraternity Council's All-Sports trophy in our trophy case where it has been for the past four years.

Beta Kappa, showing that its successes are not only within the sports arena, boasted some of Ohio University's lov e liest women at the Sweetheart Formal-an event which saw Tracy Harshman crowned the new Beta sweetheart. Tracy's evening was made more memorable by being pinned to Andrew R. Stephanopoulos , '86. We also hosted two very successful weekends with the Beta moms and dads, as we invited the parents to join their sons on concurrent weekends As always, we thank the Beta parents for their continued support of the house.

Spring quarter saw the house begin a house beautification project which, through the help of our alumni, will be completed in time for the 145th anniversary of Beta Kappa next spring. Plans also are being made for the 25th anniversary of our house. Spring means it's time to send off our graduating seniors. We bid farewell to Chad D. Carroll, Robert S. Durcanin, Scott E. jorgenson, David A. Plitnik, RobertS. Mason and Mark A. Mizer.

As spring settled in , the men of Gamma Phi continued to distinguish themselves. Success in academics, athletics and social prowess continued to characterize the chapter's members.

After winning the academic cup for fall semester, the chapter was disappointed with its final year-end standing of third on campus. However, there is much optimism for the future as our newly-initiat e d freshman class ranked first both semesters. Regaining top academic position will be our first priority in 1985-86.

Honors were numerous and came frequently An unprecedented five of the Top Ten Greek Men selected for 1985 were Betas: Paul Bevilacqua , ' 85 , Dow Hughes, '85, Kenneth (Tad) Hughes , '85, Charles (Chuck) Knapp, ' 85 , and Scott Rahhal, '85. Paul Bevilacqua and Tad Hughes acquired the key to Phi Beta Kappa as they move on to medical school. Outgoing " Pe-et " (top ten senior honorary) President Dow Hughes was elected by the chapter as its Outstanding Graduate Dow's contributions to the chapter and the campus should be a model for all Betas j. Donald Andrews, '86, and Mark Evans, '86 attained tapping into both Gamma Gamma (top 1% of the Greek system) and Mortar Board.

Athletically, the chapter placed high in final campus standing. We posted campus championships in swimming and golf, and finished second in the softball tournament. The tennis teams fared well, placing third and fourth. The chapter will work hard in the coming year to attain the All-Sports trophy.

Mom's Day and Sooner Scandals were great successes . The Betas, along with the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta, brought home the Best Showmanship and Best Costume awards. Our Beta Quartet In -Kai- , was asked to open the 1985 University Talent show. The defending champions from last year brought the house down with an excellent rendition , including four-part harmony , of Billy joel's song, For the Long est Tim e The quartet also was a big hit at the Mom's Club Luncheon in April.

Betas will occupy some very influential positions on campus this year. Don Andrews was selected as director of Sooner Scandals Mark Evans will serve as IFC treasurer, chief justice on the IFC Supreme Court, and director of the university-sponsored Dad 's Day. Richard johannes , '88, and Scott Sullivan, '88, were reelected to the Student Congress.

Under the guidance of Special Proje Chairman Douglas Fellrath, '87, the chap sponsored a very successful Big Brothers a Big Sisters of Cleveland County Bow] Than The weekend event raised a whoppi $20,000 in pledges. The Betas placed first a second in the annual Zeta Tau Alpha Cha1, Golf Tournament. In addition, another Be golf team won the Alpha Gamma Delta Dial tes Tournament.

As the spring semester came to a close, t chapter bid farewell to an excellen.t. seni class. Their leadership, academ1c ab1hty a campus involvement were enormously st cessful. Six will be attending law schoo four go on to medical schools and two to d& tal schools. The remainder of the class w find themselves working on MBA's, wh others will be moving on to careers in the nancial and business worlds.

PENNSYLVANIA I

Spring 1985 proved to be one of the most su cessful and eventful semesters for the P chapter and clearly is indicative of the gem al upswing the chapter currently is experien ing. Much of our achievement this past s mester can be attributed to the fine leadersh of President Michael Sherman, '86, and Vic President Brian Sutcliffe, '86, both of who have carried on the tradition of enthusias1 and Beta spirit so prominent under forme President Lawrence Polur, '85.

Our social calendar this past spring, as c1 ordinated by Social Chairman Paul Eustac ' '87, was a tremendous success. We kicked o the semester with an Ice Age band part: Some of the more enthusiastic brothers actl ally wanted to bring snow into the house, bt for practical purposes, we ended up settlin for lots of styrofoam. Subsequent band pa l ties, mixers and rush functions, such as Bet Golf and the infamous Crab Night, were a first-rate, and the brothers eagerly anticipat an equally successful and exciting fall soci< calendar .

The chapter has continued to enjoy increa1 ing success in intramural competition. Ou basketball team won its second straight divi sian title, ending the regular season with perfect 5-0 record.

But although the brothers of Phi playee hard this spring, we worked even harder, 01 both the community and fraternal levels. h March , we sponsored a dance marathon iT conjunction with Stimulus, a University n Pennsylvania student organization, and sue ceeded in raising over $2,800 for Foster Par ents Plan. Every brother gave his all to tht marathon, especially jeffrey Mobed, '85 whom we thank for the tremendous amounl of time and effort he spent organizing and cO. ordinating the event.

The pledge program, under the direction oi Christopher Knutson, '85, is the strongest has been in years and continually is improv ing Seven fine men were added to the rolls in March and an additional four were pledged in April. We look forward to continued high quality pledging under j. David Brantley, '87

he fall.

umbers still are admittedly the most seriproblem for the chapter as we have, once in, lost a large part of our brotherhood to duation. Fortunately, we have been well 3re of this distressing situation and have an several steps to combat it. In February, held a rush workshop, led by T.I.R. james rcadante, '83, at which we discussed vari: rush strategies and their implementans. Fall rush, under Rush Chairmen Jgory Cohn, '87, and jeffrey Rogers, '86, 1mises to be one of the most elaborate and efully planned rushes ever. We welcome I would appreciate any suggestions and ade from other chapters and alumni.

.cademically the chapter has faltered in the :t year in its usually high ranking for Pennvania fraternities. However, we are espelly proud of Paul Dougherty, '85, who graded summa cum laude and recently was cted to Phi Beta Kappa, and Brian Roberts, , who has received a University of Pennsyllia award for excellence in economics It is ped that these two fine examples as well as r other "stra ight A" scholars will succeed motivating the rest of the chapter. )n a final note, the brothers of the Phi apter have a long list of thank you's to extd. Firstly, we thank General Secretary B. tme Morris II, Centre '68, for visiting the use The spirit he radiated and his words of sdom truly were inspirational and long will remembered. His visit was perhaps the ghlig ht of spring semester and we hope he II return again soon. We a lso thank all the 1mni who attended our year-end Phi Dorg nquet. We once again encourage all alumni visit the house or just drop us a line Your pport is much needed, highly valued and ea tly appreciated. On that note, we extend a artfelt thank you to Edgar Cambere, '35, for s gracious donation to the chapter. And ;t, but certainly not least, we thank james ercadante for two invaluable years of enuragement, guidance and friendship We gerly await his return as T.I.R. in the fall. .ffrey Rogers, ' 86, Secretary)

> another academic year comes to a close at lpha Upsilon, the actives definitely can 1ast of their successful spring. They wish e best for the departing seniors , and anJunce that one senior, james B. Ebert, will ive his picture placed in the librar y to comemo rate his achievements on the Penn ate diving team. The chapter also is glad to :e five new members added to the roll, and :rely their input will be invaluable in the 1ming year

This spring was filled with events that took ivantage of the good weather , and as for ;mpetition, Alpha Upsilon was out in front

The Phi-Psi 500 team, consisting of ichard Vaughan, '86, Ralph Rosa, ' 85, Curtis illo, '85, joseph Kubera, ' 85, and Kirk echde l, '88, managed to place second in the 1mpetition

In another large philanthropy, te Sy Barash Regatta, the chapter won the tg-of-war this year , and with victories in oth; areas of competition, took first place over] among Penn State fraternities. Also, the 1apter already has begun to prepare for it's ockathon, which will be planned under the :adership of Paul E. Lepard , '87.

The weather also helped the social chairJan, Gregg McDonald , '87, achieve an enjoyole spring, socially, at Beta. The Clambake/ uau was successfu l, due to the returning

he Beta Theta Pi/Fall 1985

alumni, and it was nice to see such a good turn-out for Parent's Weekend. As the Hacienda ended the spring socia l ca lendar, Gregg already had begun to prepare for a great fall.

Once again Alpha Upsilon took an avid part in intramural activities. It placed high in events such as volleyball and track-and-field , and a frustrating championship game in soccer was lost in overtime. Overall placem e nt was in the top-ten, and most of the best athletes will be returning next year, making first place a realizable goal.

The computer room was put to good us e this spring, and the arriva l of new furniture is anticipated for the fall. Another idea to enhance the beauty of the house is a landscape renovation plan which is being drawn up for possible implementation in the coming year.

As easily can be seen, A lpha Upsilon continues to grow, and any ideas or comments are welcomed by the actives as they strive for excellence and hence widen the fame of Beta Theta Pi. They also hop e to see many alumni and their guests walk through " Wooglin's doors" and enjoy the good times ahead. (Joseph P. Kubera, '85 , Corresponding Secre tary)

RUTGERS

The Beta Gamma chapter completed another successful semester this spring. Our activities were highlighted with the initiation of 12 n ew brothers, competition in intramural sports and our ninth annual Kai High Weekend .

After a fine rush conducted by Brian Kassoy , '86, we pledged 12 young men who proved to be worthy of brothers in Beta Theta Pi. Although low in numbers, the pledge class was high in qualit y and has proved to be a strong addition to the brotherhood. Much of the pledges' success can be attributed to the guidance of the Pledge Trainers Todd Inl ander , '87, and Bru ce Levin, ' 87. We congratulate the new brothers and thank Brian, Bruce and Todd for their outstanding efforts

As usual , Beta Gamma was not to be taken lightly throughout the interfraternity Keller Cup tournament. Despite dominating wrestling, swimming and softball, we were forc e d

to settle for a second place overall finish in the Keller. For his first plac e finish in the 158 lb. weight class of the wrestling tournament, Gregory Fleishman, ' 85, was named the Rutgers Targum Athlete of the Month for March. With several outstanding athletes returning in the fall, the brothers already have set their sights on winning the Keller Cup next year. Between sports competitions, we wer e able to enjoy many memorable social events throughout the semester, most notably , Kai High Weekend The tropical weekend which has become an annual occurrence includes a formal, two parties and a picnic . This year's picnic saw the return of many alumni, both recent and old. The several fine social events were the result of planning and preparations by Social Chairman Theodore Braggs, ' 86 . Beta Gamma extends many thanks to Eric Knapp , ' 80 , and Daniel Casiero, Jr., ' 86 , for their contributions to the house and brotherhood Also , we express our gratitude to the many alumni for their suppo rt and donations to the hous e. The brothers also congratulate Dr. Charles L. Zukaukas, '43 , on his election to the national board of governors of the American College of Surgeons, as a governorat-large from New jersey.

With newly-elected officers, Beta Gamma anxiously awaits the arrival of the 1985 -86 academi c year. We hope the coming year will see the return of many alumni and their continued support, which will help the chapter to remain strong in the years ahead. (Neelu Sharma, '87, Corresponding Secre tary)

SAN DIEGO STATE

The Epsilon Beta chapter concluded another fine semester, with continued growth and achievement in all areas. The end of the spring semester brought about the initiation of eight fine men. We ' re confident they all will make excellent actives and contribute immediately to the chapter.

As in the past, our academ ic accomplishments surpassed that of all the other fraternities at SDSU. Our overall GPA was one of the best of all campus organizations and was well

The San Diego Stat e Epsilon Beta Chapter's friends include a Little League team, the Beta Pirates

above the all-men's average as it has been since our founding here We are proud of our strong scholastic achievement and have gained recognition by repeatedly placing several members on the Dean ' s List.

An unsurpassed social calendar, under the direction of Social Chairman jeffrey Hanle, '86, left no dull moments . Perhaps the most memorable event of the semester was the first annual Lake Mohave houseboat trip to Nevada which saw us water skiing, boating, swimming , fishing and sunning over spring break Other events included functions with the Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Delta and Delta Gamma sororities, the Spring Cocktail Party, numerous functions with our Little Sisters and the annual Spring Formal.

Our interfraternity athletic program continued to dominate this semester. The basketball team swept most of its opponents on the way to an excellent winning season, and the softball team rolled into the playoffs, after clinching the division undefeated, but bowed out in the semifina ls in a heart-breaking upset. Competing against houses much larger in size, the success of our chapter has been remarkable as we have been ranked in the top-five of 18 fraternities throughout the year.

Philanthropic events always have been a top priority for the Epsilon Beta chapter and this semester has been no exception. We participated in a 30 kilometer Walk for Mankind, donated our services to St. Vincents Mission, and sponsored the Beta Pirates, a San Diego area Little League team.

The conclusion of the semester brought about the election of new officers: Leif M. Jonassen, '85, president ; jeffrey T. Han le, '86, vice president; Sean F. Leslie, ' 85 , secretary of the cabinet; Ned W. Brines, '85, treasurer; Daniel ] Lykken, '86, corresponding secretary; Craig T. Willis, '86, recording secretary; David B. Horn, '86, house manager; William A. McClymonds, '87, pledge trainer; Adam T. Sadeg, '88, member at large We feel that these new officers will point us toward continued success and our overall objective of capturing the Dean's Trophy.

Epsilon Beta thanks the San Diego Alumni Association for its support and Joseph (Shep) Aparicio, USC ' 55, for donating to us a fantastic new banner.

The 1984-85 school year was a great one for the Epsilon Beta chapter. We continue to grow stronger and anxiously await the fall semester. Congratulations to all the Beta graduates and good luck in your future endeavors.

(Craig T . Willis, ' 86, Corresponding Secretary)

SOUTH DAKOTA

The men of the Gamma Alpha chapter are faced with possibly the most important rush in their 73 year old history. Because declining enrollment at The University of South Dakota is not expected to change , many pledges are needed in order to get by the dry spell of possible Beta candidates. But, Gamma Alpha is ready.

A great summer rush program is being planned by Rush Chairman Donald Karrer ' 86 A colorful, picture-filled pamphlet will issued to all incoming male freshmen. In admany parties are to be hosted by alumm m the area All of this to encourage every young man to "GO BETA!" Just how rush will turn out, it's too early to tell. But the men experiencing rush will be impressed greatly with the men of Gamma Alpha

Substantial improvements were made both in and outside of the house Thanks to aiumni

in the second annual Founder ' s Fund Drive, led by Mark Vaske, '86 , substantial monetary gains were made in attempting to improve the house. Although the drive fell short of its goal, the alumni corporation pulled us through. It allocated enough money to provide the necessary boost The improvements include new furniture for the living room , new carpeting, and new tile for the basement. In addition, a sand volleyball court was installed in the backyard. New trees also were planted.

Another improvement at Gamma Alpha has been in the scholastic department. Under the direction of Christopher Langholz , '85 , many gains were made. Last spring, we jumped from eighth place, scholastically, among fraternities to fourth place. This was due to new study rules and quiet hours in the house.

The brothers, teamed with the women of Alpha Xi Delta, successfully captured first place in the annual Stroller's show. This was the second straight year that the men of Gamma Alpha have captured this prestigious prize.

So, as one can see, an individual going through rush would be hard pressed to join anywhere but the Beta house. Our financial position is strong and the only problem facing the men of Gamma Alpha is when to draw the line at the number of pledges allowed in. A problem whose time finally has come to this outstanding chapter of Beta Theta Pi (Michael Long, '88, Corresponding Secretary)

STEVENS

The spring semester ended with farewells to our graduating seniors. Good-bye and good luck to Steven Davis, Stephen Heck, Anthony Mazzucco, james Muir and Joseph Schengrund You have left your marks on our house (in more ways than one), and we'll miss you.

As the seniors were leaving, they extended congratulations to our 10 newly-initiated brothers.

Other activities this semester included much needed repairs on our house. Repairing doors, repainting the kitchen and basement , and rebuilding some of the walls downstairs were all needed to help us pass an inspection We a lso obtained some new furniture, thanks to Pledge Kyle Van Dyke and his roommate. Finally, Urchen War '85 , a scuffle between the locals and the Stevens fraternities, was stopped by a show of interfraternity cooperation.

In sports, we finished with second place in bombardment, tennis and softball, under our inspirational sports chairman, Frederic (Magella) Covita, '86. Not quite enough to place in the IFC All-Sports, but wait till next year (that's what we said last year, too). For the summer, we still will be together playing for the softball team of William (Snip) Campbell, '85 , on Sundays in Ramsey. (Pieter Einthoven, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

TENNESSEE

Spring quarter has been busy for Delta Kappa chapter. Along with the initiation of four fine men, our rushing efforts brought us five enthusiastic pledges. This may appear to be a small number, yet in comparison to other fraternities on campus it is good. We are extremely happy about the way things have been going and are looking forward to greater accomplishments in the future.

TEXAS-ARLINGTON

The brothers of Delta Rho have enjoyed a se mester of prosperity and progress in all re spects, and are anticipating an even mofl successful summer and fall semester. ·

Our recently-revamped scholarship pro· g_ram's success was evidenced by the recogni lion of Delta Rho as having the highest overall grade pomt average among 14 fraternities al

s of Delta Rho at Texas-Arlington, along with some girl friends, show off their Betamobile II.

University of Texas at Arlington. The point average of a 2.5 required by all of Beta Theta Pi only complemented achievement and brought great notice our Interfraternity Council. in intramural athletics conduring spring semester with enjoyable sketball and volleyball seasons, and peaked the softball season. Delta Rho 's softball put forth a gallant effort, surpassing all ous efforts and narrowly missed the by one game. Unfortunately, the skill of our softball team was not equate to overcome the accurate batting d questionable tactics of our alumni during r annual active/alumni softball game, and the alumni were victorious the interest of fun and transportation, we resurrected an old tradition-the mobile. With the collective skills of our others and a donated '72 Buick station wagl, we created our chapter ' s second ;tamobile Slightly modified to our tastes, is car strikes envy into the hearts of many those outside the Beta pale , and is also a functional fraternity car used to transrt our brothers around during social, athletand other events. The Betamobile II is also with the local sororities. ...,,,._ ,uv, the men of Delta Rho have made a impressive showing this spring. Due to a Delt kidnap and a mixer with the Phi and coupled with increased involvein many campus activities, as well as 1proved Greek relations, much notice is beg made of the Delta Rho of Beta Theta Pi. Spring rush paid off with three fine men ho will be excellent additions to the roll of ta Rho. The success throughout our spring was due mainly to the effort of our Jtable officers, Bryan Corser, '85, president; Bourland, '86, vice president; and Harris, '87, social chairman. Elections jo the summer and fall semester resulted in iesident Ralph Kinder, '87; Vice President ihn Harris, '87; Pledge Trainer Carmen

he Beta Theta Pi/Fallt985

Senese, '86; Secretary Bobby Deaton, '90 ; Treasurer Steven Fiore, '89; Sergeant at Arms G. Travis Lile, ' 86 ; and Alumni Secretary Robert Simmons, '89.

The brothers are embarking, this summer, on the larg est summer rush ever in the history of our chapter. Based on a computer data base we developed specifically for a rush mass mailing program , our chapter should be launched into the first place slot during the fall rush.

Due to the momentum Delta Rho has been gaining, and coupled with the strong leadership and growing resources of our chapter, we foresee a bright summer and fall semester.

(Bobby C. Deaton, '90, Secretary)

TORONTO

The Beta Gryphons have arrived! As sponsoring chapter of Canada's newest co lony of Beta Theta Pi, we are proud to have on our rolls 21 fine men of two pledge classes at Guelph. As fraternal life n ever before has existed at the University of Guelph, Beta is making unprecedented gains for fraternities all. In this regard, Bryan Vandenberg, '86, has been instrumental as liaison between Guelph and Toronto.

Meanwhile in Toronto, Theta Zeta now has 29 active members with the old guard, Paul Surtel, '85, Damian McNamee, '85, and Ellery Dykeman, '85 having become the recent alumni. Their spirit and wisdom will be missed but we wish them the best.

A summer planning retreat is scheduled for july to clarify our goals and the means to obtain them in '85-'86. In the fall , the chapter will be ably directed by President john Comery, '86, VP Steven Borbash, ' 86, Treasurer Bradley Scharfe, '86, and Corresponding Secretary Douglas Skeffington, '88. Helping the chapter in newly-appointed positions are Fabio Morettin, '84, and Ray Kanopka as chapter counselor and financial advisor, respectively

Heading down to the General Convention, as our delegate, will be Pledge Michael Fleming who, incidently, along with Pledge Tony (Sluggo) Sluga have been busy as the house brew meisters The first batch should be ready in july and inevitably will be going public at our first party in the fall. If the Freddy Fudpucker is any indication of the popularity of our beverages, the Beta brew should be a smash .

This year the alumni presence notably was visible. Besides all those who attended the Dorg and Formal, it was good to see Gerald Shier, '50, R. Keith Porter, British Columbia '42, and Alan Banfield, '50, drop by to visit. Alumni concern for the condition of the house especially has been expressed by the house corporation . We welcome alumni just to drop by and look around and, of course, their support for the house renovations is appreciated. (Douglas Skeffington, '88, Corresponding Secretary)

UNION

The winter and spring trimesters have been productive ones for Nu c hapt er. With the guidance of new District Chief Carl Tinstman III , Case/Miami '67, and Administrative Assistant Douglas G Stewart, Virginia Tech ' 83, the chapter has established several ambitious goals and changes.

Among them, the drafting of our Constitution and By-Laws was undertaken by eight enthusiastic brothers. We are happy to announce that Professor Robert Sharlet, a world-renowned expert on Soviet Affairs, has become our new faculty advisor. Congratulations go to Donald (Bart) Lehmann, '87, and Richard Savitt, '86, as the first incumbents of our newly-enacted office of scholarship chairmen. The establishment of the office of alumni secretary has been admirably filled by john Cooney, '86.

Spearheading our efforts to establish an active alumni association, john coordinated the first of what will be an annual spring Alumni Weekend. Included in this affair was a golf tournament and cocktail party. The brothers were disappointed by the sparse turnout, yet refuse to be discouraged. Plans have been finalized for next fall's fundraising Phone-AThan , which we hope will contribute to much -needed house renovation . We also hope to see a large turnout for Homecoming Weekend on Oct. 25-27.

In addition to these efforts, Betas continued · to be active in other aspects of campus life. In responding to the academic rigors, the chapter has shown tremendous improvement-our efforts bringing us from 15th of 16 fraternities to 5th highest in G P A last term.

Athletically , Betas continue to perform in outstanding fashion in intercollegiate competition. Bart Lehmann was named the ski team's most improved performer. The baseball team benefited from the efforts of Steven Alves, '87, who earned Athlete-of-the-Week honors and Alexander Rita, '87, was named to the Division III Eastern All-Star Team. In addition, next year's lacrosse team will be captained by Andrew Ross, ' 87.

Our involvement also is seen in the IFC as Daniel Rabinovitz , '86, was named vice president. As chapter treasurer , Dan has continued to improve our financial standing, enabling us to obtain a long-needed house insurance policy Community involvement also has continued as Union Betas participated in the IFC softball tournament fundraiser for the Mount

Pleasant Boy's Club and the Delta Gamma Olympics for the blind.

This has been an eventful year and we look to next year with much optimism (Andrew Ross, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

UTAH

One thing is true as Gamma Beta chapter enters its ' 85' 86 school year. There ' s a lot of hope for the new year, but a lot to top from the old. "There's no question many things were accomplished last year It's our job now to maintain the excellence we have established for next year , " said james Tutwiler, '86, the newly-elected president. It will be Tutwiler and his slate of officers who lead the chapter for the bulk of the coming academic year.

Last autumn, the first dry rush in the history of the University of Utah produced 32 fall pledges, 21 of whom went active in january. A spring pledge class of 10 went active in May, giving Gamma Beta 31 new members on the chapter roll.

But that wasn't all. Returning to form for the first time in years , Beta Theta Pi placed first in last fall's University of Utah Homecoming overall competition, one of the more impressive accomplishments for one of the campus ' leading houses.

More seriously, and even more impressively, Gamma Beta finished the winter quarter of 1985 with the highest grade point average of any fraternity at the University of Utah. The accomplishment is all the more outstanding when it is noted that Betas at Utah take more credit hours than any other house on campus.

Gamma Beta further pressed ahead with vast improvements to the house itself, including a stereo system hookup, massive repainting and limited, but needed remodeling in certain areas of the building. The house is under the direction of Vice President Ski Hottinger , '87, for the upcoming year.

Socially, the spring months were marked by both a rollicking ski trip to Sun Valley , Ida., with sisters of Delta Gamma as guests, and the annual pilgrimage to St. George, Utah for the Spring Formal in May.

At the formal , next year's Beta Bag-Delta Gamma sister, Stacy White - was announced Derek Mattsson, '87, is at the helm of the so: cia! program for the house as it heads into '85-'86.

Gamma Beta also tried a social outing of a different type in April, a gathering for the neighboring residents of the chapter house. The top1c was a peaceful coexistence among all parties, and results were positive

The chapter got another boost in late February , when Ned Stringham , '86, was elected Student Body president. Stringham took his new office, officially , in April and will serve for most of '85-'86. He is the third Beta in the past four years to hold the office

Finally, following the record rush turnout for fraternities and sororities on campus last year , Gamma Beta is expecting a good rush in '85- ' 86, under the direction of Rush Chairmen David Moreton , '87 , and jerome Bowen, ' 86 The pledges to evolve will be under the direction of Pledge Trainers F D. Blade Branham '86, and Anthony George, '86, both of were responsible primarily for last spring ' s successful pledge class.

All i.n all, a lot done. But a lot more to do. So, w1th the help of our alumni, who have prov1ded unyielding support, the chapter gets ready to stand behind Tutwiler and his men as they move on to even greater heights in

'85-'86. Anything is within our grasp now (John Youngren, ' 87 Secretary)

VANDERBILT

Looking ahead to the fall semester of '85 , Beta Lambda is enthusiastic about the upcoming rush rounds. Since we can only pledge sophomores in the fall, our rush chairmen , jonathan Weiner, '87, and Thomas Crosby, '87, have · been busy rushing men who did not pledge in their freshman year. Last spring's pledge class of rising sophomores served to be a strong force in attracting many good prospects from their own class through Beta Pub Nights and having people over for dinner at our beautifully-renovated chapter house. Some of our strong points in attracting pledges are the diversity of our actives, strong bonds of brotherhood and a great looking chapter house inside and out. As always, we welcome any and all recommendations that you have, so please let us know of any good prospects.

With the establishment of a 2.5 academic requirement for all active chapters, we at Beta Lambda are making a strong effort toward increased academic excellence for both the good of Beta Theta Pi and for ourselves. At present, we have actives from all four schools - Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Peabody and Nursing. There seems to be a refreshing change in attitude here toward greater academic awareness and stronger leadership. I firmly believe that Beta Lambda is making a turn for the better We have an enthusiastic group of officers who are highlymotivated to do as good a job as can be done and, with a strong fall pledge class, we will be on the road to another 100 years of excellence on the Vanderbilt University campus.

Congratulations and best wishes for the future go to graduating seniors , David Axelson, Donald Fawcett, William Tippins and Kirk Pickering We are sad to see them go but delight in the memory of their contributions to Lambda. Our loss in graduating seniors IS also our gain in Beta alumni!

Alumni should receive our second newslet-

ter, The Beta Lambda Update, this summ Thank you all for your increased monet< support in this program. We would love to f the newsletter become a tradition and seems like there is great potential for this happen. Greater understanding between can be achieved through steady communi( tion of this sort.

;WAS HINGTON (ST. LOUIS)

other semester has ended for the Alpha a chapter. The chapter has worked dililtly at improving its image and status at the during the past academic year. AI-

though there were some rough waves along the way, we also accomplished some rather worthy endeavors .

Among many accomplishments, most noteworthy was the task of renovating the house. In january, under the direction of Michael King, '87, the brothers joined together and gave the ·castle Beta" a new look as the three floors and dining area were scrubbed down and repainted With persistence, in a job with few rewards , Treasurer john Meehan , ' 87 , was able to put the squeeze on and thus remove our " national debt." The chapter also held on to its intramural dominance by winning the cup for the second year in a row.

Finally , our greatest accomplishment of the past semester was the initiation of 10 new members to the roll of Alpha Iota Rush Chairmen Christopher Gaffney, '87, and Carl Raven, '87, ended their season 10 for 10, and Pledge Instructor Adam Helman , '85, brought forth these 10 into the brotherhood. During Help Weekend , the pledges and actives joined in the construction of wooden benches for use i n the front of the house These will replace the more comfortable indoor models of the past.

Congratulations are in order for Harold W. Duke, '59 , for being selected as our new District Chief. We also wish the graduating seniors good luck and fortune in their quests for financial stability in the real world, and to thank all the brothers for a great year for Alpha Iota

Under the guidance of President james Monafo , '85, and Vice President Michael Pfluger, '86, the chapter has begun efforts to mend "old wounds " with the alumni, and has tried to span the gap that has separated and perhaps even alienated some alumni. We do hope for more improvement and wish that more brothers would visit the house and see the changes that have taken place With open minds, I believe the future can be bright-we don't claim sainthood , only brotherhood.

WASHINGTON & JEFFERSON

This past year , Gamma chapter has shown a dramatic change for the better Although our past record has not shown much promise , our current standing is impeccable. Four years ago, Gamma was in serious trouble. Our numbers were down to 11 or 12 members and we were struggling to maintain minimal organizational sk ill s. Added to this trouble was our possible suspension from the General Fraternity . I am proud to say that, currently, Gamma chapter is in excellent condition. We have a membership that exceeds 30, and many new facets of administration have been added that have proven successful.

The most important of these additions has been the recent development of an alumni association. Spearheaded by William Hamilton , '40, this association endeavors to keep all interested alumni informed about the progress of the chapter It also will pinpoint areas where alumni support is needed most. W Arthur Berta!, Bethany '82, our current District Chief, has given us a lot of help in reviewing and redefining the role of chapter officers. This review of chapter duties has given us a stronger foundation for further growth Also, many improvements have been made in the chapter newsletter to make it more appealing to alumni. Many new offices, dealing with community service, also have evolved

With all these improvements , the chances are good that the chapter will have its suspension removed. I think Gamma's past four years can be used as a good example to other faltering chapters to show what a little effort , and a lot of friendship can do Glad to be a Beta (Martin

WASHINGTON & LEE

The sp ring '85 semester was very successful for the Alpha Rho chapter. We were able to raise over $10,000 in alumni contributions through our Beta Building Fund Drive. This money , combined with a loan from the University, was used to repair the foundation of the house This was a long-needed project and it will keep our basement from flooding and prevent our kitchen from sliding down the hill. We express our gratitude to the alumnni.

Alumni Weekend also proved successful for Alpha Rho Over 70 alums returned to attend the various house parties. In varsity sports, Betas were well-represented with Stephen McGrath, ' 86 , and Robert Stanton , ' 88, on the lacrosse team and L. Kirk Breen , '86, and Wil-

liam Curtiss, '87 , playing for the baseball team. We congratulate our new president, Kirk Breen, who combined with Mark Machonis, '86, to win the artistic talent award.

Fall term should be very strong. We have more memb e rs , going into 1985 rush, than we hav e had in many years at this time. Becaus e of Washington & Lee's change to coeducation this year, our strong membership is very ti':lely as there will be fewer male freshmen gomg through rush. The strength of the chapter should continue through the leadership of the following new officers-Kirk Breen, president; Michael Black, ' 86 , vice president ; David Butler, '85, treasurer; C. Carter Kannapell, '86, secretary; Andrew Putnam, '87, social chairman; Andrew Weinberg, ' 86, rush chairman; and Joseph Vidunas, '86, pledge educator.

The Mu Epsilon chapter began spring semester on a high note with its first annual Alumni Phone-A -Thon. The brothers had a great time traveling to New York City, site of the phonea-than, calling chapter alums and raising some $2 ,000 for restoration of the house

An enthusiastic spring pledge class helped make the third annual Three-Day-Party another major success. Both brothers and pledges kept the house in shape for three days of celebration, including dancing with live music, for the entire Wesleyan community. The party built a special camaraderie between brothers and pledges and created a festive atmosphere that carried through initiation the following weekend.

House officers were elected toward the end of school-Eisso Vander Meulen, '86, president; Oliver Bennett , '87, vice president; Daniel Greenblatt, '87, treasurer ; Andrew Kevy, '87, secretary; and Mark Fawcett, '88, house manager.

An outstanding year was experienced in both academics and intramural athletics, with our brothers giving superb showing in hockey, football and basketball.

Our activities in the field of charity once again were enormous. The brothers organized a bottle drive and flower sale to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis , canvassed for the Heart Fund, and sincerely enjoyed conducting the annual Halloween party for the Children's Home. The climax of the year came in late February when we , along with another fraternity , organized a 1,200 person concert, featuring the band, The Spoons The tremendous effort put forth by all the brothers created a very successful evening, with the concert becoming one of the social highlights of the year at U.

WHITMAN

e brothers of Gamma Zeta have much to rert at the completion of the spring semester. aetas graduating in 1985 left a significant trk upon Whitman in a number of areas. mean Branch, Dean Langsdorf and Andrew ther all were named to Phi Beta Kappa m Livengood received the prestigious Euv ne Marx award for his consistent service to l college throughout his four years. In addin, John Day has been accepted to medical Joo l at the University of Washington. Next ar, Beta's voice on campus promises to be ong through the selection of W. Laird Rols, '86, as editor of the Whitman College Piocr and Peter Allen, '87, as the school's mptroller.

Fhe Betas maintained their strong athletic !lge during second semester this year. Allnerican J. Tyler Milligan, '87, anchored the i team which was dominated by fellow Jt hers Duncan Branch, Allen Dorsey , '86, d Frederick Reinbold, '88. The team raced a seventh place finish at Nationals. The in;mura l basketball team lost in the champiship game after a strong regular season mpaign. Also, the Whitman la crosse team, mprised of no less than 12 Betas, won the cific Northwest Lacrosse Association ColChampionship. Coached by Stephen '85, the season was further highlighted the naming of Darryk Barlow, '85, John vengood, Geoffrey Wood, ' 87, and Jeffrey '87, to the Washington State All-Star :am.

On a more serious note, John Shinner, '86, esident of the Whitman Int erfraternity Juncil, was able to uphold the fraternity's !ditiona l control of rush week following a

lengthy debate with the administration. We encourage alumni support to keep the integrity of !he Gr eek system at Whitman during this ongomg d1lemma (especially yours, Daniel O'Reilly, '38)

Gamma Zeta looks forward to next year's rush, and a continuing strong Beta tradition at ,with the election of James Bonmchsen, 86, as president and Brian Nash, '86, as rush chairman. (Robert Davidson, '87, Secretary)

WICHITA STATE

The men of Delta Gamma have closed yet another year in the history of our chapter. This, the 25th year of the house at Wichita State was a bit more special than most. We achieved many important goals throughout the entire year, but the most treasured were gathered during the spring semester.

Hippodrome, a week of Greek festival culminated by a stage and follies competition pitted the Betas and the women of Delta Gam: rna Sorority against four other fraternity-sorority combinations. Through the fantastic work of Director David Lawrence, '86, and many others, our show swept five out of nine of the judging categories. Consequently, we received the prestigious (gaudy), six foot tall trophy for winning performance, awarded by the Students Activities Council.

At the annual convocation of Greek organion campus, the chapter was recogmzed m many areas. The Betas remained the champions by gaining the Intramural AllSports Trophy for the third consecutive year We were selected for the Alpha Chi "Best Fraternity" award, presented by the Panhellenic Society at WSU. The chapter earned a very close second place in the scholarship co mpetition. Three members of the house were recognized by the Order of Omega, a society comprising the top three percent of the Greek population on campus as determined by the society. Mark Bolar, '86 , was admitted to the group, Tracy Elliott, '87, was elected secretary/treasurer, and James Zielke, '86, was elected president. Also, the Big Brothers and Big Sisters corporation gave us first award for our philanthropy to the non-profit group

At the time of this printing, a second alumni report will have been distributed through the efforts of Brian Wells, '87. This report will include a description of the first annual Alumni/Active Golf Tournament to be held lat er this summer.

This semester, we educated a large and successful pledge class numbering 11. Rush Chairmen M Douglas Stover, ' 86 , and J. Edward Doerr, '87, are planning a summer filled with parties and rushee/active get-togethers. They anticipate an extremely strong pledge class for the fall semester.

Finally, the chapter actively is pursuing money-making projects to upgrade the present house structure and increase the actual size of the house

We hope all our plans and the efforts of the fraternity, as a whole, will be realized in the fashion of excellence that has been our longstanding tradition. (Patrick Johnson , '87, Corresponding Secretary)

WILLAMETTE

The spring semester turned out to be highly productive for the house, under the guidance of President David Babcock, '86 We initiated 18 men into the Beta fold, all of them proud to

wear the Beta badge. Participating in the ceremony was a proud Beta father, Melvin R. Melin , Washington State '62, helping to initiate his son, Barry, '88.

The house, once again, has been one of international movement. Two of our spring pledges are citizens of Japan and five chapter members were on exchange programs. We will be very happy to see them all return this fall

The social calendar was filled by Chairman Todd Jones, '86, and included events such as a _ho use dance to the Oregon Coast, along w_1th the popular sorority exchanges. The h1ghhght of the year was once again The Telethon for Fun. Various acts from all over campus participated , providing some of the best entertainment the campus has seen this year.

A proud accomplishment for th e brothers has been the sponsoring of a foster child. Her name is Angelica Alecia from Bolivia. Through our contributions, we are able to her and allow Angelica the opportumty to rece1ve a proper education.

The capping event of the year was a reunion of our founding lo ca l fraternity, Kappa Gamma Rho. Through the efforts of Robert Blanding , '42, and alumni relations officer Todd Jones, we were able to host over 50 Kap: pas and th eir wives. The two-night long event was filled with history, memory and song. The reumon was an excellent opportunity for the undergraduates to see first hand the history of the chapter, and for the alumni to see how the chapter is progressing. The only disappointment was that there were not more alums in attendance

Scholasti ca lly, we have remained at an average of 3.0, and are optimistic that we will once again, be number one on campus. Ou; chance for first place in intramurals again was halted , but we did manage to come in a close second and, already, we are preparing for next year.

As always, there is an open invitation for all Betas traveling through to stop by! (Keith Miller, '86)

WISCONSIN

The spr in g semester came to a close at the Alpha Pi chapter with the initiation of eight quality young men This brings our roll number to 1760. One of the highlights of spring, as usual, was the Beta Formal. This year, it was held at the Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee and a ll in attendance had a wonderful time.

The new administration, under the direction of Thomas Halquist, '86, along with the housing corporation, is looking to make a number of house improvements before the fall semester begins These improvements include new furniture and drapes for the living and T V. rooms, storm windows for the entire house and a new stove, in an effort to get a cook back at the house after a year of catering

The Badger Bowl sports competition was again a disappointing experience for the brothers. With some poor performances and the elim ination of swimming, a perennially strong event, the Badger Bowl eluded us. This fall , the house will be bursting at its seams as 39 Betas will be living in and the sports story is sure to change.

Homecoming will be Saturday, Nov. 2 , versus Indiana. We hope all Alpha Pi alumni will return to reminisce and watch the Badgers beat the Hoosiers.

guished by grace, wit, scholarly perception and unfailing social integrity." He was so esteemed by San Francisco Bay Area critics that they established a Paine Knickerbocker Award, which is presented annually for creative excellence in the theater.

Born in New York City on March 16, 1912, Paine (he rarely used his first name) spent four years in advertising business there following graduation from Dartmouth. He then went west and after a stint as reporter for the Portland · Oregonian, he obtained a MA from the University of California-Berkeley. After brief service as assistant dean at Mills College, he en listed in the navy and served in the Pacific during World War II as an inte_lligence

Joining the Oakland Tnbune followmg the war as a reporter, he covered the trial of Tokyo Rose. He shortly thereafter joined the staff of the Chronicle , where he not only gained a reputation as a writer but for sartorial elegance In a profession that oftentimes bred sloppy dress, Paine was seen with a homburg, excellently-tailored su its and foulard handkerchief in the breast pockets.

Primarily, according to Chronicle architectural critic Alan Temko, Knickerbocker was known for his insight and fairness in his reviews as well as a powerful force in advancing the cause of the theater in San Francisco. He played a major role in bringing the American Conservatory Theater to the city from Pittsbur gh, Penn . He also participated in numerous forums, alone as well as with famed stars and directors, in order to give broader recognition by the public to serious issues in theater and cinema.

G. William Gahagan, Dartmouth '35, writer, collector and the nation's most enthusiastic booster of poet Robert Frost (The Beta Theta Pi, Fall 1978). tells of being rushed by and pledging Beta because of Paine Knickerbocker. He also lived with him for one year before they were each "best man" at the other's wedding.

Gahagan describes a memorial tribute attended by actors, critics and others, held in San Francisco's Geary Theater, as memorable "W.hen we were through our program, there was a standing ovation for Knick that lasted 10 minutes. We will scatter Knick's ashes out in the Bay here on some beautiful everting soon."-J.R .M.

Greetings, fellow Betas, from the men of Alpha Gamma chapter. As we prepare for the new academic year, we find ourselves looking back upon the trials and achievements of 1984-'85 .

Alumni support improved slowly but steadily through such activities as our chapter newsletter , The Dragon's Lair, a winter phone drive, and the first annual Alpha Gamma Golf Outing, which saw a very good turnout despite rainy weather. David Blankenburg , '85, aided the chapter by writing a computer file in which alumni names , addresses and personal information will be maintained

Treasurer Michael Bolduc, '86, made great progress toward improving the chapter's financial state House improvements continued with the installation of a second sink in the kitchen, and the laying of railroad ties in our back yard, greatly improving the appearance of the house exterior We express our gratitude for the alumni support which made these and other renovations possible.

Great difficulties arose when the fire marshal called for many expensive changes in the house spring term. The installation of a complete alarm system, extensive rewiring and numerous small alterations were required Problems with our kitchen also continued to plague us. It is our hope that we can continue to meet such challenges with hard work and the support of our alumni. We encourage area alumni to visit the house; see both our problems, and the work that has been done, and meet the brothers. We do ask that you call first so that we can offer you our full hospitality

It is with mixed emotions that we bid farewell to our class of '85 . We wish you well, brothers, and are happy for you, but we shall miss your friendship and spirit. May Wooglin smile upon your every endeavor. Stay in touch .

We look forward to the coming year, and hope to continue our steady progress in the strong fraternal bond that is Beta Theta Pi. (Frederick J. Kunde, '86, Corresponding Secretary)

A Legacy to a Legacy Gentlemen :

I am pleased to enclose my check for Beta Leadership Fund.

My son, John F. Kuhlman, was initiated Feb 19 , 1984, Alpha Nu chapter, Univer: of Kansas. I was present on that date and i sented him with my pin from Alpha D1 chapter, Feb. 15, 1958.

I also presented John with a poem for occasion and he thought I should send it you for whatever interest it may have. Act is enclosed

You may also want to know that my dau ter , Elizabeth, graduated May 13, 1984, fr Miami. John and I had our picture taken front of the campanile as our daughter's roo was in nearby Ogden Hall. Also, John wa Sophomore Fellow and attended his first co vention this past summer. I hope to atte with him at Mackinac Island and Oxford c• ventions in the future.

Keep up the good work.

Yours in - kaiJack F. Kuhlman Hinsdale , Ill Westminster '61

Energetic Charlie Lynch

Took Sagging Saga Corp. To Billion Dollar Mark In a Short Six Years

by John R. (Jack) McClung, Kansas State '37 Editor

Fortune Magazine called him the "dean of college cuisine (who) wowed Wall Street." Business Week dubbed him a "corporate rejuvenator" and put him on its 1985 list of the "New Corporate Elite." Closer to home, the San Mateo (Calif.) Times said he ' d be the model "if Hollywood wanted to cast the perfect corporate leader."

The man they're all talking about is Charles A. Lynch, Yale '50, the tall, trim, energetic Beta from Menlo Park, Calif. who looks like he might once have been captain of the college tennis team-and was. Currently, he spends about 12 hours a day tending shop as chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Saga Corporation, the nation's largest operator of college dining halls, a supplier of food service for hospitals and corporate dining rooms, and now a force to be reckoned with on restaurant row.

Started with College Cafeteria

The company began in 1948 when three students took over and profitably ran the cafeteria at Hobart College in Geneva, N.Y. After graduation, those founders began selling contracts to operate college dining rooms elsewhere and before long, were a viable, booming na-

tionwide company headquartered in Palo Alto, Calif. (later moving to next door Menlo Park). By the late 1970's, the three founders sagaciously (no pun intended) realized they would benefit from professional management. Though they were No. 1 in their field, they were involved in other interests and stuck with fixed price contracts with colleges and hospitals in a time of rapidly mounting food costs. Furthermore, the last of the "baby boom" students were in college

In Saga's Restaurant Division is the popular chain of approximately 120 Stuart Anderson's Black Angus /Cattle Company restaurants found in West e rn and Midwestern state s and a west e rn province of Canada. California ' s Velvet Turtle restaurants are also owned by Saga

In 1978 the Saga search turned t Charles Lynch, an executive vice dent with W. R. Grace & Co. who ha been in charge of retail specialty bm nesses and food chains.

At Menlo Park, Brother Lynch lost n time He updated the accounting systen reduced the staff, reorganized the d• partmental system, spun off a margin; restaurant chain, hedged on the con modity market to protect against futUI food prices, renegotiated service an supplier contracts, and set up new en ployee training and development pn grams.

Lynch has variously been called detailed, approachable, dynamic, dec sive and charismatic. But whatever hi attributes, he ' s certainly proved a resul getter.

Col. Lyle Brookover Records Unique Life in New Autobiography

by John R. (Jack) McClung, Jr. Editor

It's not everybody who's shaken hands with seven U.S. presidents and known nine first ladies, been on speaking terms with the Duke of Wind· sor who abdicated the throne, covered as a reporter Charles Lindbergh on his triumphal return from Paris, dated numerous ladies known in America's high society, and served as an air force officer, a news reporter and in the avante garde of talked-about "PR" (Press Relations) profession.

If you have been at a Beta General Convention in the last decade or remember an article in the June 1977 issue of The Beta Theta Pi concerning a man who lived over half a century here and abroad in a world of celebrities but said his greatest thrill was being initiated a Beta, then , you'll know we're talking about Col. Lyle A. Brookover, Bethany '22 .

In that 1977 article, Brother Brookover told of being a Beta pledge in 1918, but being unable to return to school after Christmas due to financial reasons. In the 55 years of glamorous life to follow, he always felt a void which was filled in 1974 when Beta's Board of Trustees gave permission to the Bethany chapter to initiate him. His constant attendance at Beta conventions since have given credence to his declaration at the time that this was his "greatest thrill."

Leo Africanus Publications of Washington, D.C. this year published Time and Tide, a paperback 205 page autobiography of Lyle Addison Brookover, which details all those years. Its subhead reads "A story about the field of public relations in the United States from the Col Lyle A.

Twenties through the Sixties: a participant's perspective." In it, Brother Brookover proves what he most candidly admits-he's one of the world's foremost namedroppers. It's a virtual guidebook to names in the headlines, particularly in the first several decades of that era. But it's rather fascinating how his journalistic, advertising, public relations or social life seemed to lead him into personal contact with people making the news. His vocation, of course, was a major reason but a strong second explanation was that he never married and apparently was that tall, handsome colonel with an interesting avocation and a gift of gab whom hostesses latched on to escort the prominent VIP ladies from the political, society, sports, musical, theatrical or business world who came to town

The book, an chronological diary with names, places and personal observations on the people and events mentioned, even includes mention of Beta Theta Pi and some familiar Beta names in the latter pages. Brother Brookover is no kid-he's been alive and kicking since 1903-but he still has an easy way with words.

Betas who might be interested may purchase a copy of the book by sending a check for $11.00 (the cover price is $20, but it's $10 plus $1.00 shipping and handling to the Colonel's friends) to Lyle A. Brookover, 6251 Old Dominion Drive , McLean, Va. 22101.

Beta's 11 Colonies

(Continued from page 3)

The four full colonies, which have been publicized previously, are at Central Michigan University, which now has 25 members; University of Georgia, with 29 members and, who this year won the campus Greek honorary Order of Omega as "fraternity of the year"; Middle Tennessee State University, 2530 members now buying a new home; and California Polytechnic Institute, 27 members.

Other data on the colonies, including contacts, advisors and addresses, is found in the "Help Wanted" section on page .-J. R. M.

Andy Prentice Joins Beta Administrative Staff; Chuck Helman "Retires"

Andrew J. Prentice, Michigan State '85, who has had an outstanding undergraduate career, has joined the headquarters staff at Oxford, Ohio as an Administrative Assistant. Andy fills a staff vacancy created as the result of the resignation of Senior Administrative Assistant Charles J. "Chuck" Helman, Ohio '82, who has left effective this August in order to further his academic credentials.

Graduating this past June, Brother Prentice has served his chapter in a number of roles including liaison for the Central Michigan University Colony as well as vice president and president. He has also been involved in numerous campus activities including co-chairman of Greek Week and has been honored by election to the Order of Omega. He has also been volunteer and coordinator of the MSU Special Olympics. In community involvement, he has worked extensively on a number of state and local political campaigns and has served as a page in both the Michigan House of Representatives and the Senate.

Andy will report directly to Administrative Secretary Thomas A. Beyer, Nebraska '80 , and work with Administrative Assistants C. Gilmore Dutton, III, Centre '83, and Douglas G. Stewart, Virginia Tech '83. Brother Helman, who was married in June, will this fall pursue a master's degree at Miami University where he has received a graduate assistanceship in the office of Admissions.

tion. Your Editor has written about him in the Magazine more than once, printed articles under his name, and corresponded with him frequently So how come we wrote the caption giving credit to "Harrison T Fetridge"? We'll never know. We do apologize. And by the way, he says he has a few extra copies of the drawing if any Beta wants one. You can write him c/o Dartnell at 4660 Ravenswood Ave., Chicago , IL 60640.

Florida State Rebound (Continued

from page 3)

Prior to the initiation, Florida and Auburn officers conducted leadership and rushing workshops for the new brothers. The joint participation by two districts and four chapters of the General Fraternity provided one of the treasured lifetime experiences for the new Beta brothers.

The FSU chapter members returned to Tallahassee with abounding enthusiasm. They held their first meeting as brothers the same night, and made concrete plans for fall rushing, and for assuming responsibility for managing and maintaining their newly-acquired fraternity house. They set a goal of having at least 20 brothers and pledges at the General Convention in Boca Raton

In retrospect, it is amazing what was accomplished in such a short period of time, less than a semester. The goals attained were realized through the combined efforts of the General Fraternity and its representatives, the involvement of area alumni and active Florida Betas, and the Florida, Auburn and Georgia Tech chapters for providing a m e morable training and initiation experience.

Delta Lambda at Florida State is dedicated to continuing its record setting pace in the future, and fulfilling the expectations of all of those who worked together to make it possible.

"The altar's light burns as bright tonight as e'er it burned of yore."

Chuck Helman's eventful summer included a formal wedding to Jennifer Morris, daughter of Charles H. Morris, Wittenberg '58 . Ushers included Admin. Secy. Tom Beyer, Admin Asst. Doug Stewart and District Chief Jeff Radomski

IRS Approves Plan Enabling Tax-Deductible Contributions To Beta Theta Pi Founders Fund to Support ! Local Chapter Scholarships and Mortgage Loans!

NOW you can help your chapter directly with your contribution to the Beta Theta Pi Founder's Fund.

Beta Theta Pi has received approval from the Internal Revenue Service to set up a local chapter fund program within the Founder's Fund. Here's how it works

1. Your tax deductible contribution is made to the "Founders Fund" and with your contribution you may designate it as a gift to your chapter's fund within the Founders Fund.

2. The accumulated monies within your chapter's fund share in the investment performance of the Founders Fund

3 A mortgage loan can be made from your chapter's fund within the Founders Fund to your chapter's house corporation for chapter house renovation, repair, refurbishing , etc.

4 Scholarships will then be awarded to undergraduates at your chapter based on the revenue generated by your chapter's fund within the Founders Fund from both mortgage loans and other investments. Guidelines for the scholarship program are set by the Board of Trustees.

5 The management of the Founders Fund and the individual chapter funds within the Founders Fund remains with the Founders Fund Trustees.

Tax-deductible gifts to the Founders Fund may be made in a variety of ways, including

• Cash or securities made payable to the Founders Fund of Beta Theta Pi

• Will or trust agreement designating the Founders Fund as beneficiary

• Life insurance with the Founders Fund as beneficiary (the annual premium may be tax-deductible. Please consult with your tax advisor)

• Meip.orial for a living or deceased Beta

• A fund to provide annual scholarships

In each case described immediately above, your gift may be designated to be included in a specific chapter ' s fund within the Founders Fund or it may be designated to be included in a already established scholarship fund within the Founders Fund.

This program is one on which your chapter can't afford to miss out! To build a better future for your chapter , would you help out? For full information, contact the Founder 's Fund Trustees, c/o Beta Theta Pi Administrative Office, P.O. Box 111, Oxford, Ohio 45056, or phone (513) 523 -7591.
