The Beta Theta Pi - Winter 1987

Are You ''Just Another''?

Sometime ago there was a motion picture , the memory of which continues. It was not an epic picture but it contained one line that was memorable.

The story centered on two average fellows rooming together One lad was girl crazy and sought a date for each night The other chap never dated and had little interest in girls.

After much insistence from his friend , the non-romantic partner had a blind date On his arrival back home, his waiting friend said , " How was she? Wasn ' t she great?" The sad reply came , " She was just another blonde. "

There it is- " just another. " The world , society , life and the days of our years are full of "just another."

Just another American or Canadiannice folks but they never have done one thing to enhance their country or give lustre to their citizenship.

It ' s true in the church. Just another parishioner or congregant , but never known to add one thing to the light or radiance of the church.

So it is in a community. Endless men and women who are law abiding, clean , decent , even reverent, but ne ver heard from through any contribution. They are just another neighbor whose image appears but that's all.

In connection with the Fraternity , how tragic and true it is Just another

badge-just another freshman-just another senior-just another member on the roll book-just another wearer of the badge

The Directory, alas, is full of the names of fine men who are just another who was initiated somewhere sometime

One of the things I strongly believe is that our Fraternity , from the Founders through the decades, has meant to make us all something more than just another.

It has meant the pledge would stand taller. It has tried to make the undergraduate a larger person It has tried to give the alumnus a memory that lifts.

Mrs. Montgomery, in one of her beautiful translations of the Gospels says , " Shine out as stars amid the darkness of the world. " That is it! There is the hour when one no longer wants to be just another but to shine out

It is my conviction our Fraternity has done that to countless men. Further, it exists to do it to today's and tomorrow's members who wear our badge and bear our name

As ever in -kai-

COVER

When Mike Schmidt, Ohio '71, was a high school sophomore, a football knee injury resulted in an operation The next year, a basketball injury forced operation on the other knee. By the time he entered college and became a Beta, coaches and stress tests ruled him out for anything but baseball Ever since then, he has been crossing his fingers over the predictions he can be a wheelchair case by age 50 Somehow, though, in the meantime he has made himself the " most complete " professional player of the last two decades.

Beta Archives Receive the Badge of Founder Michael Clarkson Ryan front Beta B. Franklin Lehntan

by Robert T. Howard, DePauw '37 Historian

The treasured Beta badge of Founder Michael Clarkson Ryan, Miami 1839, has been added to memorabilia on display in the Archives Museum of the Beta Theta Pi Administrative Office in Oxford, having been conveyed to the fraternity recently by the family which sheltered it for more than 60 years.

Its delivery to Oxford means that now both of the only known founders' badges, out of eight originals, are in the possession of the fraternity and may be seen together at the office across High Street from where Beta Theta Pi was founded at Miami University in 1839.

Until this presentation, only one founder's badge had been in the possession of the Fraternity. This was the badge of Samuel Taylor Marshall, Miami 1840. It had been presented to the fraternity in 1949 by his daughter, Mrs. Maude Marshall Hassell of Keokuk, Iowa, at the 110th General Convention at Glenwood Springs , Colo. The Marshall badge was kept in an Oxford bank vault until the Archives Museum could be added to the Administrative Office. In recent years, replicas of the Marshall badge have been presented to each retiring member of the fraternity's Board of

Trustees.

The distinctive gold Ryan badge was brought to Oxford Sept. 13 by B. Franklin Lehman, Ohio State '32, and Mrs. Lehman of Richmond, Va. With due ceremony, at a luncheon attended by a dozen present and former officers of the fraternity and other guests, they presented it to General Secretary B. Hume Morris, Centre '6 8, and Archivist H. H. Stephenson, Miami '39. It was placed immediately in a framed velvet mounting to match the display of the Marshall badge.

History of the Badge

Lehman explained that he had been given the badge on the occasion of his own initiation in 1929 by an uncle, Milton Sayler, Cincinnati 1898, a Cincinnati attorney and former District Chief Sayler had been willed the badge by Founder Ryan's daughter, Mrs. Emma Ryan L'Hommedieu, of Hamilton, Ohio, in 1922. And how that came about is an involved story.

Milton Sayler, soon after graduation, had been named Chief of the old District VI, which included a dozen Ohio and West Virginia chapters. He was a vigorous promoter of Beta activities and especially active in Cincinnati Beta alumni affairs.

He had a lot to do with organizing

things like the annual Cincinnati I dinner, according to Lehman; and WI he learned that a daughter of one of founders was living as near as Hamil· he invited Mrs. L'Hommedieu to guest of honor at a holiday dinner l in the old Burnet Hotel in Cincinnat i Dec. 29, 1902.

" When she arrived, she had her • ther's 1839 Beta badge," Lehman counted . "My Uncle Milton was excited to see this badge that she let I wear it through the dinner. Many ye later, and much to his surprise, an a ney called my uncle to report that .rv L'Hommedieu's will had left this fou er's badge to him. And then when ti came for my initiation, he felt it wo be worn more often and seen by m Betas if he turned it over to me.

"I took extremely good care of it, course. But when there was any Beta occasion, I wore it and was to show it off My possession of it pretty generally known in my u graduate days. Francis W. S knew about it , and therefore knew and he visited our Ohio State chap house often . But instead of calling me name, he'd always say, 'Well, h{ comes Mike Ryan .'

"I guess the last time I wore it when I was given my Fraternal

"Various representatives of the GenerFraternity had approached me over e years about turning the badge over the fraternity. I wasn't sure it could be 1pt safely elsewhere, and I hated to !Ve it just put away in a drawer , never 1en. But recently Mrs. Lehman and I 1d been thinking it was time we did 1mething with it. When we found out 1 .at the Archives could provide both visility and security, we decided to turn over.

"Now I'm pleased and relieved."

By coincidence, Archivist Stephenson , 1d been thinking it was about time for 1 10ther effort to obtain the badge.

Carl Kroch Sells Fourth Largest Book Chain to Employee Stock Plan

Last year, Carl A. Kroch, Cornell '35, received a "tempting buyout offer" from a chain for his 30-outlet bookstore firm. He refused because, he said, of the inevitable reshuffling and layoffs that would befall his loyal staff. So to help prevent takeovers, Kroch and his wife Jeanette, who owned all of the Krach's & Brentano's stock ,' sold half of it to a stock plan owned by the employees. The other half is to be sold to the plan over the next five years

Although he remains as chairman and trustee of the stock fund, Kroch has relinquished day-to-day control to his long-time associate and president, William J. McCarthy "I try not to interfere-too much," he adds.

The firm's sales were expected to be $42 million for the third straight year, ranking Krach's fourth nationally behind Walden, Barnes & Noble and Crown Books. The main store and headquarters in Chicago's Loop is listed as the second busiest bookstore in the country.

Most of the chain's outlets stock 125,000 titles. Readers in search of a computer software manual, a British paperback or a book detailing every label ever used by one French winery can find it in Krach's about as easily as they can spot the latest John LeCarre novel.

Son of the founder, Kroch (Beta Theta Pi, Fall, 1980), joined the business in 1935 and became president in 1952. In 1981 , Kroch made a $1 million commitment to endow the position of University Librarian at Cornell. In 1986 , he was recognized as "The Hero of the Book" by The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, the first bookseller to be so honored. Among previous honorees are Ray Eames, Richard Rodgers, Margaret Mead , Archibald MacLeish Charles Lindbergh and Alfred A. Knopf.' Krach's own reading tastes range from naval battles to politics to cookbooks-"! have 1,500 of them just in this office"and baseball. He keeps three baseballs in his desk and owns a minority interest in the Cincinnati Reds.

After three years of colonization, the installation marked the culmination of hard work to establish a colony. The men of Epsilon Delta overcame all obstacles and have crowned themselves "The Best in the West "

Forty undergraduates were enrolled as charter members by installing officer, Bruce M. Lloyd Brown '59/Pennsylvania '77. Present to officially present the charter t o the Epsilon Delta chapter was President John J. Rhodes, Kansas State '38. Chapter Counselor James W. Thornburg, UCLA '50, offered insight from the ritual, and Administrative Assistant John F Schaller, Ball State '85, preside d over the official enrollment of the chartering member s.

All this started in August 1984, 1d in November 1984, all 13 were initied into the provisional colony. The enre process took place in just under two !ars, but was done well. There was no 1apter house, very few financial remrces and no blessings , handouts or lprovals from the university's governtg body-just an abundance of Beta lirit , enthusiasm and cooperation , Jming together in perfect teamwork

It was therefore befitting that Presimt John Rhodes and his Board of rustees should be present on Nov. 1 , to

participate in the formal induction of the chapter- Epsilon Zeta of Beta Theta Pi-our 116th chapter, at the Holiday Inn in Guelph Over 200 attended one or more of the day's events-the chapter induction-the reception-the dinner-the dance . Actives and alumni were present from Toronto , Western Ontario , University of British Columbia , McGill Colony , Michigan State, Central Michigan , Wright State and Case Western Reserve.

1st in 34 Years

The installation was a most inspiring event with an appropriate amount of emotion. Jennifer Geddes , daughter of the late John W. (Jack) Geddes , Toronto ' 55 , former Chief of District III, presented a cheque to the new chapter in loving memory of the realization of her late father's dream-Beta's first chapter in Canada in 34 years. President Rhodes delighted the audience with a musical serenade to the women of Kappa Alpha

Theta who are establishing a colony in Guelph. His warm delivery was wellreceived, but all agreed he certainly is not a threat to Placido Domingo.

The 38 charter members of Epsilon Zeta who were front and center on this occasion, left no doubt in anyone ' s mind that this 116th chapter of our fraternity is off and running from the outset. An exuberant master of ceremonies , Ted Schlotzhauer , ' 87 , assured the audience that their motto "To Establish- To Live Long " would be lived up to and that the inspiration gained from the evening was a great starting point from which to build and grow.

Considered ''Baseball's Best,''

3-Time N at'l League MVP Mike Schmidt Still Keeps His Feet on the Ground

By Ben A. Callaway, Denison '50 Outdoor Editor, Philadelphia Inquirer

Glove winner, he committed just eight errors last season.

For what was probably his next-tolast season, it is something of an understatement to say that 1986 was a very good year for Mike Schmidt, Ohio U. ' 71.

Many say that Schmidt is the best, the most complete, player in baseball today.

At 37, Schmidt, whose entire 15-year major-league career has been spent with the Philadelphia Phillies, won a recordtying third National League most valuable player award. Repeating his victories of 1980 and 1981, he joined Hall-ofFamers Stan Musial and Roy Campanella in exclusive three-time NL MVP distinction. Only four American League legends share those three-time MVP credentials-Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle.

Other 1986 highlights for Schmidt were leading the league in home runs (37), runs batted in (119) and slugging percentage ( 547). A nine-time Gold

His individual dominance overcame the negative factor that the Phillies finished 21'/2 games behind the Mets. No other major-leaguer had ever won the MVP playing for a team which finished so far out of first place.

$2 Million Plus a Year

Schmidt's career may be the ultimate example of "no pain, no gain" success. His perseverance has been rewarded. Last year's valuable victory added a $200,000 bonus, as per a clause in his contract, to an already healthy annual income of $2 million.

This year is the sixth in a $12-million pact . Schmidt will have earned more money from baseball than anyone who ever played the game There is both icing and cake for the man who has achieved such goals as college all-America, MVP, home-run and gold-glove titles, all-star games , and a World Series title as a classic's MVP.

The Philadelphia press has made much of Schmidt guarding his family's

private life and his strong Christian timony. In recent years he has attai a peace of mind, explained by his st ment, "I don't worry about things I cr control" when the media was agoniz over the possibility that Schmidt mi not win last year's MVP because of Phillies' poor record.

The things he can control- •. uLlu'"' ' his performance on the field-are a · ferent story. "Preparation is a very part of greatness," he says of his c tration. Some nights , when his b sleeps, his mind is still playing baseb And "Some days," according to his Donna, "he does not see us or hear u she said of the father of daughter Jessi 8, and son Jonathan, 6. "You knc it's ' Hello , Earth to Mike Are -y listening?' "

"Time-Bomb" Knees

Schmidt ' s enduring stardom is esj cially amazing considering the incr(f ble mileage he has gotten out of ti terribly damaged knees. The road has been all that smooth, either. His first f big-league season in 1973 196 batting average and 136 strikem in 132 games.

" I started 15 years ago never thinki I'd ever play because my knees were bad, " he recalled He defied the od Back in high school, he suffered serio injuries to both knees while at Dayt c Ohio ' s Fairview A football injury sophomore year terminated any gridirr plans and required surgery. The year , he damaged the other knee

Mike 1986 fielding a s well as batting earned him his third Most Valuable Play e r Award for th e Notional Leag ue , even though his team finish e d 21-1/2 games behind the '86 champion N ew York Mets.

sketball and went under the knife ain. As a senior, he was hobbled ough that neither his baseball nor basperformances attracted much Hege interest.

Enter Beta Dr Dave Reese, Denison i, Mid-American Conference commisand a friend of Schmidt's grand:her, John Phillips. He helped steer hmidt to the Athens campus where 3 influence of Ohio U .' s then-baseball ach, now administrator, Bob Wren , 1yed a major role in the Schmidt story 'I owe a lot to coach Wren," Schmidt "He showed a lot of confidence me at a time not many other people J "

F lunk ed the Phys ical idt flunked the physical when he out for freshman basketball. " The told me I would be a ·candidate a wheelchair by the time I was 50 if I ' t cut down on the stress on my

knees ,'' Schmidt recalled. Schmidt was an excellent ballhandler and point guard and recalled, "Basketball might have been my best sport at that point in time " But they (the dire predictions) scared me . . . and I quit playing basketball."

The rest , as they say, is history , despite some detours . "Mike is the perfect example of what ded i cation can do for an athlete , " Wren testified . Schmidt, remembered by college classmates and Beta brothers as quiet, downright shy, recalls that " Attending O.U. was the first time I was out on my own , away from home. I was responsible for myself, budgeting my time , handling my own finan c es , washing my own underwear.

" Pledging Beta Theta Pi helped me to meet som e good gu y s who wer e going through the same thing . "

Today , Schmidt sa y s , " I run into Beta brothers all over the countr y , especiall y in Cincinnati. My pl e dge brother , Bruce

Peterson (now living in Bexley , Ohio) and I talk frequently. "

Retiring on the top of his game is something few can contemplate, and the Phillies' management and fans would rather not. A rib -cage injury sidelined Schmidt early in the 1982 season, and the Phillies lost 12 of 16 games without him. "Being without Mike in your batting order is like going to war with a pop gun ," then-Phillies manager Pat Corrales had said

Last October, the Phillies' joy with Schmidt's MVP award was tempered with the Beta superstar ' s acknowledgement that his best year was probably his next -to-last.

Phillies' President Bill Giles , a Denison '56 Barbarian (Sigma Chi) said "I refuse to think about it (end of the Schmidt era) "

But Schmidt figures that a good -asever or even better-than -ever year may be an ideal time to retire. While he's been carrying ice bags all over the continent, he ' s been accumulating considerable financial security. He ' s on top , both for achievements and remuneration. His fiscal condition is considerably better than his physical forecast.

While declaring "I couldn't stand a knee injury . . . another knee operation . Basically, I'm going to go as far as God wants me to go, " he appreciates his financial situation

A Bit o f Luck

He was the right man in the right place at the right time " I might have had the best timing of any player in the h i story of the game," Schmidt said of superstar status at the same time that freeagency sent baseball salaries into orbit. Add a career with one strong , high -salaried organization, and sound investment advice and you can appreciate why he says, "I am just thankful and happy (that) in my case , whether or not to retire is not based on my financial situation. "

At 37 , when falling stars have lost their twinkle but are in a dollar squeeze, Schmidt can go out a big winner.

The Phillies ' superstar philosophizes that "Baseball is the profession that God is using for me to express myself It ' s part of the master plan for my life. "

Schmidt has overcome another kind of pain, winning over the notoriously demanding , fanatic Philadelphia fans and critical press. A man often described as aloof, unemotional , d e tached , too cool, etc., has turned a long -running standing love -hate relationship into appreciative acceptance now.

He's so good , so smooth , that the way he goes about his work may appear effortless.

dering how your selections were made

Editor's Note: As any sports writer will testify , making All Conference or All American selections are tough in any one year. Jay's job was selection from over 100 years and literally thousands of Betas. As his introductory paragraphs said , individual statistical information , bowl game and all-star game selection, and success of the team during the years the man played were all factors. Jay says he could have added another full page or two of Honorable Mention selections, but a line had to be drawn somewhere.

Omitted: Unbelievable Walter Boyd

Dear Jay (Langhammer):

Have just read your article in the Fall '86 Beta Magazine on the AU-Time Beta football players . It is an outstanding piece of work and most enjoyable.

However, you have missed one of the greatest, and that is Walter A. Boyd, Jr., class of 1930 Westminster College, Fulton, Mo.

He was an active of Alpha Delta, the oldest fraternity west of the Mississippi (founded 1868). I hope you can find some way to recognize this outstanding Beta who now lives in Louisiana, Mo. and works every day.

Sincerely,

Tyke H. Yates

A Big '20's Star Brothers:

I just feel compelled to call your attention to what I consider to be a glaring omission in your Beta All -Time College Football team from the Fall '86 Issue

I refer to Frederick Leonard (Leo) Ziel who played at the University of Washington in the early 20's under Enoch Bagshaw. He was triple threat and All Coast. He might have been All -American but at that time about the only selection was by Walter Camp who leaned heavily to Eastern teams.

Incidentally, Leo still is alive and living in Port Townsend at the age of 85. Also, he was my coach in my senior year in high school

Yours in-kaiHarvey S. Christian Port Townsend, Wash. Idaho ' 35

Editor's Note: There ore many other deserving Betas, particularly in the early years, who doubtless could have been on Jay's long , carefully-prepared Honorable Mention list. As he points out, All American selections and other national recorded data before the 1930's is sparse compared to the last four or five decades.

Selection Factors Queried

Dear Sir:

As a former Honorable Mention All-American Tight End at St. Lawrence University (1976), I'm curious as to the requirements one must have in being selected to the All Beta Football team. Since my name is not mentioned I can only assume that your selection process demands more than those of the national football writers . . . I can't help won-

Editor's Note: Our Winter 1982 issue did carry a story on the fantastic feats of this 165-lb. four-sport athlete, called the greatest athlete in Westminster history. We particularly remember writing about his 1930 tryout with the Chicago Cardinals and scoring three touchdowns in one quarter in his first game-and the same year, as running mate with Stanford's great Ernie Nevers, playing four full pro games in five days. Also, he came in a close second in his one and only Olympics tryout for U.S. representative in the decathlon.

Founders Fund

Dear Sir:

Donees Speak

One of my most pleasant responsibilities is thanking donors for their support of Indiana University. It gives me particular pleasure to acknowledge your recent gift of $1,500.

I hope you derive the same satisfaction in supporting the activities of our faculty, staff and students as we receive from your generosity.

Sincerely,

Dear Brother Beyer:

W. George Pinnell Executive Vice President Indiana University

Backgrounds on Elected & Appointed New Officers & District Chiefs Given

Although elections of new General Officers are reported in the Convention Issue, we traditionally repeat them in the Winter issue for the benefit of those who may have missed themyou definitely should know the calibre of the Betas who are guiding the steps of the fraternity Additionally, a number of appointments in General Officer non-elective positions have been made since . Also there are always a number of new District Chiefs named following convention and a number of them who have been operating for more than a year but for one reason or another have not been previously publicized.

First and foremost is a reelection-that of the General Secretary-B. Home Morris II, Centre ' 68, a popular figure who by this time probably "needs no introduction. " However , here is a capsule: Founder of the Louisville chapter and for a number of years its chapter counselor District Chief for five years Twice secretary of a general convention and once president. First elected General Secretary at the 144th General Convention in Mackinac in 1983 and in his first term of office, among other things, has been a strong backer of the new chapter expansion policy and was the instigator of the new requirement for chapters to maintain a 2.5 scholastic average-an historic step that is producing grade-raising results and much favorable comment from university administrations throughout the U S and Canada. A courtroom attorney in Louisville, Ky ., Brother Morris is also a researcher and authority on Beta lore and a sought-after speaker at Beta events.

Elected as new Vice President is a prominent national figure-West Virginia Governor Arch A. Moore, West Virginia '51, an enthusiastic Beta who promises to "find the time" for Beta Board meetings and other Beta affairs and requirements of this new office. A former president of his Beta chapter , he has named numerous Betas to key positions on his staff and has held Beta rush gatherings at home and at his "of-

fice." His background could take pages but these are a few highlights:

Now serving his third term as governorthe only one in the history of the state to be elected three times Past national chairman of the National Governor ' s Conference. Past president of the Council of State Governments. Co-chairman of the Appalachian Regional Commission Two terms in the state legislature and six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In September, he as elected president and chief execul re officer of Celgene Corp., a. new 1 tmpany founded to apply modern biol chnology to the development of new temical products and environmentallylUnd chemical processes.

Edward

had become vice president and general manager of the· Textiles Division by 1969, and chairman in 1983

Celgene, based in Warren , N.J ., is a venture between Celanese Corp. and other investors, essentially a spin-off of a six-year, $20 million in-house research effort.

"In a real sense, we're creating a new type of chemical company. Celgene's emphasis on processes based on natural biological reactions will enable us to produce products not presently available and others at lower costs This is one of the most exciting challenges of my career," Fernandez said.

According to the Wall Street Journal , the use of biotechnology to produce chemicals holds great promise. In effect, bacteria or other genetically-engineered organisms are used to create specific chemical reactions at room temperature Celgene has two compounds close to commercialization, he said. One is an industrial thickening agent; the other , a compound that helps certain medical and scientific instruments to produce better images.

Brother Fernandez is a recent recipient of the chemical industry's most prestigious award for service to the industry, the Chemical Industry Medal of the American Section of the Society of Chemical Industry.

Popular Big Band Leader Horace Heidt Was an Astute Showntan and A Wealthy Businessntan

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

Pneumonia, which persisted following a heart attack and bypass surgery a few months earlier , claimed Horace Heidt, California ' 24 , one of the last of the famed orchestra leaders of the 1930-40 "big band era, " on Dec. 3. According to press reports, he was probably the wealthiest of them all, due to his flair for showmanship and his equallyastute business sense

When Brother Heidt pledged Beta at Cal (he grew up in neighboring Alameda) , making a career out of music was the last thing on his mind. Like many another , his mother had been after him to become a musician since his early youth and even had bought him a piano To him , practice was drudgery and he much preferred to spend that time at sports. Both he and the Cal coaches expected him to have a promising athletic career

Football Injury Changed Plans

A twist of fate soon nipped that anticipation in the bud. An injury he received on the football field at Berkeley proved to be a broken back. While recuperating in the hospital, he listened to dance

This CBS photo of Horac e H e idt, California ' 24, was taken at the height of his popularity in the 1930 ' s , when Hora c e Heidt and his Musical Knights were featured on national radio network

bands on the radio and decided that if he'd no longer be able to be cheered by football crowds, he might be applauded by dancers. An " entrepreneur" at an early age , he organized a five-piece orchestra even while going to school and talked his way into an engagement at Berkeley ' s posh Claremont Hotel.

All was not easy at first-it rarely is. Over the next decade, Heidt organized and disbanded several orchestras, concurrently pumping gas and/or working in real estate to pay his bills. Reasoning that just music wasn't enough to make a living for his band members and himself, Horace developed a facility for dreaming up gimmicks to interest the audience. His first orchestra, for instance, had a trained dog that would ring the bells when it played The Bells of St. Mary's. This ingenuity finally helped the group to get on the "vaudeville circuit" playing in various cities. The band would play good popular music with unexpected interruptions and corny humor .

Hit "Big Time" Radio

In Chicago, the vaudeville performance finally got Horace and the orchestra a radio engagement and a stint at the Hotel Drake where dancers would be interviewed between waltzes , foxtrots and rhumbas on a program called "Answers by the Dancers." He next got on national radio with a show named Treasure Chest, with the gimmick being married couples vying for prizes on their anniversaries.

Probably, however, the national network show for which Heidt is most remembered is his Pot of Gold , in which he was generally credited for being first in introducing in broadcast media the idea of giving listeners money. During the hour-long- program, operators would place three long-distance phone calls to numbers selected at random. When a call was answered, Announcer Ben Grauer would then shout "Hold it, Horace-stop the music!" That person would then receive $1,000-a sum in those days worth many times what it is

A Beta who formed his first band soon aft1 entered college, Brother Heidt is seen when he was in attendance at the 1961 Ger Convention.

today. Before the FCC forced the sl off the air as a thinly-disguised frustrated theater owners country, appalled by lack of on that night of the week, began tising that they would give $1,000 to patrons who were called by Pot of and were in their theaters at that t1 instead.

Shows Spawned New Stars

During World War II , Horace Ht and his Musical Knights appeared weekly radio network shows and at tary camps, hospitals and facto rallies for war bonds. In the late '40's was in the public eye with personal pearances, but gradually phased out pensive road trips and settled in Los , geles. In these years, his included a series of Parade of Stars grams at the Hollywood Bowl-v heavily aimed at discovering and feat ing new stars . Among his discovei was accordionist Dick Contino and comedian Art Carney, whose first business experience was as a of Heidt's singing group, Donna the Don Juans. Among musicians played with Horace were Bobby Hackett and pianist Jess Singers included Gordon MacR ; Frankie Carle, and the King Sisters one stage , in order to give his permanent home, he purchased famed Trianon Ballroom in Los

With the waning of popularity of big bands combined with increasing] prohibitive travelling costs , in the Brother Heidt got more and more real estate and investments. His sight had led him to invest in sive real estate in Los Angeles, Springs and Las Vegas beginning early as the ' 30's and ' 40's. Even by tl mid-1940's , he was reputed to be multi-millionaire , and his "business

on a number of different shows.

In December , Senior Staff Writer L. Erv Johnson , Idaho '53, and wife Ginger took off for a year's " sabbatical" leave from job and U.S. avocations to Europe. There, after some travelling, Erv expected to migrate to Spain where he ' ll do some uninhibited (by phones) writing .

So-we could use some help. Primarily we're looking for writer/editor types , preferably with journalistic training and/or experience who could lend a hand now and then in following up "leads " by contacting designated Betas to obtain biographical background and photos and write short, medium and feature stories. Like virtually all Beta jobs (officer, District Chief, chapter counselor and financial adv isor, etc.) , it's non-pay , voluntary " for the love of Beta " but in this case you at least get a byline on major feature articles! If interested , please contact the Editor at his Palo Alto address (see Directory, page 237).

ARIZONA STATE

The only way to start a new semester is to come back with a fresh mind for school and a strong pledge class for the fraternity. This fall was an exciting term for Delta Tau.

Rush, headed by John Simmons , ' 86, produced a large number of possibilities which were sized realistically into a very strong group of men ready as the new generation of Betas for Delta Tau Interest in Beta Theta Pi at Arizona State has risen sharply to the probability of a second pledge class for fall '86. All agreed to the idea. The fact we no longer have a house centralizing our chapter obviously has not shaken our reputation or the morale of the brothers.

Fall semester, we accented the Father-Son program. Pledges Scott Hofer and Robert Romero, pledge educators, planned and scheduled with that in mind. Our pledges have great memories-camping on Mt. Lemon in Tucson, Alumni Brunch , sorority exchanges and Father-Son Taco Sunday.

In other news , trail riding , barbecues and dancing made up the year's Western Nights , including a great time in Carefree, Ariz. Social Chairman Auston Miller, '84, kept the calendar full and highlighted with serenades.

President Robert Bowman, '87 , and Vice President Allen Harding, '87, streamlined meeting procedures to precision and have programmed study-hall hours several days weekly to boost a mediocre chapter C.P.A. Richard Joseph , '86, was reelected as treasurer.

Delta Tau extends its thanks to Gamma Tau and to the Arizona colony for their hospitality this fall. Until spring.

AUBURN

Fall quarter again proved to be an extremely exciting and active quarter for Delta Zeta chapter in various areas. We returned in midSeptember, after a long summer, glad to be back and anxious for another challenging fall. We are so happy to have Mamie "Mom" Stewart return as our housemother. She has become more than just a housemother to us, but a friend as well With Mom ' s return, we began preparing the house by painting and sodding the lawn. We are proud of the two new lights in the parking lot which were needed so badly. Paving the parking lot is a near future goal we have set. Soon to follow the work parties was the initiation of 11 fine men under the direction of Pledge Trainer Donald Kelly, ' 87 , with the assistance of J. Mark Armistead, ' 88. We are especially proud to add Benjamin H. Morris III, '90 , son of General Secretary B. Hume Morris, Centre '68, to the Delta Zeta roll. Bother Morris graciously presented the chapter with a hand-

some stained -glass window featuring the Beta coat-of-arms. It proudly hangs in our newlyrenovated library and will be viewed by many Betas. All of us are truly grateful to Brother Morris.

We are tremendously pleased with our selection of 30 new pledges Our rush again was successful due to the leadership of Clifford Darby, ' 87 , rush chairman These 30 men are enthusiastic and quickly are developing that Beta spirit. This past summer, we hosted four out-of-town rush parties in Birmingham , Ala., Nashville, Tenn., Mobile, Ala. , and Orlando, Fla They were an excellent time to catch up with old friends and meet new faces, too. We thank Little Sister Dee Dee Montgomery and M. Haden McWhorter, ' 90 , Michael Lacey, ' 89, and R. Lance Walker, '88 , for hosting the parties. Everyone attending the parties certainly will agree on their success.

Betas of Delta Zeta continue to excel in all areas on campus-scholarship, leadership and athletics At the General Convention, we received our 5th consecutive Sisson Award and won 2nd place for Chapter Song. We proudly announce that Faculty Advisor C. Grant Davis, '75, was appointed Scholarship Chairman for the General Fraternity. Also , we extend our appreciation to Charles B. (Chuck) Tatum, ' 75 , for his dedicated service as Delta Zeta's District Chief for the last six years and alumni president for four years. We wish him the best in his future endeavors .

Delta Zeta is dedicated to the continuance of top grades on campus . We placed 2nd in large fraternity division spring quarter, and although grades have not as yet been determined, we are confident of a high academic quarter

We congratulate Christopher Little, '87, and Joseph (Chip) !vie , ' 87 , for being selected Plainsmen, the official hosts of Auburn University. They serve in various ways, including helping at athletic events, hosting receptions and reunions, and conducting campus tours. This is the first year two Betas have made the group , and we hope to make this a tradition for many years to come.

Athletics is another Delta Zeta strength. We are challenged not only to defend our AllSports Runner-Up title, but also capture 1st place this year. We are off to a great start Already with football, volleyball and swimming underway, we have begun winning seasons, due greatly to coaching efforts. Mark Bridges , '87, serves as quarterback and coach, along with Lance Bond, '87 , and Richard Whitmer , ' 87 Also , J Jeffrey Deery , '87, is heading up the volleyball team We are anticipating another championship swimming team with J. Mark Armistead, ' 87 , and Jeffrey Weiss , '88, leading the way

Finally, our social calendar is full and exciting. We have three socials with top sororities,

all with interesting and imaginative therr Our Toga Party with our Little Sisters 1 great, to say the least. Also , our annual Sister Halloween Party has drawn camt: wide attention because of the organizat and publicity provided by Scott Portis, ' Little Sister chairman. During Delta Zeta co-hosted Balloon Derby, '8& fund-raising event for the American Cant Society along with Kappa Kappa Gamma rarity We released thousands of uctuuuu. <> a halftime to raise money for this

This year, we are continuing our (Brothers Against Drunk Driving) under the direction of Jose Hevia, '89. we have adopted a more socially responsi party policy-BYOB to all socials and ba parties This conscious effort has proven to well accepted by both brothers and guests .

Delta Zeta is proud of its many accompli ments and strives to maintain the standa1 set for quarters to come, and we are looki forward to more opportunities to grow chapter. (J os e p h P. Ivie III, '87, Corresp01 ing Secretory)

BELOIT

Chi chapter of Beloit College has begun the new school year with strong initiatives in house improvements , financial organization and chapter spirit

While the transition of responsibility from graduating seniors to the pledges of last year took some time, the resulting accomplishments not only have improved house organization, but have resulted in very strong spirit and unity.

Improvements on the house itself have been the central focus of the term so far. They began with a newly-sodded and seeded lawn which has improved the aesthetic value of the house immeasurably Interior concerns were not left untouched as the house pulled together to paint the hallways and lounges More improvements are on the wa y with new carpet planned for public areas and repairs on the pool table and piano also being investigated.

In addition to these innovations , a firm structuring of financial responsibilit i es and other fraternity obligation s have unified the house and have made the job of running a fraternity easier and more enjoyable

All has not been work , howe ver , as the pledge program has gotten off to a stron g start under James Lane, '87, this semester ' s pledge trainer Seven bright shining faces already have begun studying the lore of Chi. The year ' s first infamous Beta Cocktail Par ty was a roaring suc c ess with many more to come

Many of Chi chapter's memb e rs have sought to distinguish themselves outside of fraternal. " Mr. Initiative, " Robert Worobec,

' 87, has taken it upon himself to start a new theatre and art compan y to supplement Beloit ' s theatre department. While "LacrosseGod" Pledge Matthew Taylor and soccer ' s Pledge Britton Kamrow are leading Chi in the sports department.

In closing , a word of thanks goes out to the alumni who returned during this year ' s Homecoming. Chi chapter plans to take the lead in getting Homecoming back to when the students can be on campus. (Pledge Greg Camet, Secretary)

BETHANY

The Psi chapter has had a very productive fall term Our biggest accomplishment was a Fun Run that the chapter , along with some help from the alumni association , sponsored The run was in honor of Dr Richard Kenney , '70, who has been the chapter's counselor and/or advisor for the past 23 years We raised over $1,000 during the event and the proceeds went to the Wheeling Dialysis Center in Dr. Kenney's name

The high athletic standards continue in the Psi chapter both in varsity and in intramural athletics On the varsity football team , three of the four captains are Betas , Joseph M Cutrone, '87, Victor K. Murphy , '87, and Timothy H Williams , ' 87. For the second year in a row, the intramural football team won the Super Bowl. The team was led by playing coaches , David E McConahy, ' 87 , and Jeffery J. Woda, ' 87 . ·

Rush is looking very promising Our annual Beef Roast was the best it has been in three years, and the Fall Ball with the theme Manhattan Madness was a grand success Under the direction of Rush Chairman Patrick Bello, '88 , we feel that we will pledge only the best and brightest of the freshman class. (Harold F. Balk, '87 , Secretary)

BISHOP'S PROVISIONAL COLONY

Bishop's University, founded in 184o', in Lennoxville , Quebec , is a small liberal arts college with 1 , 200 enrollment. It ' s 90 miles east of Montreal and 90 minutes north of Dartmouth College at Hanover, N H. Here on Saturday, Nov 15, 23 men pledged Beta Theta Pi. The university has had no previous fraternity tradition but in September , several young men, one a previous pledge from Western Ontario and one a legacy , determined to start a Beta chapter. A delegation of four made a presentation to the Trustees gathered in Toronto for the Guelph installation and were granted provisional c olony status.

The university has gi ven its consent and the Dartmouth chapter has agreed to sponsor them. We wish them well. (By Stanley F. B. Neal , Toronto '62)

BOWDOIN

The Beta house continues to lead the list of the finest fraternities at Bowdoin College. Currently, we are in the process of initiating 18 fine men into the house , and all is going well. It is the consensus among the brothers th at they will be a fine addition to the fraternity. This September , three members were elected to the college's Executive Board In addition , numerous other brothers are i nvolved in volunteer organizations on and off campus . Relations with our neighbors and the

administration never have been better. Hockey season is just around the corner and the house is excited about repeating as ECAC division II champions. The Beta Bullets currently are involved in Interfraternity Football playoffs, and hopes are high for capturing our third straight championship. Numerous repairs made on the house this summer have improved its looks greatly Homecoming was a huge success and we thank all of the alumni for a great time . We look forward to seeing everybody back this winter. (John P. Stonestreet, '88, President, Ian

BOWLING GREEN

I express my deepest apologies to all Delta Delta alumni and to all actives, as well, for the omission of the article for the Fall '86 Issue of The Beta Theta Pi. Due to a military obligation, I was unable to complete the article on time. I should have delegated the responsibility to someone else, but I didn't . I realize that I let you all down and I am sorry. Hopefully, this article will make up for part of that.

To recapture some important events of the spring '86 semester, the chapter recently has been plagued with low activation and high pledge class dropout rate due to poor grades. Realizing that something must be done, the brothers have been enacting new policies to insure higher grades and thus higher activation rates. This includes mandatory study tables, prizes for high grades, mandatory scholarship workshops and grade reports to be sent back to us by all instructors. We've also had workshops on effective rushing techniques to help us look for pledges with good grades as well as other qualities. The real test to all of our work and efforts will be seen at the end of the fall '86 semester when grades are posted. However, it will be a challenge for us considering the graduating seniors we've

just lost who contributed not only high grades, but also outstanding leadership within our fraternity.

The recently-graduated brothers are Richard Eagin, Anthony Gallo, Geoffrey Hauck, Patrick Kenney and Douglas Lee. We wish them the best of luck and success in their careers and adventures ahead.

Speaking of success, the Beta "500" was a complete success last spring. Chairman John Loveless, '87, and Assistant Chairman John Hlivko , '87, ran one of the smoothest races in Delta Delta history (except for the brief thunderstorm that cut Happy Hour a little short). The race was for the Statue of Liberty Fund this year. We appreciate all of our alumni and the Betas from Case Western Reserve who came to the race. We also couldn't have done it without the support of our Li'l Sisses as well. And, let us not forget Tony Gallo who did a fantastic job of announcing at the race. That just about wraps up the spring semester for us.

Now looking back into the fall, the Bowling Green Betas started to enjoy growth and greater alumni relations. Fall was a very busy time for us. We have just graduated some actives who were going to be very hard to replace, we knew that we had to raise our house grade point average, and we wanted to improve our not so great alumni relations. Taking all these considerations into account, the Delta Delta Executive Board created a list of short-term and long -term goals for our chapter. The short-term goals are as follows: 1) establish a successful rush and pledge class, 2) improve our scholarship program, and 3) reduce our financial debt. Our longterm goals are as follows: 1) establish good alumni relations, 2) improve our image on campus, and 3) strive for new ways to continually improve scholarship.

After fall rush was over, it was evident that we had completed our first short-term goal.

of the spring '86 Beta Little 500.

We obtained 21 pledges whom we fee good men. We hope to activate at leas them before Christmas. Because of the pledge class, reducing our debt came due to the additional funds that came int1 house. We had accomplished our first and were well on our way to accomplis our third. We hope to accomplish our soc goal by the end of the year. A succe Homecoming helped us on our way to acl ing our first long -term goal.

Marc (Murray) Mastro, '88, alumni S! tary, delivered an outstanding Ho on Oct. 11 at the Fremont Holiday Inn in mont, Ohio. We had alumni come in fr01 far away as Dallas to witness this extrac nary event Events such as Senior Pimps Loving Cup and singing to our new Sweetheart, Teresa Bolinski, proved brotherhood, and the overwhelming atten given to us by the alumni proved to us they care. The Tom Jones Scholarship wir was John Hlivko We thank Scholar ! Chairman Stephen Britton, '78, for his 1 and effort put into the program thus far. new chairman is Pat Kenney.

In conclusion, we really are trying to prove the Delta Delta chapter the best we c and with all of your support, we know can. As we accomplish our present gc new ones are being formed to help guide executive members down the road to the health and strength of Beta Theta to make sure that our legend lives on. H. Ke nt, '88, Secretary)

The active members of Gamma Omicron h had a productive and prosperous fall The positive attitude that prevailed at close of last year continued through the mer and the chapter entered the new sch year with enthusiasm and unity This is reflected in the great attendance at cia! and sporting events and at our meetings.

The 1986 rush was successful, and, the direction of Rush Chairman Daniel '88, and his "rushing Gods," we pledge 31 outstanding young men. The additions to the rush program this year the computerization of the invitation driving lists, and the strong alumni attendance at all of the Both of these factors were instrumental in 1 running of an effective rush. Special thanks the Mother's Auxiliary and those alumni w did come out and support us. It seems tl most other fraternities on campus are ing Gamma Omicron's example, as the ity of first rush functions were dry this Gamma Omicron is running a close race I first place with Phi Gamma Delta in intrarr raJ sports, and the chapter is working hard retain the sports title. The hockey and ball teams have been the most "u'' """'" date. This year's Art's 20 Relay, which c memorates the founding of U.B.C., was attended by over 220 teams. Of this 11 were composed of Beta actives and es-a new record for the chapter. tions to Sports Chairmen , Paul Michael, and G. Bruce Anderson, '87.

The social program at Gamma Omicron doing well. The traditional Taco and Nite was a huge bash, and a was had by all. The chapter is now more theme and charity events to standard exchanges, and the i seem favorable. Hopefully, this new

Bowling Green-Betas, neophites, pledges and Little Sisters who helped with the running

ill help to increase the positive image of amma Omicron both on campus and in the Jmmunity.

The house is full of Betas! This statement is to bring a smile to the faces of our _ umni. More importantly, however, is that 1e "full" house has greatly enriched the spirand warmth of the chapter. Structural bairman Robert Kyle, '90, now is working rith the Alumni Major Maintenance Comtittee to develop a five year plan to renovate 1e interior of the house. This is certain to :!d to its comfort and enjoyment, and should nsure continued high occupancy.

l The chapter is continuing to promote the rowth and importance of scholastics. Many 1 f the members are entering the faculties of 1W and medicine, and other graduate prorams Also, the chapter, as a whole, is pending more time in tutoring the younger tembers and encouraging the pledges in 1eir studies. Thus, the chapter is doing very 1ell and looks forward to another successful ear. (Sheldon Trainor, '88, First Vice 'resident)

s the fall semester progresses, the Omega napter continues to strengilien itself in the fes of the university. We continue to hold a lat on the Greek Judicial Committee , while rothers serve actively on both Greek Week nd Alcohol Drug Awareness committees. In hilanthropy, we continue to participate in

te tutoring program we began three years go, in which each brother contributes at last one hour tutoring time a week at Elementary.

Physically, 2728 Channing Way has gone trough a period of improvements this semeslr. In addition to hydroblasting and water' ealing the busy Beta decks, painting three oors and various minor repairs, the chapter as had to replace a water heater and install 3,000 worth of fire alarm equipment to meet JUgh Berkeley fire codes

On a brighter note, rush went very well nee again. Although rush participation at :al has diminished in the last few years, there 1 as been no lack of interest in Beta Theta Pi. 'hanks to a strong house effort, especially rom Rush Chairmen Steven Dyer , '89, and .1atthew Klink, '89, we carefully selected ' line eager pledges whom we feel will contribte to the fraternity Spring rush plans curently are under way as we now seem ready I o make a strong push forward.

In sports, the house once again reached IM 1layoffs in football, basketball and softball ed by David Beeby, '87, the Betas were oarowly kept out of the final in what could •rove to be a new sport of Beta dominancetreet hockey. In varsity sports, we are welltlpresented on the rugby, crew and basketball earns. Noteworthy here is Scott Hutchison, B7 , now in his third active year of crew In ugby, always a Beta stronghold, we recently ost broiliers from the 1986 national champions. Our strength continues, however, with i. Scott Tielemans, '87, and Mark Resnick, 88, as well as a host of young players who u;>pe to move up this year.

Socially, we once again boast a strong so:ial calendar Our football game parties coninue to stand out in the Greek system , while ;ur invitationals have been exceptional We t!so mention our 6-way with ilie U.C.L.A. Jetas: -Kai- was flowing and I'm sure the ;ororities involved enjoyed the festivities This fall, the Omega chapter will put forth r.he Beta

an alumni newsletter with an intent to fortify and strengthen a strong alumni awareness in the Bay Area. On the same note , we thank all the alumni, especially William Dougherty, '84 , C. Ted Helgans, ' 84, and Charles (Chip) Wiser, ' 77 , for making the lOth annual Spenger ' s Alumni Banquet a huge success.

The spirit of the Omega chapter is once again in motion under the strong leadership of President Geoffrey Hand , '86. Continued education of our history and lore with the strict performance of ceremonies assure that ilie principles on which our fraternity was founded are very much alive in Berkeley. With an optimistic outlook, we await the coming of spring . (Charles R. Kuglen, '89 , Corresponding Secretary)

CALIFORNIA (IRVINE)

Invigorated by the advantageous addition of 12 enthusiastic junior initiates , the Delta Sigma chapter marches into the 1986-87 academic year with every expectation of continuing its tradition of being among the brightest and the best Coming off a highly successful year, which resulted in our second consecutive interfraternity sports trophy, the Greek President's Trophy , and a second place finish in the IFC academic competition (breaking an unrivaled streak of eight consecutive first place finishes), the U.C Irvine Betas are planning on perpetuating our winning ways.

Under the dedicated and able leadership of President Edward J. Hoban, ' 87, the chapter is riding high. Redoubtable Rush Chairmen Rex Wong , ' 87, and Andrew J Bardzilowski, '88, helped ilie chapter procure 19 prodigious pledges, including three Beta legacies. Social Chairman Leo Brajkovich, '88, has mapped out a hedonistically hectic itinerary, featuring U.C. Irvine ' s second Miami Triad Celebration, and our first ever Tequila Sunrise Party Housi-ng continues to be an unresolved dilemma for Delta Sigma. This term marks the 13th year that has passed since the first Beta

pledge class walked the halls of U.C . Irvine , and today we seem little closer to gaining a much-sought-after chapter house than we wer e over a decade ago Howe ver , hope runs high that patience and persistence will one day pay off, and the brothers eventually will find themselves under a common roof.

The character of the chapter has undergone dramatic changes in recent years No longer primarily a collection of maverick personalities , the Delta Sigmas now present a more polished and homogeneous image Ac c ompanying this change has been a desire to establish more Beta tradition at Irvine. Chapter Advisor Patrick Guinet , ' 83 , and Faculty Advisor Charles Pieper, USC '64 ,-now an honorable Delta Sigma , have been of inestimable value in providing helpful advice and insight. We extend a warm Beta invitation to all alumni to come and meet the brothers of Delta Sigma (William Caldarelli, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

CALIFORNIA STATE (CHICO) COLONY

In only our third semester as a colony, we have established ourselves as one of the leading fraternities on campus. Our athletic and rush programs are regarded as the strongest among fraternities.

Throughout rush week, we attracted 60 or more men each night , who seriously were interested in Beta This showing is even more impressive when you take into consideration we had more dry functions than anybody else. At the end of the week, we selected 25 men for Beta prospects. Our dry nights were so successful, we decided to plan a completely dry rush for next semester We are encouraging other fraternities to follow in our footsteps and go dry also.

In intramural sports , we have become a dominant force. To date, we hav e two football teams. Our fraternity league is 6-0 and first

Some of the members of the Delta Sigma chapter at California (Irvine)

seed in the playoffs , while the other team is holding its own at 3-2. It is very likely that we will capture all three intramural championships Sports Commissioner Christian DeMarais , ' 88, should be recognized He coaches all of the Beta teams and has taken the liberty of organizing the All-Fraternity Football Tournament.

A big part of our growth this year has come from our new house. It has allowed us to congregate for socials , meetings and pledge functions. Up to 15 actives can live in it comfortably

Brother Spencer Loomis, ' 87, was the instrumentalist in our building a new 20X32 ft. redwood deck in our front yard It has worked out great so far for socials and other events

Pledge Ronald Marquez was kind enough to donate his high powered stereo system to the house It sits in the family room and is used often.

Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority joined us in a Walk-A-Thon fund-raiser. The proceeds were donated to Multiple Sclerosis. We walked a total of 14 miles one Sunday. We also participated in a community canned food drive for the needy for Thanksgiving. All of the brothers took time out to go door to door to ask for contributions .

We are grateful to our supportive local alumni. Faculty Advisor Deane (Jim) Conklin, USC ' 51, and William Boosembark , Bowling Green ' 67 , have helped us tremendously , Their time and efforts are appreciated deeply.

Coming soon is our first annual ParentsAlumni Weekend The date , Nov 15 also is our one year anniversary as a colony of Beta Theta Pi.

We have accomplished our goal of becoming strong on campus Now, we hope to pursue our charter status successfully. Based on our efforts thus far and our aggressive ambition, we feel we are ready to take this giant step forward Farewell from Chico May Wooglin be with you

CARNEGIE-MELLON

As we look back at 1986 , there are several successful events that stand out among the accomplishments o'f the brothers of Gamma Iota. Spring Carnival , the fund-raiser for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and, Homecoming , which highlighted the success of chapter members on Carnegie-Mellon ' s football team , were high points.

Fund-raising for MS became a campus-wide phli<!-nthropy last spring and Betas were involved throughout the campaign A RockA-Like air band competition held in our gymnasium to raise money starred William Heiser, '88 , Ronald Orie , '87, Gerald Mancini , ' 87 , Karl Shearer, '87 , and Leo Cadden, '88 , as INXS. We helped our school raise the most money among other participating colleges in a nation-wid e MTV contest. The top prize awarded to Carnegie-Mellon was an MTV concert during the fall featuring the Bangl es Spring Carnival was again a big success as many alumni were present to witness A-team buggy , Nike , roll to a new Beta record time The buggy chairman , Denzil Boss , '86 , worked extremely hard in getting our buggy and push team ready for the race Although we broke the house record with a time of 2:09 16, we placed second after the final heat when another buggy beat our time to take first. This fall , a new trio of buggy chairmen are already hard at work on a new buggy that will be an ex periment in steering techniques

that should bring us a victory in 1987

The fall semester has seen the success of Homecoming, in which Alumni Secretary John Friedman , '88, and House Manager Leo Cadden, ' 88, deserve much praise for their efforts to organize the event, and get the house ready for the alumni to enjoy. This year was one of the better turnouts we have seen in awhile, and many thanks go out to the alumni for their generous donations

With about one-half of the brothers involved with football , the Homecoming victory over Thiel College was especially sweet. With Captains Ronald Orie , A Thomas Frost , ' 87 , and Michael Hensel , '87, leading the team , the Betas are a very big part of the great reputation of Carnegie-Mellon football. Leading the defense , Ronald Orie and Thomas Frost are the leading tacklers on the team while William Cramer , '88, and Robert Arthur , '89, are co-leaders in interceptions On the offense, Roy Teresky , ' 87, and William Heiser, ' 88 , lead the team in receptions while Edward Gallager , ' 87, Neal Shipley, ' 87 , Michael Behling, '87 , and Timothy Kelly , '88, anchor a solid offensive line.

The fall rush was another success with 13 men accepting bids. The pledges definitely will carry on the great leadership and r eputation of the Gamma Iota chapter in the near future . A spring rush will begin this January in the hopes of pledging even more strong Beta prospects

In the coming weeks, we are looking forward to our annual Halloween Party , and house trick-or-treat night, as well as the Christmas Formal to help us rela x before finals set in. ·

In closing, we hope to see many alumni at Spring Carnival in April to help make it as big a success as last year. We thank all the alumni for their dedicated support, and extend a welcome to any Betas passing through the Pittsburgh area (Robert J. Arthur, '89, Corresponding Secretary) ·

CASE WESTERN RESERVE

The fall semester for Lambda Kappa-Beta chapter not only was good for the present but for the future . Under the leadership of President Mark Thompson, ' 87 , we have experienced a new enthusiasm and unit y which rapidly is increasing Beta ' s notability on campus.

Our first semester of dry rush prod ( nine excellent pledges , as well as severat . spective pledges for the spring semester rush was highlighted by an all day cano trip. Everyone who attended had a wet I wonderful time.

We topped off our rush season by obtaiJ nine beautiful Little Sisters, thus boos spirits in our chapter Their Halloween Pi once again produced the most creative tumes on campus.

The Beta spirit has been manifested in intramural participation. Our football track teams were successful this season T both show great potential for future year s addition, we are looking forward to suct in other intramural sports such as volley and basketball.

We had a strong representation at the General Convention in Scottsdale , Ariz. I brothers and the Sophomore Fellow v. present. They returned with renewed sp and knowledge that has proven to be he r cia! to the chapter.

Lambda Kappa-Beta has several impor1 goals for the future. These include increa academic and athletic achievement, as wei the Sisson Award. In addition, tentative pi have been made for a Fraternal 50's c1 mony in the spring. Through dedication 1 hard work, these goals slowly are becom realities . We are looking forward to an evE ful year. (Richard Gillaspy, 88 , Secretary)

CENTRAL MICHIGAN

The brothers of Epsilon Gamma the fall with the spirit and enthusiasm ways has been present. We are left for first time without our founders here to gu us, leaving us to build ever so stronger · principles and ideas that they began.

Our fall rush , under the direction of Ste' P Hunt, '88 , produced seven pledges shine with the qualities of u"'"u''"''!o; of this great fraternity . Including ...... are currently the strongest (in numbers), we have been.

Academically, we are making great atmpts to improve ourselves Under the new ograms of Scholarship Chairman Robert B cmpton, '89, and the hard work of the broths, we expect to be back on top of the Greek andings in grades.

The Beta athletes have performed well i'oughout the season. Our football and softtil teams were both impressive, with the ythers showing true sportsmanship on and f the field. Everyone is looking forward to e coming floor hockey season where our en are the deadliest force around.

In other areas, Scott R Stoughton, '87, was ected to the CMU Homecoming Court here he represented the Betas well. Our nging also has taken a turn for the better un!r the hard work and efforts of Chorister ance J. Sasinowski, '89.

In closing, we wish the best of luck to our aduating seniors, Gregory J. Neper, ' 86, mes D. Riley, '86, and Grant A. Kersten, '86. le'll really miss you guys. The best of luck to Jr alumni and to all Betas! (Matthew R. egenauer, '88, Secretary)

reetings from the Dragon chapter Make no listake about it, President James Seabury , 7, is leading Epsilon toward one of our best aars in recent history. Bold moves on the art of the fraternity have established us as 1mpus leaders in virtually every field.

A recent highlight was a performance of the 11-Beta band, Luscious Lonzo, consisting of eon Hollon, '87, Jeffrey Hunyor , ' 87, John rooking, '87, Robert Beury, '88, and A. Sturt Worobetz, '89. Its performance was easily te crowd favorite among the several groups erforming.

lntramurals also have supplied their share f exciting moments this year. Both football tams cruised into the playoffs with only one ,oss apiece and are, at the time of this writing, 1 the thick of the hunt for the championship. asketball is starting to warm up in the state nd we are anticipating fielding one of the lp three or four teams on campus. Timothy ose, ' 87, has done a fantastic job of organizlg the Beta teams this year.

Matthew Grimes , '89, is the Beta representtive on Centre's nationally-ranked football 1am. He has earned campus-wide respect for is heads -up play this year On another athttic front, Richard Garvey, ' 88, and Gary kinner, '87, are helping lead the soccer ; am's charge toward its first conference tle ever.

Engineering by Jim Seabury and through 1e persevering efforts of several sophomores, ie house has purchased three new pieces of lather furniture A Hunter Green sofa and NO Hunter Green wing chairs now grace our ving room In addition , attempts are being lade to purchase another sofa, a loveseat and vo more chairs

Rush is proceeding unusually well and it ppears that we may be in for one of our betyears, numberwise, since 1984. A large •ercentage of the freshman class has ex•ressed interest in the house so we may be on he verge of another quality group .

Thus far, Epsilon chapter has enjoyed a !Inner year , and all appearances indicate hat we are in for substantial growth and chievement over the next several years. So, f any of our brothers and alumni wish to stop 'he Beta Theta Pi/ Winter 1987

CINCINNATI

High spirits once again are running rampant through the Beta Nu chapter. Brothers are excelling in all aspects of scholastic, intramural , social and university life.

Spring quarter ' s posting of grades showed Beta Theta Pi with an outstanding 2.85 G.P.A. with 94 brothers contributing. But once school was taken c are of, Betas were blazing our name all over campus.

One of the most notable was Joseph Fries , '86 , whose hard work and dedication produced one of the most memorable Homecoming Weekends Cincinnati has ever seen Numerous committee s also were staffed by willing Betas under joe ' s supervision . One of the weekend's highlights included Ron Kastner , '87, being chosen as one of the five finalists for Homecoming King. The annual parade also fell victim to our dominance as we coupled with the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta and took the second place award for outstanding float design

Speaking of victims falling , Beta Nu holds sol e possession of first place in th e Gre e k intramural division, gaining commanding leads in v olleyball, swimming, football, handball and wrestling Contributing to these wins were 22 dedicated pledges W e congratulate you on your fine choice

We sincerely thank all of the alumni for attending Home c oming Weekend. Without your support , Beta Nu could not exist. We hope also that your football skills will improve before the next Active-Alumni football game!

Last , but certainly not lea s t , we thank all of our parents for their support at the auction this year which took place during Parents Weekend. Your help and support always are appreciated greatly! (Carl V Bartok, '88 , Corresponding Secretary)

COLGATE

Halfway into the fall s e mester, the Beta Theta chapter continues its tradition of excellence Th e brotherhood ex pects the completion of its new addition within the next few weeks . This addition will ensure that Beta Theta's facilties will remain the best on the row for years to come Beta's new annex was made possible through a successful fund-raising campaign spearheaded by J. Langford Hatcher , ' 54 , and Zachary Barnett, '84.

The continuing support of Beta Theta alumni also was apparent on Homecoming Weekend, which was well-attended As always , the highlight of the weekend was the Loving Cup held on Saturday afternoon after the football game. Once again , we enjoyed renewing our ties with our returning alumni. We also were fortunate to see the chapter's alumni out in force at our road trips to Colgate football games at Yale, Columbia, Bucknell and Lehigh

The addition of 26 new brothers last spring has added much diversity and helped to maintain Beta's position as the preeminent fraternity at Colgate. For this reason , we are anticipating another successful rush campaign organized by Daniel P. Franzetti, '89, and Frederick T Busk III , '89. Their job has been made easier somewhat by the enormous popularity our fraternity enjoys among freshmen. Of course , rush recommendations are alwa ys welcome.

Also , Beta's continued domination of campus leadership was evidenced by the election of Bruce Aronow, '88, to the office of president of the Student Association

In conclusion , Beta Theta's 106th year at Colgate is centered around a strong and unified brotherhood, and an active alumni support which should ensure the chapter's success for years to come. (Sebastiano Brancoli, '88 , Secretary)

COLORADO

Dominance. The only way to describe the Beta Tau chapter. Being the strongest athletic house on campus , w e won both leagues of intramural football and open league basketball Also a great victory in football was the Nebraska defeat by the University of Colorado Buffaloes , of which five Betas started on the offense and defense : Drew Ferrando, ' 88 , Eric McCarty, '87 , Pledge Erik (UZI) Norgard, Scott Rasmussen , '88, and Samuel Smith, ' 87.

To regress to the beginning of summer, many actives lived in the house, and , led by Michael ReBollo, '87 , and Andrew Jarvis , ' 87 , made many improvements. These include a new paint job, both inside and out, a new bar in the basement and a new weight room , thanks to a donation by Mrs Writer

Arriving at school for the fall term, Beta Tau saw the best rush of all fraternities, acquiring 23 of the best rushees These pledges have added to our fantastic social calendar, including our annual Bad Mamma Jamma Party

Plans for next year ' s biggest event-the lOth year anniversary of our refounding , already have been established, thanks to the efforts of Bartlett Writer , '88. We ' re looking forward to seeing all of the alumni in their Beta spirit. (Andrew Van Gilder, '88, Secretary)

COLORADO COLLEGE

At the beginning of th e 1986-87 school year, the brothers of Gamma Delta returned to the

plea s ant sight of the $200 ,000 renovation of the chapter house , part of the current campus improvements being undertaken by the college. In addition to providing us with living and social quarters, the work will no doubt be a boon to our rush and alumni programs , inspiring both new and old members with the Beta spirit.

The Betas continue to be leaders of social activity and responsibility on campus. Not only did our fall theme parties meet with their usual success , but a new program requiring the donation of a can of food from each person attending our social gatherings already has garnered 2,000 cans for local charity organizations . We also are sponsoring our annual blood drive in December, an event that has raised record numbers of donations and has become the largest in the state of Colorado.

Our alumni gathering over Homecoming Weekend gave us a chance to get acquainted with brothers who graduated in previous years in a casual, lighthearted fashion Current brothers met with members of various classes going back to the class of ' 41, and a good time was had by all. We give a hearty thanks to all those alumni who were able to attend, and hope to see more of you at such functions in the future!

The autumn months also saw the induction of 39 neophytes into the ranks of Wooglin , making Beta one of the most populous houses on campus. The initiation ceremonies ran smoothly and were carried out with expertise and excellence under the guidance of President Patrick Gorman, '86 , Vice President Andrew Lesher, '88, and Social Chairman Anthony Johnson , ' 88 , along with the aid and support of the other active members.

Overall, the whole fall season of activities met with success , fun and enjoyment for the brothers involved. With help , luck and support, we are looking forward to many more successes in the months to come! (Todd M. Schaefer, '88, Corresponding Secretary)

COLORADO MINES

The Colorado Mines chapter has undergone a few changes this last fall semester . With the incorporation of a new mandatory 2 5 GPA for pledge initiation, we attracted a strong pledge class of 10, which will make a fine addition to the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. This new requirement for the pledges also has sparked higher goals from the active chapter in scholastics. All grades were posted, along with projected GPA's and all of the brothers

Highly-popular Rose Rehm, who plans to retir e next spring after 15 years as the Colorado Min e s Beta housemother, fits right in with some of her " bo ys " at last fall's Beta Tau Barn Party

and pledges were helping each other to make fall semester scholastically impressive

The pledge program has undergone some changes, not only stressing the importance of scholarship , but also encouraging unity in the pledge class in a more positive way . '!'his change and others will take some time to uon out , but the new system seems to be working.

In Beta sports , the first team took the Intramural crown in football. This championship meant a great deal to us. We had come close to a victory for the past three years and then, it became reality Everyone worked hard in the final game and kept the Beta spirit going against the much larger opponents. We came out with an impressive 36-0 victory-that ' s what Beta spirit is all about.

In keeping with our Beta spirit, Homecoming was, once again , a great success aided by a new house stereo system. As always , we were building the float until the last minute . However , with the organization of Vice President Martin Smith, '89, the engineering expertise of Erick Flora , ' 87, and the hard work of the fall pledge class, we were victoriousmaking this our fourth consecutive win The turnout for the Homecoming Banquet was also very good. Betas from all over came , watched the game and just had an incredible time We encourage all alumni to stop by the house , especially during Homecoming in the fall and the unequalled Hawaiian Party in the spring

The biggest thought on our mind now is the loss of our House Mom , Rose Rehm , of 15 years Spring semester will be her last semester here At the age of 74, she has been the most outstanding and loving house mom we've ever had Needless to say , we will be having a special banquet late spring semester to wish Mom the best of luck in her future endeavors. We hope that all of those who knew , or would like to meet Mom , will make plans to attend Further details will be included in the next Crucible Club newsletter Rose will be helping to choose another housemother , hopefully, one with as much tolerance and love as she had , but that will be a tough bill to fill

This semester undoubtedly will be another challenge for all of us at Beta Phi , but with the brotherhood and Beta spirit around here , we won ' t have any problems with it at all (Robert B. Lyons, '89, Corresponding Secretary)

COLORADO STATE COLONY

The fall semester has been an exciting one for the Colorado State colony. The spirit of Wooglin truly has been shining on us The year started early with the joyous news of our acquiring a new house. Spirits began to rise and phones began to ring as our members began to converge on Fort Collins from all over the United States. Two weeks before school began we had members in from Alaska, Texas, Connecticut, New York and Illinois, not to mention from all corners of Colorado

The house , at first sight , looked run-down and ov e rused; we knew we had a lot of work ahead of us, but without a second thought we jumped right in. Working hand-in-hand on a common goal , our Beta spirit never was stronger, and it showed through the pride we took in repairing our new home.

The house, located across the street from campus, worked in well with our fall rush . Our pledge class of 15 has been our largest to date, and is comprised of some of the best

COLUMBIA

The red , white and blue brownstone tl stands on 114th Street finally is reaping t benefits from the sporadic construction tl' took place during the past two years. Than to our alumni association and many genera donors , the house now has five flights of m stairs, a refurbished kitchen, new beams a 1 sheetrock walls where needed, and a beau fully constructed social area/wet bar in t1 formerly decaying basement

Psyched up by these major structural ren vations , the brothers put their labor in many aesthetic projects , such as the carpeti1 and painting of many common hallways, tl painting of the house exterior (red, whi and blue , of course) , the re-felting of the po table and the installation of phone jacks every room

In October , the Betas invited all alumni to. reception at the house following the Hoii! coming game Our meal plan chef, with tl help of the brothers , concocted a banquet : for a king. Everyone in attendance ate , drar and sang to their hearts ' content. The eve was a tremendous success with about ;

rhe fall pledge class was rather small due to oolicy, adopted by certain athletic coaches, aich prohibits freshmen from pledging tternities in their first semester. Neverthe18, the small class seems to be solid and we e expecting a "beefy" spring class. (David vry, '87, Corresponding Secretary)

CORNELL

1 the leaves turned golden red in Ithaca, the others of Beta Delta were busy gearing up i' a very active year. This determination was fleeted by our performance in intramurals , nere we have earned points so far in soccer, oss-country and tennis. Congratulations are order for our football team for the spirit it stilled in the brotherhood with its winning cord. When not on the playing fields, the others were busy with an active social u. hedule. Attendance at our parties has been tavy and has established Beta's place on the mpus social scene. Even after all that, the s others still have been able to find time to :eel in academics, which our house GPA of 0 demonstrates.

On a sad note, our efforts to salvage our vine ge, wooden hot tub which has been a source · fond memories for many alumni were not tccessful. So that this important tradition be trried on, we have been keeping an eye on e market for a more permanent fiberglass b. Any alumni who would know where we mld get a good deal is encouraged strongly J get in touch with us.

: 1 Our highlight fall semester was Homecomg Weekend which saw the return of a reJrd number of alumni and friends. Thanks 1 to many brothers and , in particular, Alumt Secretary Christian Kolmodin , '89, and :eward Jeffrey Frey, '89, for their efforts to roduce one of the finest homecomings we s we seen in recent Beta memory Of course, , te Tailgate Party, our win over Yale and the <cellent food prepared by our new chef did r' Jthing to detract from the spirit of the 150 or i 1 brothers and guests that attended the I omecoming Formal. We also were surprised 1d elated to see one of Beta Delta's living gends, Leo Love, '79, honor us with his resence. Among the returning alumni were obert Herron, '56, and Max Mattes, ' 56, who 1tertained us with stories of their exploits ' om the 50's and showed us the meaning of Jduring Beta Delta spirit.

In closing, we thank all those who came J 1 Homecoming, and encourage any alumni

of the brothers of the Cornell chapter with the Daughter's of the Dragon

passing by to stop in and meet the brothers. We attribute our strength and success to the paths our alumni have blazed for us and we look forward to an equally rewarding spring semester. (Thomas Tung, '86 , Secretary)

DARTMOUTH

Once again, the Alpha Omega chapter has been the center of attention at Dartmouth this fall. Based on outstanding performances by Betas in the classroom , on athletic fields and around the house , brothers have called this fall the "best ever."

Academically, Beta always has demanded excellence , and the brothers have flocked to the library in record numbers . Also Robert Smith , ' 88, and Christopher Redpath, ' 88, combined their efforts to set up a program to tutor problem students This program has received rave reviews from the administration for its innovative teaching techniques. But the biggest achievement thus far has come from Brett Matthews, '89, who has been warming the hearts of liberals all across campus with his very own newspaper, Common Sense.

To most Betas fall means one thing-football Unfortunately, this year, the Indianshaving been plagued by lame-duck coaching and poor scheduling-have struggled to keep an even keel in the Ivy League race Still , their won/lost record has not overshadowed gutsy performances by Betas on both sides of the ball. Defensively , the Indians have been led by Heisman Trophy candidate John "the Boz " Muehleuser, '87, at tackle. Muehlheuser's on the field and in the basement antics have made him the emotional leader of this year ' s squad. Assisting him have been John Fuhrman, '87 , who gets the endurance award for most playing time , and Nigel Ekern , '87, who gives speed to the backfield. Offensively , the Indian attack has been led by Ernest Torain , '87, who some people actually said was too big to play tailback, leads the league in carries per yard.

Despite the Indians ' disaprointing season thus far, Beta has not been denied its football triumphs this fall. The real story that is unfolding in Hanover is the success of the Beta Bombers-our intramural football team. The Bombers have been nothing less than stupendous In five outings they have averaged nearly 20 points a game and have yet to yield a single point while only allowing three first downs. Led by inspirational coach, Richard Pepperman , '87, who gave up varsity football last season to take the coaching job , J. Andrew Axel , '88, at quarterback, Edward Boyle , ' 87, at tight end, F . Desmond Hussey , ' 87 , at defensive tackle , Gregory Garre, ' 87 , at linebacker and John Sierotko , '87 , at defensive back, the Bombers are ranked #1 in the USA Today intramural football coaches poll. Everyone on campus is comparing them to the Chicago Bears, last year's Super Bowl champions , in the way they have dominated play this season.

The big social event this fall was Homecoming which marked the return of the beloved class of 1986 for their first Loving Cup as alums. Loving Cup was graced by the presence of four chaplains, Frank Coslito , ' 81, Brad K.liber, '85 , Kevin Quinn , '86 , and John Fuhrman. Everyone will remember this Loving Cup for the heartwarming ceremony that took place afterwards in which Richard Stafford, '83, led Craig Saltzgaber , '86, C Douglas Mitman , '86 , and Arthur Conley , '86 , in announcing their plans for a group wedding early next year. Later that night, Saltzgaber and

Mitman took it upon themselves to go to every brother ' s door and invite them personally The other big event this fall came when Kappa Kappa Gamma named Christopher Matonis , '87 , as their honorary House Father as a result of the time he has spent working on the Kappa house and time he has put into coordinating Beta and KKG activities Finally, everyone is looking forward to the second annual Super Bowl party where everyone comes as his favorite Chicago Bear. (Gregory G. Garre, '87, Secretary)

DENISON

This past fall brought many outstanding events to the town of Granville, and the brothers of Alpha Eta were involved as always. The biggest event that occurred was within the chapter house itself. Through the dedication and hard work of Peter Halliday, '59 , and David Richards , '45, the $500,000 refurbishing project finally was completed The house on the hill is now the envy of the Denison community Much thanks go to our ever-present and committed alumni , without whom it never could have happened. The house was officially dedicated on Oct. 11, as over 200 Beta alumni and special guests journeyed back to Granville for Homecoming festivities including , Col. Richard (Misty) Shoop, '41, George Roudebush , '15, and District Chief Richard Griffin, Ohio ' 65.

We are now in another important aspect of the fall semester and that is rush . The freshman class looks promising, and the brothers are optimistic and hard at work showing the freshmen the Beta light. Also the Alpha Eta chapter roll has grown with the addition of two newly-initiated men .

Socially, the Betas were very active this fall. Such events included Octoberfest with Kappa Alpha Theta and Pledge Night with Kappa Kappa Gamma The social event of the semester, however , was our serenade with the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority . Robert Bodor , '88 , pinned his longtime sweetheart , Heather Sweeney. (Robert N. Krischker, '88, Corresponding Secretary)

DENVER

The fall quarter is coming to a close, but Beta Theta Pi will continue to reach for new heights In fact, the men of the Alpha Zeta chapter consider a 365-day year commitment to our fraternity to be a virtue.

As well as many other fraternities on the D. U campus, Beta underwent its first dry rush this fall. Dry rush was a new concept for many of the brothers and a great deal of training and preparation was imperative

Nevertheless, we found that all our efforts paid off Through dry rush , we found that we were able to become more personally acquainted with the men who went through rush this fall, thus resulting in one of the finest and strongest groups of men on this campus

Through these past few months, Alpha Zeta has become more active on, as well as off campus The brothers ended the month of September with the annual camping trip to Maroon Bells , Aspen We go on this trip religiously every year and not rain , hail or even snow can stop us. This year Mother Nature tested th e brothers and even some Little Sisters with three feet of snow but we defeated her with record-breaking attendance.

On-campus activities this year have included pledge presents , Greek Week Olympics

and "A" league flag football. Vice President Michael Harris, '88, organized a clothing drive philanthropy to benefit the needy, and President Stephen Krauss, '87, led the Betas and the sisters of the Delta Zeta Sorority to a first prize-winning Homecoming Float.

The activities of the Alpha Zeta chapter are not limited to the campus alone. Through the quarter, we have become very close with our brothers of Beta Theta Pi at the Colorado School of Mines and at Colorado State University as well.

Beta Theta Pi has been a pioneering fratern ity on the University of Denver campus since its founding in 1889, and the brothers invite you all to join us for our 100th year anniversary throughout the year of 1989. (J o hn T. Ross III, 89)

DEPAUW

The school year at DePauw starts with fraternity rush, and this is where Delta chapter began perpetuating its strong tradition . The efforts of Rush Chairmen Treg Balding, '88, and Michael Ottsen, '88, led to the pledging of 18 fine young men who already have started to contribute to the house and to the campus. Hopefully, these men someday will be able to wear a Chandler badge as did David Mathias, '89, and Christopher Koch, '89, after their initiation on Sept. 19. Newly-elected Rush Chairmen Thomas MacMillan, '89, and Peter Munson, '87, already have started preparing for next year's rush; any information given to them will be a big help.

Again, we are achieving our goal of leadership on campus with many brothers holding leadership positions in a variety of organizations. David Rehn, '89, replaces Jeffrey McLaren, '88, as president of Sophomore Board. Michael Canfield, '88, was chosen music director for the campus radio station. President Richard Lohmeyer, ' 87, took last year's philanthropy one step further by getting the whole campus involved in a marathon basketball game that should raise even more money than last year. Perhaps the accomplishments of J. Tyler Williams, '88, demonstrate our devotion to leadership most clearly. Tyler was named one of the top -ten leaders on campus. Many brothers also are turning in notable performances in various arenas of athletic competition. In addition to having a member of every varsity sport except one, including four starting soccer players, six starting football players, three varsity swimmers, and at least one starting basketball player, three Betas captain their respective teams: Michael Lynch, '87, swimming, J. Clark Cox, '87, football and Michael Ottsen, '88, baseball. We are enjoying a fine intramural season as well. With first semester winding down, Beta is in first place with many of our strong sports coming up in the spring.

So far this year, we have been blessed by many visits from alumni, and those who have returned have seen many improvements in the including a repaved parking lot, new wmdows in the cold dorm and the warm dorm, front lawn landscaping, a fenced-in area for cookouts and other outdoor activities, and the creation of an academic council to keep priorities in order. We thank all the alumni for their support and welcome them and Betas everywhere to stop in and see how well we doing

(Stephen P. Simsic, '89, Correspondmg Secretory)

DICKINSON

The men of Alpha Sigma once again are rid-

ing the crest of the wave this fall. After winning our third annual Francis H. Sisson Award this summer at Scottsdale, the Betas have proven strong, both academically and socially. In financial terms, we are in the black. We continue to lead the Interfraternity Council on campus, and we are ranked third currently in intramural sports. Our high cumulative average places us first among all the fraternities.

This fall, the key word has been rush, with the rush season running from the beginning of classes through Thanksgiving break. Under the competent leadership of Chairman James A. Koehler, '87, we have given out 18 quality bids to incoming freshmen. By Homecoming Weekend, nine fine young men had accepted and agreed to pledge Beta Theta Pi. More will follow soon.

The mechanics of rush this year again have stressed a comprehensive alcohol-free program. Some activities include Monday Night Football parties, Wednesday night study breaks with hoagies and tacos, and bowling trips on other days of the week. Once again, we have placed emphasis upon the Rush-Buddy system, where one brother is assigned a particular freshman to rush. We have had great success with this program, as the number of early acceptances indicates.

Our social calendar also has been busy. Social Chairman Peter A. Kanjorski, '87, has brought us a great semester. Our famous Beta Milkshake Party, held with the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority, was the envy of the campus. The regular weekend parties were attended by large crowds, and our new stereo system proved to be the icing on the cake. We also have held several weekly cocktail parties with women's freshman floors, giving us a great opportunity to meet the new women on campus. Later on in the semester, we look forward to a party with the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority and, of course, Beta Formals.

Our Homecoming Banquet on Oct. 25 was marked by a large number of returning alumni. Special guests included District Chief John K. (Jack) Easton, Wesleyan '58, and former General Treasurer Samuel J. McCartney, Jr., '41. The keynote speaker was Royce V Haines, '30, who spoke on what Beta was like over 60 years ago. The annual house foundation meeting was held during the weekend also, and Neil J. Kaplan, '80, was reelected president. The weekend came to a successful close with our Lost in Space Party Saturday night.

In November, Alpha Sigma will sponsor its 4th annual Pole-Sitting Marathon. This year, we will be raising funds for the American Heart Association. Under the capable leadership of Philanthropy Chairman Paul D . Racenet, '88, Beta hopes to raise over $3,000 for charity.

As the semester draws to a close, we thank our outgoing executive board for its dedication to fine leadership. President Michael G. Hoffman, '87, serving his second term, as well as two-time Treasurer Jeffery T. Hartley, '87, deserve our gratitude. Special thanks also to Rush Chairman James A. Koehler, '87, Vice President Peter A. Kanjorski, '87, and Secretary M Michael Kuban, '88 (Stev e n E Burlein, '88, Corresponding Secretory)

DUKE

For Gamma Rho, the word of fall 1986 was "change." Along with new names and faces the section has been remodeled, and new uni: versity policies have altered campus life in

many ways These changes have had a d enting effect on many people campus-1 Charles Dickens describes this aspect of pus life best: "It was the best of times, it the worst of times " However, Ga Rho had an unyielding constant in the : ows of change ATMOSPHERE, tha. derlying intangible that makes it a pleP to have been and to be a Beta at Duke remember.

Along these lines, we sincerely hope Beta alums from the graduating class£1958-62 and 1966 enjoyed a chance to r that atmosphere, returning for the ope football game and a semi-formal two w later. The brothers of Gamma Rho extend same sentiment to all of you who retu for Homecoming Weekend. Old frie unpredictability, relaxation and spontar quenched the insatiable desire for fun surrounds this event

Under the direction of D. Laird Blue, Thomas Losee, '88, and Matthew Hall '89, rush proceeded very well. Duke Betru tracted another rush class of interesting / ented individuals-characteristics that I been the hallmark of Gamma Rho since 1 immemorial.

FLORIDA

'!_"he fall semester started with the expectations of a productive and exciting year for the Gamma Xi chapter A goal for this year , as set by the brotherhood , was to better our last year's second place showing in the McCarty Award service project competition. Even in its our bid for first place, led by Serv1ce Chairman Mark Weinberg, '88, has left us several points ahead of the other fraternities. We have had two major fund -raising t? benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association The first was with Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority at a local bar and the second , a tanning contest was with Pi Beta Phi Sorority at Beachnutt's. Both of these events raised hundreds of dollars for MDA Beyond joint service projects, we individually have donated several labor hours to needy organizations. Some of these include: the Hippodrome State Theater, the Jaycees, the Briarwood Home of Independent Living , the Civitan Regional Blood Center , Vote America and the Gainesville Arthritis Foundation. We also have many events in the planning stage , one of which is our annual P A.W. Party to benefit the Alachua County Humane Society. We feel confident that our planning and determination will assure us this year's first place trophy

Fall semester has been great socially. We have had happy hours with Phi Mu, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Alpha Xi Delta sororities, but our social calendar's highlight was Homecoming with Sigma Kappa Sorority. Many hours of planning and preparation, under Homecoming Chairman Eric Vorndran, '89, went into the float. A special thanks goes out to Michael Klimas , '77, president of K. B MAX Construction Corp. and to Edward Lee Johnson, ' 57, publisher of The Gainesville Sun , for the contributions from their companies. Although we did not get first place, next year we intend to redouble our efforts and t<ike that trophy as well.

Finally, with spring rush approaching, we will begin to prepare for the second stage of the yearly fraternal membership drive . Our new rush chairman, Eric Vorndran , should prove to be the most dedicated and earnest chairman in several years Any rush recommendations should be sent to the rush chairman at the chapter house (Jam e s A. Schweitzer, 88, Secretary)

G.M.I.

A-Section. We have just finished one of our most productive semesters here at Delta Eta chapter. The brothers have inducted 21 pledges, the largest group in our history. Their unity and strengths will make them fine additions to this fraternity.

To inform our alumni, you should have received your first newsletter. This is our first effort, but the format is not final. If you have not received one, please send a current address so we will be able to update our records and get one to everyone.

A new tradition has been started this semester. The annual Beta Day Golf Tournament was a notion started by Timothy Willis, '87. This member/pledge outing ended well with awards and recognition going to those with the highest and lowest score, longest drive, etc.

Speaking for the rest of the membership , I thank the graduating class of 1987 for all of its support. Its gift of the computer center enhances an already great house. These

brothers were very instrumental in the great success that this chapter has attained We wish them the best for whatever comes next in their lives. (David Chinoski, '90, A-Section Secretary)

B-Section. We have had an equally exciting rush this fall, which included such events as the Beta Road Rally , Tuesday Night BetaQues, Sunday Beta Brunch, the Tie-One-On Party , and , of course, Beta Day We had outstanding weather for this event which included fierce competition and a live band, Rear View, to provide plenty of entertainment

This year's Beta Day was remarked to be the best Beta Day which any in the chapter could remember Much congratulations to the Blue Bandits, the day's victors. This fine rush was coordinated by Rush Chairman Richard Snary , '89, and we thank him for his outstanding job. As a result of this remarkable rush, we have inducted 20 new pledges Our largest pledge class in five years

Congratulations are extended to our new house officers elected this fall : Timothy Sutton, '89, president; John Maxgay, '89, comptroller; Peter Ramirez, '90, treasurer ; Richard Snary , '89, house manager; Kenneth Marks, ' 90 , steward; and Samuel Harris , '90, secretary

The membership also congratulates the exiting administration for its fine guidance through the last year

In sports, Beta once again proved its athletic prowess on the field. In the annual FijiBeta Bowl , Fiji once again was crushed 38-8. This was achieved behind the stellar play of Walter Czop, '89, and Nathan Case , '87 For the fifth year running, we have defeated these worthy opponents

On the soccer field our chapter also has excelled. Behind the outstanding leadership of Kenneth Knable, ' 87, Nathan Case , '87, and Christopher Millard, '87 (who is averaging over three points a game), we are currently 2-0. These men also have led the GMI Soccer Club to a, currently, 2-2-1 record

Very special congratulations go to Ronald Schoolcraft, '88, whose wife Deb is expecting. We all anxiously await the little Schoolcraft, who is due in May. Other nuptial congratulations are due to John Hrit, '83, and Kathy Stein, who will marry Nov. 8.

As can be seen, much is happening at Delta Eta and we all anticipate an exciting year ahead of us. With our new pledges and leadership , life at our country estate is sure to maximize the Beta spirit We invite all Betas to stop by , meet our new dog , Spike, and join with our brothers in Beta tradition. (Samuel A. Harris, '90, B-Section Secretary)

GEORGE MASON COLONY

Former District Chief James C Thomas , Emory '57 , once wrote "George Mason is expanding rapidly from its original commuter-college status in the Washington , D C suburbs to a major university in the state system with a large resident student population. Some of our rivals already are present , but the colony is composed of men who , wisely , desire something a great deal better ." Within the last year our university has completed a 10 , 000 seat arena, seven new dormitories , approved a $9 million dormitory housing project, and is in the last stages of finishing two large structures that will house the Humanities and Science and Technologies departments. This growth in size and excellence also has been noticed by recent articles, in Time magazine, The Wall Stree t Journal, and

The Washington Post. The icing on the cake, though, came in early October when sor James M. Buchanan won the Nobel Pnze in Economics. Just as G.M.U. has earned praise amongst its rivals , our colony h a s set a standard of excellence that is unmatched by that of any fraternity on campus.

Congratulations are in order to Rush Chairman L. Kevin Kelly, '88, and President Rohit Dhanda, '87, whose combined efforts led to an outstanding rush in which 18 young men took on the responsibilities of being Beta pledges. The pledge class consists of a diversified group of individuals whose spirit and motivation is a cut above the rest.

Our second annual Halloween Party was a hit, thanks to the efforts of Social Chairman, Gerard Mannix, '87 Coming events include theme parties, mixers, Big Brother-Little Brother nights at the movies and the one event which is becoming a tradition for Ma· son Betas , serenades.

On the gridiron, we are making our presence known to the 26 teams in the intramural league by being undefeated in four games and scoring a league high 147 points to only 2 against us With hard work and determina · tion, we hope to capture the league title.

Scholastically, we are trying to raise our combined GPA from a 2 67 to a 2 85 for the fall semester; this, we feel is our most important task at hand. With an interfraternal tutor service and hours allotted to studying on campus in the G.M.U. study lounge, we feel progress toward our goal is certain.

· In conclusion, we thank Colony Advisor Roderick B. Hastie, Auburn ' 82, for his continuing support and friendship. Without all of his help, we wouldn ' t be the outstanding force that we are in the George Mason University fraternal circle

Any Betas wishing to contact us can feel free to do so by calling after 8 :00 p m. (703) 698·0142 or writing to 3421 Charleson St. Annandale, Va . 22003 . (Carl os Alv a rez, '88, Corresponding Secretary)

GEORGIA

As the weather begins to bring hints of winter chill, the Betas of the newly-chartered Epsilon Epsilon chapter at UGA look forward to the challenge of a new year with an abundance of Beta spirit and a resolve to work for our first Sisson Award. The pride and happiness we feel after receiving our charter is matched only by our determination to continue to uphold Beta ' s name here in Athens

We finished last year's spring quarter with the top GPA among fraternities, and a second place finish in intramurals in our league Rush Chairman Gregory Lewallen, '88, did a fantastic job coordinating our summer and fall rush activities , including two successful summer rush parties. Many thanks to all of the alumni who contributed to our summer fundraising campaign ; close to $1 ,600 was raised to help our housing corp as it works to obtain insurance and new housing opportunities The General Convention was attended by eight of our brothers. Their presence and the especially hard work of President Patrick Marcellino , '88, and Vice President Alan Rudolph, ' 88, were key factors in our successful charter attempt. All the brothers who attended the convention have brought back reports of the incredible Beta brotherhood and spirit felt by everyone

Our fall rush , continued in our established dry rush tradition, was a complete success as we pledged 11 fine young men. After having

their pledge retreat in the summer, we initiated seven spring quarter pledges into full brotherhood , which gave us a total of 43 active brothers and pledges. We now are looking forward to the rest of fall quarter with anticipation, as we continue our campus in· volvement and full intramural participation

We already have begun work on the Homecoming competition with Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority, and plan on winning the Overall Trophy again this year. And, as always, we look forward to visits by any Beta brothers and alums - our house is open to any and all Betas travelling through Bulldog Country. (J o hn F o wl e r, Jr., '87, Secretary)

IDAHO

For this year's rush, Gamma Gamma pledged 21 outstanding young men with many previous accomplishments in both academics and athletics. The carnival for rush was a success with the participation of the campus sororities for their various philanthropies.

The second annual Softball Marathon was a big success . Once again proceeds were given to Stepping Stones. This year $2,000 was given to the organization. The Sigma Nu's lost to the Betas but only by 75 runs this year.

Homecoming went over well with the alumni and parents enjoying themselves almost as much as the actives The remainder of our social calendar included an exchange with A-Phi's , a block party with the Gamma Phi's, Dee Gee's and Sigma Nu's, another bash with the Kappa's, Pi Phi's and the Dell's as well as the annual Barn Dance. With a lot of other parties thrown in and with a lot left to be thrown, we have our share of fun

Fall initiation was the weekend of Sept. 28 With the addition of two, our roll numbers have reached 1381 Hopefully 21 will be initiated in February. It looks good so far

Halfway through the first semester, many of the members have good things to say about their grades, and in intramurals, we are in third place but took the campus football championship for the second year in a row. We still have basketball and softball-our two best sports - to go in the second semester, so things look good for an overall championship.

Jenkins Day on Oct. 25 was a big success with many distinguished alumni showing up for Peter's Trust and the banquet following. The meeting covered the progress of the renovation for the house. As of this date, only 54% of our projected goal has been reached This renovation is to be completed in 1989-the General Fraternity's 150th year, University of Idaho's 100th year and Gamma Gamma's 75th year.

As the fall semester began, the men of Sigma Rho were looking forward to seeing the house improvements that were done over the summer months. Last spring, Beta made plans to remodel the bathrooms and the dining room To our surprise, upon return to classes, the work was not quite finished. What were Betas to do about showers? Well, thanks to several thoughtful members, the chapter constructed showers out back of the house! A tent was pitched and some hoses were hooked up and , all of a sudden, we had showers This bit of ingenuity tided us over until the bathrooms were complete Fall rush again was a success for Sigma Rho. Headed by A John Hass, '88 , the chapter pledged 12 fine young men, five for the current semester, bringing the class of '90 to 19, and seven for next semester. Informal Rush Chairmen James P. Flannery '88, and Michael A Chivini, ' 89 , continue to work in hopes of adding several more men to next se-

On the field, Betas continue to be a dominant force on the U of I campus. On the soccer field, Betas could not be stopped. Throughout the regular season and playoffs, the team allowed just one goal and swept up the fraternity league going undefeated. On the football field, all three of the house teams went undefeated through the regular season and are now in the midst of tournament action.

In the fall, Illini football games are always a time to party. To add to the busy home game weekends, the social calendar includes three annual dances. First, there is Set-Up Dance in October; in November, it's the pledges' turn to celebrate with Pledge Dance; in December, we break out the coats and ties for Christmas Formal.

The big event of the semester was Homecoming. Alums from 1941 to 1986 returned to see old friends and to meet new friends. We hope that Betas from years past continue to return not just on Homecoming, but anytime. Sigma Rho's doors always are open We look forward to seeing you. (Daniel J. Ridgway, '88, Secretary)

As the fall semester opened, the men of Pi chapter looked forward to a resurgence in intramurals, an upswing in academics and a continuance of great social activities.

At the time of this writing, Beta is at the top of the intramural race with great performances in softball, football and racquet sports. Credit for the rise in the rankings goes to Intramural Chairmen K. Michael Wolfert, ' 88, and J. Frederic (Ted) Weise, '89, and the rest of the brothers and pledges

Under the leadership of our new executive board , W Bryan Elliott, '88, president; James Dugan , '88, first vice president ; Malcolm Webb, '89, second vice president; and Thomas Jontz, '89, treasurer , we hope to increase our presence on campus with a large philanthropic project , higher grades and an ever increasing participation in campus organizations

Sixteen of those came from fall formal rush, one of the most successful in recent history Academics also have been a bright spot in our year . We climbed from 13th to third in the all-men's rankings with a 2 81 GPA, and, we hope to maintain this strong academic standing

Currently in intramurals , we are first in the All-University standings due to top finishes in many events.

Overall , we ended the year in third place in intramurals with All-Greek victories in football , basketball, wrestling and racquetball.

Other highlights of fall semester include the Homecoming festivities in which the chapter received a trophy for "Most Creative" float. Following the game, we enjoyed a fine turnout of alumni for a cocktail party at the house. Parents Weekend was held Oct. 18. Some of the brothers and their fathers played golf in the morning and many parents and brothers watched Hawkeye football in the afternoon at the house on a big -screen television. The highlight of the day was a cocktail party at the house followed by dinner at the Lark. There was a wonderful turnout and the parents seemed to be appreciative of the efforts put forth by the chapter.

Fall semester '86 proved to be more exciting than anticipated. A newly-renovated chapter house was awaiting occupancy in August for the largest house population ever. A special thanks to William Haas, '79, and our alumni board for their hard work and dedication on this project.

The start of every fall semester is Work Week Due to the construction work throughout the summer, a large task was at hand. It was all completed, however, and the time together allowed us all to reunite and get acquainted with our 18 new pledges. ·

The first and largest project of the year was Homecoming The week started off great as the pledge class won the spirit contest, "Yell Like Hell ." Game day proved to be a great success with an enormous turnout of alumni for the tailgate festivities and the victory over Wyoming. After the game, a steak dinner was enjoyed at the chapter house. The success of the weekend can be attributed to all the alumni who returned and to Mark Moine, '88, who organized the event.

The remainder of the semester , until midterms , was spent organizing activities that were to be held later on in the semester and

next spring. Our Veishea serenade, Top Float to the theme of Top Gun, was accepted by the women of Delta Delta Delta. Veishea ' 87 promises to be a great success . Varieties will take place in late November. With the women of Pi Beta Phi , we hope to bring the winning trophy home where it belongs.

As we swing into the final half of the semester , we realize our accomplishments and our goals With scholarship in the classroom and hard work in our other activities , we once again can prove that Tau Sigma and Beta Theta Pi are reaching their dream of chapter excellence.

'rne Beta Theta Pi/ Winter 1987

We are pleased to inform you that John B. Disher, '43, graciously has honored us by agreeing to serve as our new chapter advisor He takes the place of Donald Brown , '50, who guided the chapter so well over the past two years during our successful refounding efforts In addition, Edwin J (Ned) Galloway, '43, will be working with Brother Disher as our assistant chapter advisor. These men , as well as other area alumni, will work with the brothers during our second annual Alumni Phone-A-Thon slated for Nov 10 through 13.

Looking at convention news, Gamma Pi was awarded, for the second consecutive year, the Virginia Tech Award for the highest grades in the Great Lakes Region Furthermore , we received third place in the North Dakota Award competition for our outstanding newsletter, The Eye of Gamma Pi. It is evident that Gamma Pi's star is continuing to shine brightly in Beta's broad domain Although formal rush will not commence until the middle of January , Beta has pledged two transfer men, who, by being transfers, do not fall under regular rush rules We look forward to informing you of a successful formal rush this spring.

We are excited about the recent restoration of an award presented by the Beta Theta Pi Board of Trustees to then President Frank Hammer, '42, citing Gamma Pi chapter as being the outstanding Beta chapter in the nation. We were recognized specifically for "distinguished achievements during the college year 1939-1940 in scholarship, financial administration, classroom and campus cooperation, intramural athletics and general chapter accomplishment." This is being made possible through the generosity, of Dr and Mrs . George S. Stenger, parents of Timothy Stenger, '88.

Developing and training the mental powers has been an important mission for Gamma Pi over the years. If you support Lawrence University, you can assist us in this mission by earmarking your gift to Lawrence for the Beta Theta Pi Scholarship Fund so that it will benefit both worthy groups. The principal of your gift will increase the Lawrence endowment, while the interest will serve to increase our scholarship fund Furthermore, if you work for a company that participates in a matching gift program, your gift can be doubled or tripled in value.

We trust your Holiday Season will be joyous, and we invite you to visit us often in the new year (Timothy Stenger, '88, Corresponding Secretary)

LEHIGH

The fall semester on Old South Hill has been one of continued excellence at Beta Chi. Our scholastic, athletic, social and fraternal achievements continue to abound.

The physical structure continues to improve under our House Improvement Days President Brant Matthews , ' 87 , and House Manager Frank E (Ted) Walsh, '88 , directed the building , painting and refinishing of permanent fixtures in the dining room, library, bar, living room and cold dorm. This semiannual event is now in its fourth year and truly has improved the appearance of the house Athletically, we continue to perform well. Presently, we rank fifth out of 31 fraternities in intramurals and are moving upward.

Rush has been another strong point. Over 300 freshmen attended our Open House and interest has been very high. Included in this group are a number of legacies from both Le-

high and other schools.

Although in the past, we have not been strong scholastically, we are working hard and improving One great stride in this direction has been our development of academic teams Matching brothers with high grades with those who have lower grades in the same academic discipline has led to mutual assistance and improved grades This has been directed by Vice President and Scholarship Chairman Joseph Roche, '87

For those alumni who have not visited lately , we strongly encourage you to join us in April for our Fraternal Fifties Banquet. (Andrew Katz, '87, Secretary)

LOUISVILLE

Beta pride is running high at the University of Louisville! The Delta Pi chapter is celebrating its 15-year anniversary and enthusiasm never has been stronger.

In honor of the chapter's anniversary , the brothers held an Alumni Dinner. The celebration continued well into the night and proved to be a big success. Delta Pi is working hard to improve alumni relations and encourages all brothers to become involved with the chapter.

The highlight of the year had to be Beta Theta Pi's 147th General Convention Many brothers traveled across country to attend, including President Michael J. Sherman , '87 , and Sophomore Fellow John A. Mahoney, '88. At the convention, the Delta Pi chapter achieved its proudest moment since the charter was reinstated in 1983 Being a recipient of the coveted Sisson Award, one of only 12 given this year , the brothers are very honored and pleased. We especially are proud of the fact we were able to attain the award in only three years.

Another bright spot for us has been the emergence of Beta excellence in intramurals. Under the guidance of Robert W. Slater Ill, '88, we were able to make great improvements in this area, as evidenced by the fact we recently played in the finals of the school ' s softball tournament.

Under the watchful eye of Stephen D McCreary, Jr., '87, the pledge program is progressing smoothly. After a selective fall rush, we presented five young men with bids. These pledges have added greatly to the chapter, and, collectively, are responsible for many house improvements .

In closing, we remind all brothers passing through this area that they are welcome to stop by anytime. We always are pleased to meet brother Betas. (James 0. Cullen, '89, Corresponding Secretary)

, LYNCHBURG COLONY

The beginning of the fall semester has brought on many new challenges to the men of our colony We began by taking 15 pledges , each outstanding in his own way Since our current number is 11 , these pledges are quite a job

During our fall break on the weekend of Oct 18, we took a road trip to Ohio. Our route took us first to the University of Cincinnati , then to Bowling Green University and ended at Miami University We enjoyed ourselves at each stop and learned a great deal about the goals for which we need to strive . We thank our brothers at each chapter for allowing us to visit. We also thank those chapters that we were unable to visit this trip for their invitations

In my last report, I stated that " The administration is in opposition to our endeavors ." This is not completely accurate. I have since been informed of what actions our college is taking toward resolving the Greek issue. In early 1985, when our group started , the administration decided to investigate the possibility of instituting a Greek system . This was done, partially, as a request from our colony founders. The decision is a large one. It was explained to me that there are three alternatives being considered. First , a total Greek system be adopted Second, a Greek system be refused. Third , one fraternity and one sorority be selected for a trial period As we see it , our goals are clear. We must impress upon the college the value of Greek life for now and for the future. We need to demonstrate that not every fraternity is the same and that many have changed in the last 20 years. We must, by our actions , show that if option three is selected, that Beta is the only choice. And , we must maintain our numbers , organization and integrity in the meantime. Each of these goals must be pursued without claim of college affiliation , use of campus facilities and in the spirit of cooperation.

We thank our newest alumnus, Raymond Perkins, Virginia Tech '86, for volunteering to be our chapter Counselor. We look forward to his continued support and know that it will be a pleasure working with him.

As always, we welcome the support of the area alumni and invite any Betas passing near Lynchburg to visit. (Scott

W. Ortel, Virginia Tech '87, Secretary)

McGILL COLONY

The McGill colony of Beta Theta Pi has had an exciting and productive first six months. Since our initiation at St. Lawrence last March, (thanks again to the brothers of Beta Zeta), the 10 founding brothers have been hard at work establishing Beta's presence on campus. Patrick Buchholz, '87, and Bradley Wamboldt , '89, attended the 147th General Convention in Arizona . On our behalf they presented an 80-page petition for full colony status

Our fall rush was an intensive week of lunches, table-displays in the Student Center and a wonderful fresh pasta dinner with the girls of Gamma Phi Beta. This excellent rush was organized by Rush Chairman Robert Pajot , '88, and culminated in the pledging of nine quality gentlemen. The month of September also brought McGill's Open House where we participated in the Inaugural Parade and coordinated the Corn Roast in which 2,000 ears of corn were husked , cooked and served-not bad for 18 guys. On the eve of Halloween, McGill Betas , pledges and sweethearts , costumed and all , went to visit the Montreal Children's Hospital and helped to raise the spirits of sick children by singing, giving out balloons and generally spreading Beta spirit.

In intramural sports, we have joined with the girls of Kappa Alpha Theta for co-recreational volleyball. We are also just back from a weekend pledge retreat in the Ottawa Valley , as well as from Guelph for the installation of the Epsilon Zeta chapter. Congratulations brothers!

In closing, we take this opportunity to congratulate Gordon McKay Iowa State '18, on his 70 years as a Beta, and invite all local and visiting brothers and alumni to get involved with the colony in exciting Montreal. Give us

a call whether you live in Montreal or are just visiting for a short while

You always are welcome to call : Patrick Buchholz (514) 672-1330, Liam Kearns, '87, (514) 281-0933 , Bradley Wamboldt (514) 4831883 or write to: McGill Colony, c/o Patrick Buchholz , 238 Sanford , St-Lambert, Quebec, j4P 2X6. (W. Ian Palm, St. Lawrence '89, Patrick J. Buchholz , St. Lawrence '86)

MAINE

The fall semester was the best semester in recent memory for the Beta Eta chapter Not only have we maintained our grade point average of 2.5 , but we have become one of the outstanding fraternities on campus. We are also one of the few fraternities on campus not on probation this year. This is due to the outstanding leadership of President Mark Spurling, '87, and Vice President john Lamb, ' 88 Geoffrey Hoffman, '87 , has done an excellent job as treasurer, and in keeping our financial situation stable.

Three functions this semester have helped the morale of the brothers. Parents Weekend went very well, with a strong showing of parents and alumni that made the occasion very special. Homecoming Weekend was considered one of the best in recent memory. Administrative Assistant Mark Frame, Missouri '86, also joined us in this special event We had the strongest showing of alumni in many years, and the brothers thank them for making that weekend special. Finally, a Halloween Party, which was the biggest and best so far this year.

Our rush program is the strongest it has been ever Rush Chairman Eric Knott, '88, has done a fantastic job in getting 14 qucility pledges to make this pledge class one of the best in recent years. Eric also has provided new alternatives for a dry rush program that, so far , seems to be working .

In intramurals, the chapter is having its strongest showing ever. We are second among 17 fraternities for the B. B Kent Award, which honors the fraternity with the best participation in intramurals. Beta continues to have brothers and pledges in varsity sports Martin Glebus , '88, is a linebacker for the football team, John Lamb and Cornelius Russell, '87, are members of the rugby team and William Burns, '88, is a member of the tennis team.

Overall , Beta Eta is experiencing its finest year in six years , and is building a strong foundation for the years to come. (Donald Gray , '88, Secretary)

M.I.T.

The fall semester at Beta Upsilon began in grand style Despite a smaller freshman class and a more competitive rush, Rush Chairman MichaelS. Nadolny, '87 , led another successful Rush Week. Several parties stretching from Boston to Chicago highlighted the summer effort which led up to this year's Rush Week A total of 11 pledges have joined us , and, under the direction of Pledge Trainer Robert Scott Stull, ' 88 , they have proven to be very enthusiastic and eager

Rush Week was preceded by Work Week, and with the help of House Manager Kendall R. Bryan , ' 88 , much-needed work was completed on our two chapter houses Also completed during the week was the new Annex Pub , a fully equipped wet bar The pub was

made possible by the generous gift of Mi G. Feinstein, '82, and the hard work o £1 dall and Edward Schreyer, ' 87 The ad o of new carpet and wallpaper in the house during the summer was another r renovation which has helped to improv condition of the houses.

This fall, we were able to achieve s thing that has been lacking in recent ye· Beta Upsilon. Community Service Chai1 Michael Casagrande, '89, was able to o ; ize a house-wide community service prr Over three consecutive weekends, Betas pledges volunteered at the Saint Fr' House (shelter for the homeless) in down t Boston. The effort helped the Saint Fr < House start on a large renovation projec the future, we hope to continue our ' within the community.

Even though the General Convention "' good distance away, we sent two deleg: President Christopher Morgen, '87, and S omore Fellow Michael Casagrande

The social season at Beta has been a 1 success Social Chairman Kendall Bryan organized several parties which have h a keep up and enhance the reputation for parties. Vice President William H. Sa1 '87, organized a house trip to Bear B State Park earlier this fall. The day wa' joyed by all who attended , including B pledges and guests.

Again this year, Beta is well-represente t several intercollegiate teams, including Cl country , gymnastics , crew, soccer , baske skiing and track. The fall intramural seasc I highlighted by our football and soccer tea1

If you are wondering about anything he Beta Upsilon, we extend a cordial invita to all Betas to drop by and pay us a whenever they are in the Boston area. (Ro R. Boye , ' 88, Secretary)

MIAMI

As we began preparation for this article, a. the usual facts were gathered to be repo ll' facts compiled in an impressive array as Alpha chapter shines on high. And , altho facts paint a subjective picture, they nonetheless , an accurate portrayal of chapter's current standing.

From an aesthetic perspective, 200 I High St., never has looked better. It is b y coincidence that with our 150th anniver1 just three years away , host Miami is uncle! ing a facelift. With the instrumental as ! ance of our housemother , Barbara (M Smith, the living room has received new ' pets, couches and lamps, and the library been refurbished completely

With the aid of john Czyzycki , ' 87 , the e rior of the house was maintained through the summer. We returned to a well-groo rr lawn and an impressive landscape . So maintained was the job, that the grounds ; were in order at Homecoming It was "' these little touches-new furniture , a neat l terior and a tent party in our courtyard , t we were able to host one of the more me1 rable homecomings ,in recent Alpha hist u And, don't think that the parents wen impressed with Alpha's new look. A el l and comfortable fraternity house usually1 thought impossible by the typical parent, ! this year we delivered one to them for P ents Weekend. Happy parents are generc parents.

On a less formal note , the social calem fall semester has been quite rigorous. Hi1

lghts incl u ded our annual Bacchanalia ad,enture- Mount Ol ympus. Details are sketchy 1t best. O n the other hand, we also hosted our irst Beta Cocktail Hour A quintet of Miami nusic professors provided the jazz for this :oat and tie affair Everyone enjoyed the Jreak from the kegs and crowds scene.

Athletically, the Alpha chapter returned to :ampus with great aspirations; however, little JY little, our aspirations have turned sour. A llrong showing by Pledge Steven Moats in the narathon and triathlon events during Greek Neek, along with a third place in the most 1rueling of all events-puddle pull, gave early ndications of promise. Unfortunately, our uck didn't hold out, and we must humbly reJOrt a fifth place finish. On similar notes have Jur football and softball teams finished, so we 1re forced to wait and hope for the winter 1 ;ports

We feel as though the strength of the chapter s approaching its potential. The physical coniition of the house obviously is an indicator, ' 1et so too are several other areas - which until 1 -ecently have been reviewed as weaknesses. )cbolastically, we have experienced four con;ecutive semesters of improvement, and we ue capable of but one more improvement'rom second to first in GPA on campus. Keep , 1our fingers crossed! Diplomatically, the chap:er has improved a great deal as well. Recent relati ons between the alumni and the underchapter have been superb . Several (ears ago an intense rivalry existed, but, under recent officers, many gaps have been bridged. J President Allan Beam, '87, Vice President Brim Borden, '87, Treasurer Stuart Frankel, '87, md Secretary John Czyzycki should all be :ornmended for a job well done as they near :he end of their terms.

We extend a special thanks to Mom Smith, Jur cook Loretta Toole, and the housing :ompany for all they've done to make our surroundings more like home. We are encour3ged by their support and only can hope that the above will continue to get better as we 1989.

It's never too late for rush recommendations. They should be sent to Rush Chairman fohn O'Neil, '88, 200 E. High St., Oxford, OH t5056. (J e ffrey S chwab, '87, Corresponding Secretory and Mich a el (Mickey) Prisley, '87)

MICHIGAN

5 fhe new fall semester once again brought the ·arnbda chapter a fine pledge class. Numberng 19, the class ranks as the largest on camJus, continuing the growth and strength of :he past years.

Also highlighting the first semester was the 1 nitiation of 21 new actives. These new devel>prnents, coupled with the continuing con;fruction of the new house, have given a new mnse of Beta pride to the chapter . 1 1 Concerning the house, completion is schedlled for Jan. 1, however, 30 brothers have ieen residing in the living portion since the Jeginning of October.

J Thanks to the effort of Alumni Secretary [Qhn Pappas, '87, we enjoyed a successful F'raternal Fifties Celebration and Parents Day. fhese events were held on Nov. 1 during Progress Day, an opportunity for all alumni md parents to see how our new chapter ' nouse has developed . Nine brothers were J nonored for their distinguished service as Lambda Betas and Fraternal Fifties. The re;ipients were George B. Martin, '29, R Jarni1 Williams, ' 29, Robert W Manley, '29, ,

Paul E . Minsel, '29, Walter P. Colwell, '29, Austin A. Webb, '34, Burlin H Ackles, Jr., '34, Donald E. Charlesworth, '35, and Parker F. Stetson, '36.

Due to the continuing construction, we have not been able to have social events within our chapter house. Still, with the ingenuity of our social chairman, we have enjoyed numerous cocktail hours, a Yacht Club party, and a Halloween Bash with the lovely ladies of Alpha Phi.

As always, we are enjoying our participation in intramural events. We had a disappointing loss in the softball finals but managed to finish second overall. We look forward to continued success in basketball and Greek Week.

Many thanks to the parents and alumni for their guidance and support. As always, the brothers welcome and appreciate their visits to the chapter at any time so they too can share in our new direction.

MICHIGAN STATE

Gamma Psi Betas returned fall semester to many improvements Plans were formed spring term and the work done throughout the summer months included the replacement of new railroad tie walls surrounding the house, a new refrigerator and a new stove But the biggest improvement was the installation of new windows. With the help of the General Fraternity, this dream, which we had on our agenda for a long time, came true. The house improvements have the Michigan State Betas excited for the 1986-87 academic year.

Homecoming '86 was a complete success. The day included brunch, a football game, afternoon social and a pig roast to end an enjoyable day of festivities . Many alumni returned and were impressed by the brotherhood spirit that continues to maintain the house and remains strong on campus.

Academically , we did extremely well spring semester Out of 32 fraternities in the Greek system, we finished seventh with an overall house G.P.A. of 2.7. Special commendations go to Charles (Chip) Field, '87, who won the in-house scholarship award by achieving a grade point average of 3.7, and to Corey Bordine, '89, who won the out-of-house award by achieving an average of 4.0.

Athletically, the race for the IFC All-Sports Trophy already has begun, and we are destined to capture it this year. Football, tennis and bowling are off to excellent starts - we expect strong finishes in all.

Fall term also starts the year off for rush. We took 11 pledges whom we feel will make fine additions to the chapter

In closing, Beta brotherhood thrives here, and our door always is open. Please feel free to stop in and say hello-we'd like to have you (Christopher B. Sixt, '88, Secretary)

MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE COLONY

Fall is traditionally an exciting time for the Middle Tennessee colony, and this fall has been no exception. The Beta spirit has been on our campus as our accomplishments become better known

All the excitement began before convention. Five of our brothers were able to make the trip to Arizona and came back with a lot of good ideas and a renewed drive to get our charter next year. We congratulate Herbert

Blair , '87, for winning the song competition. His song, Beta Praise, now will appear in the song books.

Our fall rush was very successful. We pledged 12 good men, making our class one of the largest of the 13 campus fraternities. The first pledge class project was a Homecoming Mum Sale. The pledges worked very hard and raised over $250 which is already the largest amount a pledge class has raised in our short history at MTSU. We express our deepest appreciation to Henry Phillips, Tennessee '79, for donating his time and the use of his flower shop.

This was the 75th anniversary celebration for MTSU, making Homecoming '86 very special. We participated in many events , placing fourth in Fight Song, Activities Day and the Banner Contest. The week was highlighted by the announcement that the lovely ladies of Alpha Delta Pi had accepted our invitation to work with us on Homecoming next year. This is a big step for us because it is only the second time we have participated in Homecoming with a sorority and Alpha Delta Pi is one of the largest and best on campus

We are continuing to gain respect on the athletic field. Our football team finished with a very respectable 3-3 season, and placed two men on the Greek All -Star team Our golf team won the intramural competition and our volleyball team is expected to do well also.

Vice President Kenneth Ventimiglia, '87, has planned a new philanthropy for us during the holiday season We will be presenting a Christmas program for the senior citizens in the area. We feel this will improve our community relations as well as fulfill our philanthropy obligation. Also, Michael Jameson, ' 87, took individual honors in the MTSU Alumni Phone -A-Than while the fraternity finished 2nd overall.

Our greatest achievement this semester has come in house improvements. We have installed a modern kitchen and paneled one room. We have finished remodeling the bathrooms and in the spring, we will begin to paint the outside. By May, our house will be the most practical to live in as well as the most beautiful on campus.

We invite you to come down to Tennessee and see us. We are progressive, proud and looking forward to next summer's convention. (Terry Carroll, '87, Secretary)

MINNESOTA

Things are going well at the Beta Pi chapter We are coming off one of the more successful summers of recent memory Our biggest project of the summer undoubtedly has been our living room A strong chapter effort was needed, and received , to complete the stripping and restaining of the walls. The wood now looks much better than before. Also our alumni recently have completed plans for new carpet and some new furniture for this room

The living room was completed in time for our campus formal rush program, which was our plan Rush went well this fall. The Minnesota Betas have added 15 new pledges to our ranks . Our chapter room also was redone this past summer. Thanks for this go mostly to John Bordewich, '87 , who drew up the plans and organized the construction. A new carpet and new walls were added. Our chapter room now looks like the shrine it is .

We are excited about intramurals The

chapter is coming off a third place finish in last year's competition. We feel that with a little hard work, we easily can improve our standings. Grade-wise, Beta Pi is sitting about the middle of the 16 fraternities on campus. We are working hard to improve our standing in the area of academics.

At this writing, Homecoming has just ended. The Minnesota Gophers won the game, which added greatly to the festivities. The Betas made a respectable showing in this year's competition. We thank all of the alumni that joined in the fun.

Beta Pi's centennial year-1989 is just three short years away. Many people are starting to make plans for this great event. The Minnesota Betas already are gearing up for this celebration. And, it promises to be a very good one. (Gregg Robinson, '88, Secretary)

MISSISSIPPI

The fall semester started off very well for the men at the Beta Beta chapter. We began the term by initiating seven pledges from the semester before, as well as welcoming our new housemother, Mrs. Mary Temple, of Tupelo, Miss.

Rush proved to be a wonderful success as we added 34 new pledges to our roll, due to our great alumni support as well as the hard work and dedication put forth by Rush Chairmen K. Kevin Whittington, '87, and James W. Eubanks, '88. We formally thank all of those who helped, and encourage you to continue to do so in the future.

The intramural season kicked off with, of course, football. Both Beta teams did quite well this year. The house active team finished with a 6-2 mark, third over-all. And the Legion of Doom boasted an excellent record of 9-1. Its only loss coming down to the championship game against campus independents. As well as football , the men of Beta Beta excelled in soccer, water polo and basketball. Eric Tschirhart, '88 , won the championship horse competition.

Of course, our social life is doing well as expected. With three on-campus ball games, our weekends have been very exciting here at the Country Club of the South We have thoroughly enjoyed our sorority swaps, as well as our annual Little Sister Halloween party.

Knowing our major emphasis is not on our social life, the brothers and pledges have been maintaining a high C.P.A. Midterm grades were quite outstanding. Kevin Whittington was selected as a member of Who's Who Among Students at Old Miss.

James McGinnis, '87, is a candidate for Colonel Rebel, an award given to only one outstanding student a year. The brothers welcome back two varsity cheerleaders, W. Scott Simmons, '88, and Jaimie McGinnis. Congratulations to Mark Nicholas , '89, for being selected to the junior varsity squad.

With elections coming up in late November, we extend our congratulations to those officers who have served us well in the past year, as well as tidings of good luck for those who will serve us in the year to come.

We look forward to a great spring and expect to initiate all 34 pledges. We thank our alumni for their continued support, and we hope to see more of them in the coming spring. (Peter Straw , '87 , Corresponding Secretary)

Led by John Fostt Kansas '76, the alumni conducted a campai which netted our housing fund an astoundi amount of money. Their generosity and Ia for Beta inspire us all.

In addition, the brothers of the Kansas St< chapter showed us a sterling example of t meaning of a national fraternity. They, li our area alumni, contributed a signific.,. monetary gift to our colony. More impQ andy, however, they added to our sense of l longing to the fraternity as a whole.

As a part of this fraternity, we are proud ! add 16 men to the pledge rolls. Paul Gaug1 Missouri '91, chaired our summer and rushes with intense work and loving dey tion. As a result, we dominated fall rush. U der the university's new "Match" progra1 we obtained 85% of those pledges we judg! worthy of Beta.

fhe Eta chapter enjoyed what was probably :he best rush program of any fraternity on ; ampus this fall. From an initial rush list of tbout 130 names, the chapter actively rushed 70-80 rushees, of which 16 quality young nen were welcomed into the house as Jledges. The strength of this year ' s rush has Jeen due to the efforts of Rush Chairmen 'ohn Mason, ' 88 , and J. LeGrande Hayes , '89 , ' .vho worked extremely hard to achieve this mccess, of which the chapter is very proud The chapter is currently as integrated, and is positive , as it possibly ever has been, not-

withstanding the continued ge ographical diversity and the wide-ranging extracurricular interests of the brotherhood. As usual, the academic quality of the house remains high , and, at this juncture, the chapter extends thanks to Dr Herbert Cooper for his services as faculty advisor

Of the initia l concerns of the chapter, the efforts to keep to Beta traditions rank highe st. Allied to this has been a renewed energy to maintain closer ties with the alumni. This has been masterminded by James Kitchen, ' 88, and through his efforts, the house looks forward to an Alumni Reunion Weekend , at which we hope many alumni will enjoy the cocktail party, semiformal dinner and golf, which have been specially arranged around this home football weekend.

Athletically, the chapter remains involved in all sports with first place finishes in intramural football and racquetball, and second place in softball We also look forward to success in soccer.

Socially, the chapter continues to remain active, although the house recogni z es its responsibilities viz the new alcohol laws (Edward Raine , '87, Corresponding Se cretary)

The Gamma Kappa chapter is on its way to an excellent school year . This fall , we will attempt to defend our title as the fraternity with the highest overall grade point average on campus Rush activities proved to be very successful. The annual pig roast on Beta Day tastefully started the new school year. Many other activities and events during formal rush also contributed to attracting 14 pledges. Congratulations go to two pledges we activated earlier this fall.

Intramural participation and support is outstanding. Gamma Kappa has been represented successfully in every intramural sport and we have gained league respect for our great sportsmanship. Beta involvement in varsity sports and campus club sports also is impressive Cross-country, football , track and field, soccer and lacrosse teams see among them top competitors from the house Homecoming went very well this year We pleased everyone at the parade with one of the best floats this campus has seen in yearsa 12-foot-tall Beta Dragon! After a week of

Homecoming activities, it was a pleasure to entertain such a strong alumni force. A formal dance with the alumni and a brunch the following day allowed everyone to meet each other and share in conversation. A handsome portrait of Donald Loepp, ' 48 , was presented in gratitude of his support and dedication to the house throughout the ye ars. We all appreciated his presence and the pres e nce of others who traveled long distances for the ceremony. The company of the alumni present was enjoyed by everyone. During Homecoming , we also managed to raise the money needed to replace the livin g room carpet and possibly start some refurnishing or redecorating. Thanks go out to everyone who contributed.

As always, our house is open to all fellow Betas. If you're in the area , we ' d love it if you stopped by (Pledge Chad A. Krick, Secretory)

With the leaves turning red and gold , the men of Theta Delta returned with a new determination to excel in all areas of our chapter activities for the fall of 1986

We pursued an active rush program over the summer with the intentions of pledging a select group of young men who will follow us with renewed Beta spirit and determination to make our chapter the best on campus.

We are pleased to report that we have

pledged, as of this date, 24 new men from all areas of our state and country that possess the qualities that we desire to continue the proud traditions of our past history. We will continue an active rush program throughout the fall and winter so that by spring our numbers will be sufficient to meet all of the demands made on our fraternity here in Buckeye land

We are excited and enthused with our new officers. They are as follows: F Robert Skiddle , '87, president; Eric J. Giese, '87, vice president; John M. Kerzman, '87, treasurer ; Graham D. Guthrie, '88, pledge educator ; Wade H. Thorson, ' 88, social chairman ; and Timothy R Bartlett, '88, rush chairman

Under the leadership of our new president , we have refurbished the chapter house and developed a sense of brotherhood through that endeavor by having a work session with both undergraduate brothers and new pledges, so that the spirit of Beta can begin to grow among the new young men that we have brought into the chapter

Our scholarship from last spring improved greatly , and we are pleased to report that we now stand much higher in our overall academic competition and will continue to improve that throughout this year.

We are pleased to be having a GraduateBrother Dinner on Nov. 26 We thought it would help increase the sense of cooperation and brotherhood between the alums and undergrads to have a social function and invite our graduate brothers to meet the new pledges, as well as to renew those relationships with existing graduate brothers that were started last spring It is our hope that many of our alumni will be able to return and spend some time renewing their ties to Beta Theta Pi and that together, we will continue to build a better chapter for those who will follow and have pride and respect for what Beta has meant to so many men from this chapter in the past.

Our thanks go out to those many graduate brothers who have worked with us over the past six months in all areas of chapter activities. We particularly thank our alumni board which has contributed many hours of its time to advising and assisting us in chapter operations that will benefit all concerned for the coming year.

As the autumn leaves begin to .fall from the beautiful trees that guard Beta Rho, the brothers will begin a very successful year.

Actives arrived early in September to see the r enov ations of the house, and added their share of painting and scrubbing to ready the house for what would become the strongest rush program in years. With the hard work and intensity that rush chairmen D Bartholomew Ferguson , '88, and Jeffrey Selis , ' 88 , put together, the chapter recently invited 31 pledges to enter Beta Rho. Also, with the addition of our 10 spring term pledges, the grand total of 41 pledges ranks first among all the other fraternities on campus A special "Thank You" is extended to Barry Jordan, Wichita State '6 9, and Austin Colcord, '65, for their greatly appreciated help during the entire rush week.

Earlier this fall , the Betas welcomed a new face to the ever-growing chapter. The induction of our new housemother (first one on the U of 0 campus), Ann Frymoyer , marks a turning point for our chapter. We welcome her warmly. With the addition of newly-elected scholarship chairman, Murphy Dysart , ' 86, the pursuit of academic excellence has been greatly increased, due to the strong support of actives and pledges during weekly study tables. Members escort the pledges to the main library where they spend three hours a night , three times a week studying.

In the middle of November, the Betas will hold the second annual Ferguson/Murphy Beer Run T-shirts will be distributed to all running participants with their names inscribed on them. All proceeds go to St. Vincent Depaul 's Alcoholic Treatment Center. Parents Weekend also is slated for midNovember Along with having the delicious spaghetti feed, it should be a great time for the parents of the pledges and actives to meet and get to know each other on a more personal basis. With the addition of our housemother's living quarters , we also built a new party room for the brothers to enjoy.

PURDUE

he start of a new school year has brought on , year of transition for Beta Mu The chapter 1 as an optimistic outlook for the coming Jring semester. Behind the strong leadership f President Marc Warrick, '88, and with the I Jpport of our alumni board, the chapter has nproved in several areas

' The board has set up an extensive scholar: lip program which will provide cash awards 1r the men with the highest grades in each ledge class , but only if the entire pledge lass achieves a certain grade average The igher the average of each pledge class , the I igher the rewards The brothers also have ' nplemented quiet hours in the house Sunday !rough Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 .m.

The house will be seeing some improvetents in the near future. The Burn Room will ' e remodeled into a new library over the hanksgiving holiday. The alumni board will : putting nearly $15 ,000 into the building of

the library, which not only will give the brothers an additional place to study but will add to the overall beauty of the house.

With these improvements , the Beta Mu chapter house will remain one of the finest chapter hous e s in th e country

Beta Mu also has been well-represented in athletics. Scott Kalinoski, ' 89, and John McRoberts, '89, are members of the Boilermaker football team.

We hope all of you will have a chance to stop in and see the many house improvements and meet some of the in -house brothers. (Michael R. Matheny, ' 88 , Secretary)

RUTGERS

The fall semester turned out to be a period of transition for Beta Gamma With the exit of some excellent leaders and the increased enforcement of New Jersey alcohol and hazing regulations, it was time for the Rutgers Betas to analyze thoroughly any existing practices or policies. It was no longer possible for the brotherhood to rely on its past reputation . In order for the fraternity to remain successful , a plan of implementing new ideas and improvements was set into action. Winning the Sisson Award for chapter excellence became the highest priority

To start, the pledge program was changed radically. To conform to new stricter hazing laws, the brotherhood totally eliminated hazing of any form, even if it meant sacrificing years of tradition. Then, we began the unenviable task of finding an acceptable yet mean-

ingful substitute. With the help of university officials and Administrative Assistant Mark R. Frame , Missouri '86, the brothers, led by President Richard Sapia, '87 , and Pledge Trainers Lawrence Steinfeld , ' 88 , and Thomas Hoskins, ' 88 , created a vastly improved program. For example , pledge reviews were instituted which provided a more constructive individual approach. These reviews gave each of the 12 pledges a chance to communicate their opinions (positive or negative) in a confidential manner. Also, the chapter was able to present serious , worthwhile criticism to the pledges in a relaxed atmosphere. Other improvements included the addition of new songs to reinforce singing as an integral part of pledging, mandatory study hours and a more important pledge father-pledge son relationship.

Next, increased alumni involvement remained high on the chapter ' s priority list. Beta Gamma welcomed the appointment of Nicholas Namias , '85, as alumni counselor. Brother Namias and a team of younger brothers worked together to organize an Alumni Banquet in honor of those brothers celebrating their Fraternal Fifties Hopefully the banquet will become a yearly tradition

A concern of both the actives and alumni is the condition and maintenance of our house A more concentrated effort was put forth by the entire brotherhood to make 50 Union Street the best it can possibly be Floors were waxed, walls stripped and refinished, landscape groomed and ceilings repaired . Anything that could be accomplished within existing financial limits was undertaken.

Homecoming '86 brought a fair amount of alumni back to the "Banks of the ' ol Raritan" as the Rutgers Scarlet Knights crushed the Bearcats of Cin c innati on a beautiful Saturday afternoon The Beta tailgate was ? great time despite kegs being officially banned at Rutgers Stadium

Fall 1986 was a learning and growing period for the Betas of Rutgers With the determination of Beta Gamma's officers and the

ST. LAWRENCE

The brothers of Beta Zeta have returned to their house after a two-year hiatus. With dorm life now a distant memory, 40 of the 43 active brothers are living and eating in the house.

Clearly, the Beta Zetas have earned the right to return . The chapter is currently one of only two fraternities in good standing with the university. The deans of Students and of Student Affairs as well as the housing director have all praised the brothers for their excellent conduct so far this year, both in and out of the house. Financially, the chapter has made an about face and is on solid ground again.

So far, biweekly house audits by the housing office have given glowing praise to the condition and cleanliness of the house. With a new sign out front from Old Gray, as well as a new pool table and basketball hoop, the Beta Zetas are taking strides to return the house to peak condition.

Several faculty members and administrators have been invited over for dinner, with more such events planned in the future . The local Cancer Run-a-than saw Beta Zetas running continuously for eight hours, raising a few hundred dollars for cancer research. Coming up soon are a Halloween Party for local children and a food drive and dinner for the poor in Canton.

Parent ' s Weekend proved to be a complete success. Vice President Richard Tompkins, '87, chaired the campus Parent ' s Weekend Committee and everything ran to perfection. A tailgate party, cocktail hour at the house and dinner downtown gave parents and brothers a chance to get acquainted and have a good time.

The Beta fire truck once again is patrolling the SLU campus. After some repair work , the big red machine once again is spreading the Beta Zeta message across campus . An excellent Hats & Shades Party and '50s Homecoming Bash allowed many alumni the chance to see the house and mingle with new brothers (David Howe, ' 87, Corresponding Secretory)

SAN DIEGO STATE

The young and proud tradition at Epsilon Beta continues to grow and strengthen as the fall semester brings an end to another beautiful San Diego summer, and the beginning of a new school year. As the winter temperatures begin to dip into the sixties, Beta stands as one of the most prominent and respected fraternities on the SDSU campus.

This can be partly attributed to our newly refurbished apartment complex . The facility has been painted and upgraded with shutters, a new bar and a volleyball court. Special thanks go to House Manager Donald Horn, ' 84 , and his assistant, Michael D' Alessandro, '87, for their efforts in leading the brothers in these home improvements, and to President Barry Madosky, ' 86 , for his part in the acquisition of the building.

The recent fall rush was a learning experience for all as it was the first dry rush at SDSU The efforts of Rush Chairman Thomas Singer , '88, produced 14 fine young pledges. These quality individuals should prove to be great assets to the chapter

When the previous spring's grades were posted, Beta returned to its familiar spot, ON TOP. We look forward to continued academic success, and the efforts of Scholarship Chairman Pledge Michael VanVoorhees will, no doubt, help us in this endeavor

Among Beta's flourishing successes was athletic excellence. The flag football season helped us to a good start toward the IFC sports banner as the team finished third. Under the leadership of Jeffrey Sloan, ' 86, Beta was impressive, including a dominating victory over Sigma Chi. The coming soccer season is looked upon with great anticipation.

While maintaining excellence in all other phases of college life, social events were no exception. The young school year already has brought exchanges with many of SDSU's top sororities. Our social calendar, as always, includes such standards as TGIF's and our Fall Cocktail. The coming formal promises to be a memorable one for all brothers and their lovely dates as Social Chairman Eric Strobel, '88, continues his bang-up job. The recent little sister rush was a phenomenal success thanks to the diligence of Lil' Sis Liaison T. Robert Holmes, ' 87

Our growing chapter welcomes all forms of alumni support, as our doors always are open to all brothers. We wish all chapters great success throughout the year (William A. Elmste dt, '88, Corresponding Secretory)

SOUTH DAKOTA

Gamma Alpha took on a new look during the summer, due to the efforts of those outstanding brothers who stayed in Vermillion. In addition to the usual maintenance needed, these individuals also undertook the restaining of the entire house. The arrival of the new school year saw the activation of 10 new brothers. Our rush chairman, Patrick Roach, '88, deserves a bouquet of roses for an outstanding rush which yielded the pledging of 22 fine young men .

Last year, we set a goal of attaining a house GPA of 2.85. At a recent all-Greek scholastics banquet, it was announced that Gamma Alpha chapter not only bettered its goal by achieving a 2.86, but that it also moved from a ranking of fifth place to that of third place amongst fraternities on campus. This year, we have set a goal for first semester of a house GPA of 2.90 . Financially , we are moving ahead as well. At the 147th General Convention, Gamma Alpha received an excellent financial rating and an A rating overall.

Homecoming brought the attendance of many prestigious alumni from all over the United States. However, this year, things had to be run a little differently due to new regulations concerning drinking and fraternities. Our delegate to the Interfraternity Council, Casey Connell, '88, along with the much-appreciated help of our chapter advisor, Scott Iverson, '79, has done a great deal to help determine what changes need to be made to our drinking policy with the prospect of South Dakota's drinking age being changed from 19 to 21 in the near future

Last year, we took our turn to sit out of the annual Strollers talent competition. This year, we plan to continue our tradition of winning

with the help of the women of Chi Omegf

STANFORD

ange is in the air at the Lambda Sigma use Really. Guys are just digging in their ckets for quarters, dimes and chucking lm around. After a month of that, we found ' had enough for a new refrigeration sysn, a new coat of paint downstairs and Ttrts for our scantily clad pledges .

3ut we haven't been able to put a stop to the ange. For whatever reason, there is a differ! attitude in the house this year. At the Gent!

We have a buddy, Clay Anrson, Missouri '86, who drops by to eat, talk d tutor us on Beta protocol.

STEVENS

The Sigma chapter currently is enjoying an upward trend in all respects We have maintained our prowess in sports and the house GPA is very competitive in a rigorous academic program. At the start of the fall semester, we were in first place in sports overall, mainly due to our softball championship. The chapter also boasts many important school leaders including the editor of the school newspaper and the secretary of the IFC.

Social activities also have been on an upswing. The Sigma Ball was resumed in the spring with a good alumni turnout. The traditional end of the semester Beefsteak Charlie's Run provided a great time and our Hawaiian Luau was a major success The chapter also was in the center of activities during Boken '86 , and was chosen to host the IFC Spring Sports Dance.

Physically, the house continues to be improved with new electrical wiring and the return of the Beta dragon. We miss our graduating seniors and continue to wish the best of luck to Peter Ahimovic , Douglas Lionetti , Christopher DiGerolmo , Peter Zampardi, Frank Guido and Mark Kudlacik

The brothers always enjoy seeing and meeting faces from the past and invite any alumni to visit the house at any time . (Steven LaFavor, '88, Corresponding Secretary

SYRACUSE

The Beta Epsilon chapter began the fall term with an enthusiasm unsurpassed in recent years. Backed by President James Albert, '87 , the brotherhood's spirit carried the house through a semester of excellent rush, intramural, social and scholastic programs.

At the top of the list of this fall ' s endeavors were house improvements . With the funds from a new mortgage , the house underwent numerous renovations which included new furniture, new roof and a new fire alarm system. These and countless other house improvements left Beta Epsilon with an exciting new look

Rush was another triumph for the Beta house. Eleven fine young men were pinned Thanks must be given to Rush Co-Chairmen Andrew Kass, '88, and W Robert Hannah , '89, for their hard work in promoting a successful rush program

The Beta Epsilon chapter also showed its strength in both academics and intramural sports. The brotherhood was ranked #2 out of the 26 fraternities on campus in overall GPA The house football team, led by standouts , Michael Bisceglia, '87, and Tore Carlson, '86 , won its division and good showings were made by both the softball and wrestling teams.

Homecoming Weekend proved to be one of the highlights of the semester. This annual event featured the chapter's fall formal and the S.U -Navy football game , which was followed by a buffet at the house. Both events were enjoyed by the many attending alumni and the current members of the house Social Co- Chairmen Rob Hannah and William Trahan, '89, should both be thanked for their hard work in organizing the affair.

Riding high on the crest of a successful fall term, Beta Epsilon looks forward to many more outstanding semesters to come. (John P. Bachman, '88, Corresponding Secretary)

TENNESSEE TECH COLONY

Fall quarter promises to be the best in our short history, beginning last quarter with the attainment of the highest GPA among brothers of fraternities. During rush, six young men, all of excellent quality , pledged our brotherhood. With their scholarship and spirit, they will add much to our colony.

We are quite busy with many activitiesparties , serenades and a golf tournament for United Way We also have instituted a progressive scholastic program which includes study sessions and tutoring for those needing help. Thus, with a balance of activities and scholarship, we are trying to build a wellrounded organization.

With each quarter, we gain more strength and organization. With a successful rush, next quarter promises to be spectacular also. The future looks bright as we attempt to build not only a good fraternity, but a great brotherhood (Wayne T. Simmons, Centre '89)

TEXAS

The 100th year of the Beta Omicron chapter got off to a tremendous start with a well-attended centennial celebration. Held over the weekend of Oct. 24-25, the festivities were attended by chapter alumni , alumni of other chapters residing in Austin, parents of actives and pledges, and members and pledges of the chapter and their dates The celebration began Friday night with a Reception and Casino Party that featured exciting prizes, including a weekend for four at South Padre Island. On Saturday , the chapter hosted a barbecue cookout prior to the football game with SMU. (We send our deepest sympathies to the Gamma Omega chapter.)

Saturday night , we held a buffet and dance in the Crystal Ballroom of the historic Driscoll Hotel, featuring a towering ice sculpture of Wooglin. The Honorable John J Rhodes, Kansas State '38, President of the General Fraternity, graced us with words of encouragement and congratulations. Other notables in attendance included Burton W. Folsom, Nebraska '49, former General Secretary; George Schneider, '57, President of the Texas Beta Student Aid Fund (TBSAF); and Michael Eubank, ' 81, our new District Chief The active chapter was pleased with the large turnout of alumni and family, which included Fraternal Fifties Robert M. Rutledge, '40, and William K. Rutledge, ' 41. We shared many entertaining stories, renewed old friendships and formed new ones , showing that the feeling of Beta brotherhood transcends the years

The revelry came to a close early the following morning with a feeling of " high onkai-" throughout the ballroom. The event was so successful, there is talk of an annual reunion. This fine weekend of celebration and brotherhood would not have been possible without the hard work of many individuals , including George Schneider, President Charlton B Hadden, ' 87 , and Alumni Chairman James Bone, '89.

This centennial year marks an important period in the history of Beta Omicron Plans finally have been completed for a thorough renovation of the chapter house . Through the successful completion of the first phase of fund-raising, construction was scheduled to begin in late November, with completion next August, just in time for formal rush. In the interim, we are situated in a temporary facility

on the north side of campus. This enables us to have a place for chapter meetings, chapter dinners, pledge meetings and so forth

The chapter , under the able guidance of Ben Hadden, has embarked on a program of committees , each with a focus on one aspect of chapter activities, to increase the individual participation of members With the support and assistance of alumni, such as Page S. Foshee, ' 77, and James Trulove, Illinois '69, the chapter is moving ahead in the areas of scholarship, campus activities , intramural sports and leadership The chapter had a productive fall rush and expects to have equal success in the spring.

The fall pledge class is excelling in scholarship and athletics. Led by Intramural Chairman Chance McGee, '87, Beta Omicron succeeded in qualifying most of its teams for playoffs The coordinated and diligent efforts of Social Chairmen Kirk Claunch , '88, and John Lee, '88, have resulted in a social calendar abounding with mixers or major social functions every week

Again, we thank all of the alumni for their support of the centennial weekend and the renovation of the house Furthermore, we extend an open invitation to any Beta who finds himself in Central Texas to come by , enjoy the hospitality and brotherhood , and see the plans for the house renovation.

TEXAS A& M

The summer and fall have been an exciting experience for the men of the new Epsilon Eta chapter. After a year of learning the ways of Beta Theta Pi , a lot of hard work and cooperation within our colony , we were able to compile a petition for charter and present it at the 147th General Convention in Scottsdale, Ariz John (Jay) Clark , '87 , president , Jon (Brady) Wilkins, ' 87, social chairman , and Jerry Price , '87 , rush chairman, attended the

convention, presented our petition and graciously accepted the upgrading of our status from a colony to the Epsilon Eta chapter We extend a world of appreciation to Dr. Paul Van Riper , DePauw ' 38 , for his guidance and support that made it possible for us to achieve such an honor We also thank Robert Crawford, ' 86, David Halvorson, ' 87, and Jay Clark for all of their time and energies which they put into the petition and the chapter.

Jerry Price took full advantage of the momentum, coming off the convention and the enthusiasm that was generated throughout our chapter , to master a ' highly successful fall rush in which we pledged 22 of the finest men that Texas A & M has to offer. Rush at Texas A & M is becoming extremely competitive; however, we have not had any trouble pledging large numbers of men worthy of upholding the ideals and values of Beta Theta Pi. Thanks to Jerry, we have the finest pledge class in our seven-year history as a brotherhood

Jon Wilkins did an outstanding job in coordinating our social activities The major event of the fall semester was Woogie Week, a week full of brotherhood and fun which ended with our annual Bourbon Street Bash and an Alumni/Parents Barbecue The pledges provided the entertainment by singing a medley of songs which they had learned in order to participate in the Chi Omega Songfest the following week. Unfortunately, they did not fare as well at the competition as they did at the barbecue. Good times were had by all as we were able to see old friends and bring our parents up to date on the present status and activities of our chapter. We also were able to raise some funds which will be needed as we continue our attempt to obtain land upon which we can build a house to further solidify our position in the Greek community. At this time , we express our appreciation to our parents and alumni for their support. Congratulations to Brother Wilkins and Robert Beard, ' 87 , for a job well done

David Halvorson , pledge trainer, an Curzan, '87 , have been working hard mester to prepare our pledges for initi They have coordinated many have served to unify the pledge class a1 crease the bond of brotherhood amon men. Under David and Mark's guidanc pledges have learned what it takes to b future leaders of our fine fraternity.

We continued our winning traditic sports as we took first place in the se annual Sigma Chi -Zeta Tau Alpha Sg Tournament. In intramurals, we have consistently strong showings in most c sports in which we have participated.

As mentioned above, we presently ar gaged in the process of obtaining financi order to purchase land. Although we done extremely well without a house, W I that a house is necessary to the f1 strength of our chapter, and, conseqm our representation of the General Frate1 We welcome any ideas or suggestior; well as any donations from our alumni parents.

Finally, we thank all of the Texas cha of Beta Theta Pi for their support and vat confidence in the preparation of our pet for charter. We could not have done it · out y'all.

UNION

Nu chapter emerged from the General Convention in Scottsdale with a review status The improvement from troubled chapters standing provided momentum that has carried into the school year. While many brothers have been involved in different areas, the results have conformed to a standard of excellence.

The traditional strong suit of Nu chapter has been athletics, and the fall term has provided nothing less than an admirable example. The undefeated varsity football team is 8-0 and is looking to receive its fourth consecutive Division III playoff bid from the NCAA committee. The team certainly would not be enjoying such success without the formidable talents of a strong Beta contingent. Co -captains Steve Alves, '87, and Alexander Rita, '87, have shone in their roles as team leaders and players Special mention also is due to Dale Bajcer , '87, and Stefan Deptula, '87, senior starters who have played intricate roles in the aptly named Golden Era of Union football.

The condition of the chapter house never has been better. Under the direction of Vice President Christopher Conabee , ' 88 , the library and the bar area have been totally remodeled. The hard work of our new pledges also can be seen at the house Charged with the cleaning of the house, they have kept it virtually spotless

If success is measured by the quality of the men ·in the fraternity, then the Beta house at the University of Utah will continue to be the campus leader with the addition of 42 new "Woogies." Due to the hard work of Rush Cochairmen james Roberts, ' 87 , and David Souvall , '88, the Beta house has taken one of the largest pledge classes ever The large task of instructing the new "Woogies" is being carried out by Pledge Co-trainers Tyler Wall, '88, Ski Hottinger, '87, and Derek Mattson, '87

The annual Tri-Formal was held Oct. 25 in

Twelve members of the Gamma Beta Class of 1959 initiated in April 1956 got together again in Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah , on an April weekend last spring. Attending were Paul Wilbur , Mark Garff, David Gillette , Robert Raybould, David Dean , H. james Goodro, john Tarro , james Martin, Gary Brockbank , james Waters , Darryl Seeger and Dan Firmage.

Though each of us had kept in touch with few if any of the others since we graduated from the University of Utah in 1959 , we found that we didn't have any catching up to do. We were all just the same-warm friends who knew how to have a good time together Which is exactly what we did, in several meals, parties and excursions throughout the weekend. John Tarro and Bob Raybould remembered the songs, and David Dean remembered our exploits and documented them with snapshots.

We thank Paul Wilbur, David Dean, and Jim and Mary Waters for planning the reunion and contacting the brothers We also thank Carolyn Bertancilli Meyer, Beta Bag, for a party , and T. Upton Ramsey, Utah '42, longtime alumni advisor to Gamma Beta, for a visit . Most heroic were our wives and friends , who endured a weekend of reminiscences and appeared to enjoy them as much as we did . (James E. Martin, Utah ' 59.)

VANDERBILT

The District XVIII article in the Convention Issue of The Beta Theta Pi gave a comprehensive summary of the events , which transpired between May 1985 and june 1986 , including the deactivation of the chapter b y the university and the arrangements regarding the chapter house That article concluded by summarizing these arrangements which give the house corporation the option to re-lease the house upon May 1 of successive ye ars beginning in 1988 by giving 90-days notice . That article also describes some of the financial

aspects of the renovations done _by the university, and promises more detail the financial considerations of reentermg the house and on future reorganizational plans.

The previous article mentioned that the house arrangements provided for the university and the house corporation to share the cost of the renovation, with the latter's share being at least $60,000 depending on the date the new lease begins. That article also mentioned that there were two tax deductible ways for alumni to help fund this cost-by gifts to the General Fraternity's Founders Fund specifically designated for the chapter's benefits or gifts to the university specifically designated to the chapter's gift fund.

The use of designated Founders Fund g1fts probably is described in greater detail where in this magazine. Briefly, those contnbutions will be available for loans to the house corporation of the designated chapter on a long-term mortgage type arrangement; the loan when repaid will be available for future chapter loans; and the interest paid to the Founders Fund will be available for scholarship grants to chapter members. Thus , these contributions will be of recurring benefit; they will stay in the "Beta solution" to be reused again and again. Clearly, this is a very attractive arrangement.

The problem with this arrangement in Beta Lambda's case is security for the mortgagethe house corporation's leasehold rights simply are not adequate as security for the mortgage. We presently are exploring alternative ways of providing the needed security for such a mortgage in hopes of using this procedure. Until these problems are resolved , those wishing to make contributions, including those alumni with outstanding pledges, should make contributions to the university, designating the chapter's gift fund as the recipient.

Reorganizational plans also are proceeding

The thrust of these plans is to identify the best, most outstanding prospects for the reorganizational effort. The prospects whom we want to identify are those who are expected to be students during the 1987-88 academic year, with the emphasis being on legacies and others with Beta ties We do not want to limit the group to next year's freshmen; on the contrary, we are interested in next year's freshmen, sophomores and juniors, particularly the former two classes. We need information on any prospects who fit this description. We would hope that each alumnus will furnish the names of two or three prospects. These names should be sent to the chapter advisor, Kenneth G. Diehl, Jr., '75, or the undersigned at the addresses listed in the directory found elsewhere in this magazine. If any alumnus is interested in helping with the reorganization of the chapter, we would like to know that also. Please watch future articles for further information. (William W.

Berry, Jr., '68, Chief of District XVIII)

VIRGINIA

The expectations of a great year at Omicron were met by a highly-successful rush. Led by Rush Chairman Scott Harvey , '88, the concerted effort of the brotherhood brought in 17 outstanding pledges-the Virginia chapter's largest pledge class in recent history. The emphasis , however, was on quality and the result has been a promising group of men bound to be future leaders of the house

Undergrads and alums chat at Omicron's preformal cocktail party.

While concentrating on rush, the brotherhood also excelled in academics and athletics. Our concern for success in school resulted in our second Virginia Tech Award, which we received at the General Convention in Arizona. At the same time, our intramural sports , both individual and team, have had continued success as Omicron shoots for the number one standing of the 38 fraternities at Virginia.

Beta is also a leader in community service. This fall's Halloween Haunted House for the children of Charlottesville proved a fun way to serve the community. Additionally, we are planning our second annual Beta Hoop-AThan, a basketball marathon to raise money for the March of Dimes.

In other news, our spring 1986 pledge class (with brother chaperones) recently visited the Columbia University Betas. The trip was areciprocation to their trip down to Omicron last spring. From the many stories related to the brothers , we are sure our New York friends propefly educated and entertained our pledges. Our sincere thanks to the Colum-

bia Betas for their hospitality.

Omicron is facing a challenging trans period. The 25 brothers graduating this have continued the hard work since ou refounding to put Beta at the top whe, now stands. We are confident that the leaders of the house will continue this el Omicron, the Hands and Torch of the Seven, is passing the torch on to the yow brothers, confident that it will burn bri! for years to come.

The Alpha Iota chapter is already off to another very successful .year . A strong fall rush, led by Rush Co-Chairmen Scott Barton , '87, and Robert Rubenstein , '88, has brought 10 outstanding pledges to Beta. The pledge class includes one legacy, two all-state wrestlers, two varsity basketball players and four varsity soccer players. Continuing our athleti c dominance in intramurals , we alr e ady have captured the intramural football championship and are well on our way to winning the ov e rall title for the fourth straight year and seventh out of the last eight years. Several Alpha Iota Betas also played an integral part in Washington University rea c hing the Division III soccer finals last year

Halloween was a special philanthropic occasion as we teamed with Alpha Phi Sorority to organize and sponsor a Haunted House Party for orphaned children Everyone involved had a great time-especially the children. Other social events include our annual Mardi Gras Parade in Oc tober and the bombastic Road Warrior Party in November, which features a superstructur e built in the likeness of Thunderdome.

WASHINGTON & JEFFERSON

The 1986-87 year promises to be a year of many successes for the Gamma Betas! We have started with a great fall in areas of academics, intramurals and Greek activities. The improvement in freshman interest compared to last year is overwhelming. Doing well in campus activities coupled with our up c oming social functions should help rush tremendously.

In the area of academics , we've been climbing in GPA ranking among the fraternities for the past two years In those years , with the addition of ea c h new pledge class it gets better This past semester , we climbed two more places to be c ome fifth out of 10 fraternities. This is even more encouraging when we consider that Be tas ranked last just two years ago.

Our competitive spirit has brought us our se c ond consecutive ov e rall Greek Week victory, as well as our best intramural football start in years. The Greek Week competition consists of a soap bo x derby race , a chariot rac e, a Gre e k Sing competition, pun c h cont e st and fund -raising competition. It was a great week for the brotherhood. Struggling for a play-off spot in intramural football , halfway through the season we ar e 4-1. We 'll keep our fingers c rossed on that.

Our social functions have attracted many freshmen. While formal rush isn ' t until s pring , it looks promising . Our third annual Homecoming Pig Roast was a great success . Coming up in the near future is our annual Suitcase Party at which a trip for two to Disney World will be given away. And we look forward to a large freshman turnout at our Winter Formal.

We are working hard at Gamma to maintain a strong house . Coming off of a disappointing year for pledges , it's obvious that our main concern is in the area of rush I believe it's safe to say that the future looks bright for Gamma chapter , especially when we consider the strong brotherhood we have at the present time.

The 1986-87 school year has been one of many strong showings for Gamma Theta. This is contributed to the excellent returning membership from previous years. It also includes the leadership of President Michael Connelly , '86, Vice President George Barnecut, '87, and the other various officers who take the time to see that our chapter runs at its maximum potential. Special thanks to Anthony Cheshier, '87, rush chairman, for his dedication toward seeing that we amassed a strong pledge class. Our chapter's accomplishments have given us the continual feeling of brotherhood and its meaning. These accomplishments also have given us recognition as leaders on our campus.

W.S.U. experienced another action -packed Homecoming. Alumni, family and friends witnessed a devastating 34-14 victory over U S.C We're sure Gamma Tau was a bit surprised Many alumni reunited with brothers, which resulted in a rewarding weekend Dad's Weekend was a chance for many fathers to visit the house for the first time. If it wasn ' t their first time, they knew that it was going to be a fun-filled weekend with their sons. Springtime entails our biannual Alumni Banquet. This is a chance to honor our many distinguished alumni and members. Sporting events are another aspect of our chapter that our university acknowledges. The presence of our intramural teams is felt constantly. Playoff berths for our two softball teams were no surprise. Both of our football teams hit the gridiron once again The reigning champion Packers are out to defend their title. The Tunnelers , placing third last year, are out to get their league ' s championship The pledges also have a team and are trying to prove that they are capable of playing for one of these championship teams in the fu-

ture Our water polo team, Sea Biscuits, holds a ranking of sixth and intends to better that ranking. Our university renowned basketball teams are soon to hit the court. They intend to bring home the first place crownings , as they did last year.

A big thanks to Benjamin Flathers , Whitman '39, Guy Perham, '50 and John Gallwas, '56, for their never-ending support toward Gamma Theta. This year, they have helped us to strive for continual excellence . (Dwight LaLone, '88, Secretary)

WASHINGTON & LEE

The Alpha Rhos placed as one of their top priorities a successful fall rush, and , thanks to the hard work and dedication of the entire brotherhood, no one came away disappointed The preparation, which began last spring, and the financial devotion of the chapter saw 15 solid men "tear" at the end of the rush period. One of the highlights of the rush period was the freshman poker games, from which no one left without a novelty prize from the grab bag .

The house has been improved greatly. For two weeks before the start of classes, the entire brotherhood painted and carpeted the upper two levels. Along with these interior improvements came a complete refinishing and painting of the exterior during the summer.

Socially, Alpha Rho remains a force within the Greek community. Highlights of the fall included the Foxfield Races in Charlottesville, the numerous skeet shoots and Homecoming Weekend, featuring one of the chapter's favorite bands. We thank all the alumni who paid us a visit and encourage those who could not make it to stop by any time to visit.

In good standing again with the General Fraternity, the Alpha Rhos have been working hard to improve in all areas of the fraternity life, and things are looking bright for the future.

Once again, we thank the alumni for all of their support and cordially invite them to pay us a visit in the near future. (Robe rt M. Stanto n, '88, Secretary)

Once again, the Delta Omicron chapter is off to another fine year The chapter was quite busy during the summer and fall of this year in preparation for the 1986-87 school year. Our rush efforts were very successful as we pledged a good quantity of young men. In adto a quality rush program, another top prwnty of the chapter is the acquisition of a chapter house. We currently occupy a house turned apartment building with 12 members. Although this is not officially a chapter house, we have maintained a complete Beta residency for a year now and plan to continue to do so until enough funds can be raised to own a real chapter house.

Three brothers , myself included, attended the 147th General Convention in Scottsdale. We were all very excited and enthusiastic about our participation in this annual event and would encourage all brothers to attend one-it's a must!

And, we are off to a flying start.

WESTMINSTER

The fall semester for the Alpha Delta chapter has been one full of success and promise for the future. The goals set last year for this 1986-87 season are well on their way to becoming complete. With the extra effort made by some 60 actives and pledges this year, we should outshine any efforts the other houses on our campus are making. Beta Theta Pi is truly a dominating force

First of all, our main goal to fill our rush quota with quality young men was highly prosperous. Our 23 pledges, three more than any other house , are outstanding Three of the pledges are legacies-two with brothers who were past presidents and one with a brother currently in the house . All these young men are academically and athletically ,sound, and should make our chapter even stronger.

Secondly, scholastic achievement and intramural supremacy are well within our grasp. In the Fall Issue , we proudly announced our top position in fraternity grades. Although grade reports have not come out, we believe we will fare very well. As for intramurals , it looks as if Betas once again will dominate the athletic life of this college Currently, we have more varsity athletes in our house than any other house, yet this has not hurt our intramural standing. Betas are leading the pack in that as well.

Although social service has not always been relatively important , the Alpha Deltas slowly are changing that attitude . William Brock, ' 89, our social service chairman, has led many activities with our actives and pledges A Hunger Walk , roof refurbishing and a Halloween Party for our town's underprivileged children were all successes. In striving to help better the community, we also are working on capturing the Drosten Cup , certainly one of Westminster's most coveted fraternal awards.

In a nutshell, the house, its actives and pledges are doing terrifically. We invite all who are in the area, especially alumni, to stop by and visit . The Beta spirit indeed is soaring and will continue to grow for months, as well as for years to come (Edmond D. Hardin, ' 89 , Corresponding Secre tary)

WEST VIRGINIA

Enjoying another fine fall semester, the brothers of Beta Psi are striving for excellence in many areas of fraternity life-rush, house improvements, academic, social and community service. The officers and brothers have worked together to keep Beta Psi at "The Top of The Hill" and in good standing Academically, the Betas have notched their way toward the top of all the fraternities on campus. We have taken full advantage of the new study room at the house, and legislated quiet hours into our constitution This and dedication toward academic excellence has brought up our overall G P.A. from the past few years.

We feel the most satisfying aspect of the fraternity is to invest in the community in which we live President Richard Baily, ' 87, in cooperation with the Interfraternity Council, has planned another Christmas Party at the house for underprivileged children. Each child receives $25 to buy a gift or gifts, and then they all come to the house to enjoy the presence of Santa Claus and play with their toys. The house is decorated and refreshments are served

Last year's party was such a success that this year we have increased the number of children attending so more children can have a Merry Christmas.

This fall had a great beginning with an outstanding rush orchestrated by Rush Chairman Nick Zervos, ' 87. We pledged 25 fine young men, and hope this spring's rush will be as successful.

The house received mass renovations a year ago and has been receiving work since then. The basement rooms and dining area received renovations and new furniture which began this summer and will be completed over Christmas break, thanks to alumni who have donated funds.

Athletically, Beta Psi has done well once again. In intramural flag football, the " A" team went to the playoffs but our goal was cut short by a loss to the eventual campus champions.

Socially , "the Betas at WVU have the best parties," is a familiar saying on campus Social Chairman James Hull , '87, has brought together a fine social calendar and worked

with a local bar to purchase a new beer cooler for the bar.

After the dismal loss of the Homecoming game to Miami , chapter members, their dates and alumni attended an after-game party. This was one of the largest gatherings of alumni witnessed in recent years, and we hope to see more in the future. The Winter Formal is scheduled for February at Snowshoe Ski Resort and all alumni are welcome to attend-just notify the house (John R. Hubbard, '88, Secretary)

WHITMAN

The beginning of the 1986-87 school year has proved positive for the men of Gamma Zeta. The year began with a very successful rush which provided us with some of the best pledges on campus. With the loss of one fraternity at Whitman , the Betas are feeling a sense of pressure in maintaining a mature profile of Greek leadership. Better communication with the school's administration and improved relations among the officers of the house have maintained our respected position on the campus.

Gamma Zeta has worked hard and successfully in providing a sense of unity, leadership and "welcomeness" for new students and visiting alumni and parents This has led to alumni donations and praise from parents, faculty and the surrounding community.

Mark Wellington, '88, is proving very successful in leading the pledge program with help from Alexander Yoder, '87, and many others in the house The fall has seen a rebirth of our choral tradition under the direction of Arthur Langlie, ' 89.

Socially , the year has gone extremely well. Two very successful informals-Beta Barn Dance and Halloween Masquerade are past and we look forward to the Pledge Dance in December.

Soon Gamma Zeta will be snowed in and the -kai- lodge will flourish with brotherly spirit as we converse around the fire.

Sporting events show the Betas doing very well. The Beta I football team has an undefeated season going into the playoffs under the leadership of Bryan Robinson, '87, and Thomas Bailey , '87 And, for the second year , Beta II looks forward to another championship season.

At mid -semester , the Whitman chapter is as strong as ever in all aspects of college and fraternity life. We have had visits by several alumni, and look forward to more throughout the year-please come by (John A. Farrow, '87)

WICHITA STATE

In its 27th year, the Delta Gamma chapter looks forward to yet another fantastic year. Fall 1986 holds many promising goals and special moments.

Thanks to the ardent efforts of Jeffrey P. DeGraffenreid, ' 87, the chapter recruited an outstanding pledge class of 17, two of whom are legacies.

The 2nd annual Beta Barbecue , held Oct. 11 was again a huge success. In spite of cold and rainy weather , Kevin Brown, ' 76 , and his brother, David , ' 89 , raised over $2 ,000 . Special thanks again are extended to Dale Richmond , ' 55 , and his wife, Marilyn, both currently serving as co-presidents of the chapter's Parents

Club , for their continuous and loyal support in organizing the effort.

On Oct. 7, we were extremely fortunate and honored to host General Secretary B. Hume Morris II, Centre '68, for dinner and a delightful evening of camaraderie Among those in attendance were our recently-retired housemother, Frances A. Bates, District Chief William R. Manning, Kansas State '8b, and Richard Stone , Utah '30.

Delta Gamma once again has begun another successful year of intramural softball and flag football. Our flag football team again will strive toward a strong appearance at the Budweiser National Intramural Tournament in New Orleans, La ., after placing ninth in the nation in December 1985.

Founder's Day, Nov. 15, will be a time of extra special celebration and joy. This year, we tip our hats and lift our voices in songs of praise and admiration to our housemother , Frances " Mom " Bates, recently retired after 20 years of faithful service. A gala event including dinner , dancing and live music is to be held in the Century II Plaza Building. It is hoped that all who have had the privilege to know and love "Mom" Bates will be able to attend.

As we look to the future and strive to further our traditions of excellence at Wichita State, we wish all the best to our Beta brothers wherever they may be (David B. Seacat , '87, Corresponding Secretary)

WILLAMETTE

The 1986-87 year is well underway and we at Gamma Sigma intend to make it one of our best ever.

Last year ended with the loss of 18 seniors (from a chapter of 60) as well as the sudden departure of our chapter advisor, Brian L Purnell , Whitman '80, to Japan The class of '86 was known for its leadership and it will be missed here at Gamma Sigma.

One of these seniors, Todd Olson , remains as our current chapter advisor. Also , our current leadership team of President Kenneth Kilbreath, '88 , and Vice President Barry Melin, '88, are intent on achieving the high goals they have set for our chapter

The first big event this year was the dedication of our new campus library, named in honor of Senator Mark 0. Hatfield, '43, the first name on our chapter ' s rolls. Brothers Hatfield and Senator Robert W. Packwood , ' 54 , were the key speakers at the ceremony,

and afterward Gamma Sigma held an a gathering and enjoyed a fine turnout. Rush was a big success this year and t to Rush Chairman Kevin Heidel , '87, wi assistance of David Babcock , ' 86 , we h t fine pledges ready to learn Beta lore as t by Pledge Trainer Steven W Wanichel The brothers also are very active on ca l as evidenced by the fact we have an edit the campus newspaper , two campus se1 and co-owner , John Donovan , '88, of th e "Bistro Willamette."

For the future, Gamma Sigma ' s go · more involvement in community servi r example of which is the possible rein ment of the Telethon for Fun for chari improved scholarship program; ch house renovations, some of which a] are underway , such as our chapter roo plans for our 40th anniversary in January

WISCONSIN

The summer and fall seasons marked a t nite upswing in the attitudes of the Betas Criticized for having a morale the brothers disproved such remarks by t ing together and accomplishing an am < number of tasks.

Our chapter sent six representatives tc 147th General Convention in Arizona. ' enjoyed the camaraderie of meeting c Betas, and when it came time for singin r songs of Wooglin, it was often the Wise Betas who carried the tune .

The summer ended prematurely as Bet t turned to Madison in mid-August to pa pate in Maintenance Week In this one 1 of intense labor and repair, the entire ext l of the house was painted a sequoia re landscaping project was completed in backyard The patio above the entryway resurfaced and a deck was constructe contain our infamous porch parties.

The rush period was an equal success, minating with the pledging of 20 men "' proud of this increased enrollment declining pledge classes of recent years.

ll term is well under way at Wittenberg, n d the campus is alive with reaction to Unirsity President Kinneson's statement in the 1 11 issue of the school paper that fraternity uses are "havens for alcoholics and public 1turbants." Needless to say, the Greek houshave banded together to prove the presint wrong As things stand, all houses are der scrutiny after an administration comssion questioned the part that a Greek , use serves in a student's academic experi' ce. The commission calls for a major ange in the Greek system at Wittenberg, a ange that may involve the expulsion of sevtl houses including Beta Theta Pi. our part, we are trying to improve our 1 nding in the eyes of the administration and o :ulty by improving our grade point average b d by getting the good word out about Beta. b hope that by increasing faculty awareness our philanthropy projects and of our inlvement with the community (through val' teer work), we can improve our standing thout losing our "Greekness." We also have the office of public relations chairm to coordinate our efforts o rhe improvements are coming at a fast ce, but we're not out of the dark yet . Now 1t the Wittenberg administration has us un1 r its microscope, we need alumni support 1 >re than ever. The Alpha Gamma chapter is I, tering its 120th year at Wittenberg, and w.e t ght need a big show of support to make 1t 1 our 121st. Your letters to President Kinne' n would be votes for us.

WRIGHT STATE

J lllo, one and all, from Delta Phi chapter. It s been a long but fulfilling fall quarter for We made it through October Daze, pledg1 banquet, election and a great many other ings. As most fall quarters begin, ours with a strong rush. The chapter took eight i per pledges with the possibility of taking 1 1ht more These eight gentlemen have been >rking rather hard At their first meeting, learned a few songs and then sang them the active chapter . Hopefully, their enthusi; mwill continue and they will become li ong Betas.

1 During October Daze, the chapter dtd well :ancially even though we did not sell out. 1e onset of rain put a "dampening" on the y's sales. But, alumni , don ' t worry , we :ln't let the Brats and Mets go to waste We 1 J a nice cook-out where everyone became ite stuffed. On a lighter side, the chapter ' 9vided an all-male cheerleading squad for a !wder Puff football game among some of the o rarities.

Alpha Gamma ' s entry in the Wittenberg bedraces during Greek Week The "Moon Unit" has 4-speed re-entry and heat shielding by Glad.

The chapter is going through some slight changes due to election and the revised chapter bylaws. The new officers slowly have been getting into the swing of their new offices and doing a great job. With time, each will know his office like the back of his hand After nine years, we finally made some official changes in the chapter bylaws At this point, the chapter is still deliberating the changes

Our annual Anniversary Banquet, held at the Radisson Inn in Dayton , was a fantastic evening. The night before , we held the Alumni and Active. It was a great time for everyone to catch up on the past year. The very last thing that we have hiding is the second Delta Phi alumni newsletter, Dragon ' s Breath Alumni, you should be receiving your copy sometime during the first of winter term. If you don ' t get a copy , please let us know; we will try to solve the problem as soon as possible. (Christopher L. Eppers, ' 86, Secretary)

Willamene Unveils Its New Mark Hatfield Library

To s ay that Bet a Theta Pi has made it s pr es en c e known on the 145year -old campus of Willamette University at Salem, Ore. , may be a gross understatement When Senator Mark 0 . Hatfield , Willamette ' 43, gave a tug on the rope and unveiled the nameplate on the university's newest building named for its famed alumnus last fall (see photos below) , it marked the opening of the school's sixth building bearing a Beta name .

The new two-story $7 .6 million Mark 0. Hatfield Library with 60,000 square feet and capacity for 250,000 books was financed by contributions from more than 1,300 individuals , corporations and charitable foundations The day of dedication saw an overflowing auditorium at a morning convocation and a luncheon for more than 700 of the donors The afternoon unveiling ceremonies were ad-

dressed by dignitaries , foremost among them (beside the honoree) Oregon ' s junior senator , Robert W. Packwood , Willamette ' 54. Lavish tributes were paid to the Beta who also was a " founding father " of his chapter, chapter president and later District Chief.

Following navy service in the Pacific Theater in World War II, Brother Hatfield earned a masters degree at Stanford, returned to Willamette to spend ten years with the teaching staff, and then was successively elected state representati ve , state senator , secretary of state and governor of Oregon. He has been one of the Senate's best known figures since 1966

The Four Norris Brothers Dear Sir:

I have read with interest the im si ve story of the four Corbeth brothers mother (Fall 1986 issue) our frate n has reason to rejoice in their familial SUC L and fraternal accomplishments At the s time I direct your attention to the four Nc brothers, all of whom served the Pi chapt£ Indiana with distinction from 1956 to 196 all four of us, Cliff, Phil, Mike a all played as starters on the same 7-man ta football team in the fall of 1960 , both offense and defense None of us , it is lame bly acknowledged, earned All American I ors. On the other hand , no one laid a ham us and we all enjoyed an active among a circle of brothers whose friend i we cherish to this day.

our lives have since been scatterec least in the geographical sense ; but we stil cus together on the wonderful values we rived from our undergraduate years a E c hapter Betas. I know they sharpened performance in later life , even as stakes "' being raised and the standards elevated. 1 matter of fact, I think we could still turn pretty creditable game of touch football at old chapter house if the occasion merite Any takers?

He drew heavily upon the support of his brother Betas during his tenure as the director of the National Conference of Christians and Jews and always was rewarded by their responses.

As an impoverished Beta during the years of the Depression, my father not always was able to come up with his full dues. He was therefore pressed into service by his chapter-making beds and doing a certain amount of "KP," tasks he frequently eluded with great ingenuity.

During his years at Knox, my father lettered in baseball and was a leading member

of the Knox theatrical society. He wor r Beta ring for more than 50 years-until erally fell apart.

He was a man of strong ideals and ! conviction . . . and a very funny man of those characteristics, to some extent attributable (based on the many storie his Beta years-Jonathan Jerald.

RUTGERS

Langenus, Alan Gustave, '29 , died Dec. 16, 1985

Rice, Charles Walter, ' 20, died April 18. At age 87 he had outlived all of those Betas who graduated with him. Lest he have only a name and date in the M.M.S. column , I would like to express my personal knowledge of him Brother Rice was a worthy Beta and an outstanding citizen.

I worked two years before entering Rutgers so I was his senior by two years when we met as pledges in 1916. We were friends from the start-roommates on our overnight trips with the Glee club and visitors at each other's homes. In 1917, I left and enlisted in the army . Returning in 1919 still a pledge, I was warmly welcomed by Walter, by then the chapter president. Initiation followed shortly . The inconveniences were meted out to me along with the freshmen. I was dejected. Then the solemn ceremony Our robes removed and our jackets returned On my vest was Brother Rice ' s own badge I was elated to know that I could wear his until mine arrived " When a Beta offers you his hand, you may be sure, his heart is in the bargain , too."

Walter was one of the prominent members of his class. He was elected to the Senior Honor Society, was captain of the track team and a member of the relay team which set a record at the Penn Relays. He had many other class honors and by capable leadership built a strong Beta Gamma chapter.

After graduating from Columbia University Law School, Brother Rice spent 20 years as a practicing attorney with a large law firm. Then he joined the Bank of New Jersey from which he retired in 1962. He had been vice president and trust officer He continued to practice law from his home. Many who had learned to trust his judgment in their affairs sought him out because of their confidence in him .

" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches ," Proverbs 22:1. Walter never made a million but he had a wealth of friends. He was respected by friends at church, college, business, socially Loved by family.

Since I had known Brother Walter Rice for 70 years, I was well aware of his kindness , integrity , loyalty, modesty and his always ready humor. If he were to read this , I would hear him say with a chuckle, "Who me? "

Beta Theta Pi's continuing reputation is built on the fine character of its individual members. Charles Walter Rice was one of those foundation stones. We will miss him . (By John Turnbull Quigley, Rutgers '22.}

A Record Alumni Turnout!

Dear Jack :

I cannot resist adding a footnote to your "Editor's Note " attached to the story of the celebration of British Columbia ' s 50th anniversary celebration (Fall1986 Issue)

For the record , it should be noted that an initiation was held that afternoon for one of the founding group who had not been initiated at the time of the installation of the chapter. This brought the roll number of Gamma Omicron to 1273.

At the banquet that night, there were 510 British Columbia Betas present. Some simple arithmetic shows that this represents just about 40 % of all the men initiated by the chapter. When one considers deaths, removals from the area , ill health and other reasons for non-attendance, it would appear that Gamma Omicron has set a record that will be difficult to top.

Pres. Rhodes & General Sec'y Morris Address So. Ontario Alumni

The Fall Luncheon of the Southern Ontario Alumni Association was honored to have President John J. Rhodes , Kansas State '38, and General Secretary B Hume Morris II, Centre '68, address its members on Oct 31, at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Their presence coincided with the meeting of the Board of Trustees of Beta Theta Pi, which was held in Toronto.

It is always a pleasure to hear these two distinguished members of Beta chat informally , drawing on their wealth of knowledge of Beta and their day -to-day business interface. The audience was reminded of how important the Canadian chapters are to the fraternity and how significant their involvement has become. Each indicated his endorsement and support of further e xpansion of chapters in Canada

Present at the luncheon were four under-

graduates from Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, who had travelled to Toronto to meet with the Trustees to seek "provisional colony " status for a group at that university .

Long-Time Senior Golf Star Web Wilder Confesses: "I Have Slowed Down"

A heart attack , operation and insertion of a pacemaker a couple of years ago has slowed his pace, but Webster Wilder's law offices are still in operation on Ashton Place in San Antonio, Tex Also , he still gets around and can still be found on the golf course, albeit his game isn ' t quite the same. "I just haven't been able to play the circuit with any gusto," says the 75-year-old Oklahoma ' 31 Beta, " and haven ' t won any tournaments lately "

Maybe that's only fair because Web has certainly garnered more than his share of the cups-somewhere between 35 and 40 just since he retired as a lieutenant colonel from the Army in 1960. Frequently traveling the "senior ' s circuit, " particularly in the South, he has won the Texas Golf Assn Seniors twice, West Texas-New Mexico twice , Mississippi three times , Tri-State twice , for example. He's also won the Army, Far East, Mexican and Irish Seniors when he's strayed further from home.

Brother Wilder , who was highly popular with undergrads and alumni alike at the 1980 convention at the Homestead in Hot Springs, Va for his exuberance and wit , received his AB and JD degrees from Oklahoma and entered private law practice in that state. He subsequently served as county attorney and two terms in the state legislature before entering army service in 1940. Managing a law

practice and winning golf tournaments been the bill of fare in Texas since 1960 the last dozen years or so, Web has also t on the board or otherwise active with the · as Golf Assn and has also served on com tees of the U S.G A Last spring , he routine by taking a tour of Russia, studs Soviet justice

This idea is nothing new to Ronald A. , Lawrence '62, a Petaluma, musician, composer, researcher, , author and scientist who has called "the wizard of electronic msic." Actually, he has been demontrating what he means in shows sponored by museums, cultural centers, niversities and other organizations hroughout the United States, Europe nd South America from time to time for years.

This all began when Ron, growing up in Kenosha, Wis , was given a clarinet by his father at an early age. By high school, he had his own trio, quartet or dance/swing band (depending on occasion) and was staging variety music shows. Next, he studied music at Lawrence where he enjoyed undergrad years on campus as an active Beta. This was followed by earning masters and doctorate degrees at the University of Wiscon-

sin, m1xmg in a bit of electronics with his music study and research.

Over succeeding years, Brother Pelligrino was found teaching music and music composition successively at Ohio State, Oberlin, Miami and Texas Tech, obtaining research grants along the way to study music visualization using video and laser techniques. He also did a lot of traveling with his shows. Finally settling in Petaluma, he has his own companyElectronic Arts Productions-in a building behind his home He still travels with his shows from time to time and still spends a good deal of time "pioneering." Discovering something new in the music-sight projection field, he professes, is still as exciting now as it was 34 years ago when he first broke ice in the field.-j.R.M.

Activity-Minded Bob Curry Planned a Law Career, But Now Heads Billion Dollar Worldwide Group

When Robert L Curry , Lawrence '48, was a highly-active undergraduate, it wouldn't have taken a genius to predict he would be successful in later business and professional life. An award-winning scholarathlete, he was a two-way football guard/ linebacker on three conference championship football teams. He earned four basketball letters as guard (and one year captain) on the basketball team, which won a conference championship. Among numerous other activities, he was president of the senior class , president of his Beta chapter, and delegate to a Beta General Convention. But in contemplating his future, it ' s safe to say that even Bob never saw himself as president and CEO of a worldwide insurance group with more than $1 billion in assets

CUNA Mutual Was A Client

Actually, what Brother Curry had in mind at the time was being a successful la wyer and he pursued that thought by earning a law degree from the Universit y of Wisconsin at Madison and then pra cticing law in that city . Becoming , af-

ter a few years , a partner in a law firm specializing in insurance and credit unions, he served several years as an attorney for Madison, Wis.-based CUNA Mutual Insurance Group, an organization which provides life, health, accident and casualty insurance for credit union members around the world. Then, in 1961 , he was offered the position of general counsel for that Group. Twelve years later he was elected president.

Managing an organization with those billion-plus dollars in assets including a now-accumulated $190 million in surplus, a Madison home office with over 2,500 employees, 14 other U.S. offices, and operations in 55 international areas calls for a bit of financial acumen as well as executive skills Withal, however, Bob Curry has found time-like he did as an undergraduate-for extra-curricular activities. Just a few months ago he was named the community's 1986 Executive of the Year by the Madison chapter of Sales & Marketing Executives and The Capital Times , the city's daily evening newspaper.

The annual recognition is given not only for personal involvement in com-

munity projects but for guiding his c pany involvement as well. For insta l Curry has not only chaired the coun United Way campaign, but his group leader in the program. CUNA Mu has been the top corporate blood de in the county for 12 years and its _ ployees provide the regional Red C1 with more than 1,500 pints of blood nually. More than 100 employees H been certified in the Cardia Pulmon Resuscitation (CPR) program in orde lend immediate medical assistance people in need. CUNA Mutual also g funds to the Madison Fire Departm to purchase a badly-needed rescue b and has donated money to help rehab tate economically-depressed neight hoods

CUNA Mutual Insurance Society, I group's primary company, writes m< credit life insurance than any other co pany in the world. A sizeable percent;; of the nation's 17,000 credit unions of insurance on savings accounts or loa with insurance provided by CUI' Mutual.

Some Things Never Seem to Change!

by Ken Stephen, Toronto '77

Excerpts from convention minutes and reports indicate that:

• undergraduate delegates were concerned about a lack of input into election of General Officers.

• the General Secretary tried to urge chapters to keep up their alumni ties in all possible ways.

• there was a great deal of concern about "horseplay" at initiations.

• undergraduate delegates were urged to take a more active role in the work of the Convention

• several chapter delegates managed to be late or absent at each session of the Convention.

Sound familiar? If you were at Scottsdale for the 147th Convention in August of 1986 it should But try this one:

• the total receipts of the year were $16,996.32, and the total expenses were $9 ,877.20, leaving a cash-on-hand balance of $7,119.12 for the year.

It's obvious that those figures don ' t come from 1986! Actually, all of these items come from the Minutes of the 67th Convention , held in Denver, Colo. in 1906-80 years ago. There are some rather curious links between that convention and the one just completed last summer. The items quoted above represent only the tip of the iceberg.

at a Western convention. All four new charters were granted at Scottsdale with a minimum of debate, as the delegates accepted the recommendations (backed by careful study) of the committee on charters

All was not such smooth sailing at Denver in 1906 Another application for charter was turned down by the Chapters & Charters Committee, and also voted down by the convention. Another charter was recommended by the Committee, but dismissed by the convention by a margin of one vote. A motion to reconsider was approved , but on reconsideration the charter was defeated again by a wider margin The men of that committee must have felt a bit disappointed that their considered recommendation was rejected by the convention, but that is an important privilege of the delegates in general sessions Each of these procedures , incidentally, also was debated very actively by the brothers .

also considered favorably the progress ot a dozen colonies and recommended future colonization. Expansion is much more favored by Beta Theta Pi t than it was in 1906

A final note on the 67th Convention ! years ago-it marked the first entry onti' Board of Trustees of a man who was to r his mark as one of the greatest Betas c time and serve his brothers faithfully many years-Francis Wayland Shepard Denison 1882

As the Convention program pointed out, the 67th Convention was the first General Convention of Beta Theta Pi ever held in the West. That same Convention took the first step into Canada for our fraternity by chartering the Theta Zeta Society at the University of Toronto. It's interesting to note that, by contrast with more recent charterings, no less than 11 brothers rose to speak on this motion. All the same, the convention graciously permitted a representative of the Toronto local to address the Convention This was a very large privilege indeed in a day when "colonization " as we know it did not exist; the men from Toronto could not become Betas until they received a charter The nature of the discussion is not recorded in the minutes, but we do know the results of the vote : Toronto's charter was given by unanimous vote, with one abstention.

It's interesting to look now at the proceedings of the 147th Convention of 1986 In this convention, four new charters were granted and one of those just happened to be at the University of Guelph. Epsilon Zeta becomes the newest Canadian chapter of Beta Theta Pi, exactly 80 years after the first, and again

Two other features of the 67th Convention, 80 years ago, are of more than passing interest. This Convention was served by one committee dealing with both chapters and charters, and that committee did not have so many members as some others. Its report was very brief, in six sections , concerning the three applications for charters, a motion of censure for chapters not represented at the convention, and acceptance of recommendations concerning three troubled chapters as made by the Board of Trustees.

By contrast, in 1986 it is necessary to have two large committees for charters and chapters , respectively ; furthermore the committee on chapters divided into three sub-committees to finish its work. The increase in the number of troubled chapters is far greater than the growth of the Fraternity On the other hand the charters committee not only looked at four applications for charter, but

In welcoming the chapter into the meral Fraternity, John J. Rhodes, Kans State '38, observed that, "We were to be the ' best and the brightest' Cal Poly. We knew from the start that e California Polytechnic State Univery was a first rate school-one where should be, and that it would be e key link to future expansion in Cali-

fornia."

Brother Rhodes bestowed upon the chapter many gifts from individual Betas and chapters throughout Beta's realms. Among these gifts presented were a set of Beta , American and Canadian flags, roll book , gavel, picture of Pater Knox, a water color print of Old Main, president's badge, a loving cup from the sponsoring chapter-UCLA, handmade benches , and a full set of Beta books. The event concluded with a beautiful Loving Cup Ceremony, a serenade to all the Beta sweethearts present, and an old-fashioned pinning.

Prepare Yourself for a Unique Experience!

Beta Theta Pi picks among the finest resorts in the U.S. and Canada for its annual convention sites. Grove Park Inn & Country Club in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina is easily accessible-20 minutes from Asheville's regional airport and near three major highways. It has been a vacation spot for many of the "rioh and famous" ranging from Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and the Rockefellers to several U.S. Presidents. And it will be available to you at reasonable convention rates.

The famed Inn (rear) underwent multi-million dollar renovation in 1982-4. The Country Club and Sports Center offers all forms of recreation. Nearby-and a "must" for sightseeing-is the famed Biltmore House & Gardens, the fabulous mansion and estate built by George Rockefeller.

Add to all this the unique experience and frienc atmosphere of a Beta convention, which not or caters to Betas of all ages but their families and guests as well. And, you can be sure North Carolim Governor will be there to greet you-he's Beta's tn President James G. Martin, Davidson '57.
