The Beta Theta Pi - June 1960

.1.

My term as President will end in August. As a 'S" fratres, I wish to republish one which was written fo 1954 issue of the MAGAZINE by an eminent predecessor in office. He said:

The undergraduate who joins Beta Theta Pi (or any other college fraternity, for that otter) becomes a marked man He ceases to be a free agent and from that time forward represents his fraternity, is his fraternity. If he violates the moral code, does violence to accepted community standards, his own group-and the college fraternity system-will inevitably suffer many of the penalties which the man himself incurs.

Every crank, every crack-pot, every busybody who rejoices when young men seem delinquent finds redoubled satisfaction in the errors of college fraternity members And the lurid , sensational newspapers with which almost every American city is afflicted can be relied upon to tell the story under shrieking headlines .

Youngsters whose home tra inin g has been in the least adequate certainly know the difference between right and wrong, but quite apart from the question of morals, aberrant conduct is unutterably stupid. How can the fraternity member whose intelligence rises about that of a ten-year-old child put in jeopardy both his own good name and that of the organization he has solemnly promised to cherish?

Of course the man of honor does not lie, but in addition to being able to live with himself, he has the comforting advantage, as an old friend of mine use to observe, of not having to remember what he said . Let me attempt to personalize this particular suggestion: In more than 30 years of working with the staffs of such regulatory agencies as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Po wer Commission, I sometimes had occasion to deliver a brief speech along these lines :

I think I am iust as moral as the next man, but let's forget about morals. If you consider that I possess even average intelligence , you are required to conclude that I can ' t afford to deceive you Any time I throw you a curve- and get caught at it-/'m all washed up.

So far as my associations with you are concerned, whatever damages my reputation destroys my usefulness.

There can be no more valuab le asset than a sensitive conscience, but even the morally calloused should be able to understand that self - indulgence is stupid, that failure to consider the effect of over-the-line conduct on family , friends, or the organizations one represents and is-whether college fraterntiy or law firm or newsstand or great corporation--brands "Jackass!" on the offender's forehead

When Charles Kingsley admonished, "Be good, and let who can be clever," he was on the wrong track. It is submitted that he should have said, "Be good; and also be intelligent enough to realize why that is eminently sound advice " ln-kai-,

A. J. G. PRIEST, President

The message needs to be repeated-and in AJ's inimitable way.

Yours in -kai,-

Beta Theta Pi

The first college fraternity magazine, founded Dec. I 5, 1872, by Charles Duy Walker, V.M.I. 1869, and published continuously since.

The Cover

The Knox Loving Cup, with the Louis Szanto portrait of Founder John Reily Knox as background, is photographed effectively here by Oxford's Phi Gamma Delt a photographer, George Hoxie, to lea d into the stor y, " Beta Loving Cups," on page 450.

By RoBERT T. HoWARD, DePauw '37 Editor, THE BETA THETA PI

THE LoviNG CuP of Beta Theta Pi is perhaps the most widely-known single symbol of fraternity life, due perhaps to the excellent and singable "The Loving Cup" written by the late Horace Gillette Lozier, Chicago 1894.

And in singing, "Start the Loving Cup Around," Betas thousands of times have sung that "we all drink from the same canteen".

Same Canteen it is that Betas pass around the circle, and a Beta from anywhere should be at home anywhere he steps into such a circle. But there's little sameness among the beautiful and cherished Loving Cups of the individual chapters, and many of them carry interesting stories.

Five months ago, each chapter was asked for a photo of its ceremonial Loving Cup, plus a brief summary of the cup's characteristics and history. As usual, some chapters came through

promptly. Others are yet to be heard from Perhaps we still shall receive details about stil other chapter Loving Cups. A similar article i in preparation for a future issue on the uses and interpretations of the Beta coat of arm and of such other symbols as the Dragon.

The one Loving Cup which has become widely known in the Fraternity is the Knox pictured on the cover of this issue with Knox's portrait in the background. grow fast among undergraduates, and hard these days to be told that "Pater used this cup at Miami."

Well, Knox wasn't at Miami long after found ing Beta Theta Pi-he was graduated quite afterward. And the Loving Cup as a symbol was developed much later. But the cup was his, it always has represented the Fraternity's regard for him.

This cup was presented to the Knoxes on occasion of their golden wedding 1895 by the 61 chapters which then the Fraternity. It remained in the Knox long after the death of John Reily Knox in 1 It was returned to the Fraternity by the of Pater Knox's last surviving grandson in 1946.

The Loving Cup and other Pater Knox orabilia had been passed down to Mrs. Miller Lansdowne, Cincinnati, widow Founder Knox's last surviving grandson, John Knox Lansdowne, Miami 1900, who died im Cincinnati November 6, 1943. In October 1946, she presented the cup to Otho E. Lane, Miami 1:

Case DePauw

'01, who had been initiated into the Fraternity with Knox Lansdowne in the presence of John Reily Knox just a half-century before-on October 10, 1896.

Since then, the Knox cup not only has been used at General Conventions and other major Beta gatherings but has been shipped to many sections of Betadom for individual chapter initiations.

Equipped with a handsome leather case plus a hardy fiber outer cover suitable for shipping, the Knox Cup is kept in a vault at the Administrative Office in Oxford between trips. It is used exclusively by the Alpha Chapter; it often is carried to initiations at other chapters by Oxford Betas who are invited to speak, or by Alpha undergraduates representing Alpha chapter. But with sufficient advance notice, it can be shipped on request to any chapter which wants it.

Yet each chapter's own cup has its own tradition and its own status as a symbol.

The Loving Cup owned and used by Gamma Iota chapter at Carnegie was presented in memory of John A. Schmidt, Case '51, by his parents, following his death from automobile accident injuries.

"The Lambda Kappa chapter at Case," writes Paul Bernard Ferry, Case '62, "before 1949 had to borrow a Beta Loving Cup from our

Idaho Michigan

brothers at Western Reserve whenever we wanted to Pass the Loving Cup Around. Then during 1949 the Case undergraduates started a fund for the purchase of a Beta Loving Cup. The enthusiasm was not sufficient to offset our lack of numbers , and the fund fell short. Then Lambda Kappa Incorporated, the Case Beta alumni organization , stepped in and appropriated the additional funds necessary.

"Approximately 15 inches tall , the Case cup is of sterling silver embossed with chrysanthemums; scrollwork forms the handles. This prized cup is displayed in a prominent section of the chapterhouse living room , locked in a glassenclosed cabinet."

Delta chapter's Loving Cup is but one of many contributions to the DePauw chapter by one of its most devoted alumni, George Levings Clark, DePauw '14. A former District Chief, he has been a founder of the Delta Chapter Association and the DePauw Beta Students Aid Fund , Inc. and has been treasurer for both associations. He also has been president of the Delta Chapter Association. He's been father of two DePauw Betas. He lived in each of the chapterhouses which served Delta prior to completion of its present new home, and he was one of the moving forces of that effort. And most important, in whatever capacity, when he's been needed, he's

Indiana Carnegie

Wichita Michigan State

been there. As Paul T. Cochran, DePauw '60, corresponding secretary, points out, "this cup is an ever-present reminder of Brother Clark's 46 years of service to Delta "

Idaho Betas are proud of the honor and sincerity behind the Gamma G a mma chapter cup, reports Danny Langdon, Idaho '61. This threehandled sterling cup, with raised Beta crest, was given to the chapter by seven Betas of Kellogg, Idaho, in 1955, in memory of Robert M. Cummings, Idaho '23. His widow is now this chapter's housemother.

The Pi chapter at Indiana has a relatively new cup in memory of Gerald Kent Horton, Indiana ' 58, killed in an automobile accident in his sophomore year. The 18-inch three-handled silver cup was presented by his classmates and carries an inscription in his memory; when not in use for the Loving Cup ceremony, it is kept in a trophy case in the Chapter President's quarters.

Also a recent memorial is the handsome silverplated chalice of the Gamma Epsilon chapter at Kansas State , linked to a memorial scholarship, in tribute to Harry Herbert Halbower, Jr., Kansas State '53. Commissioned in the U.S. Air Force after graduation , he met death in the service of his country over Japan , September 10,

1955 The memorial cup was presented to I chapter by men of his pledge class. A $3 memorial scholarship is given by his each year to a deserving student, with given to members of Beta Theta Pi, accordi to Thomas C. Martin , Jr., Kansas State '( corresponding secretary.

Michigan State's Gamma Psi is one of re · tively few chapters whose Loving Cups from their earliest days. Its cup was to the chapter in 1950, year of its by its first chapter president, Ralph Lee, Micl gan State '50, #2 on the chapter roll. And H. Burbage, Michigan State '62, chapter sponding secretary, asserts that it remains "tt chapter's most cherished cup."

The Lambda Chapter at Michigan uses a year-old annual trophy, yet this cup has real Beta tradition behind it than almost all standard ceremonial cups. This is the cha Spaulding Cup for Freshman Scholarship, it's approximately as old as "The Loving Song "

"The" Spaulding Cup really is two cups . Th original, presented in 1902 , was the gift of Lyman Spaulding, Jr., Michigan 1895; Joh1 Cecil Spaulding, Michigan 1897, and Marshall Spaulding, Michigan '02. As each re cipient's name was engraved on the cup, the chapter eventually purchased a second cup accommodate the overflow of names. But J Tuohy, Michigan '60, informs us that the half century-old inscriptions of the original cup it impressive indeed for ceremonial use.

But there are two distinctive Loving Cups a· the Zeta Phi chapter, University of Missouri and Malcolm Robertson, Missouri '60, tary , reports that each seems cloaked in rv

A most unusual three-handled china cup , green, gold, red and white, is displayed in the Missouri chapter president's room. It's five inches high, four inches in diameter. In it is a

small card which identifies it as the "First Beta Loving Cup." But older Zeta Phis contacted by the chapter could contribute nothing of its origin, save that it had turned up in the Housemother's Room.

Actually in use for the Loving Cup ceremony by Zeta Phi is the silver cup which Robertson says "has been in the chapter as long as the older men contacted could remember." This is seven inches high and five inches in diameter. Its longstemmed design makes it likewise unusual. On one side are engraved the lines from Lozier's song:

Here 's life and strength

Here 's health and wealth

Here ' s All in Phi kai Phi

· On the other side of this silver cup is the inscription, "Zeta Phi 1890 ," denoting the year that the parent chapter of the old three-chapter Zeta Phi fraternity established in 1870 became the Zeta Phi chapter of Beta Theta Pi.

The cup used for the Loving Cup ceremony at Alpha Tau Chapter, according to Lanny A. Yeske, Nebraska '60, is the Beta Theta Pi N Cup. One of three permanent loving cups in the chapter's trophy collection, this one was presented to Alpha Tau by Charles L. Dort , Nebraska '08, soon after his graduation, to carry names of the chapter's varsity athletes of that period.

The Ohio Wesleyan cup , distinctive in both shape and design, has a certain amount of official mystery, Paul R. Schimmel, Ohio Wesleyan '62, points out. The cup was presented to Theta chapter in 1914 by Mrs. Charles Cheseldine , whose son in Theta's class of 1914 became Colonel Raymond M. Cheseldine and in turn was father of Raymond M. Cheseldine, Jr., Ohio Wesleyan '50. Ironically, the cup disappeared from the chapter house not long after the death of Col. Cheseldine in 1954. Last spring,

the cup was brought to the Fraternity's Administrative Office in Oxford by a non-Beta. He said he had discovered the cup in the bouse of another fraternity on another campus and bad persuaded the group there that it sho uld be restored to Theta of Beta Theta Pi. Its return is pictured on the back cover of the October 1959 issue of this magazine .

The new Wichita chapter's Loving Cup, another standard Modern Balfour , is a link between the chapter 's past as the Alpha Gamma Gamma fraternity and its new status as the Delta Gamma chapter of Beta Theta Pi. The cup was presented to the new chapter by Dr. Worth A. Fletcher, initiated as No. 1 on the roll of the Delta Gamma chapter after having been a faculty sponsor of Alpha Gamma Gamma for thirty years and one of the most arde nt s upporters of its petition for a Beta charter. Gerald J. Brazil, Wichita '60, points out that in presenting the cup at the installation banquet (where the Knox Cup also was used) , Dr Fletcher defined the cup as "a small token of my appreciation for all the enjoyable experiences I have had as your sponsor."

Tau chapter at Wabash bas one of the most novel cups regularly in use for the Loving Cup ceremony. It bas to be refilled two or three times, for its cap a city is no more than a third that of most cups shown here. It's tightly-bound in leather , handle s and all. Its sides are straight, its bottom flat. The three handles have an "underslung" effect and terminate in feet beneath the cup.

At Wittenberg , Edward Stepleton, Wittenberg '61, reports that the Alpha Gamma chapter is indebted to its Mothers Club for replacement of a Loving Cup which vanished in a chapter-house raid late in 1958. Other trophies taken at the same time were returned five months after the raid , but the earlier Loving Cup still is missing.

Nixon Advance Man

By DoNALD F. KNAPP, UCLA '57

IN A TIME WHEN our country is hard-pressed to prove it can produce material quality and freedom within a democratic society, we are compelled to improve ourselves and our institutions with increased emphasis. Our concern for progress in education , in business and in politics must be sharpened.

The decisions we make in a presidential election determine the course the country is to take in the following four years. Now, more than ever, these take on international significance.

Invaluable to both political parties in the selection of a presidential nominee are the many private citizens-interested, responsible, energetic people-who voluntarily donate their time to the party of their choice.

Harry Robbins (Bob) Haldeman, UCLA '48, had "always had a tremendous interest in Richard Nixon." Little did he know, however, that in 1960 he would take a ten-month leave of absence from his business to play a vital role in the Vice President's campaign for the Republican nomination and possibly the top executive post itself .

Bob took leave from J. Walter Thompson Co ., New York, the world's largest advertising agency, where he is a senior account representative on January 1 to join the Nixon staff in Washington. His primary job: to recruit and train young men to make advance arrangements for the Vice President's personal appearances around the country.

The new advance men got on-the-job training with Bob as they accompanied him on trips early in the year. Arriving in a city two weeks ahead of a scheduled appearance, he would check airport, transportation, and hotel arrangements, meet with local officials on the program to determine the interests of the people, and coordinate with the local secret service. Back in Washington he would keep in touch with the local area for possible changes, brief Mr. Nixon on the arrangements, and then fly back to the

When he hasn't been traveling, Bob has be working with the "Nixon Volunteers," an org 2 ization set up to coordinate and service the 1,0 "Nixon For President" clubs around the U. providing campaign material and encouragi new clubs .

During June and July he will be concentrati on the GOP national convention, to open J1 24 in Chicago. A nomination for Mr. Nixon \! mean "intensive travel" for the 34-year-< Haldeman

Participation on the Nixon staff began in 19 for the crew-cropped, tan, native Californi t Then 29, Bob took a leave of absence frc Thompson's Los Angeles office in Septemt and October and traveled 35,000 miles to cities as the youngest of an eight-man voluntf advance team. He also found time to work the program and entertainment committee 1 the San Francisco convention.

In 1958-and with Thompson in New Yu -Bob took the same two months off a traveled 32,000 miles to even more cities as Nixon campaigned on behalf of the GOP c gressional candidates.

While he received only expenses in 1956 a1 1958, Bob this year will get a regular sala1 paid for from campaign contributions. The tir off has cut his earnings for those years; but h quick to predict that by 1965, his total earnirr since 1956 will be as great or greater than if had not participated in politics. Bob credits t experience-learning about campaigning, me1 ing and gaining a good understanding of a crc section of people from different walks of as being an asset in business. His salary i creases, he estimated, "have been larger a1 have come more often" because of this workl Is he seeking a political appointment for I efforts? No, he favors private business to gover ment service and intends to return to his York office in November. He volunteered 1 services, he said simply, because he sought " be of some help to the community. We've got do something more than just sit around a1 watch television."

He agrees that many people tend to shy fro political activities or even discussion

"Every college-educated man," he sai "should make it his business to get into politic

Where he does it is less important than that he does it. There's a tremendous need for young blood in both parties." He suggested that the Young Democratic and Young Republican organizations were a good place for young people to start.

Vice president Nixon obviously agrees.

"Both political parties need the invigorating services of more and more young men and women who are interested in good government,"

he said. "When outstanding young people like Bob take an interest in politics, regardless of party, the nation is bound to benefit."

Bob wanted to make one point clear: "Get rid of the irresponsible or foolish idea that it's a good idea to be an independent."

The independent, he said, "cannot make himself heard, does not shape the party, and will never be elected. The party shapes party policy."

The undecided, he said, should "select the party they generally feel aligned to-read party platforms adopted at the conventions, study the policies of the administration, listen to the views of the candidates to make your decision." He added that campaign biographies, though often not very objective, also can be helpful in making an intelligent decision.

Dawn TV Professor

Early risers who have watched the Modern Chemistry portion of the nationally televised Continental Classroom series over NBC television have been enlightened by John F. Baxter, Bethany '32, on leave of absence from the University of Florida, where he is head of the general chemical division.

He also recently completed 160 thirty-minute color films comprising a complete course in high school chemistry, filmed and produced by the Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, underwritten by the Ford Foundation and sponsored by the American Chemical Society and the University of Florida.

While on the Washington & Lee faculty, Dr . Ba xter was chapter counselor to the Alpha Rho chapter. for JUNE, 1960

The Democratic Party, he said, needs business men and college educated men and the Republican Party needs labor representatives. Rather than have the Democrats represent labor and the Republicans business, "each party should be a coalition of a broad section of the people ."

Ringside at Princeton

By KARL PALMER MILLER , Hanover '10

A BETA WITH A DISTINGUISHED CAREER of his own as a medical missionary bas an extraordinary privilege in retirement: opportunity to watch at firsthand the adminstration of one of America's major institutions of higher education by his own son.

Dr. Robert Harold Hull Goheen , Wooster ' 02, and Mrs. Goheen have made their home at One Orchard Circle, Princeton , N.J., since shortly after Princeton University elevated their son, Dr. Robert F. Goheen , from its classical languages faculty to its presidency. . .

Since full retirement, they had been restdmg in Orlando , Florid a, where he had been an active member of the strong Beta Theta Pi Club. When the younger Dr. Goheen was asked to move into Princeton's historic president's home , they left Florida to occupy his former residence in Princeton.

In retirement, they not only have opportunity to watch their son's direction of a distinguished university, but they have also the privilege of reminiscing on their own unusual careers of service to their fellowman in many parts of the world.

Brother Goheen was born in Kolhapur, India while his father, the Reverend Joseph M. Goheen, was a missionary there representing the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church , U .S.A. Robert was sent to America at age five to be with relatives in Wooster, Ohio , and to attend the elementary schools there. In due time he entered the College of Wooster with the class of 1902 and was initiated into Alpha Lambda chapter. He met while at Wooster and later married, the daughter of Sir J. C. R Ewing, president of Forman Christian College who had been knighted by Queen Victoria and awarded the Kaiser-i-Hind Gold Med al for distinguished service. Mrs. Goheen had also come to America at age 14 for college education at Wooster , where she became a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Dr Goheen completed his undergraduate course at the University of Chicago and spent much time at the Beta house there. Among his favorite memories of those days were the visits of Horace G. Lozier, Chicago 1894, who led the chapter in singing. Brother Lozier had edited and published Songs of B e ta Theta Pi the year Brother Goheen entered that university.

After graduation from Rush Medical College in 1905 , Dr. Goheen and h!s y oung wife re-

turned to India, where he served forty years as a Medical Missionary under the auspices of the Presbyterian Board.

Early in his work, he established at Vengurla , Bombay State, the St Luke's Hospital. He later added a maternity home and a sanatorium. Subsequently he was transferred to Miraj, Bombay, as Director of the Medical School , Hospital, Leprosarium and Sanitorium. He was for seven years the editor of Th e Journal of the Christian Medical Association India and still later served as President of Medical Association of 'India. He was appointed with two others as a Survey Committee to visit and report on the 290 Missionary Hospitals of the various nationalities and denominations in India. '

Dr Goheen returned to America on furlough in 1912 and single-handed raised $25,000 by private solicitation for a new hospital in India For distinguished service he received the Kaiseri-Hind gold medal from the British Crown.

After his 40 years of service in India brother Goheen returned to America for his pre-retirement furlough in 1944. During that first year of semi-retirement he was engaged by the Department of Medical Information at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.

Testimonial for Burke

By JAMES KILLEEN, British Columbia '54

NINETY-FIVE BRITISH CoLUMBIA BETAS gathered at the pavilion in beautiful Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada , on March 2 to pay tribute to Dr. Gordon Burke , Washington (Seattle) '09, a member of Beta Theta Pi for 55 years.

" Doc" Burke long has been a friend of Beta Theta Pi in British Columbia and was one of the guiding lights when Sigma Alpha Phi petitioned Beta Theta Pi for a charter in 1936. His efforts resulted in addition of the Gamma Omicron chapter to Beta's broad dominion.

At the Burke testimonial dinner, Vice President Ben C. Grosscup, Wittenberg '16, represented the General Fraternity. W. Richard Penn, '49, acted as chairman. Other head-table guests included Mrs. Burke; Eric Lauritzen, '61, president-elect of the undergraduate chapter ; James W. Killeen, '55, president of the British Columbia Alumni Association; Maurice Gibbons, '58, John (Cut) Cunningham, ' 48, and George Edgar (Ted) Baynes, ' 32, historians, and Campbell Duncan , '30.

Duncan presented the Doctor with an illuminated scroll as a token of Gamma Omicron's appreciation of his continuing efforts on behalf of Beta Theta Pi in British Columbia. The scroll reviewed Dr. Burke's fine efforts and was signed by Jack Cockrill, '60, chapter president, and Alumni President Killeen.

The evening's program included a report from the General Fraternity by Vice President Grosscup and high points of Gamma Omicron history as outlined by Baynes, who spoke on the period before World War II; by Cunningham , who reviewed the war years, and by Gibbons, who brought the story up to the present. Dr. Burke spoke briefly, recalling his long association with Beta Theta Pi.

Dr. Harold Burke, '48, who currently is practicing medicine in Osweko, Oregon , journeyed to Vancouver to attend the function in honour of his father. T Gregor McLelan , Toronto ' 11 , a long-time friend of Dr. Burke's , also was in a ttend a nce

Telegram s were received from the Hon Jay W. Montieth, Toronto '2 7, Minister of National He alth and Welfare in the Federal Government of Canada; John (Chick) Turner, '49, a Beta Rhodes scholar now residing in Montreal , Quebec, and Robert H Parkinson, ' 39, Ottawa, Ontario

Letters were received from Ronald Alexander, 462

The Seen a Kenyon Trophy

HISTORY HAs PROVIDED Beta Theta Pi with a wealth of long-remembered and well-loved traditions. Gamma Nu chapter at UCLA h as begun an annual tribute which we hope becomes another tradition , the Scena Kenyon Trophy.

The purpose of thi s award, which is to be given at the end of each semester to the outstanding Gamma Nu Pledge , is to express the chapter 's sincere appreciation to Mrs. Scena Kenyon who has admirably and efficiently se rved the chapter for 35 years in her capacity as cook , unofficial house mother and devoted friend of each Beta

Cert a inly no one could be more deserving of the praise and honor of the Fraternity. She ha s led a difficult life, almost entirely devoted to the service of others. " Mrs K " was born in Atchison , Kansas, in 1887. When she was only 12 years old, her mother died. During the following years, she worked at odd jobs on neighboring farms, cooking and cleaning . In 1911, while working at one of these jobs , she met and married a cattle rancher. Economically and maritally, times were hard for " Mrs K "; in 1923 she brought her children to California , where once again she sought work as a cook.

Mrs . Kenyon began working for the Alpha Pi local fraternity in 1925, when UCLA was still in its infancy. Then in December 1926 , Alpha Pi became the Gamma Nu chapter of Beta Theta Pi. Since that time, "Mrs. K" has set a continual example of hard work, patience and wisdom which has had a tremendous effect on the members of Gamma Nu .

After her many years a t Gamm a Nu , Mrs. Kenyon has observed that " the Fraternity is a wonderful stimulus to bring out the best in young boys. Also those bo ys who have a pplied the Christian principles of Beta Theta Pi to their daily lives have met with the greatest success in their future years."

Then she added: "The best Betas were at breakfast before 8:30 in the morning."

Thus , in view of Mrs. Kenyon's continual service to the Fraternity and her influence on the

live s of Gamma Nu pledge s, act iv es and alumni , the chapter h as cre ate d this award as a n expression o f it s gratitude. It is offered as an in centive to each pledge to enrich his own life through service to the Fraternity and to UCLA. May this award always honor "Mrs. K" , the pledge who receives it and Beta Theta Pi.

The award is given to that pled ge of Gamma Nu who has most distinguished himself in hi s college career a t UCLA and who h as demonstrated the strongest potential le aders hip abilities within his pledge cl ass. Thi s includes effort a nd attitude toward his pledge assignments as well as over-all contributions to Gamma Nu, the university a nd the public.

In 1958 , the award was given first to Peter Wheelan , ' 60. Since then recipients have been Pledge John Gaustad, freshman , and Pledge Wayne Riblett , junior. In the fall semester of 1959 , the recipient of the award was Pledge James Mahoney , freshman

Chicago

"What is the difference between Beta Theta Pi and other fraternities?"

This was the provocative question which John Dolibois , Miami '42, discussed in an educational and inspiring manner at the 92nd annual meeting of Alpha Alumni chapter, Chicago, Illinois.

The l arg e gathering at the Chicago Yacht Club was well rewarded with a wonderful program. Besides the featured address by Brother Dolibois , Past President Chauncey G. Hobart, Northwestern '09, made the Fraternal Fifty presentations.

The firist presentation was to Kenneth Fi Burgess, Wisconsin ' 09, one of the foremos 1 attorneys in Chicago and senior partner in the firm of Sidley, Austin, Burgess and Smith. An1 other presentation was made to Robert E Wooden, Northwestern '13, secretary-treasureJ and director of Chas. A.

The Beta Nu Reunion weekend was rP,HllrPH by the Reunion Banquet held March 18 and _ , Beta Scandal, a full-length musical comedy pt 1 on by the active chapter March 19.

Guest speakers at the banquet were Franci M. Rich, Illinois ' 24, Vice President of th' Fraternity, and Administrative Secretary Fre · erick Brower, Miami '50.

The weekend was in celebration of Beta Nu i[ 70th year on the UC campus and served as kickoff for a fund-raising drive to finance new wing for the present chapter house.

Presented to Beta Nu as a gift from the Alph chapter at Miami was a portion of one of th stone lintels from the founding site of Bet Theta Pi, Miami's old Harrison Hall. Thes t lintels are believed to have been in the buildin; at the time Beta Theta Pi was founded, an< they bear a design which corresponds to th r' outline of the Beta badge. Many Betas believ1 this design may have been the inspiration fo the original design of the Marshall badge. Wher Harrison Hall was razed, the lintel was salvage c by Ralph N.

New England

Beta spirit and interest were rekindled in New England when the New England Alumni Association of Beta Theta Pi and the Beta Upsilon chapter of MIT joined forces to have a most successful banquet at the Faculty Club , Cambridge, Mass., on Feb . 12. This was a most unique function which combined the annual initiation ceremony of the Beta Upsilon chapter with the 80th annual New England Dorg.

Over 100 alumni and undergraduates witnessed the initiation ceremony and it must be reported that the chapter lived up to its reputation for making an excellent presentation of the ritual. The undergraduates should be congratulated for maintaining this fine tradition.

The banquet, which followed a brief social hour, was opened with an invocation by the Rev. Charles H. Buck, Jr., Johns Hopkins '36, dean of St. Paul ' s Cathedral, Boston, Mass.

The Alumni Association held a brief business meeting including election of officers for the coming year. New officers include George P. Kendall, St. Lawrence '52 , president; Harry M. Easton , Pennsylvania '26, vice president; Kenneth J. Draper, Jr ., Carn egie ' 56, secretary, and William E. Wheeler, Brown ' 19, treasurer.

The Roger Wolcott Memorial Scholarship Trophy was presented by President Kendall to the Bowdoin chapter for showing the most scholastic improvement in the past academic year.

Former Trustee Easton had the pleasure of introducing the Rev. Dr. Seth R. Brooks, St. Lawrence '22, General Secretary of the Fraternity.

Dr. Brooks, who is no stranger to New England , addressed the group on the general state of the Fraternity, paying special tribute to " The Great Ones " of Beta Theta Pi. Dr. Brooks ' address brought to a close a great day for Beta Theta Pi in New England. Men took their fir s t vows; others reinforced the ones they took years ago, and men left for their respective homes with first hand knowledge of the achievement of the Fraternity and its members as well as ideas and plans to maintain the high traditions of Beta Theta Pi.

There were many outstanding Beta alumni a t for JUNE, 1960

Presumably, a lintel with this outline appeared above the windows of Beta founders in Miami's Old Main, later renamed Harrison Hall. Outline conforms almost exactly with that of first Beta badge; curved sides of the badge were not introduced until 1 847

Going Strong at 95

(See photo on back Cover)

DETAILS FRoM EvENTS of another era thrilled Cleveland Betas in March as one of the Fraternity's oldest members made his annual visit with old friends there.

The Reverend Dr. Louis F. Ruf, Rutgers 1885, who lives with a 48-year-old son, William A. Ruf, in Brockport, N.Y., was back in Cleveland for his 95th birthday March 6. The trip included visiting with a son, James A. Ruf , 55, of Shaker Heights; spending several days as house guest of Albert C. May, Carnegie '21, a trustee of the Founders Fund of Beta Theta Pi, and enjoying his traditional birthday luncheon with Cleveland Betas.

Cleveland is a special place for Louis Ruf. He was pastor of Windermere Presbyterian Church in Cleveland , 1912-27. Then he was president of the Cleveland Presbytery. Mrs. Ruf died in Cleveland in 1947.

He has outlived many of his associates from his ministr y in Cleveland, yet he still has many friends there-for he has continued to make new and younger acquaintances on each new visit to Cleveland, and his own surprising youthfulness challenges and intrigues younger men.

Three topics among his reminiscences were

particularly fascinating to Cleveland Betas this time:

1. Once more they were thrilled to receive the Beta grip from a man who personally had shaken the hand of John Reily Knox as well as many other greats from the early years of Beta Theta • Pi.

2. They reveled in his story of working with Thomas Alva Edison as a young man, and of rejecting Edison's offer to make him a rich man. Ruf, who obtained an engineering degree from Rutgers before entering study for the ministry at Auburn (N.Y.) Seminary and the College of Wooster, worked for Edison in the early 1880's as a draftsman. He was halfway through his engineering course at Rutgers , he recalls, when Edison asserted that "I can teach you more than you'll learn in college and I can make you a rich man."

3. His first-hand reminiscences of contacts with great Betas of the past included some reference to his own part in negotiations for the union of Beta Theta Pi and the Mystical Seven. Some details of this were recounted on this visit by Brother May, who passed them along as follows:

After my graduation from Rutgers College in 1885 as a civil engineer and my experiences as a Y.M.C.A. Sec· retary in Columbus, Ga., I entered Auburn Theological Seminary at Auburn, N Y., with the class of 1890. M. D Makepeace, Cornell 1878, wh o had also been a member of Alpha Sigma Chi before its consolidation wit h Beta Theta Pi, and later was a Beta Theta Pi District Chief, was a practicing architect in Auburn , N Y. His office was rushed with plans (to build jails), and needing an extra draftsman he me part time. He was then appointed to the Beta Committee, including William Raimond Baird, Stevens 1878, Columbia 1882; John I. Covington, Miami 1870, and James T Brown, Cornell 1876. The joint committees were to meet in

New York City but Mr. Makepeace was too busy to attend. As I planned to visit my family in New Jersey for the Christmas vacation, he asked me to sub s titute for him We held our joint meeting on December 29, lBBB to agree upon the terms of consolidation. I remember that Brother Covington invited the members of the committees representing Beta Theta Pi and the Mystical Se ven to a dinner of the Presbyterian Church Union which was held that evening.

Brother Ruf was conspicuous -among the 250 or so Betas who gathered at the University Club in Cleveland the night of February 26 for the annual banquet of the Cleveland Beta Theta Pi Alumni Association. This has become an important event to Beta alumni of the area, and it served as initiation banquet for the chapters of both Western Reserve University and Case Institute of Technology.

Toastmaster was Norman M. Cornell, Western Reserve '29. Principal speaker was Dr. Joseph J. Romoda, St. Lawrence '33 , dean of his alma mater as well as Scholarship Commissioner and Former Trustee and Vice President of Beta Theta Pi. District Chief Wayne J. Albers, Miami '43, presented a report on the chapters of District XII and was awarded the William W . Dawson Loving Cup given each year to the man with the best attendance record at weekly luncheons of the past year. The customary song contest between the two local undergraduate chapters was won by Case on a split decision.

Yet the most memorable phase of a memorable evening was the return of this slender, white-haired patriarch who has been attending Beta functions longer than anyone else among us can remember.

Brother Ruf gave the invocation and later presented cards signifying membership in the Fraternal Fifties to Dr. Charles F. Briggs, Western Reserve '13, and J. Rogers Jewitt, Ohio Wesleyan and Western Reserve '13.

One other who had been scheduled to receive his Fraternal Fifties card from Brother Ruf was unable to attend, but a letter from him acknowledged the special meaning · this man ' s 50 years as a Beta held for Louis Ruf.

The absentee was Walter A. Barrows III , Western Reserve and Wisconsin '13-father of Walter A. Barrows IV, Yale '42 , and son of Walter A. Barrows , Jr., Rutgers 1888.

Ruf could recall that before he left college , an older friend, Walter A. Barrows, "placed his son Walter , Jr., in my care when the boy came as a freshman to Rutgers College." Ruf guided Walter, Jr. , into Beta Theta Pi as #56 on the Beta Gamma chapter roll. He officiated at this young man's wedding, watched him become for JUNE, 1960

president of the Thomas Iron Co. and the Ironton Railroad Company, and eventually officiated at his funeral.

"It is wonderful to know that his son now is eligible for membership in the Fraternal Fifties and that the Beta ties h a ve bound together three generations ," Ruf commented

The traditional Ruf birthday luncheon was held five days later, at the Cleveland Betas' regular weekly luncheon, in the Cleveland Athletic Club . A cake with much fewer than 95 candles was lit in his honor , and his favorite Beta songs were sung to his complete satisfaction. (J. W . HORRIGAN, Miami '24 , and ALBERT C. MAY, Carnegie '21)

One-Man Show

A DozEN YEARS Aao, he was a promising music student whose prodigious skill in basketball overshadowed the musical talent which actually was helping him gain a college education.

Today, his reputation as a four-time AllAmerican and record sco rer ha s retreated into at hletic history as he has created a new fame throught his first talent. But there's a direct carryover from sports in his own efforts to encourage youngsters, through athletics, to improve themselves.

The Tony Lavelli One-Man Show is a conspicuous example of a man who has achieved balance between artistic talent and extraordinary athletic skill, perhaps capitalizing off his sports reputation without permitting that reputa tion to dominate the rest of his life. The Tony Lavelli One-Man Show is a two-part, two-hour performance featuring Anthony Lavelli, Jr., Yale ' 49 , who attended Yale on a music scholarship while achieving All-American recognition and a new major college scoring record in basketball.

He acknowledges fans' continued interest in his basketball fame by including some ballhandling stunts along with songs, dance and comedy with audience participation in the

second half of his act. The first portion of program features a variety of music deJmonsltr: l ing his artistry on the accordion.

He has been working closely with Eisenhower's Council on Youth Fitness, ing as an " Ambassador at Large." The Fitness Program is aimed at promoting the ph) ical, mental and moral well-being of sters, and much of Lavelli's work in th1s stems from the young audiences who attend l matinee performances.

Tony Lavelli was featured on a national work as an accordion prodigy before anyo1 heard of his amazing hook shot.

As a youngster from Somerville, Mass., at 12, he performed on the NBC network in York City. During college, he played many fessional engagements as an accordionist, pla ing Broadway's Roxy Theatre, summer resort radio and early television shows with Patti Eddie Fisher and Donald O'Connor.

His early post graduate experience as an tertainer had a strong element of circus

The Boston Celtics hired him, at the hi salary ever paid up to that time, to play ball and do a half-time entertainment in tion.

Abe Saperstein, operator of the Globetrotters, promptly bought him away wi a bigger salary. He named Tony of the American All-Stars, the ilnhPitrnttPin l opposition team at the time, and musical direc tor of an accompanying variety show. T

Musician-athlete blends two talents in novelty half of the One-Man Show

Tony Lavelli, Musician, 1960

traveled over much of the world in this dual role. Between tours , he was on his own in various phases of the entertainment field. He developed the Tony Lavelli One-Man Show after seven years with the Globetrotters.

He has appeared on the Ed Sullivan and Steve Allen shows. He has published at least two albums of recordings: "All-American Accordionist" on Urania records and "Accordion Classics" on Folkways.

This degree of success in a decade ha s meant a lot of hard work, a lot of barnstorming But to Tony Lavelli, it proves there's a future in show business that's compatible with the aims of a college degree in the fine arts.

"Making art pay in the theatrical and concert world today is a great challenge ," Lavelli says. "The electronic media of television, radio, the motion picture screen and phonograph records pretty much control the entertainment of the masses. There is ample room in these fields for well-prepared, outstanding college students.

"As for live entertainment in terms of the concert world and the legitimate theatre, there are few opportunities. Veterans of many years' experience in these media today find it difficult to gain an adequate year's employment. There are many prominent exceptions to this general rule. However, in these past ten years, television has so controlled the entertainment of the masses that live entertainment has withered.

"As for the categories of concert and theatre, these media greatly stress culture and education as well as entertainment. As such, they offer

the public something different with the accent on unu sual quality.

"T hese remain narrow, limi ted fields but healthy and vigorous.

"Live entertainment surely requires that an enterprising artist have plently of determination and courage to live one's dream. I understand that Mort Sahl, that dynamic young comic, auditioned for 76 night clubs in the Los Angeles area before he got a paying job. His efforts during this stage were spread over seve r al months. But he h ad something different which he believed in and he finally projected it into national prominence.

"T he college man certainly has a responsibility for devoting some of his talent to the public good. This applies to the entertainer and artist. Show personalities are const a ntl y devoting their time and talent to worthy causes. Much of this is for the sake of good public relations and keeping a favorable impression of one's self in the public eye. But those of us in show business who have personal contact with outstanding personalities truly feel the deep conviction of many stars for human relations. Jerry Lewis and his work for muscular dystrophy are certainly noteworthy.

" In my case , I'm deeply interested in the field of education and juvenile delinquency. As a youth, I was encouraged by the Boston Young Men 's Christian Association, the Charleston Boys Club and the Catholic Youth Organization in my horne town of Somerville , Mass. This was extracurricular work in addition to the sports and arts facilities of the high school and public system. As I travel all over North America with the Tony Lavelli One-Man Show, I've been performing special matinees for young audiences. At these shows, the primary object is to entertain youngsters but I also try to inspire and encourage youngsters to take an interest in athletics and the arts as well as their school studie s.

" No busy , happy kid who is encouraged by a parent or friend will have trouble with juvenile delinquency . This is strikingly brought home to me by many former friends and associates in the music and sports fields who are so successful in their respective communities I try to impart this message to my audiences without preaching to them. Youngsters hear much of that in the home , school and church. But after one h as entertained them an d won their respect , it is appropriate to slip in a short me ssage with real impact

"Yo uthful audiences have a very friendly, open mind if y ou meet them with a down-toearth attitude and first win their respect and confidence."

On Top Down Under

IN A DECADE OF BUSINESS LEADERSHIP in Australia as a leader in the field of business abrasives, one Beta has devoted much of his time and resources to making certain that relations between his country and Australia involve the least possible abrasiveness.

Hugh C. Campfield, Union '22, in 1951 became the first managing director of Behr-M a nning (Australia) Pty. Ltd ., when this subsidiary to the Norton Company of Worcester , Mass. , was formed. Behr - Manning Pty. Ltd. was formed to replace an Australian subsidiary to Durex Abrasives Corporation, one of several subsidiaries through which he had gained experience in the field of abrasives, and he first had gone to Australia in 1950 in an advisory capacity to the managing director of Australian Durex.

During his residency in Australia , he has developed a strong interest in many phases of Australian culture by establishing an Australian Section in the Library of the Union College. His collection covers a wide range of fields including Australian literature , history , politics and fictional works . He has contributed Australian mineral specimens to the geology department of Union College as well.

In Sydney business circles , he is treasurer of the Australian Manufacturers Export Council , is a council member of the Australi a n Institute of Management, and holds a ranking position on the executive committee of the American Society in Sydney.

An honor graduate in science, Campfield completed his college after two terms of military service and was to become a lieutenant colonel in a third. He served in the Mexican Border campaign in 1916. In World War I, he was a pilot instructor in the Air service. By World War II, he held a reserve lieutenant colonelcy in the Coast Artillery. However , he returned .to active duty with the Air Force and was assigned to comm a nd the Inner Harbor defenses of Port-au-Spain , Trinidad. A later command included Tinker Field in Oklahoma City.

He is a native of Washington , D.C. , and retains his American citizenship His long background in the abrasives manufacturing field started with the Herman Behr Company in Brooklyn in 1923. Upon consolidation of the Behr and Manning firms, he took up new duties in exporting.

He became assistant secretary of Durex Abrasives when Behr-M a nning joined this in-

for JUNE, 1960

ternational sales group. Later he was secretary and trea s urer of Durex Abrasives Corporation , The Durex Corporation and Canadian Durex Abrasives Ltd. between 1931 a nd 1948 .

Since 1951, Behr-Manning in Australia has developed steadil y to a point where it is the l argest manufacturer and supplier of industrial coated abrasives and tapes in Australasia. Popula rly identified by the well-advertised "Bear Brand" trademark , the product line also includes a comprehensive range of adhesives and coatings for industrial and consumer markets Sales branche s have been established in major cities of Australia and in Wellington, New Zealand. A subsidiary plant in Lidcombe , New South Wales , included the first example in Australia of the revolutionary " Lift-Slab" construction technique

GIVE THEM THE WORD!

Fraternity rush is competitive: unless both are alerted, the chapter can overlook a fine prospect and the fine prospect can overlook Beta. Help them get together!

Since our installation last October, Delta Beta has had a n eventful Winter and Spring. In December we held our first Winter Formal a t the Desert Willow Guest Ranch , where we were the guests of the owner R. F. (Brownie) Cote , Minn esota ' 26. The first Mtamt Triad was held in March at the El Conquistador Hotel. The following d a y a joint desert picnic wa s held in conjunction with Phi Delta Theta.

The chapter held its first initiation the second week in M a rch , adding nine men to the ch a pter roll. They are: Michael Dickson , ' 63, Indianapolis , Ind. ; Carlton Brown , '63 , Scottsdale ; John Fonte , ' 61 , Shaker Heights, Ohio;_ Richard Rea, ' 63 , Scottsdale; Warner Lee, '60, Tucson ; Ba rton Zeller , ' 63 , Chicago, Ill.; Anthony Matz , '61 , Tucson , and Grant Logan '62 , Gale sburg, Ill . Zeller is the brother of Miles Zeller, Ari zona '61.

Ch a pter officers elected . March 28 include Peter Diener , '61 , president; Forster Cayce, ' 61 , vice president; Dickson , secretary ; Forster Cooper , ' 61 , treasurer , and Logan, corresponding secretary.

Diener also has been elected vice president of Interfr a ternity Council. We consider this a gre a t honor , since Beta Theta Pi is the most recent addition to the Arizona IFC selected as the outstanding IFC in the nation at the National Interfraternity Council meetings last Winter in New York.

Mention should be m a de of the outstanding work done by Thomas Glover , '61 , as the chapter 's fir s t pre s ident. He was the Delta Beta loc al pre sident and delegate to the 1959 General Conv e ntion of Bet a Theta Pi. In appreciation of a job well done , Brother Glover was pre sented with a President's badge.

The chapter concluded a successful second seme ster ru sh. The following ten men are now proud wearers of the pledge button:

Frank Bastis , Pewaukee , Wis .; John Ralph , Salt Lake City, Ut a h ; Al a n Knox , Cas cade, Colo.; Charles Claus , Ottaw a , Ill. ; Gary Martin , Libertyville , Ill. ; Stephen McKean, Grinnell, Iowa ; John Anderson , Chicago, Ill. ; John Beck , Tuc son; Robert Kipperrnan , Coron a do , Calif ., and Leon Lancaster, Winslow.

All are freshmen except Bastis , Claus , Anderson and Beck, sophomores. Knox is the brother of George Knox, Ari z ona ' 62. Beck is the brother of David Beck, Colorado College ' 59.

Delta Beta has been well represented this year in varsity athletics. Matz, Charles Raetzman, ' 60, and Pledge Martin saw considerable action on the gridiron last fall. Raetzman was awarded the Governor's Trophy as the outstanding senior football player, and Matz was elected 1960 captain . Miles Zeller and Lee were starters on the varsity basketball team and Lee was the third high scorer Barton Zeller saw action with the freshman cagers . Miles Zeller , is also a starting pitcher for the varsity b a seball team and saw action last year in the College World Series.

Arizona Betas are looking forward to sending a large delegation to Convention, when we hope to report further progress , particularly in scholarship. (GRANT LOGAN , '62 , Corresponding Secretary)

For the fifth consecutive semester, the Kappa chapter has improved both its average and scholastic standing among fraternities. The chapter is currently sixth in fraternity standings. The house was cited for special praise by our chapter counselor , Judge Joseph R. Weisberger, '42 , and Di strict Chief James Dana, Maine '49.

Once again this year the "Beta Line" consisting of David Laub, '60; Robert Battel , ' 60, and Eugene Pfeifer, ' 62 , h a s led the varsity hockey to an excellent third place in the Ivy Le a gue . (DONALD H . LAR EAU, JR ., '61 Corr esponding Secretary)

UCLA

The 1960 spring pledge class of Gamma Nu chapter is an outstanding group. The pledges ' past records foretell a bright future in both their university work and their careers as Betas.

The pledges are:

· Thomas Landis , Thomas Anderson, Rich ar d Covey and Stephen Cashin, Los Angeles, Calif ; Edward Newton, San Jose, Calif.; Jeffery Garner, Santa Ana , Calif.; James Bergman, Wilmington , John St a nfill, Glendale, Calif ; Robert Smith, Pasadena , Calif.; Eric Larson, North Hollywood , Calif.; and Joseph Bauwens, Rock Island, Ill.

Landis was editor of his high school paper and has been on the UCLA freshman swimming team. Newton, a football, baseball and track man in high school, is out for freshman track at UCLA. Garner was student body president, yell leader and swimming captain in high school.

Bergman was student body president and cocaptain of the Los Angeles high school football all-stars. The Bank of America awarded him a $1,000 prize in a math-science contest. Bauwens, high school football All-American, was a standout on the UCLA freshman team. Anderson has been first string in both freshman basketball and baseball. Stanfill in high school was Boys League president and played football and baseball.

Smith was president of his sophomore, junior and senior classes and won honors in baseball and football. He was captain and top player of the UCLA freshman football team. Covey was an outstanding swimmer in high school. Larson was high school senior class president and on football, basketball and swimming teams.

Several among the 14 men initiated February 27 already have distinguished themselves in a wide variety of campus activities. Frederick Port and Nelson Rising, both '63, were standouts on the freshman football team; Harry McDean , '63, and Chase Morgan, '63, are doing well in freshman track, while David Ardell , '63, is on the freshman baseball team.

On the wrestling team are Jonathan McCoy and Michael Gordon, both ' 63. Kurt Visser , ' 63 , is a member of the Yeoman, honor society, and James Mahoney, '63 , has been named a delegate to the Model United Nations . (WALTER HOWALD, '61)

California

Although Omega remains active in school affairs and is planning to actively enter Greek Week festivities, our greatest improvement has for JUNE, 1960

been in scholarship. Due partly to a revived awareness in scholarship and a new pledge scholarship program , our present average is at its highest level in the past five years.

Omega has kept pace with school athletics as well as presenting a fine intramural record. We currently have members on the freshman basketball, tennis and track team s, as well as varsity swimming. James Ferguson , '61, playing second five-eighths , and John English, '6 1, considered one of the best hookers in the country, hope to lead the varsity rugby team to its second World Cup

Our Spring Overnight will be held in the Carmel Mountains, and we anticipate a big success. We also look forward to our Spring Formal: The Big Six.

At initiation for nine this semester, Herbert E. Hall , California '16, was banquet toastmaster. (RICHARD S. RAILTON, JR., ' 61, Corresponding Secretary)

Carnegie

Gamma Iota began the second semester of the 1959-60 year in pleasant fashion by initiating, on February 14, sixteen fall-semester pledges. These new brothers certainly are a welcome addition to the chapter, not only socially but scholastically as well, as their accumulative factor was third among 12 fraternity pledge classes on campus.

This fine showing, together with that of the rest of the chapter, helped us to win again, and thus retire , the interfraternity scholarship trophy.

Our successes are not exclusively scholastic, however. Five brothers are out for the varsity track team , and we claim three lettermen in swimming, to rank first on campus in both these important sports. Of the swimmers, John Crecine, '61, was this year's team c a ptain and high-point man; Thomas Vandersalrn, ' 62 , became second high-point man and broke two school records in the process , and Joseph Oldfield , ' 62 , was the team's high-point diver.

An interesting sidelight on initiation: We were honored to have in attendance Albert C. May, Carnegie '21 , one of the charter members of Gamma Iota and Trustee of the Beta Theta Pi Founders Fund , and Carlton Mellick, Northwestern '28, executive vice president of MiehleGoss-Dexter , Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of printing machinery, who carne to be present at the initiation of his son, Guy, the latest in a long line of Betas in the family.

Beta Tau has captured the intramural le o once again . The spirit so prevalent at the . games can be seen in all the activities we ha' undertaken this year. We captured first plac football and waterpolo , and we are in the for the basketball championship.

Beta Tau has become conscious of the irr portance of high scholastic endeavors. Thus, v. have arranged study tables in the chapter roon where the brothers may study undisturbed. I regard to relations with the University, we hav innovated once again by inviting professors t speak on topics of interest at some of our meet ings.

We are conducting an intensified rush pro gram in the spring semester to pick up man good men who did not go through rush in th autumn. By March, we had pledged Rober Lewis Montgomery, freshman; David Ballarr tyne Curtis, Lester Lee Patrick and Normal Richard Rothie, sophomores, and Charles Elde1 McCormick, Jr., and Bert Lynch Haywood juniors.

Recent cash donations from our alumni havf been utilized to place new desks and rugs i most of the rooms and to place acoustic tile o the ceilings of the second and third floors. Wf! realize the importance of amiable relations witH our alumni and therefore we are formulating plans to invite them to visit us at their con· venience.

We placed a close second in the Interfraternity songfest.

Jack Christy Greenwald, '61, is in charge o the Student Travel Information Bureau and is1 assistant chairman of the University Memoria ll Center planning committee. Theodor Allem Grossman , Jr., '61, is UMC photographic direc- · tor. David Allen Wright, '61, is president of 1

Also our guests were several members of other fraternities as a part of Greek Week, February 8-14 The chapter placed third in the Greek Week bicycle race and second in the chariot competition.

We placed first in scholarship for the first semester , 1959. After several semesters in second place, we were glad to reach the top.

Davidson

Phi Alpha chapter moved vigorously into her one hundred and first year by pledging 24 in September rush Projects undertaken by the pledges, accompanied by actives, included weekly visits to the Children's Hospital in Gastonia , N.C.

Chapter members , not content to bask in the reflected glory of a century of Phi Alpha predecessors, set themselves to the task of serving their school and fraternity well through responsible positions. The pace of Beta leadership has been set by such men as Ward McKeithen, '60, president of Interfraternity Council , David W. Robinson, Jr., '60 , YMCA president , and W. Dabney Stuart III, '60, president of 0 D. K. Stuart and David Gilmour, '62 , occupied seats on the highly-respected Honor Court. Milton C. Gee , Jr. , '60, presided as chief justice over the Court of Control, a body designed to instill freshmen with an awareness of their heritage at Davidson. (Brother Gee was an awesome instiller!)

Betas also took command in the military , with Battle Group Commander Gee and Company Commanders William Davis , '60 , and John Glenn, ' 60 , leading the way The brig a de staff of four officers included two Betas: Robert L. Avinger , Jr ., '60 , and Stuart.

William W. Salzer, Jr. , ' 62 , and Cecil B. Holcomb , Jr., '62 , played varsity football. The soccer squad had Beta co-captains , Ward McKeithen and Thomas Johnson, '60 .

In a year which bas seen Davidson shaken by talk of a breakdown of the fraternity system, Phi Alpha has found strength in the ties of friendship and foresees no danger of the ending of her cherished tradition of brotherhood. Indeed, there is an atmosphere of forward-looking optimism which is gratifying to undergraduates and alumni alike.

Under the leadership of Pledge Trainers Buford A. Tynes, '6 1, and David J. Warner, '61, Gamma Rho carried out a completely revised pledge program. This stressed academic achievement by initiating a compulsory pledge st udy h a ll and abolishing all unnecessary pledge duties, to ass ist the pledges in taking their pl a ce in the university community .

The close of the spring semester also brings our final payment to the University on a threeyear $3,000 loan for the furnishing of our newly-acquired chapter room, clearing Gamma Rho of all financial obligations.

As warm weather returned to North Carolina, after two crippling blizz ards in March, Beta varsity athletes were once again in active competition: Captain Robert F. Zimmerman, '61, and John W. Cullen III, '61, golf; Captain Richard I. Katz , '60, James N. Barton, '60, in tennis , and Bennett W. Goodspeed , '60, and Kevin F Cunningham, '60, in lacrosse.

Soci a lly , spring found Gamma Rho wellrepresented in the organization of Duke 's annual spring carnival , Joe College Weekend . D . Laird Blue, ' 61; Walter H. Gilleland III, '61; Cyrus L. Gray, '62; Douglas M. McKnight, '61, and Buford A . Tynes , '61, held positions on the Joe College steering committee , which brought the orchestras of Ralph Flanagan and Buddy Morrow , along with the Hi-Lo's, to the campus .

Raleigh , North Carolina, was the scene of Gamma Rho's pledge formal. The credit for its tremendous success is attributed to Robert L. Brohmal , '62, social chairman . (WALTER H. GILLELAND III , '61, Chairman of Publicity and Publications)

Florida

Another Beta " first " was ch a lked up on the weekend of February 13 , when Gamma Xi chapter traveled as a group to Florida State University, Tallahassee. On that weekend, the long dreamed-of FSU sere nade came true , as brothers and pledges under the direction of Chorister Harry D. Crews, '60, serenaded coeds in the dormitories a nd sorority hou ses of that campus. That the journey to Tallahassee was a success was due in part to the housing arranged through the aid of Clyde W. Atkinson, '27, a founder of the Delta Tau local fraternity at Florida which

Illinois Initiation: Waiting for the Neophytes

was chartered by Beta Theta Pi in 1930.

Nearly two-thirds of the chapter's Fall pledge class " made their grades " in the first semester and were in the group of 22 initiated on March 13. On that date, Michael W. Crews ' 63 , was awarded the Rex W. Catlin Memorial Beta Badge for best pledge scholarship. Speaker at the initi a tion banquet was Dr. Maurice Boyd, Missouri '43, professor of social sciences at the university.

At this writing, the chapter stands at the top of Blue League intramural athletic competition. Gamma Xi is anxiously awaiting the results of student government elections, for one of our members , C. S. (Buz) Allen, '61, is one of the two candidates for president of Florida's 11 ,000member student body. (DAVID L. WILLING , '57, Correspondent)

Georgia Tech

Again this winter quarter , Gamma Eta showed its leadership in all phases of school activities.

In the race for the IFC trophy , the chapter's hopes of winning were increased by the first place in the gymnastics meet. Arthur Watson Jeppe, '63, scored 17 of the chapter 's 25 points by taking firsts in the tumbling and parallel ba rs, plus a fourth in the rope c limb. The chapter's noble efforts in the Red Cross blood drive was rewarded by five IFC points , and even more points were amassed by the victory in the ping-pong tournament.

Many individuals in Gamma Eta have been accorded various honors. Chapter President Wallace B. Bruce, Jr. , '60, was awarded the World Student Fund scholarship to study in Stuttgart, Germany, next year. For the second

straight year, the Georgia Tech YMCA chosen a Beta as its representative in Russia This s ummer , it will be Fredrick B. Bywater , '61 who also has been elected vice president of IFC Julian 0 .

Idaho

Gamma Gamma is s till maintammg its top position on the University of Idaho campus as it h as done in the past.

Bruce McCowan , '61, has been elected student body president by one of the largest majorities ever cast in the history of the ASUI (Associated Students of the University of Idaho) elections.

Gamma Gamma has maint a ined at le as t one man on the nine m a n student executive board for the p as t fifteen yea rs and a st udent bod y president every three years for the past nin e years.

As far as other a ctivitie s a re concerned , the award presented by the annual North west Bet a Song Fest speaks for itself.

After a successful fall, Sigm a Rho is well on its way to rounding out the year with a host o f spring activities.

Giving their added impetus to the chapter are our 13 new initiates, who s ince Feb. 20 ha ve been wearing the diamond and three stars.

Vice President Francis M. Rich , Illinois '24, General Treasurer Edmond B. Stofft , Knox '20, and District Chief Phillip Morris, Wittenberg ' 40 , attended the initiation.

The Betas of Alpha Beta have had a successful year. The groundwork was laid in the fall of '59 when after a strong rush program the Betas pledged 18 men. Under the guidance and motivation of our new rush chairman, Robert E. Benson, ' 62, the Betas intend to have another rush program as successful as the past one. Extensive plans already are being made.

In the area of athletics, the members of Alpha Beta have been very prominent this year. Richard Shaw, '63, was one of the outstanding freshman basketball players and Thomas Cromwell, '63, was regarded by the coaches as the top freshman swimmer. Pledge Herbert J.

Knudten is out for freshman golf. Thomas , Hyde, '61, will be going after his second varsity letter in track, and William Moore, '62, plans t0 1 play varsity football. The chapter has been successful in intramurals also, placing second in football and basketball.

Socially, there have been two main parties : the Barn Party and the Winter Formal. The Bowery Brawl is our big spring party. Besides ' this, there have been numerous other functions , among them being the Saturday morning breakfasts with the sororities which have been an interest to all the members and also a big hit on campus

Scholarship has always been one of the most important aspects of Alpha Beta. This year has been no exception. For the first semester we ranked fourth among 21 fraternities, with onefourth of the house having a 3.0 or better. Two of the four men on the interfraternity scholarship committee are Betas : Dennis Samuelson, '62, and Lewis Drain, '61.

The members also have been active in other organizations on campus. Besides having members on Union Board, Greek Week committees and political groups, the Betas have Raymond G Burdick , '61, who is city editor of the school paper and Benjamin W. Blackstock , ' 60, who is managing editor.

Officers elected in February are Lewis D . Drain , '61, president ; Thomas H. Cromwell , '63, vice president; Dennis R. Samuelson, ' 62 , secretary; Thomas C. Hyde, '61, treasurer; John W.

Iowa State

Tau Sigma chapter is particula)."ly proud of Jam es S Ballo u n, '60, Ronald W. Hoppel, '61, and Robert L. Anderson, ' 60, who have atta ined distinction and honor on the University campus.

B allo u n, since being featured in the June 1959 issue, has presided over Cardinal Guild and has been elected to Cardinal Key, hjghest men ' s honorary at I.S.U. and torr (Greek leadership), T B II (engineering) (industrial engineering). In addition to his fine scho larship he has been a member of the I.S.U. Singers, has been featured in a movie titled The Power and Pride which tells of his naval and collegiate life, and received a Chicago Tribune Award for outmilitary achievement

Continuing Beta's fine tradition of leadership on the campus in the forthcoming year will be Ronald W. Hoppel , '61, as Interfraternity Council President. Ron, son of Kenneth William Hoppel, South Dakota , '33 , has for the past three years been a member of Iowa State University Singers This year he has been vice president of Singers and a member of the Varsity Four quartet and <I> M A Sinfonia . By serving

the University well as chairman of Homecoming Queens and Decorations Committee and on the IFC Activities Board, Veishe a Central Committee and Homecoming Central Committee, R on recently was elected for membersrup in r r, Greek leadership honorary , and The Knights of St. Patrick, activities honorary . It may well be expected that Ron will preside over IFC with the same keen judgment that he used in the past year to guide T chapter as chapter pre sident

The fine performances of Robert L. Andersen , '60, on Iowa State 's famed "Dirty Thirty" has led him to be awarded the Reuben Miller trophy as "the player who contributed the most to the team both on and off the field." He twice has been named Athlete of the Week. In addition to being selected to the first string 1959 All -Beta Football Team (January 1960 issue) Bob has been vice president of Varsity "I" Club and Horticulture Club representative to Agriculture Council. Next year he will join Head Coach Clay Stapleton ' s staff as an assistant coach. Bob served his chapter well in 1958 as secretary and before that as scholarship chairman. It could well be said that his sincere interest and enthusiasm truly exemplify the name of Beta.

Newly elected officers include David W. Eyre , '61, president ; Stanford F Griffith , ' 63 , vicepresident ; Richard C. Boast, '63 , secretary ; C. William Ga y nor , '62 , treasurer ; John A . Bach , '63, pledge tr a iner and historian; Douglas W. Wiesner , '61 , rush ch a irman ; Stephen T. Wilder , '62 , house manager ; J. Thomas Rohwer , '63, scholarship chairman ; Edward A. Sa nborn, '61 , social chairman and James H. Horan , '62 , historian. (RICHARD C. BoAST , ' 63, Secr e tary)

Kansas State

Figures released by the university for the fall semester indicate Gamma Epsilon is rated second in scholarship (slightly behind an agricultural fraternity) among the 22 fraternities. The pledge class average also was second with 20 of the 23 pledges attaining at least the "C" average required by the university for initiation.

The chapter is currently ranked first in the intramural sports standings, having won first pl a ce in volleyball and many seconds and thirds in other sports.

On the varsity track team are Jerry Hess, '60; Lowell Renz , '6 0 ; Jerry Johnson , '60; Robert Baker , '62, a nd Murray Corbin , '61. Pledges Junior Thiry and Rex Stephenson have been out for freshman track.

During the fall semester a new freshman dormitory was constructed onto the southern extremity of the chapter house. It blends well with the rest of the -house, provides sleeping quarters for about thirty-six men , and is a welcome rushing asset.

Gamma Epsilon was honored during the month of February by many distinguished visitors . In the early part of the month District Chief Harold Hook , Missouri ' 53 , and President Sherwood M. Bonney, Dickinson '31, joined the chapter for lunch. In late February Rick Harmon , ' 50 , K-State All-American , and Kansas' Governor George Docking, whose two sons are Alpha Nu Betas, were guests of the chapter before the Kansas State-Kansas University basketball game .

Murray Corbin , ' 61 , alumni secretary, bas been revising the chapter alumni rolls. Any alumni not receiving chapter correspondence are urged to write him as soon as possible . (ToM MARTIN, '61, Corre s ponding Secretary)

As a result of a n extensive scholarship p: gram and an a ll-out effort on the part of b a ctives and pledges , we Knox Betas found 0 1 selves well above the campus All-Men's avera of 1.50 (1, 2, 3 corresponding to C, B , A , spectively) when semester grades were relea st Through a continuation of the rigid standah we have set for ourselves this past semester, · of Xi chapter are looking forward to an imme \ ate future whose merits will make our lo) alumni proud of us. We of Xi would especia like to express our sincere appreciation to same alumni who recently sponsored a progr a of remodeling the chapter house .

We were well represented on campus this p a year. Philip Burgess , '61, presided over the IF· Debate Club and Young Republicans wh i Geraghty officiated over Scabbard & Bla · Geraghty and Faubel were honored with a pointments to Friars. Retaining places on tl Dean 's List of honor students were Larry Fie enscher, '62, and Robert Gossrow, ' 62 .

William H.

Lehigh

Rushing at Lehigh this year was a treme dous success for Beta Chi. Pledges this sprin include the following:

Frederick W . Beard, Allentown, Pa.; Kent L. Bonney and Gilbert L. Va nValkenberg , Scarsdale , N.Y ; Robert G Coo, Pittsburgh , Pa .; John W Dickey , Phil a delphi a, Pa .; Thomas T.

This pledge class certainly is the best at Lehigh , and must rank among the be s t of all time for Beta Chi . This year's rushing success w as due prim a rily to the efforts of Rush Co-Chairmen Edward J. Hamer , ' 60 ; Richard A. Schumacher , '60 , and Robert A. Scheu , '61.

Athletically, this class is represented in every major sport at Lehigh , is particip a ting in m a ny campus activities and is substantially a bove the university a verage in scholarship.

At the pledging ceremonies held April 14 a t the chapter house , the brother s and pledges were honored to have as speaker President Sherwood M. Bonney , Dickinson '31. It was a very happy evening for our chapter and Beta Theta Pi in general because Kent L. Bonne y, son of our General President , was among the 18 men pledged.

This year the Betas have continued to lead the campus in a race of many top fraternities. Besides our rushing victory, we are out ahead in the All-Sports Trophy race. A good spring will sew this up. A recent Fraternity and University Wrestling Championship gave our efforts a strong boost toward thi s troph y.

Lehigh fraternities ar e undergoing a period of construction, with four new houses already completed and more in the planning stage. The age of Beta Chi's present physic a l pl a nt indicates that a renovation is needed , since there h ave been no major repairs or a lterations in it s life. The fraternity construction a t Lehigh heighten s this need by lowering our competitive situation

with reg a rd to li vin g qu a rters. Our drive to raise funds is continuing s m oot hl y, a nd we hope to h ave Bet a C hi renov a ted soo n .

And once again during rushing, all the brothers worked closely together in a mutual effort to a ttract some of the outstanding men in the freshman class. The result was that we pledged 20 excellent young men, all of whom we feel will make fine Betas:

Jeffer y Acker , William Bennett, David Bo ynton , Ra ymond Caron , Sterling Clockedile, Ronald Cnossen , Robert Craig, Dennis F a rrell , Henry Filliettaz , Mark Hambleton , Bri a n Hogan , Rick Kalkofen , William Kendall , John La ban , Richard Labrecque, Warren

Center of campus conversation Homecoming Weekend was our 20 -foot - tall " Welcome Alumni" Beta ·Dragon. The Dragon was complete with fl a shing red eyes and tape recorded roars which came from his mouth. We were glad that more th a n 100 alumni could be with us for Homecoming, and we feel proud that so many a lumni have returned to the bouse on many other occasion s throughout the year .

But the most important aspect of fraternity life is the m a nne r in which the brothers govern them selve s and live together throughout the

entire year. The unity which has been displayec by the brothers of Beta Eta in all matters o l common interest among them and the harmon ) and closeness which has been noticeable at al times among the brothers , ha s trul y helped t follow the ideals for which Beta Theta Pi founded (DAVID S. LAMB , '62)

Miami

The Alph a chapter of Beta Theta Pi stands• first among Miami University's 21 fraternities in scholarship for the third consecutive semester• and the fourth time in the pa st six semesters.

Final averages for the fall semester showed ! Beta Theta Pi with a 2.6373 average (4.0 for A) as compared to an all-fraternities average of 2.3830 and an all -men's average of 2 .2347 . Sixteen of 21 Miami fraternities are above the all-men 's average. (See also BETA ATHLETES)

As we head into the summer here at the Alpha chapter, we bid our goodbyes to the graduating seniors and wish them well in their future endeavors. For many of them, military service is on the forefront. We say service because it truly is service even though it is of a different nature than the usual campus positions of leadership. Business and further education will be the aims of a few graduates as they seek to find their niche in life and begin their "productive years" in society Many and varied are the places to which these men will go, but we feel that they will succeed in any endeavor just as they have brought honor to themselves while here at Miami.

We also look ahead to August and see that the Alpha Migration has been set for the weekend of August 5 , 6 , and 7. This annual affair brings Alphas back to the famed landmarks of Miami for a period of fun and relaxation. Good food, good company and good outdoor fun are provided for all who attend. Last year's Migration drew 60 men from a wide range of classes and some from a good distance away from Miami More will be said later on this topic, including specific information as to times and accommodations (WILLIAM NoRTH , '62, Alumni S ecretary)

Mich igan

Lambda chapter pulled it self out of a slight academic slump when it broke above the allmen 's average on the campus. Among fraternities we r a nked twelfth , or eight pl a ces higher than the all -fraternity average.

After initiating a record 100 % of the fall pledge class , the chapter hopes to m a intain the

same record with the 11 men pledged in Spring rush. These are:

Frederick Balfour, Bangor; Thomas Brown, Birmingham; Charles Buckley, Centerline; Michael May, Grosse Pointe; Fred Dibbert, Donald Swift and Philip Turnock, Elkhart, Ind.; James (Pep) Gnewuch, DePere, Wis.; Allen Hanley, Seattle, Wash.; Frank Maloney, Chicago, Ill., and Michael Hanov, Windsor , Ontario, Canada.

Arthur K. Gnewuch '61, was one of a select few chosen from the NROTC unit at Michigan to travel to the Mediterranean this summer, for eight weeks. Victor E. Mix, '61, Charles F. Cummins, Jr., '61, and Harry B. Cummins, '61, will be with the Navy sailing out of the West coast this summer.

Tau Beta Pi (Engineering) has elected Clifford W. Galen, '60, and William M. Gomez, '61. Already a member was John F. Bloodgood, '60.

At campus elections, John Tuohy, '62, was elected to the Board of Directors of the Michigan Union.

Lambda's new home nears completion. We are hoping it will have been completed far enough so that it will receive the graduating class for an open house on the day of commencement. The alumni have been extraordinarily cooperative and helpful to us; and, as has been said many times, a debt of gratitude is owed to them. A comment was heard recently, from areliable member of the Ann Arbor Trust Co., that never had such support from the alumni of a fraternity been seen on this campus-this particular gentleman was amazed (JoHN TuoHY , '62, Secretary)

A chapter retreat and a faculty speaking program are two new, and we hope lasting, institions which have been established this semester at Beta Omicron.

The retreat took place February 6 and 7. This was the first meeting of its kind that this chapter has bad in many years a nd was of an experimental nature. The purpose was to get the chapter together and try to arrive at some constructive ideas that would benefit the chapter as a whole . The success of this retreat was much more than had been hoped for. Not onl y were many constructive ide a s brought out , but also the retreat instilled in the chapter an enthusiasm that we feel helps us to further Bet a on this campus this semester.

The faculty speaking program is the greatest advance in our new public relation program. The program consists of having guest lecturers from the University staff speak to the chapter on a topic of their choosing. This program is intended not only to broaden the scope of the chapter member s but is designed also for the chapter to meet the faculty and let the faculty meet us. This is but the first undertaking of our Public Rel a tions Vice President , Joe Carroll Rust , '60, and he has many more ideas on how to acquaint the students, faculty, and public-atlarge, on Beta Theta Pi's activities on this campus. To my knowledge we are the only chapter on the campus with such a public relations program.

There are also two new faces at Beta Omicron. Walter Henry Reuter III and James Ross Crawford, freshmen, are two new pledges. (STEVEN SENEVEY, Texas, '62)

New officers this semester are Stephen Severance, ' 61, president ; Charles Merrow, ' 62, vice president; John Affleck , '62, corresponding secretary ; Dennis Wohlford , '61 , treasurer ; Roger Williams, ' 62, recorder; Peter Rothchild , '61, house manager; Dougla s Wilson, ' 62 , alumni secretary ; Milton Markewitz , '61, rushing chairman ; Henry S. Houghton III, ' 61, scholarship chairman , and Michael Seidelhuber, '61, social chairman

Again we upheld the motto that " Beta Theta Pi is a singing fraternity " b y whipping together the " Sweet Sixteen " choral group for intercollegiate a nd interfraternity competition under the leadership of William G Hartwell III , ' 61. The annual dinner dance. " The White Cotillion ," was a success again this yea r

Williams

First prize in the annual Williams Winter Carnival S now Sculpture Contest went to Beta Theta P i on a very s uccessf ul College Holiday, February 12-14. A monument to both artistry and perseveran c e in the face of repeated thawing , the "Beta Dragon" was engineered and b u ilt by John O berteuffer, '62, and Alford B. Rutherford, '62, enthusiastically supported by every member of the chapter.

The intramural basketball team won another first with an undefeated season ( 10-0) under the leadership of Ronald LaPorte , '61, who was chosen for the all-college intramural team. D orian Bowman, '61, was selected for second team. With the basketball season finished, the intramural athletes of the chapter looked forward to a repetition of their 1959 softball record-the championship . Betas also are contributing to varsity sports. Thomas Tierney , '60, captain of Williams' most successful soccer team in recent years, also was to play baseball this spring. Others out for spring sports include John H . Horst , ' 61, Thomas Weinland , '6 1, David A.

Martin , Jr., '60, rugby. for JUNE, 1960

For all the extracurricular activity, scholarship bas not suffered. The chapter averaged B to B - for the fall semester, well above the college average for upperclassmen. The sophomores turned in an outstanding record with 13 out of 23 on the Dean's List. Dennis Bauman, '62, and Scott C. Mohr, '62, shared in a three-way tie for first place in the entire class. Scholarship had a special meaning for the 16 seniors of the chapter, 11 of whom plan to attend some graduate school.

Deane W. Merrill , Jr. , '60, has been awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship for study toward a Ph.D. in nuclear physics.

Announcements of committee assignments and election returns have indicated an active role for Betas in next year's student government. Weinland will serve on the Rushing Committee, Rutherford on the House Part y Committee, and Mohr , '6 2, on the Foreign Student Committee.

Rutherford also was elected to the College Council as representative-at-large for the Junior Class.

Rhetorical honors h ave come Zeta's way. John Ferguson, '62, took first place in the college impromptu speaking contest. Edmund Day, '61, and Mohr turned in a victory in the first round of the interfraternity debates.

Smoothly shifting to the leadership of the new officers , the Zeta chapter looks ahead to a very busy year. Plans are underway for a fundraising c a mpaign to collect about $70,000 for

use in renovation and in the construction of a new wing on the house. Much cooperation from the alumni will be needed, and it has been gratifying to see many of them stopping in over the weekends to say hello. (ScoTT C. MoHR, '62, Secretary)

Yale

The first meeting and dinner of the newlyorganized Southern New England Alumni Association of Beta Theta Pi was held at the Phi Chi chapter house December 15. This organizational meeting was a direct result of the combined efforts of some Alumni in the New Haven area and the active Yale Chapter. We all have felt for a long time the need for a stronger alumni -chapter relationship, both to help the active Chapter and to satisfy the need of the alumni for a group such as this. More than thirty alumni from Chapters all over the nation attended, most of them now residing in the

Connecticut-New York area. A second dinnen was scheduled for April 7, with the hope of l continued and increased support by the alumni.

On February 24, the Spring Initiation of 19 was brought into the fraternity. speaker at the dinner was Moreau Brown, Dartmouth '39, Chief of District II. The chapter considers this group outstanding in both scholastic achievement and extra-curricular activities. One of the new brothers is second in class of over 1000 Yale men; several are hers of the strong Yale track squad, and others participate in the Yale Daily News, or the Yale Broadcasting Company or are leaders in thei class in other respects.

As was mentioned in an earlier article, plans are continuing for improvements in the kitchen. They now include a new steam table, an ice · machine and much miscellaneous equipment to ' complement the new stove already installed. Our new study room is being put to good use, showing the approval of the brothers. (JAMES S. BuRRIS , '61, Alumni Secretary)
