Attendance Records Shattered

More Than 300 Undergraduates Attend 134th Convention and Leadership Conference YEAR ago the QUARTERLY reported that the 133rd annual Convention and Leadership Conference was "the best ever," including the comment that it was attended by more than 200 undergraduates.

Well, records were made to be broken, and there is a new "best ever" now on the books-and a new attendance record. From "well over 200" in 1967, the attendance figure in 1968 jumped to some 325 undergraduates.

The Kansas State campus at Manhattan was the scene ... not the ideal spot from the standpoint of expected summer climate, but a superlative location for fine facilities and excellent hospitality, and, as it turned out, amazingly cool and comfortable weath路 er.

From August 26 to August 31 this record turnout of chapter officers, including representatives from colonies and petitioning societies, was immersed in a solid program of leadership training sessions, concluding with the Convention business sessions, and interspersed with several highly-enjoyable social events.

As has become increasingly the case in recent years, the Leadership Conference far overshadowed the actual business of the Convention. Nonetheless, the delegates defeated, by a vote of about three to two, a proposed Constitutional amendment which would have changed to a biennial Convention while retaining the annual Leadership Conference.

The delegates moved to put Delta Upsilon in the forefront in a proposed movement to have fraternities embark on a program of continuous constructive dialogue between students and college administration to foster orderly changes in the system of higher education within a framework of law and order. In doing this, they took note of the tendency toward domination of campus relationships by sometimes violence-oriented minority groups which often appear to represent student opinion when, in fact, they are a very small fragment of the student body.

Coming as it did on the heels of the Republican convention and at the same time as the Democratic convention, the Delta U Convention found undergraduates deeply dissatisfied with the operations of both major political parties. In a resolution which

professed disappointment in the failure of "the political systems and machinery in the United States . . . to offer plausible solutions to grave national problems . . . " the delegates found fault with both platforms and with both presidential nominees, and urged the adoption of a national primary system and the direct election of the President of the United States.

Examining the operations of the Fraternity, the delegates urged a re路evaluation of the pledge training program wherever it in any way "impinges upon the dignity of any human being." Dissatisfaction was also expressed by the delegates on the failure of many chapters to implement the program for scholarship improvement proposed at the previous Convention, and requested every chapter to submit its proposed scholarship program for review.

The luncheon and dinner meetings throughout the week were highlighted by an unusual number of highly provocative talks which earned the pIau路

dits of the delegates. Undergraduates who are often inclined to think that the Conventions include too many speakers were high in their praise.

Beginning with a keynote address to the opening session of the Leadership Conference by Terry Bul路 lock, Kansas State '61, the outstanding speakers included Dr. James C. McLeod, MiddlebuTY '26, vice president of the Fraternity; Dr. Herbert E. Smith, Indiana '52, director of leadership development programs for the Fraternity; Dr. James C. McCain, president of Kansas State University; William H. Avery, Kansas '33, former governor and United States Congressman; Robert Dale, Republican candidate for the United States Senate and a member of Kappa Sigma; and Lloyd H. Houston, Williams '04, counsellor for the Kansas chapter for almost half a century.

Brother Bullock was the keynote speaker for the second consecutive year. He spoke of the design of Delta Upsilon and the directions in which he believed the Fraternity should move, in addressing hiinself to the theme of the entire Conference, "Design for Leadership-Directions '68." He suggested a hypothetical assignment for the delegates, to fashion and structure a new college fraternity.

"Use your imagination," he said, "and assume that you have never seen or heard of a college fraternity. Design and direct an undergraduate college institution committed to these principles and objectives: 1. The advancement of justice (both within and without the organization) .

2. The recognition of no distinction not founded on merit.

3. The recognition of no standard of performance except excellence.

170

4. The development of each member to the full height of his potential with integrity, responsibility, and character.

5. The creation of a thirst for knowledge and truth within each member through programs designed to diffuse liberal culture.

6. The accomplishment of all other objectives within an atmosphere filled with total commitment to the promotion of the human concern of friendship and brotherly love."

Given these premises, Brother Bullock then asked whether this hypothetical organization would be fashioned around social and athletic programs or whether it would direct itself toward the original goals and objectives of Delta Upsilon.

He addressed himself extensively to the concept of pledgeship and pledge training, suggesting that the present relationship of the pledge to the chapter serves no useful purpose and, in fact, may be harmful in the development of the older men in the chapter as well as the pledges. "The presence of an always-available subservient class seems to create in our older men, at a time when they most need to press forward, a satisfied and inflated concept of self worth. Individual self-reliance gives way to the ease of ordering young men to do the job."

The full text of Brother Bullock's remarks IS available from the general offices of the Fraternity.

N speaking on the subject of "The Generation Gap" at the Friday evening President's Dinner, Dr. James C. McLeod, Fraternity vice president, rernincled his listeners that the generation gap "has been present in every generation from Greek and Roman times." "Socrates," he recalled, "bitterly attacked youth's 'bad manners, contempt for authority, and disrespect for their elders.' " Brother McLeod went on to quote a dean at Northwestern University who, in 1926, decried the "desire for freedom from all restraint [that] has almost reached the point of obsession with some leaders of the movement. In their desire to secure what they call 'academic freedom,' they advocate 'faculty and student representation on the board of trustees'; and in order to fit the curriculum to 'present social needs,' they propose appointing student committees to l:evise the curriculum."

There has always been a generation gap, Brother McLeod said, but "today the gap begins at an earlier age and widens more rapidly . . . . The bewilderment for parents and other elders comes sooner.

The high school momentum is greater and hits hig'h speed in the college years."

Brother lVlcLeod quoted from an address by Dr. J. Glenn Gray of Colorado College, who said, "Perhaps the most subtle change in students of this generation is in their self-assertiveness. I cannot escape the belief that their deepest desire is the growth of genuine individuality. This can only be fostered in a climate of community-by active participation in many different groups with an organic basis and

meaningful function. I do not mean some mystic entity. I use it as a collective term for those associations which each has-a sense of belonging, a feeling of power and of worth, and along with it a willingness to sacrifice energy and their very selves in a full sense of community."

"What do we do?," Dr. McLeod asked. "Instead of indifference and apathy, the Greek groups must concern themselves and involve themselves in the changing campus world . . . . If our collective membership had the social concerns which by heritage are ours-concerns for justice, the preservation of the democratic ideal, genuine brotherhood, promotion of good morals and good taste, the creation of an atmosphere which stimulates intellectual progress and achievement-we would not be so concerned at this time about the future of fraternities."

registration was scheduled to begin Tuesday morning, a steady stream of delegates and visitors poured into Haymaker Hall, the residence dormitory provided for all undergraduates for the week, starting early on Monday morning. By nightfall on rVlonday the count had reached near the 100 mark, and by Tuesday evening some 300 had registered.

A host of preparatory activities were scheduled for Tuesday, induding an orientation program for visitors from colonies and petitioning gTOUpS, several of whom were in attendance. During the afternoon interviews were held with a number of project chapters, to review their specific problems.

Tuesday evening saw the first organized social activity of the week, an evening of congenial fraternization over hero sandwiches and pitchers of beer.

Reluctantly, group discussion leaders for the coming week left this gathering for an orientation session, as did the Convention committee chairmenwho were to have a full week ahead of them. vVednesday morning saw the Leadership Conference kickoff, with O. Edward Pollock, Virginia '51, introducing the keynote speaker. Following Brother Bullock's provocative remarks, three undergraduate "reactors" gave their comments, as was to be done by other undergraduates following other talks.

Problem solving practice occupied 'l\Tednesday afternoon. This key phase of the Conference was introduced by James D. Carter, MissotlTi '26, who is chairman of educational relations of the National Society of Training Executives. Brother Carter pointed out that problem solving in business is akin to problem solving in fraternities, and developed the theme that training in this area has a universal application.

Although Delta U Conventions never operate entirely on the "all work and no play" theory, vVednesday was a full day of training, with workshops lasting close to the midnight hour. As is the regular practice, the undergraduates were divided into six groups according to their particular fields of interest. 'l\Torkshops were held simultaneously in in chapter relations, finances, rushing, scholarship, and pledge education, while a presidents' seminar was also being conducted. With almost sixty chapter presidents in attendance, this latter group was a major gathering of undergraduate Delta U strength.

Even the 'l\Tednesday evening dinner had a training theme . A film on drug addiction, prepared by the Bureau of Narcotics, was presented by Brother

Pollock who, as chairman of the Committee on Undergraduate Activities, reaffirmed the Fraternity's statement of policy on drugs and narcotics.

At the 'l\Tednesday luncheon the delegates had heard brief remarks by Congressman Robert Dole, a member of Kappa Sigma who is the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. I\lIr. Dole, incidentally, had defeated William H . Avery, Kansas '33, for this nomination in the Republican primary. "The bond of fraternal friendship has followed me everywhere," the personable candidate said.

Dr. Robert Kruh, dean of the graduate school of the University, had welcomed Delta Upsilon to the Kansas State campus and had given the delegates a rundown on the University's facilities and accomplishments. Also on hand to extend a welcome was Mayor Arthur W. Torleumke of the city of Manhattan, who concluded his brief remarks by presenting a commission as Admiral of the Tuttle Creek Navy to the Delta U president, Orville Read.

To make the welcome complete, Galen Ericson, Kansas State chapter president, promised the full hospitality of his chapter, a pledge that was more than amply kept.

Workshops continued throughout Thursday, from 9:00 a .m. to 6:00 p.m., with a break for the Province Governors luncheon. At this luncheon the delegates saw the newest scholarship film prepared by the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. The Foundation has now completed three scholarship films and has two more scheduled for production. All are intended to help undergraduates develop proper study techniques and habits, and all the films are available not only to the undergraduate chapters, but to other fraternities as well.

Everyone unwound on Thursday evening at a big barbecue party held in a hall at the fair grounds a point to which it was necessarily removed from the Tuttle Creek area because of continued rain. The food was plentiful, the singing was both loud and varied, and the spirit of fraternity was high.

The rain continued into Friday morning, after having started on Wednesday, and stopped just at the last minute to permit the group photograph to be taken in sunlight just before Friday luncheon.

Friday morning had concluded the Leadership Conference, except for an afternoon session devoted to "Using What You Learn." The morning meetings were summaries of the previous workshops, with each group getting a rundown on the ground that had been covered in the other workshops.

"The Knowledge Industry" was the subject of the Friday luncheon talk by Dr. Herbert E. Smith, educational director of the Fraternity. Brother Smith commented on the tremendous knowledge explosion

THE AWARDS STORY

1968

The highlight of each Convention is the presentation of the Fraternity's awards for chapter excellence. Using the standards for chapter operations outlined in the Delta Upsilon Superior Chapter Program, each chapter receives several extensive reviews during the year and at the end of the school year.

Members of the Undergraduate Activities Committee and the Fraternity'S professional staff weigh the progress of each chapter. Field reports, reports from the chapter Deputies, counsellors, alumni corporation officers, and Province Governors, all are evaluated, in addition to chapter officers' correspondence, SP-IO and SP-ll reports, newsletters, rushing statistics, financial reports, and scholarship standings.

The Achievement Sweepstakes Award is presented to the most outstanding chapter in Delta Upsilon. Certificates of Merit are presented to runners-up and to chapters which have excelled in a particular area of chapter operations. In addition to the Achievement Sweepstakes Trophy are a host of other trophies, plaques, and citations-many of them almost as greatly treasured.

which is rapidly remaking the entire education "industry." The text of his remarks had not been made available when the QUARTERLY went to press, but can be obtained in the near future from the Fraternity offices.

The Friday luncheon was a simulation of a Founders' Day luncheon, designed to give chapter officers a format for a simply conducted but effective Founders' Day affair.

Friday afternoon after 3:00 o'clock was free time for many undergraduates, but working time for many others. Convention committees met for three hours, breaking only in time for the dinner meeting, and at the same time various other conferences were going on. Men interested in the possibility of becoming field secretaries met in one room with a staff representative. Delegates from chapters that will be hosts to next year's Provincial Conferences met in another, and undergraduates with interest in expansion prospects for the Fraternity met in still another.

Friday evening, following the President's Dinner, the undergraduates en joyed an hour-and-a-half presentation by the Serendipity Singers who totally captivated their audience, though the "generation gap" was emphasized by the steady dimunition in the number of alumni present.

Saturday evening saw another "rock" musical program, given by the Burgandy Street Singers, a Kansas State campus group that presented entertainment that compared favorably with the nationallyknown Serendipity Singers.

Reporting to the Convention on Saturday morning, Board Chairman Harry W. McCobb reviewed briefly the operations of the Fraternity during the

174

past year. In commenting on his visits to a number of chapters and alumni clubs, he said, "rvIy visits strengthen my belief that strong chapters are not the result of accident or serendipity. They are what they are as a result of good planning, strong undergraduate leadership, intelligent and constant alumni cooperation, and the desire of our m.embership to live in an atmosphere of true fraternal fellowship based on the principles of the Fraternity."

Operations were hampered during the year, Brother McCobb said, by a lack of sufficient professional people on the staff. The high quality of the reduced staff kept affairs on a fairly even keel, he remarked, "but there were many things we wanted to do which went undone because of lack of manpower."

"Fortunately," he continued, "this has been entirely corrected and we enter this year fully staffed and well organized to work with you whenever and wherever you have programs or problems on which assistance can be of help to you."

Charles F. Jennings, Marietta '31, the Fraternity treasurer, reported in detail to the delegates on the financial affairs of the Fraternity. His report, in full, appears elsewhere in this issue of the QUARTERLY. W. A. Butler, Jr., executive secretary, reviewed pluses and minuses in the year's operations. He mentioned the large number of new publications produced during the year, which include the newest edition of "Our Record," the Fraternity manual; a new version of the Chapter President's Notebook; a revised Superior Chapter Program, and a new printing of the DU Facts Folder and the Alumni Club Guide.

Eighty路one per cent of all men pledged during the year were initiated, Brother Butler reported. This is a dramatic increase over the figure of 74 per cent for the previous year, and is traceable, at least partly, he said, to increased emphasis on scholarship.

He reviewed the Fraternity's strong position in opposition to hazing. Any pledge "training" which is potentially mentally or physically injurious or morally degrading is strictly prohibited by Delta Upsilon, he emphasized.

Orville Read, the Fraternity president, also reported briefly to the Convention, and written reports were submitted by several standing committees.

T

HE undergraduate new chapters committee, reporting to the Convention through its chairman, Scott Wallace, N01路th CaTalina '69, urged Delta Upsilon to continue to investigate and pursue every favorable expansion opportunity, while maintaining the standards of the Fraternity. The committee reiterated the important criteria, which included the strength of the Greek system on campus, support of Delta U alumni in the immediate area, the quality of ,the institution, and, in the case of petitioning groups, the quality of their members. He emphasized that undergraduates could and should play a major role in expansion.

The committee also made specific recommendations on suggested sites for expansion.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

OctobeT 1968

Expressing dissatisfaction with the response of the chapters to directives on scholarship issued by the preceding Convention, Greg Oneglia, Union '69, chairman of the special committee on scholarship, submitted for approval a resolution calling on all chapters to re-evaluate their attitude toward scholastic achievement and to submit programs outlining the steps they will take to improve scholarship.

This resolution, in the spirit of the one passed a year earlier, was unanimously adopted.

Debate by the delegates on the proposal for a biennial Convention to replace the annual one, produced arguments in opposition, based on the traditional role of the undergraduates in Fraternity legislation . In favor of the amendment was the fact that Conventions could be called in alternate years if needed, 'that longer Leadership Conferences could be held in the intervening years, and that economies of operation would be substantial. After extended discussion, the delegates rejected the proposed amendment.

The resolution of the United States delegates dealing with present-day politics was strongly debated and was passed by a vote of a little more than -hree to two. The delegates voting for the resoluin emphasized the fact that it was merely a recction of their personal beliefs and was not in,ended as a position paper for Delta Upsilon Fraternity. Canadian brothers, though expressing deep interest in the subject, abstained from voting on this resolution.

The resolution in full follows: WHEREAS, The political systems and machinery in the United States have failed to offer plausible solutions to grave national problems; and, WHEREAS, Neither political party of the United States has offered platforms or political personalities in response to public feelings of dissatisfaction; and, WHEREAS, The electorate of the United States has had little or no choice in the selection of political party platforms, national political nominees, and the implementation of national policies; and, '''' HEREAS, Our present state primary and electoral college systems have inherent inconsistencies in dealing with a matter of national concern; therefore be it Resolved, That the United States delegates to the Convention of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity in the United States and Canada do deplore the lack of reasonable democratic processes in the selection of political candidates and platforms in the United States, and be it further Resolved, That the delegates of the several chapters of Delta Upsilon in the United States feel that the political system in the United States has in this election year failed in its obligations and responsibilities to the citizens of the United States and the peoples of the world, and be it further Resolved, That the United States delegates to the Delta Upsilon Convention recommend to the Congress of the United States that the present DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY •

state primary system for choosing party candidates be abolished and in its place a national primary system be instituted; and be it further Resolved, That the United States delegates to the Delta Upsilon Convention recommend to the Congress of the United States that the President of the United States be elected by a popular vote of the people of the United States; and, be it further Resolved, That a copy of the first eight sections of this resolution be distributed to the student publications and or newspapers at each campus where a chapter of Delta Upsilon is located.

Other major resolutions passed by the l34th Convention included the following: WHEREAS, The current concept of the fraternity pledge, even as now modified by some chapters, is in direct opposition to the founding ideals and principles of Delta Upsilon Fraternity; ''''HEREAS, The present road to membership in our Fraternity, starting with a rushing period during which a prospective brother is given preferential treatment, followed by a pledge period during which he is regarded as a "second-class citizen," creates inconsistencies which may cause the new member to seriously question the validity and sincerity of the founding ideals; and, ''''HEREAS, These .ideals 'cannot permit any fraternal practice which in any way impinges upon the dignity of any human being, whether or not he is a fully-initiated brother; be it hereby Resolved, That the several Delta Upsilon chapters undergo a period of self-evaluation at the chapter level with respect to the aforementioned points for the purpose of considering constitutional amendment with regard to the definition and

concept of the pledge at the next convention; be it further Resolved, That this practice of self-evaluation shall continue indefinitely.

WHEREAS, Swiftly advancing sociological change is altering the traditional relationships b~t:veen the college student and the college admullstration; and, WHEREAS, The student leadership involved in these changes is gravitating to ideologically motivated and sometimes violent minorities; and, WHEREAS, The future of higher education in America may well depend upon orderly change

~ented

within a framework of law and order, and upon the preservation and strengthening of the essential and beneficial student-administration relationships; and, WHEREAS, The Greek letter societies through their Interfraternity Councils represent the largest cohesive student group organized to carryon a p1'Ogram of continuous constmctive dialogue with the college administration in the legitimate interest of all students; be it hereby Resolved, That the several chapters of Delta Upsilon be urged to take the lead in formally proposing such a program to th:ir respe~tive .Interfraternity Councils in pOSSible conjUnctiOn with student government, making it clear that Delta Upsilon would play no special or preferred role in its execution.

WHEREAS, Institutions of higher learning are growing in both size and number: and, .

WHEREAS, We believe fratermty membershIp IS an integral part of a liberal education, and,

176

WHEREAS, The precepts of Delta Upsilon afford themselves to the furthering of education; therefore be it Resolved, That this continued growth by our colleges be met by a continuing expansion of Delta Upsilon, further commends the staff and others for their assistance with the program; and be it further Resolved, That the chapters be encouraged to assist the Fraternity with this expansion program.

The Convention came to a close on Saturday afternoon with 'the invitation of the McGill chapter to hold the 135th Annual Convention in Montreal in 1969. While the undergraduates looked with favor upon this invitation, they left final decision on the site to 't he discretion of the Committee on Administration, subject to approval of the Board of Directors. Investigation of the availability of suitable facilities at acceptable costs is already under way.

The last Delta Upsilon Convention to be held in Montreal was in 1926. Other more recent Conventions in Canada were held in Toronto in 1946 and in Banff in 1960. \ (' William R.

Ted Gardiner, Kansas '70, was chairman of the special committee on administration.

A standing ovation saluted Lloyd H . Houston, Williams '04, following his informal remarks to the Saturday luncheon . Brother Houston has been chapter adviser to the Kansas chapter for some forty eight years, and his continued faithful and valuable guidance has always kept that chapter at the top of Kansas fraternities and among Delta U's best.

Initiated into Delta Upsilon at about the turn of the century, Brother Houston drew on a vast store of experience and knowledge of the Fraternity in counseling all the Convention delegates on strong courses of action to follow in developing their individual chapters.

A plaque commemorating this long term of service to Delta Upsilon was presented to Brother Houston by Board Chairman Harry W. McCobb.

Delta Upsilon was particularly pleased to have as its Awards Banquet speaker, Dr. James A. McCain, president of Kansas State University. Dr. McCain, who has been president of the school since 1950, has been a particularly good friend to our Kansas State chapter. He was in large part the inspiration for the cultural program inaugurated by the chapter several years ago which, perhaps more than anything else, led to the chapter's development as an outstanding organization on this campus.

Dr. McCain, who is regarded on the Manhattan campus as a "student's president," says that today's college students are our "finest and most misunderstood generation." Under his guidance, most Kansas State University committees have substantial student representation, and some of the committees most influential in guiding the destinies of the University have as much as 50 per cent student representation.

pus. An acute concern for chapter relations has helped them to become well regarded by the entire community.

The host chapter, Kansas State, retained one of the most highly regarded trophies, winning the Scholarship Achievement Award for the second consecutive year. Kansas State has always been in Delta U's top ten in scholarship. The trophy award is based on the latest available N.I.C. statistics, which are always one year old at Convention time, so that

always, undergraduates awaited eagerly the presentation of the trophies at the Saturday evening banquet.

Cornell, always strong, but never before a trophy winner, captured the Sweepstakes Trophy this year.

With a membership of seventy-four men, the chapter showed great improvement in scholarship during the year, and had no less than nineteen varsity football players, with fourteen other varsity athletes on the chapter roll. Its strong chapter relations program within the chapter and among alumni was a factor on Cornell's victory over a number of strong contenders for the top award.

The identity of winners is always a closely-guarded secret, known only to the selection committee and top officers. Proof of these effective security measures came when it was discovered that the Cornell undergraduates had absented themselves from the banquet for a few minutes and were not on hand to receive the award. All was saved when Bertel W. Antell, Com.ell '28) was brought forward to represent the chapter.

A chapter that has made a career of winning important awards did it again when Kansas received the Trustees' Award for Excellence, a trophy given to the top chapter on campuses with more than twenty-five fraternities. This returned to their house the same trophy they had won the year before. This year Kansas was third in campus scholarship, had a Rhodes Scholar nominee, eight football players, presidents of the freshman and junior classes, and won three division trophies in intramural football.

The Directors' Award for Excellence, a trophy for the best chapter on campuses with fourteen to twenty-five fraternities, also returned to its previous home when North Carolina scored a second consecutive win. Though a relatively young chapter, North Carolina is now traditionally one of Delta U's strongest and best. Last year it included three members of Phi Beta Kappa on its I~S-man roster, and stood third in campus scholarship. They had the highest pledge class scholastic average, and were at the same time third overall in intramurals, with three first-place finishes. For the second year in a row they won the University's competition for the outstanding fraternity on campus.

Bouncing back after a year which earned them no awards, Bucknell captured the President's Award for Excellence, as best of all chapters on campuses with less than fourteen fraternities. Every area of chapter operations here is managed well and members hold many positions of responsibility on cam-

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

What do you do for an encore?

When Leadership Conference attendance increases by about 50 per cent over its previous record, and includes about 60 chapter presidents, how do you do better next year?

Well, you start by planning now to present a 1969 leadership training program that will be even more beneficial than the last oneand you start now to insure attendance of even more chapter presidents and key officers.

Even more important, I think you start working toward having a larger attendance of Province Governors and Deputies, and of Fraternity directors, officers, and Trustees. All our alumni need to have a closer relationship with undergraduates and undergraduate thinking-and there's no better place to get this exposure than at Convention.

Tentatively the 135th Convention is scheduled for Montreal in the last week of August. Montreal, it should be no secret, is an excellent August vacation spot. Many alumni should easily be able to schedule at least a couple days there to meet and talk with some of the sharpest, finest college boys you'll ever see.

I can promise them all (and the undergraduates too) a rewarding expenence.

Fraternally yours)

Treasurer Reports to Convention on Continued Financial Growth ELTA UPSILON continued its financial growth during the past fiscal year, Delta U Treasurer Charles F. Jennings, Mm'ietta '31, reported to the delegates of the 134th Convention.

In giving a complete run路down on income and expenses of the Fraternity to the delegates, Brother Jennings noted that operating expenses had increased during the year, and that the elimination of chapter dues had decreased the Fraternity's total income for the year. He also pointed out to the undergraduates that careful financial management at the chapter level is essential to the well-being of Delta Upsilon .

The full text of the Treasurer's report follows:

D

Let us review together the three financial statements attached. Each year our certified public accountant examines our books and summarizes them in a statement of financial position with related statements of the changes in fund balances and the analysis of operating fund income, expenses and transfers to other funds.

Our financial position is reported as of the end of the fiscal years June 30, 1968 and June 30, 1967.

The changes in fund balances cover the twelve months ended June 30, 1968. And the income, expenses and transfers statement compares results of opera tions for the last two fiscal years.

Separate bank accounts are not maintained for the cash credited to each of the funds. Interest payments received on savings accounts and interest bearing certificates of deposit are not apportioned to the various funds, but are credited to the operating fund . vVe follow this procedure to simplify our bookkeeping and to recognize that the timing of transfers from the operating fund to the other funds is on an accrual basis and not on the basis of immediate need.

The funds, other than operating, accrue income on balances loaned or invested and not on funds not yet required to meet the objectives of the respective funds. The total cash position amounting to approximately $285 ,000 consists of $233,000 in interest bearing accounts, $12,000 in Canadian funds and $40,000 in a checking account.

Investment income receivable totaling almost $22,000 has been earned on an accrual basis, but has not been collected. All of our investments are currently paying dividends or honoring their bond into'est coupons. There is little doubt but that the money will be received.

Fees receivable of $23,455 have grown from the prior year, and in fact about one third the amount is a carry-over from the previous fiscal year. Go back to your chapters determined to keep your financial house in order! If you fail to do this, the chapter

begins the long slide down to mediocri t y or wors e.

There should be no fees receivable on the books of the General Fraternity. Let's work together to eliminate it. If you do not permit receivables to grow on your books, you can keep current on your local bills and not have to run in debt to the General Fraternity.

Supplies must be available to service the needs of chapters. Rather than to expense items which are carried in inventory to facilitate filling your requirements, we capitalize such items until you requisition them. Then they are either expensed or they are charged to you at a reasonable cost. The cost of chapter supplies on hand at June 30, 1968 was $14,277, almost twice the amount at the previous fiscal year end. This amount will vary greatly. Our main concern is not to be burdened with unwanted items or fail to adjust the carrying value of the inventory as it is reduced by filling your needs.

The Canadian Government bonds are 4 per cent bonds. The market value reflects current yields rather tha n value at maturity. 'il\Te expect to get the full par value at maturity, namely, $5,000.

' Details of the next account, Notes Receivable from Chapters, are covered in the report of the Chapter Loan Fund Committee. Just over $9,000 represents loans made from the Expansion Fund. The balance of $250,000 was advanced from the Chapter Loan Fund . .Just a word to those chapters who a re in arrears. Over 10 per cent of our assets are dedicated to carrying your financial commitments. It is imperative that you handle your affairs to insure that scheduled payments are remitted on time. Repayments must not lag.

Needed office equipment is purchased, but rather than charge it off to expense immediately, we depreciate the cost over a recognized period of normal use.

The $34,063 represents depreciated cost. As all. example, we purchased a collator, an electric typewriter, microfilm machine, desk and chairs for $3,739.

The depreciation charged to expense for 1967/ 68 was only $318. The depreciated cost of these 1967/ 68 purchases is therefore $3,421.

Investments, carried as noted on the statement, amount to $1,412,000 and consist of bonds and stocks which in the main are trad ed on the major exchanges.

under active review by the loan committee and are being followed for payment in full.

The Equalization Fund was created to equalize the cost of transportation to Conventions. Charges to expense could be an average of transportation costs to Conventions central to chapters, as well as those on the perimeters, such as one on the West Coast.

Actual expenses when charged to the Equalization Fund do not distort the Operating Fund results regardless of where a Convention is held. The $8,400 transfer from the Operating Fund represents an averaging down of expected costs, because the balance in the fund appeared to be climbing too fast. The $5,088 represents the actual charges for last year's Convention in Urbana, Illinois.

Emergency loans or grants of relatively minor proportions are made from the Emergency and Colonization Fund, as well as costs incurred by brothers engaged in carrying out specific jobs related to colonization. The $2,400 was transferred from the Operating Fund. The expenditures were $14,606 less repayment of an advance of $3,403-a net charge of $11,203.

The Expansion Fund is available for more costly expansion projects. Currently, advances of $9,100 have been made on which interest is being collected.

Entries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1968, include interest earnings of $563, expenses $803, and credits from the Operating Fund totaling $10,000.

The Lester E. Cox Fund, bequeathed under the will of a brother of the Pennsylvania chapter, is being held intact, pending determination of how it may best be used. Income is being reinvested at the direction of the Permanent Trust Fund Committee.

Our major fund, the Permanent Trust Fund, has been invested primarily for income, but over the years profits have been taken, which account for about 40 per cent of the corpus. The Fund was created to commute the payment of alumni dues and to keep those who subscribed informed on matters DU-in practice this has been accomplished by

To arrive at the net asset figure of $2,026,863, certain accounts payable and accrued expenses must be deducted_ Expenses accrued, but not yet paid include an issue of the QUARTERLY, auditing', and initiation badges. In addition, the transfer of $8,000 to the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation remained to be paid after the close of the fiscal year. The deductions totaled $27,898.

I would judge the stated value of our net assets is 99 and 44/100ths per cent pure. I am not going to settle for less than 100 per cent, but I must count on your cooperation and the fulfillment of your financial responsibilities to make good my boast.

Net assets are classified by funds. The General Funds total almost $573,000, the Cox Fund over $199,000, and the Permanent Trust Fund over $1,254,000. The names give good clues as to the uses made of most of the funds. However, a quick rundown is always in order. This will be made in conjunction with the second statement covering changes in fund balances.

The Operating Fund is summarized to show a net decrease labeled, "excess of operating fund expenses and transfers to other funds over income." The decrease of $16,911 is analyzed more fully on the third statement. Comparable figures for the prior year are shown. The areas of increase and decrease by major classification are easily sighted and reveal h igher salaries and other expenses for the Headquarters office, as well as our executive and field secretaries.

Income categories, although higher in some cases, could not fill the void resulting from the elimination of chapter dues (1966/67 was the last year they applied after the fee schedule was revised) .

One particularly valuable result of the Program Changes in the Chapter Loan Fund reflect $9,152 interest actually collected on outstanding loans to chapters and transfers to the fund from the operating fund, amounting to $18,000, offset entirely by the provision for doubtful notes receivable based on payment in default for over two years.

a life-time subscription to the QUARTERLy-with any excess of income dedicated to whatever projects the Board of Directors might designate. Subsequently, undergraduates upon inita tion were charged predetermined amounts to become "paid up life members" and entitled to the QUARTERLY for life. With the most recent fee schedule revision, the Board of Directors determines the extent to which transfers are made from the Operating Fund to the Permanent Trust Fund. Investment income is credited to the Operating Fund. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1968 alumni commutation amounted to $410,

transfers from the Operating Fund amounted to $27,000, and net losses on switches in investments for better prospects or yields amounted to $8,973.

The year just passed has been one of continued growth financially, as well as in other ways which the reports of other officers and committees have recorded. Unfortunately, we cannot rest on our past performances. Our Leadership Conferences and Conventions are designed to train you, the designated leaders of your dlapters, to be pilots and co-pilots of the good ship Delta Upsilon.

Excess of operating fund expenses and transfers to other funds over income NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1968

Note 1: The notes receivable from chapters bear interest at 4 per cent to. 6 per cent per year and are due in instalments through 1988, although payment dates on certain notes have been extended by the chapter loan committee. Some of the notes are fully or partially secured by second ,or third mortgages on chapter properties.

Notes receivable from chapters are stated net of an allowance for doubtful collection of $18,000. Interest on notes receivable is recorded only when received.

Note 2: The Fraternity headquarters has a contributory, insured pension plan covering eligible employees as set forth in the Plan. The pension expense for the year was $1,577 .

Note 3: In a few instances, the Fraternity has guaranteed certain liabilities of its chapters. At June 30, 1968, guarantees were outstanding on approximately $105,000 of such liabilities.

Note 4: The financial statements do not include $31,900 cash received from an estate plus accumulated interest thereon which is held in trust with the stipulation tha t it be used for the benefit of the New York University Chapter of Delta Upsilon Fraternity if such chapter is activated by February 1972; if the chapter is not activated by that date the cash and accumulated interest are to be remitted to Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation .

Trust Fund Income Reaches Record High; Changed Goals May Reduce 1969 Return ALMOST $67,000 in income was generated for Delta Upsilon by the Permanent Trust Fund in the fiscal year which ended on June 30. This was an increase of about $1,400 over the previous year, which to that time had been the record year.

The Fund produced an income of 5.47 per cent of the cost of securities and 5.84 per cent on market value.

Income during the coming year will probably be reduced, as the Committee on Permanent Trust Fund is planning to lower investments in high-income bonds and move to place a substantial portion of the Trust Fund in "growth-oriented" common stocks.

This transition will be made at such times as the committee judges the timing to be proper, and will

.拢1..

probably continue until the proportion of investments is roughly 50 per cent in bonds and 50 per cent in preferred and common stocks.

For many years, the emphasis has always been upon income because of the cash needs of the Fraternity.

With this need in mind, the Committee on Pennanent Trust Fund has for year after year generated a high yield on the Fraternity's investments, and, at the same time, has produced very sizeable capital gains.

Nelson Schaenen, CO'r nell '23, chairman of the committee, has served in that capacity for about twenty years, and most of his committee members have given their careful and skillful attention to the Fraternity's investment problems for a decade or more.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY路

October" 1968

Alumni Support Program Contributions Grow; Make More Fraternity Services Possible ORE and more Delta U alumni each year are adding their names to the long list of loyal members who each year send their voluntary contribution of $10 or more to the annual Alumni Support Program .

Now in its fifth year, the Program each year now produces about $25,000, representing more than 2,000 checks for $10 each, and a scattering of larger gifts up to $100 .

These contributions are used to provide additional services to our undergraduate chapters, largely in the areas of leadership training and scholarship development.

One particularly valuable result of the Program is that Delta Upsilon is now able to invite each chapter to send all its officers to the annual Leadership Conference so that they may be trained in chapter operation techniques and in general leadership principles. This year, as you will read elsewhere in the QUARTERLY, a record 325 undergraduates were in attendance. Their expenses are paid while they are at the Convention site, and the delegate's travel allowance is sufficient to enable most chapters to send a full automobile load of chapter officers.

M

In this highly-successful Conference plan, the Fraternity is also assisted by financial aid from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation in some of the strictly educational aspects of the Conference.

'With only a few weeks having elapsed since the first letter went out this fall to many alumni, checks totaling more than $12,000 have already been received in the Fraternity office, and it appears that, by the end of the school year, contributions will have reached a new high point. 'il\Thile there is no obligation on the part of any alumnus to contribute, since lifetime membership is included in the Delta Upsilon initiation fee, it is recognized by many alumni that the dollars which were paid into the Fraternity treasury often three or four decades ago have greatly diminished in purchasing power and that, at the same time, Delta U is providing more services to its undergraduate chapters in times of rapidly-spiraling costs. The total income to the Fraternity per member has not increased with this inflation spiral . . . the end result being that, if Delta U is to strive for excellence, these contributions are vital.

More Than Half of Chapters Raised Scholarship Standings Last Year "

T

HE downward trend in scholarship in Delta Upsilon was reversed in the 1966-67 school yearthe latest for which statistics are available.

Data recently released by the National Interfraternity Conference show that thirty-eight Delta U chapters improved their scholarship standing during that year, and twenty-two chapters declined.

Statistics are not made available by a substantial number of colleges and universities.

Only two chapters-North Carolina and Pacificwere first on campus. This was a repeat performance for Pacific and marked a move up from third place for the North Carolina chapter.

Kansas State, though it ranked third among twenty-five chapters, was 27.10 per cent above the allmen's average, to top all chapters of Delta Upsilon and to retain possession of the Scholarship Trophy for a second year.

No less than five chapters finished dead last on campus. These were Minnesota, Carnegie, Auburn, Florida, and Swarthmore. It must be pointed out in the case of Swarthmore that they compete against only one other fraternity, so they were second among two. vVestern Reserve, with a minus 24.0S percentage figure, was the lowest ranking Delta U chapter.

Ten chapters were ranked in the upper quartile among fraternities on their campuses, and fourteen were in the bottom quartile. A majority of chapters continues to fall in the lower half and also below the all-men's average.

A number of chapters made dramatic improvement during the year, led by California, which went from near last among thirty-nine fraternities to seventh place. Wisconsin went from -9.17 per cent in the all-men's table to +10.07 per cent, and Bucknell, Union, Arizona, Washington State, Colby, and Michigan changed minuses to pluses. While remaining on the wrong side of the line, San Jose and Pennsylvania also improved their records substantially.

The upward movement is encouraging, and readings from the field indicate that it probably continued throug'h the past year.

Important in the creation of improved scholarship concern in Delta Upsilon chapters have been several programs assisted by grants from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. Two new study films, "Lecture Note Taking'" and "Study Time Budgeting" have been produced by the Fraternity's Educational Director, Dr. Herbert E. Smith, Indiana '51. This brings to three the films which Delta Upsilon chapters have available to use on scholarship.

190

Two more films are planned for production during the school year, using comments and suggestions provided by chapter scholarship chairmen who have used the films in their programs.

The regular weekly scholarship bulletins which are a part of the Fraternity'S "Action for Scholarship" program are mailed throughout the school year to scholarship chairmen. There has been a substantial increase in the number of chapters electing or appointing scholarship chairmen since the advent of this program, also supported by a Delta U psilon Educational Foundation grant.

The Fraternity has published and distributes to chapters the SQRRR booklet which accompanies a film produced by Delta Upsilon on the Survey, Question, Read, Recall, Review approach to study.

These booklets have been especially popular with pledge classes, and many chapters invite a sorority pledge class to view the film when it is shown at the Delta Upsilon chapter house.

The Educational Foundation has just completed distribution of an unabridg'ed dictionary and stand to each chapter for use in a program designed to improve the basic reference books available to every DU chapter.

this year. They did this by improving on programs in their chapter that already were strong, as, for example, their pledge education program, which was last year's award winner in that category.

Clarkson added a second award by taking home the Chapter Relations plaque. The chapter publishes a good alumni newsletter several times each year, has a community service day once a term in their small community, and even plays football and softball with the police department. Alumni and faculty have meals with the chapter on a regular basis, and the Dean is a frequent guest at chapter social functions, which also attract goodly numbers of faculty and alumni.

A chapter that traditionally rushes very carefully and consistently initiates almost its entire pledge class won the Pledge Education Award. Technolog-y's pleage . education program is characterized by a higfi '-degi'ee of communication and involvement at every level of chapter membership. Thorough planning and careful administration have achieved excellen t results.

COMMENT ON FRATERNITY

The Meaning of Loyalty

. . . "1 solemnly iJmmise that 1 will be loyal . .. "

-from the pledges of initiation The 134th anniversary of the Founding provides an appropriate occasion to recall with some pleasure our past achievements, while projecting ahead to the future new avenues of service and concern for our Fraternity. In very real measure the future course of Delta Upsilon, its success or failure depends on the loyalty and dedication of every brother.

The enthusiasm and talent of undergraduates must be matched by graduate assistance, continuity, and support. Neither group can go it alone. Sustained effort is required to resolve the increasingly complex questions of direction, purpose, motivation, and planning for the future.

If we are to develop a fraternity which expresses in modern day terms the goals and objectives of the Founders, we must keep everpresent the need to innovate, to respond in advance of challenge, rather than as a result of it.

Loyalty in these days demands more than happy remembrances for the alumnus; more than clinging to the old traditions for the undergraduate. Loyalty requires enlightened inquiry, deep convictions, and striving to achieve the embodiment of the Founders' Purposes 111 our every relationship of daily life.

Unhappy alternatives can be the only result of less-than-real loyalty in these days of opportunity for Delta Upsilon.

Toronto's Long Time Aide to Retire After More Than 30 Years Service FTER more than thirty years of service to the Toronto chapter, Sarah Conner will be retiring soon. Plans to honor her at the chapter's seventieth anniversary in December, and to present her with an annuity, are under way, sponsored by an alumni committee.

A tribute to her wonderful service to generations of Toronto Delta U's is contained in the following anonymoU<l contribution from an appreciative alumnus:

A

Every morning at 6:30 throughout the term, Winter, Fall and Spring, Sarah gets up, leaves her cozy apartment in the Coachhouse, makes her way in all weathers to the chapter house and makes breakfast for her twenty-five boys. This is the famous slap-up meal of porridge, bacon, eggs, coffee, toast and marmalade that has sent generations of DU's out into the world fit for the daily battle. In the late evening after she has seen that the maids "do a proper job" of cleaning and tidying the big house and has ordered the food and supplies, prepared two more meals and kept house for twenty-five for another day, she can sit down a while and feed her fish and rest. She is good at her job and she should be, for she had been doing this for the DU's for thirty years. On the 27th of January this year, Sarah was seventy-two.

Sarah Leckey Conne1" DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

October 1968

There is a lot that you can say about Sarah, and it is all good. The facts of her life are simple. Born Sarah Leckey on a farm in County Tyrone, the youngest but one of five, she left Ireland "where there was lots of work and no pay" with her brother Tom in 1922 and came to Canada. While working as a housekeeper in a summer camp in Northern Ontario some time thereafter she met the chef John Conner and they were later married. John induced her to come to live at the DU House which was then 112 St. George Street so that she could be housekeeper and he could be chef. Sarah, who had a comfortable situation in Toronto at the time was apprehensive about moving in with "a bunch of boys" but decided to give it a try. That was 1938, and she has been with us ever since.

John and Sarah came to hold a high place of affection and esteem in the hearts of hundreds of members of the Toronto chapter over the years.

You cannot cast your mind back to the days when you lived in without conjuring up the image of John whose normally jaunty manner belied the strictness with which he ran the dining room.

Those were the days of wonderful food and formal manners: No one in the dining room except at breakfast who was not properly dressed, no selfservice, bun throwing or other departure from the best tradition and even at breakfast when casual dress, i.e. pajamas and dressing gowns were permitted, no service for anyone who did not appear before 8: 30 and no scrambled eggs for those who failed to give their order before 8:20. John has been gone these last seven years and is sadly missed and even old Toby, Sarah's constant companion, the only dog in the world that could fold dusters, has long been gone. The boys come and go; things change; manners slacken; the house moves to 182. It is a big house and hard work and not everyone has been always kind or fair; but as things turned out, it has been her life, and she in turn has become part of ours.

We can remember how she looked after us with patience and a little irony when we were sick, or in trouble, or in love, or just plain down; and when . we were really down and sack-bound, how she brought us cups of Irish tea with the spoon standing up in the centre, a brew as black and potent as coal. She never tried to "mother" us-that wasn't her way, and thank God; but she was there with the twinkle in her eye and the occasional droll speculation as to how we had come to this pass, and it helped.

Most of us are now gone a long time, but I am sure things haven't changed much around the

Oklahoma City The Oklahoma City Alumni Club met on September 19 at the Holiday Inn East in Midwest City for a dinner meeting¡. New pledges from the Oklahoma City area who had pledged the chapters at Oklahoma University and Oklahoma State University were in attendance. Presidents of both chapters were also guests, and gave good reports of their rush week activities earlier that month. The Oklahoma chapter had pledged thirty men during formal rush, and six during the summer. The O .S.U. chapter also had had an excellent rush, with twenty-six pledges.

The chapters were highly commended for their cooperative rush efforts, the respective rush chairmen having worked closely together all summer.

Alumni efforts during rush were felt more than ever before, which accoun ted for the good rush weeks of both chapters. Alumni in the Oklahoma City area had staged open houses in the spring, while alumni from Bartlesville and other areas did the same for their sections of the state.

The O.S.U. chapter has grown to the extent it now needs two annexes, which were opened this fall.

It was obvious to the alumni present that both chapters were on an upswing, especially the Oklahoma chapter, which h ad experienced a poor rush in 1967.

Discussion of the Oklahoma City alumni bus trip to the Homecoming game at Norman with Missouri was held. Gordon Green, Oklahoma '57, is now chairman of that project. Alumni interested in this second annual trek should contact him. The Oklahoma chapter Buck-a-Month-Club is still in full swing, with 112 alumni having contributed thus far in 1967. The next asking will be for 1968 in early spring. Along with this will be sent the up-to-date Oklahoma chapter alumni directory, listing all Oklahoma chapter alumni and alumni from other chapters living in Oklahoma. More about this will be given at the annual alumni meeting of the Oklahoma chapter, held right after the game on November 16-at the chapter house. Agenda items should be sent to Hugh Rice, Oklahoma '61, president of the Oklahoma chapter alumni corporation.

In between our lessons in chopsticks and the use of the tea cups we heard from Brother Bob Marzek about the new DU colony started at the University of IVlaryland.

Paper.

Brother Ewbank was a counsellor of our Purdue chapter and formerly director of intercollegiate debate and forensics at Purdue. He has served as parliamentarian for the faculty of Purdue, the Indiana Nurses Association, the Purdue "mock political convention," and other student and professional groups.

He is now assistant director, Training and Research, Extension Service of the State of Indiana. ' "The thesis of the book is that each meeting should have a purpose, or purposes, and that each participant should have established his own personal reason to be a part of that meeting before it starts and should so guide his actions that he does the best possible job in achieving his reason for participating. This he does by informing himself about what is to be discussed, and how to promote what is discussed, and how to promote what he wants done through appropriate actions" (Author).

The procedure and the problem should be carefully studied in order that the "meeting actions" may be successful so that the actions may be successful. This applies both to the presiding officer and to a member.

Brother Ewbank says that "a meeting should DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY.

maintain respect for the rights of each individual, agree to abide by the will of the majority, and focus on one idea at a time."

This is no "dry-as-dust book" nor a "highfalutin" Roberts Rules of Ouier. It can well serve members and officers of chapters, conferences, and conventions.

Among the various subject headings of the book are: 1. When to hold a meeting.

2. Participation in a meeting (Preparing and p erforming) .

3. Serving the meeting as leader.

4. Parliamentary practice in committees.

5. Parliamentary practice in business meetings.

6. Common parliamentary motions.

7. Other useful motions.

8. Organizational and procedural structure.

9. Strategy in meeting management.

10. Learning meeting management.

The author believes that a prior reading assignment could well serve the discussions at our "Leadership Conferences" and contribute directly to the operations of the Fraternity.

The Cooperative Extension Service of the State of Indiana (U. S. Department of Agriculture) has cooperated with Purdue University in sponsoring Brother Ewbank's valuable study.
