President's Rep_o_rt

_

Spring, Health, Finance Two recurring Quarterly features take a look this time at ways to protect yourself.

First, three DU financial planners ponder what DUs might do to protect their personal finances. Whether you are just out of college, midway through your career, or nearing or entering retirement, you'll find good advice.

Delta Upsilon has always been in the planning business. We provide a plan for young men to discover their dreams and set out to achieve them.

Provided the man puts forth the effort, we promise as brothers to steer him toward paths that payoff and away from those with known hazards.

Our fraternal plan, and the sound aspects of a good financial plan, shine forth in our founding principles. If a man believes in Justice and Character, he'll strive always to do the right things in all aspects of life, even though they may not be as profitable, convenient or quite as much fun in the short run.

If he wants to promote Friendship, he'll encourage his brothers as they follow challenging paths, and he'll treat other people with genuine interest, seeking no unfair advantage.

Regarding Liberal Culture, which in our founders' days meant believing in the triumph of open-minded learning as a means to improve society, we urge our members to study broadly and become well-rounded men, ready for all challenges.

Those principles serve us well when it comes to financial matters: forego the quick buck, invest for the long haul, help other people, take no unfair advantage, learn all you can, know why you're investing.

We strive to protect Delta Upsilon.

If you have protected yourself by

President McQuaid planning well, and are the beneficiary of good financial planning, consider protecting DU's future by sharing your good fortune through regular gifts to your college, to DU and to your chapter. Almost every gift, whether to an annual fund-raising campaign or a capital drive, has some tax advantages for you. If we as alumni leave a strong financial legacy for colleges and universities and for Delta Upsilon, we're securing the future for generations of DUs to come.

The second article I commend to you is our Health and Wellness feature. This issue is on testicular cancer and the importance of monthly self-examination. This is an ideal article to copy and share with your male relatives and co-workers. This cancer, deadly if untreated, is easily detected and has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers if found early.

Best wishes for a good spring, good health and good finances!

Fraternally,

Letters to the Editors In Search of Justice Dear Editors: Today I received my son's January 1996 Delta Upsilon Quarterly. My son, Laurence H. Jones, Jr. was a member of Delta Upsilon Fraternity since his freshman year at the University of Maine at Orono. During his senior year at U.M.O., he was elected to serve as president of his local chapter. However, he chose to serve as treasurer instead, due to his many commitments.

In August 1993, Larry left Maine and went to Baltimore, Maryland. He intended to establish residency there and planned to work and attend graduate school at Johns Hopkins University.

Unfortunately, less that three months later, Larry was murdered on the streets of Baltimore. To date, the Baltimore police have made no arrests for this crime. In November 1995, Mark Tomlin from the Baltimore Police Department telephoned me. He identified himself as the cold case squad shift commander.

Mr. Tomlin stated that the cold case squad had selected my son's case, and they would be giving this case "individual attention." He went on to say that his squad had the assistance of the F.B.I. and he hoped that they would possibly be able to solve the case by Christmas, as a "gift" to me.

In December, Sgt. Roger Nolan telephoned me. He said he was also with the cold case squad and they were "taking the case back to the beginning" to be certain that no clues had been overlooked.

In late January, 1996, I telephoned Sgt. Nolan to ask if there had been any progress on the case. I was told that the cold case squad had not actually taken over the case, but rather they were giving the homicide detective (Richard Petry) assistance, since his workload was so heavy. I was told there were no new developments and the case was at a standstill. Needless to say, this shocked me, since for nearly three months I had been thinking the case had been receiving "individual attention."

DELTA UPSILON QU,IRTERLI'/APRIL 1996

For over two years, I have been struggling to see justice done in this case. I have written and telephoned innumerable government officials, asking for help. In September 1995, my dear husband, Laurence, Sr., died very unexpectedly. I think that the stress and pain of our son's loss finally became too much for him to bear.

I was interested to read in the Quarterly that one of Delta Upsilon's principles is the "Advancement of Justice" and also that the motto is "Dikaia Upotheke ...Justice our Foundation." Since Delta Upsilon supports and honors justice, I hope that you will assist me in my struggle to see justice done for my son, your brother.

The Baltimore Police recently told the editor of our local newspaper (Mark Woodward of the Bangor Daily NeHlS) that the police appreciated hearing from people regarding my son's case because it gives them "encouragement" to continue working to solve this crime. I am asking that DU add another voice in "encouraging" the Baltimore Police to continue efforts to bring this case to a just conclusion. I will deeply appreciate your efforts in my son's behalf. Letters, petitions or telephone calls may be directed to: Thomas Frazier, Commissioner Col. Ronald Daniel, Chief (410-396-2088) Sgt. Roger Nolan (410-396-2100) Baltimore Police Department 601 East Fayette St. Baltimore, Maryland 21202 Yong C. Jones, Mother of Laurence A. Jones, Jr., Maine '93

Mrs. Jones' intention is to support and encourage the Baltimore Police in their continuing investigation. Letters from brothers and chapters may be sent to any of the law enforcement officers listed above.

Elitism Can Make For A Better World Dear Editors: Brother R. P. Clark's article on elitism in "The Advocate" column of the January Quarterly tells it like it is.

But what caused some academics to get their knickers into such a twist over elitism? Two horrendous world conflagrations plus miraculous technological advances all in less than half a century - produced an unique intellectual malaise. On one hand, mankind witnessed previously unimagined horror, savagery, and destruction. On the other, phenomenal advances in science and technology, with an exponential growth and availability of knowledge. And hanging over it all, the mushroom cloud.

Socialism, which had been advanced by idealists as a panacea for all the world's ills, had taken a nasty totalitarian turn, but the new academic social engineers, in their ivied, tenured security looked the other way as socialist states refined and improved on all the old evils of capitalism. The party line proscribed elitism as anathema. Everyone must be made equal. The talented must not be allowed to outstrip the untalented. A man must not be blamed for what an evil capitalist society has caused him to perpetrate. And on and on and on toward mediocrity!

Most social engineers never learned, or conveniently ignored, the primary law of nature - the survival of the fittest.

That law is immutable. The absolute best that any society can do with its social engineering is to offer everyone an equal opportunity to break from the starting gate. After that, as in any race, the field will string out, and the winner's circle will never be crowded. That's just the way it is in the real world.

An enlightened elitist philosophy promotes civilized excellence. But without compassion, unbridled egocentric elitism can also produce great evil and misery. Tens of thousands of graves in American military cemeteries all over the world attest to that. However, we have three infallible guidelines - our Constitution, the Ten Commandments, and easiest and best of all, the Golden

Rule. Elitism within these confines can only make a better world for all. That's what Delta Upsilon is all about!

Brother Remembers DD's Shining Lights Dear Editors: I have received the January issue of the Quarterly and have read with particular interest the awarding of the Distinguished Alumnus Award to four of "DU's Shining Lights." Having aged closer, nearer to the outer edges of the Fraternity's active circle, I was delighted and surprised that I personally know two of those honored.

When I was the lone and naive field representative under Jay Grimes in early 1957, I wended my way each morning

through the canyons of New York City from my quarters at the Phi Gamma Delta club to the office of DU on Madison Avenue. In the course of preparations to head into the field, Charlie Prutzman was often in the office and he always had an encouraging "word" for the future.

When I found myself in the very unfamiliar country of Chapel Hill, it was W. D. Watkins who was the gracious and welcoming presence. It was not a solid picture, as I recall, in the North Carolina fledgling chapter; "Mr. Watkins" was eternally optimistic, and obviously, rightly so. We crossed paths several times during my short service with DU and I still don't know how "W. D." is translated !.

Just wanted to add my P.S. endorsement and congratulations on two men so aptly chosen to receive this highest honor and award. And I certainly savored the memories stirred as I read their stories.

Knowing Charlie and Mr. Watkins a bit from the past assured me the Fraternity chooses well those honored.

Always enjoy reading news of the Fraternity in the Quarterly. Times have changed - and by comparison to those days in the late' 50s, largely for the better. And when Northwestern goes to the Rose Bowl, the horizons look very hopeful.

"What should Ido with my money?"

Spoken or not, that's the heart of the matter when it comes to financial planning. The answers depend on a wide range of issue s: your income and financial condition today, your likely income tomorrow, how long you 'd like to or can or must work, what you want to do in retirement, what pension funds may be available, how much risk you are willing to tolerate in investments, special needs or desires of your family, and personal traits like lifestyle preferences, savings propensity, and charitable tendencies.

We all hear investment advice. It comes from many angles, some objective, some with the seller in mind.

We thought it might be helpful to Quarterly readers to hear from some DDs in the field.

I>F:I.TA UPSILON QUA R TE RLI'/APR IL 1996

For purposes of the articles, we divided our brethren into three age groups, and asked a member of each group to share some thoughts applicable to men of that age. Jim McKay, Syracuse '82, takes a look at the youngest of those three groups, at men fresh from college to about 40 or so, getting established in their careers.

For the middle group, roughly ages 40 to 60, we turned to Warren Wandling, Kansas '58, who looks at the men in the wealth accumulation stage in the two decades before retirement.

Finally, for our more senior members, we asked Ed Ripke, Wisconsin '56, to share some thoughts for men nearing or in retirement, mindful of the need for income, long-term care and leaving something for children, or the abundance of worthy causes.

We make no guarantees that all these gems of wisdom are right for you. But we do encourage you to read all three articles, since each sparks questions and considerations that may well apply to your circumstances, present or future. Certainly, they will get you thinking, and that's a major part of any investment plan.

Personal Finance

Set Goals, Take Action Successful financial planning really comes down to two key steps: setting goals and taking action. Start by identifying and prioritizing your goals and objectives. Then figure out where you are today by preparing your own balance sheet (assets versus liabilities) and income and expense statement. From a hard look at these, you can determine how much you can allocate toward your goals from existing dollars and from monthly savings.

All the financial planning in the world won't help if you don't take action. Procrastination is the major roadblock between you and financial success. How many times have you heard someone say, "I wish I had started saving ten years ago." Getting started can be the toughest part of financial planning, so resolve to get started today.

When you do take action to implement your plan, here are some things to think about.

A sound money management philosophy strikes a balance among four key areas: - cash reserves - adequate protection - fixed assets - equity assets (stock) Cash reserves are dollars available for emergencies or opportunities that arise. A sound rule of thumb is to have three to six months of living expenses set aside, depending on your situation. A cash reserve could be a checking account, savings account, or money market fund, just someplace you can get money immediately.

Adequate protection means insurance, and this is money to protect the things we can't afford to lose. When a death occurs, there may be surviving family members with a need for more income to maintain their standard of living. In determining the right amount of life insurance you should consider debts to be paid off, and the survivors' income and expenses. Just having enough life insurance to pay the mort-

gage may not be enough.

Sometimes a long-term disability can be more financially devastating than a premature death. How would you pay your bills if you had no income for a couple of years? For a 35 year old person in this country, the chance of being disabled for 90 days or more by age 65 is 40 percent. Many of you may have disability insurance through your employer, and a typical plan would pay you 60 percent of earnings. Be aware that if the employer pays the premium for the insurance, your benefit would be taxable. Remember this when figuring out if your coverage meets your family's

needs. When you're young and saving money for future goals, your success depends on your ability to earn money.

Doesn't it make sense J. McKay to protect those earnings?

Fixed assets pay a certain rate of return for a specific period of time.

Examples are corporate, municipal and

The first bar shows a $100 monthly investment, never changing. The second bar starts with $100 monthly, which is then increased by 4 percent every year.

Over the last 5 and 10 years, the stock market as measured by the S&P 500 has averaged over 15 percent return per year.

Personal Finance

Plan for Retirement Pre-retirement is that time

between our youth and when we retire. Preretirement means many things to many different people. Some never plan to retire. Others plan to keep working at a lesser pace even after they retire. There are those who think of pre-retirement as those activities just before they actually retire: getting their affairs in order, adding up their assets, updating their wills, using trusts of one form or another, etc. However, others think of preretirement starting when they are very young and have their first lawn job or lemonade stand.

Certainly the more time we have to plan, the less money it takes. Sylvia Porter, the well-known financial columnist, points out many of us have to forego some of today's luxuries in order to have tomorrow's necessities. The younger we start planning, the less money it takes. It is certainly more fun to spend money than it is to save, except for those who are very concerned about their tomorrows.

Whatever age we are, we need to have an organized, systematic plan. That should start with understanding what your Risk Propensity is. Risk Propensity may be determined by drawing a straight line, putting a mark at the end of each end of the line with a mark in the center.

On the one end you have a I and on the other you have a 10. If you are right of center, the closer you get to 10, you have a higher Risk Propensity, that means you are comfortable with greater risks, If it is to the left of center, closer to I, you have a lesser risk tolerance. There are more sophisticated Risk Propensities where you are asked a number of questions, and the score based on numerical scales indicates where you fall. One classes you as a Risk Avoider, Risk Minimizer, Risk Blender, Risk Acceptor, or Risk Taker.

It doesn't matter how you are doing on your investments if you lie awake at

night with eyes like silver dollars because you are worried about losing your money or that the market may go down. Everybody likes to take risks when the market goes up. There are those that have an awful hard time when the markets go down. But you should remember there are "two" kinds of risks: the marketplace risk, which we are all familiar with, and the inflation risk. If we are too conservative, our money can be eroded over the course of time. The only thing that has performed well over a long time has been stocks.

After you know your Risk Propensity, then you should put together or have someone assist you in putting together a strategy designed just for you. I don't have enough space to go into the technique of constructing a strategy, but one very basic element is to determine how much money you are going to need or want when you retire. One way and a good way is to figure what you are living on today. Many use anywhere from 75% to 100% of current income to decide what they want to live on when retired.

Looking toward retirement there are five problems we face.

I. Source of income is declining.

We are all familiar with the famous 3legged stool of retirement. The three legs are made up of Social Security, pensions, and income and savings. Social Security - you know the situation Social Security is in, not good. Pensions There are those people who have their money in 40 I k plans. Under their selections they put their money in very conservative investments and do not have the chance to keep up with inflation or to grow to what they will need for retirement. Income and savings - savings is about 3% in this country. It's very low, not only for this country but also on an international standard. It is a shaky threelegged stool.

2. Living longer. We are all living longer and it's been said in some scientific communities that babies born

by Warren A. Wandling, Kansas '58 today could live 130 or 140 years.

3. Financial responsibilities are increasing.

People that are in their 50s today sometimes l짜. Wandling referred to as the "sandwich generation" have younger children who need financial help and many times their parents need financial assistance.

4. Rising costs of living. The last five years the average inflation has been 3.5%, but in 1980 it was 14.3%. The cost of living doubles every 20 years.

5) Taxes. We don't know what Washington is going to do, but the tax squeeze is really felt by everyone. About 51 percent of all of our earnings currentIy goes to taxes. This includes federal, state and other types of taxes paid on goods and services.

Our older years should be our golden years not our nickel and dime years. So it is important to plan for retirement.

I suggest 10 solutions.

1. We need to change our way of thinking. We need to look at retirement years; the first stage being between 6575, second stage as 75-85, and the third 85 and older.

2. Figure out what your income and expenses will be when you are ready to retire. Then figure out what you need to save today and what you have to earn on that money after taxes to be able to live the way you want to live.

Keep in mind your Risk Propensity.

3. Selection of where you are going DELTA UPSILON QUAR1'ERLl'/APRIL 1996

9

Personal Finance to live. Both husband and wife should decide this. So many times people move to be close to their children only to get settled and see their children get transferred or moved.

4. Important to stay working.

Many suggest that in the first stage (6575) it is good to do some type of work referred to sometimes as flex-retirement and work on special projects or do some kind of work; it also helps augment retirement.

5. Another way to let your money last longer is to say "no" to the kids. It isn't easy for any parents to say no to their children. Of those who have already retired, many are still helping their kids through college or helping them buy a new house or loaning money so they can start a business or the grandchildren's school, it can go on and on and take many precious dollars from your retirement. I had a client who used to say one mom can raise three boys, but three boys have a hard time taking care of one mom.

6. Accept the fact that you are going to die. Plan while you are still vibrant and alert. Update your will or trust. Work with any estate planning attorney, a good CPA, a good life insurance person who is a CLU, ChFC or CFP. Then, let your family members know what you have done. Don't look for bargains. It is one of the most important things you'll do to conserve your estate. The Social Security department tells us there are 36,000 people in the United States over 100 years of age.

7. When planning for old age, consider some long-term care. It should cover home care and nursing home care. The younger you are when you purchase it, the less expensive it is.

8. Invest. You must keep growing your income. Years ago, if you were young you had stocks and if you were older you had bonds. That isn't necessarily true today and it does take some good counsel to stay current.

9. Risk really means risk. Markets go down and markets go up. But there are two kinds of risks. One is the marketplace risk which we are all so familiar with. The other risk is if we are too conservative, our incomes can be eroded.

I have a client who is in his 80s and he told me once, he put all of his money in bonds and his spending power has not kept up with his lifestyle. Stocks certainly have stayed ahead of inflation.

10. Don't panic when the market has a correction. It will go up and it will go down - remember your Risk Propensity.

Conservation Retirement and doing things we want to do is a happy thought. But not all of us will make it to retirement.

Some will die during retirement. Keep in mind, if something should happen along the way, where does the cash come from to support the children, get them through college and bring income in for your spouse to live on? As the old philosopher once said, nobody wants to die, but everyone wants to go to heaven. Not fun to talk about, but this is all part of preretirement planning.

Some say, "We don't need life insurance, we can sell our stocks, equipment, assets or use cash." This is true, but only if there is a market and if the owner does not want to conserve the business/assets he or she worked so hard to acquire.

How many people who have truly had all options proposed to them will choose to use up assets? At best, one only gets a percentage of the value of the items being sold. Why use $10,000 of cash when you can probably use less than 10% of assets with the right kind of planning and cash creation upon death?

A great tool for creation of cash is life insurance. Many people have archaic, preconceived ideas about life insurance. If you or your attorney or CPA think this way, they should update their understanding! What we are not up on we are usually down on. I have heard some folks suggest they would buy life insurance, but only term insurance. What happens if the problem is not a term

problem but a continual problem? Estate planning, funding a stock redemption, or continuing a buy-out on an ESOP are ongoing rather than term problems.

My big concern is what happens when the insured, who was advised to use term as a solution for funding a permanent problem, gets to be 70 or 80 years of age? Most people cannot afford premiums at those ages, or if they can, don't care to pay them.

The late Don Barnes, a former columnist for The National Underwriter, once described the adage to Buy Term and Invest the Difference in these words, 'There is probably not a single agent who has been active in the business during the past half-century who has not come up against this seductive turn of sophistry." It is futile to tell prospects that they are not likely to renew for as long as they need coverage, and even less likely to figure out what the difference is and invest it sanely. Each of these actions requires a strong mind and impeccable budgeting. Few people, even the agents who sell it, can sustain such a program over the long-term.

Too many folks simply don't understand the leverage and conservation of assets available through the use of life insurance. They dismiss life insurance as simply not a good buy without considering the myriad of benefits available through the use of a properly designed product.

So, as you look at your whole retirement plan, consider life insurance and the right kind. There are good companies that use life insurance with mutual funds which drive the policies.

Some of those mutual funds have done very well.

This has been brief, but hopefully will give you some ideas on how to approach putting together your retirement. Happy trails!

What to do and What NOT to do It seems like just yesterday that my fat her, Lucius Hip ke, Wisconsin '19, reti red from an active life in medicine and with mom moved to Ft. Laud erd ale, Fl orida. Now I'm approaching the age of retirement...so wh at a great opportunity thi s is to look bac k over a busy investment career of so me 30 years and tell yo u what to do or more easily what NOT to do.

If you haven 't had your attorney revi ew your will in the last five years, call him TODAY. A will determin es ho w your assets will be distribut ed at death, and who will oversee the distributio ns. Preserving your wishes cannot be guaranteed without a will. You will have peace of mind if your will is in order.

If you elect to set up a trust of any kind, be sure to ask about ongoing and

terminating fees, and who is responsible for investment decisions now and in the future.

We will assume you have accumulated some investments of various types, and are now determ ining how best to manage them. It is important to keep your eye on the goa ls of preserving value and providing sufficient income, and to avoid the effec ts of some emotional responses to these investments which may distract you from your goals.

Let me offer some anecdo tes from experience.

Dad couldn't sell a stock if it had a loss, because that was an indica tion he had made a mistake. He couldn 't sell a stock with a ga in, because he refused to give the IRS their due . I pondered this, and asked , "You mean we have to wait

Thank goodness, Dad laughed.

Do what is right inve stmentwise and don 't E. Hipke fret over the taxes or let the embarrassment of the loss take over your straight thinking.

The eas iest way to know what to do is to look at some examples of what not to do. Th e big error Gus made was not buying any stocks. He held bonds whose value did not change as the cost of living rose.

What a problem that is for his widow (age 86) whose portfolio has no growth to benefit her. Even modest inflation catches up with you. Please note that an "income portfolio" shows 10% in stocks. Every age needs grow th!

Personal Finance going research can help you see when a stock is not keeping up, and could be sold to buy a more promising issue.

Every library has Standard & Poor sheets with a two-sided review on companies that trade on the New York, American, and NASDAQ exchanges. A five-minute read can save you lots of money. Don't ask your friend what to do unless your friend is Peter Lynch or Warren Buffett.

Study the facts and make up your own mind. It's not as difficult as you think.

Sally never sold! So some of her stocks had costs below $1 a share.

Wonderful, yes, but she didn't own any of the names or upcoming industries that are making new highs today. Be sure to

take some gain every year so that you have fresh funds available. It makes a "monumental" difference in 10 years!

The portfolios that have done well over the years show good discipline on the buy and sell side. It's real hard to play catch-up!

Because they had a phobia about paying taxes, Dick and Jane bought "Limited Partnerships." Let's add "derivatives" here too. Don't buy something you can't sell! Even a 5 percent U. S. Government bond would have outperformed their LPs much less a small position in Disney, Abbott Labs, or McDonalds!

I've never bought a mutual fund, but my clients come in with time. I haven't had good luck with them. Bill and Joan

bought a very popular fund in 1957 and we redeemed it in 1987 at a 30% loss even after the reinvestment of the dividends. The broker countered by saying ..."but they doubled their money!"

Bill and Joan, you set your goal much too low.

Stocks are fun, exciting and very challenging. Unlike mutual funds, you can manage your taxes. Stick with what you know best. Three to 15 stocks are plenty...up to $3 million. Invest in America and enjoy!

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/APRIL 1996

Executive Director's Page

Alcohol: #1Problem

A few weeks after the January

It is a solution for living. The problems

issue of the Quarterly reached its readers, I received a telephone call from a DU alumnus to discuss the comments I made in the Executive Director's Page.

We had an informative conversation and I asked him if he would mind putting his thoughts on paper so that the Quarterly Editors could consider printing his message. He did and I offer it to you.

our drinking creates are side effects that compound and eventually eclipse our everyday fears. To recover, we must learn how to handle life in a healthy way so we no longer have a need to resort to oblivion.

Like most college students, I found the freedom of being away from home exhilarating. Fraternities attract more than their share of alcoholics, because we (alcoholics) are drawn to people we think share our enthusiasm for social drinking. My chapter neither helped nor hindered what was a natural progression for me. At such a young age, most of us are still experimenting with mind-altering substances and are unaware that we may already have lost control. My drunkenness accelerated after graduation when I had more time and money to pursue my favorite hobby. I drank for eight more years and quit at age 30.

Getting the attention of young addicts is extremely challenging. We all feel bulletproof at 20. Most of us at that age haven't anything to lose yet and equate alcoholism with homelessness.

There are no quantity or frequency guidelines (such as "x" number of beers per day) for identifying alcoholics. But observe a suspected alcoholic to see if he continues to make a special place in his life for alcohol.

Spotting a problem drinker is much easier than helping him for one simple reason: no one can help him until he is willing to help himself. It is of paramount importance that those around him avoid the mistake of allowing his problems to become theirs. Most attempts to "help" him through the problems caused by drinking just enable him to continue hurting himself and others. Unless he suffers the complete consequences of his own actions, there is no compelling reason for him to change. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. No one can say (least of all the alcoholic) how far he'll go to hang onto his best friend booze.

Dear Brothers of Delta Upsilon: In the last DU Quarterly, Executive Director Abe Cross pointed to alcohol as our Fraternity's #1 problem. I'm writing to you because it's my #1 problem, too - and I've found a solution.

Some of you are alcoholics like me and have no idea that you are in the grips of something which will not let go. You can beat it only by surrendering. The rest of you know someone like me who doesn't see his own problem or just won't quit. You must acknowledge your own powerlessness over his drinking and deal with his behavior. My comments may help you to see what you are up against.

Alcoholism is the inability to control one's drinking. It is still only partially understood by the medical profession but is regarded as a disease. Approximately 10% of mankind is afflicted. Generally, its victims are indistinguishable from other people until they ingest alcohol. The phenomenon of craving (absent in "normal" drinkers) forces them to consume more than intended. The only way for an alcoholic to avoid this physical compulsion is through total abstinence. Therefore, treatment deals with getting rid of the mental obsession which always leads to the first drink.

We drink because we desire the effect produced by alcohol. For an alcoholic, it brings about changes in perception and behavior which are useful in escaping a reality we don't like or don't feel equipped to handle.

What can you do? How do you host social events without feeding a potentially fatal habit in the process? A true alcoholic will find what he wants whether you provide it or not. No human power can stop it. You do have the obligation to establish standards and to enforce them.

Alcohol abuse is no excuse for unacceptable behavior. If your brother refuses or is unable to modify his conduct he can be disciplined and offered help. I accepted treatment only after my employer issued an ultimatum.

He must have a way out - something to replace the alcohol. Without it he will likely go insane (of course, an argument could be made that he is already). One option is Alcoholics Anonymous, now 61 years old with millions of members worldwide. As an active member I can assure you that since our own continued recovery depends on helping others, any call for help will be answered. Most cities have a listing in the telephone directory for meeting schedules or individual consultation. Or you can write AA World Services, Box 459, Grand Central Station, New York, NY 10163.

Fraternally, Steve R. Steve's story is true and it contains a powerful message. The Fraternity has established and enforces a set of standards when it comes to alcohol consumption in chapters. These standards are intended to ensure chapters observe appropriate laws, reduce potential risk, and through education, help young DUs understand the potentially devastating effects of substance abuse.

As an aside, Steve asked that we print his name with the last initial only.

He does not wish to be viewed as a spokesman for AA. Instead, Steve wishes to empower undergraduate leaders and offer insight on dealing with a very tragic affliction. For that, we are grateful for Steve's story.

Interfraternally,

Alumni News

T. Tanase

Damage from the Kobe earthquake, and the nature of homes that survived it, has sparked interest in Japan in American-style home-building - and a DU is in position to take advantage of the demand.

The traditional post-andbeam built Japanese homes took heavy hits in the 1995 Kobe disaster, with 120,000 homes collapsing. But none of those was a two-by-four frame constructed home.

Now Ted Tanase, Michigan '63, is working to enlarge the market for American-style construction, which accounted for about 4,500 home starts out of 1.5 million in Japan last year.

Brother Tanase's firm, Pacific Housing Materials & Design of Bellevue, Wash., has determined that the Japanese home-building industry needs a one-stop shopping outlet, rather than a warehouse-style supplier to do-it-yourselfers and small contractors.

At present, the Japanese distribution system is not centralized as in the United States. It is highly fragmented, which means contractors and laborers also are more specialists and not generalists able or willing to take on a 14

DELTAUPSILON QUARTERLY/APRIL 1996

two-by-four home project without someone to show them the ropes.

Tanase rejected the "big box" approach which works well for American firms like Home Depot. Instead, he's designing a center with a model home on about 5,000 square feet and another 10,000 square feet of warehouse space.

The model home will function as showroom for the building materials, almost all of which will come from the U.S. At hand will be access to support services like construction training, architectural and interior design, specs for materials and support for warranties and delivery.

Tanase is also envisioning a phase-in relationship as Japanese home-builders learn the quicker and cheaper American building practices.

Tanase's crews will build the first home as a contractor observes and takes videos.

On the next house, his company will provide only framers and drywallers. As the process moves along, only a supervisor will be provided until the Japanese contractor is comfortable with the ability to manage the projects alone.

Japanese post-and-beam construction uses many fourby-four posts, all of which are load bearing. Since twoby-four construction uses many more vertical supports, it is quicker to build and costs about half as much since lower grade material can be used. Still, with transportation costs figured in, an American-style home costs about 25 to 30 percent more than a comparable Japanese house.

Staff architects on site

will produce working drawings, tailored to meet Japanese conventions. Tanase also envisions a "designer of the month" traveling from the U.S. to display his or her ideas to the Japanese market.

Tanase hopes for a break-even point of about 150 homes for each of his centers, one in Kobe and one in Tokyo.

The cookout - actually a sumptuous repast of steak, chicken ka-bobs, baked beans, and the like -

provided an opportunity for the chapter and their dates to demonstrate their cooking skills, and for the more rotund alumni brothers to demonstrate their eating skills, honed to a fine edge after years of practice. Homecoming provided an opportunity to reunite long lost brothers, and a photo opportunity to share the visits with other alumni via photos in the chapter newsletter.

The Hungry DU

The Precinct: "living Theater" With over 55,000 living DU alumni scattered across the planet, it occurred to the Editors of your magazine that some of our brothers must be in the restaurant business. We envisioned a broad spectrum of establishments in existence; a logical reflection of the eclectic composition of our brotherhood. In our quest for riveting copy, your Editors thought an occasional article could feature those restaurants of DU ownership, and the men behind them.

The longevity of The Hungry DU on these pages, is in your hands. We consider it a trial feature, so let us know what you think, by writing to DU Headquarters (address on page 3) or via e-mail at: ihq@deltau.org. If you own or operate a restaurant, please notify us if you would like to have it visited by one of our reviewers.

Establishment: The Precinct Location: Cincinnati, Ohio Founded: 1981 Proprietor: Jeff Ruby, Cornell '70 DU Rating: (highest possible) Quote: "The road to success is always under construction:'

*******

Whether you're an occasional traveler or a certified Road Warrior, you will not forget an evening at The Precinct, just outside downtown Cincinnati. An experience there is a paean to the senses, and impresario performances are the expectation every night.

As with anything that achieves excellence, The Precinct is a product of passion, and in this case the passion drives Jeff Ruby, Cornell '70. The restaurant's high standards are his, and his use of theatrical metaphors to describe his philosophy is completely intentional. "A restaurant is 'living theater,' asserts Brother Ruby. "The employees become the cast. The owner is the director... Our goal from the very beginning was simply to be the best steakhouse in Cincinnati. That's not a 18

DELTAUPSILON QUARTERLI'/APRIL 1996

goal that can be accomplished just once.

It is a goal that must be accomplished

every night the curtain is raised."

Over the past 15 years, Brother Ruby's culinary performances have attracted the international attention of critics, competitors and a legion of appreciative audiences. It is not only the consensus-best steakhouse in Cincinnati, but it has earned a place among the elite of such establishments throughout the world. USA Today and Cigar Aficionado, among other publications, rate The Precinct as one of the top steakhouses anywhere.

The most striking element of Brother Ruby's restaurant, however, is its collection of inspired juxtapositions.

For starters, its location stands in marvelous contradiction to the tired cliche that the three most important elements to a restaurant's success are: "location, location, and location."

"There had never been a successful restaurant in this part of town," explains Brother Ruby, "and every deal I worked on to start in a better location fell through. So, lots of people refused to [invest in] The Precinct because of the location we wound up with." Ultimately, however, enough investors were convinced that Brother Ruby's ambition, experience (graduation from Cornell's renown school, along with nearly 10 years in the food and beverage operations with Holiday Inn properties in Cincinnati), and focus would overcome any issues of location.

In 1981, Brother Ruby and nine other people invested $10,000 each to open the restaurant. Among these individuals were Cincinnati Reds stars Johnny Bench and Pete Rose. Both remain business partners with Brother Ruby today.

The Precinct takes its name from the building's original purpose - as a community police headquarters, with construction dating back to the turn of the century. The Precinct's brick exterior reflects a genuine assimilation in its

neighborhood of two and three-story multi-family houses. While many restaurants attempt to entice patrons with facades in stark relief to their surroundings, The Precinct acknowledges and embraces its setting, and the resulting verisimilitude is refreshing and unique.

In Brother Ruby's restaurant, you'll not find a jacket-and-tie required atmosphere of hushed tones and condescending waiters. Nor will you be assaulted by the clattering din of, say, Smith & Wollensky's; or anxious management kvetching over portion controls and meeting quotas for tables turned in an evening. This is white linen tablecloth dining, but with a slight attitude: Victorian Gothic meets neon. The marriage works.

The Precinct is hip but not trendy; respectful, but not stodgy. The atmosphere mirrors the identity of its owner - totally committed to the enjoyment of his customers, uncompromising in his standards for quality, yet given to a quietly expressed passion for risk taking and rebellion. Brother Ruby claims that, "A truly great restaurant takes on the personality of its owner... The design, the style, the chemistry and charisma of that restaurant are a reflection of the owner's persona."

"They Come Here To Celebrate Life."

"Field of Dreams" shared the paradoxical message, "If you build it, they will come." In the case of The Precinct, the location might be characterized as "remote," but in reality it is less than 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati.

Reservations are highly recommended on weekdays, and a virtual necessity on weekends. All roads lead past the Maitre d's desk, through the tiled and gregarious bar area (formerly the kitchen), and into the main dining room. Once seated, another round of juxtapositions present themselves among details as fine as the room's lighting.

Each table is adorned by candlelight, but wandering along near the top of the 12-foot ceilings is a delicate line of purple neon.

Background music is ruled by the likes of Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, or even Cab Calloway, though some of the

The way in which Brother Ruby deve loped the seasoning says volumes about his focus, commitment, and passion. He was influenced to make The Precinct a steakhouse when a friend took him to visit an unassuming restaurant in Dayton, Ohio, called the Pine Club.

"It was clear that they had a secret seasoni ng that they were using on their steaks ," recalls Brother Ruby. "One Sunday, I drove up to Dayton and jumped into their dump ster, looking for the containers of seaso nings that they used.

"But they had scratched the The Precinct Proprietor; Jeff Ruby, Cornell '70. labels off, so you couldn' t tell what they were using. Finally, we came up with our own seasoning decor wanders down a whimsical path which really helped."

rooms, occas ionally stopping at tables to greet both familiar and new. He is clearly one of Brother Ruby's "centerstage" performers.

Th is is an exce llent operation being run by a DU who has endured adversity and worked hard throughout his life to realize a series of goals. Recalling some of his childhood, Brother Ruby reveals that, "My mother was a culinarian; I thought culinarian was a religion."

Like most roads to success, however, Brother Ruby was tested along his journey. Ultimately, his parents divorced and the restaurant they owned was closed. He ran away from home at age 15 and worked his way through high school with a job in the kitchen of a nearby pancake house.

He arrived on the Cornell campu s having learned many of life 's hard lessons, but he claims his involvement and experiences in DU taught him a great deal more. 'T he Fraternit y helped me develop some great friendships and loyalties," he said.

He elaborates by describ ing an incident that occurred on his 2 1st birthday, when he became a central figure in helping regain control of the university's administration building. On April 19, 1969, the building was comm andeered by 150 militant students. During the uprising, Brother Ruby was captured in a photo for the May, 1969 issue of Life magazine (page 24). "Every other guy in that picture was a DU" he says proudly.

"They ran up to the admini stration building as soon as they heard I might be in trouble - I won 't ever forget that."

Cramp ed quarters at the Cornell Chapter also had an effect on Brother Ruby.

"With five guys in one little room" he recalls, "you learn how to live with others."

Today, he makes his living by serving others. They come to his restaurant to celebrate life, and his goal for each visitor is simple. "I want every customer saying, ' Wow! That was time well spent.' Because if they say that, then they're saying it was money well spent."

Such an elegantly simple goa l, yet one that Brother Ruby achieves each evening in his "living theater" known as The Precinct.

Time for aChange:

Recruitment in the '90s

by Gregory J. Lamb, Iowa '94 Director of Fraternity Expansion

Here are some startling facts about DU's membership recruitment efforts: • The Fraternity has experienced a 6-year decline in men pledged. • 31 chapters have pledged fewer than 10 men this year. • Nearly half of our chapters have reported fewer pledges this year than last year.

These statistics are not being published to embarrass any chapters. Nor are they designed to be pessimistic about the future of our Fraternity. They are intended to demonstrate how critical the current recruitment situation truly is.

The graph below illustrates the facts about Delta Upsilon's recruiting efforts in the '90s. These statistics should serve to motivate chapters into a new way of thinking about membership recruitment and a new level of commitment to correct these trends.

For years now, the National Interfraternity Conference has promoted its "5 steps to membership recruitment."

These steps, which most of us know by heart, give a simple model for meeting and pledging new members.

I. Meet him.

2. Make him a friend.

3. Introduce him to your friends.

4. Introduce him to the Fraternity.

5. Ask him to join.

These steps seem very simple. They seem like they should work. Yet, membership numbers continue to decrease.

Why? I believe the "5 step" model leaves out one very important piece of the recruitment puzzle.

"We must offer potential members programs and activities which will enhance their college experience ... " The step that is left out is the creation of a quality fraternity which people will want to join. A perfectly executed "5 step process" and the best rush events in the world will not get men to join our Fraternity. We must offer potential members programs and activities which will enhance their college experience and make them a better person.

DELTAUPSILON QUARTERLY/APRIL 1996

In a recent survey of American freshmen, 76 percent of male freshmen cited, "wanting to be able to get a better job" as a reason for attending college.

Nearly 70 percent marked, "to learn about things that interest me."

Students go to college to learn and improve themselves. No one cited, "to drink, live in a dirty old house, and get poor grades" as a reason for going to college.

Fraternities can grow if they change to accommodate today's success oriented student. We must offer an experience outside the classroom which will give our members a competitive edge in the job market, graduate school search, and in their personal lives.

What can our alumni do to help reverse this trend? Perhaps the best answer is: Get involved. All chapters of Delta Upsilon can benefit greatly from the advice, consultation, and recommendations of alumni.

A number of chapters have alumni who help coordinate recruitment events by hosting events at their homes or by providing services for printing of promotional materials. Others often offer rush recommendations on men who would make great DUs. Chapters can encourage alumni to recommend men, by immediately calling or writing the alumnus to thank him for the recommendation; by rushing the men well; and by letting the alumnus know the outcome, even if the man pledges elsewhere.

DU alumni can also help by recommending fraternity life to young men in their community. If all a high school graduate knows of fraternity is "Animal House," he needs the counter balance of advice from successful men who know that the true fraternity offers much more to men who are willing to put forth the effort.

The pressure is on us as DUs to seek out new members and offer an experience which will make them better men, enhance their college days, and give them an edge over the competition With all of us striving for excellence in every aspect of our Fraternity and personallives, we can reverse this trend. If we don't, it may be our generation which ends a 162-year tradition of friendship, character, culture, and justice. The choice is ours.

Health & Wellness

Testicular Cancer: "It's not who you know, it's what you know," As you round the corner near your favorite lunch spot, you meet the Grim Reaper, black robes flowing, sickle in hand.

Mindful that only his target can see him, you take the offensive. "I didn't expect you so soon."

"No one does."

"You are here for me, right?"

"Maybe."

"What do you mean, maybe? I thought you deal in absolutes."

Death smiles. "It depends on what you know."

"What I know? What is this, Final Jeopardy?"

"In a fashion," laughs Death. "I'm here for you, unless you can answer one question: Other than AIDS-related cancers, what is the leading cause of cancer death of men ages 18 to 30?"

"Cancer?" Hmmm, 18 to 30 ....

You're 24, you don't know many men who die of cancer before they're 30. Oh, young women sometimes, nasty ovarian tumors.... Since Death waits for no man, you make an educated guess.

"Testicular cancer?"

The Grim Reaper looks disappointed but respectful. "Exactly right, my friend." He murmurs something about it occurring in men of all ages, but that younger men are more likely to succumb because they tend to ignore any signs or 22

year; with at least 60,000 living DUs, odds are that two or three DUs will have it each year. Men of African descent have only one-third the risk of testicular cancer of other men. Men born with one or both testicles undescended - that is, in the inguinal canal or abdomen and not yet lowered into the scrotum - have a much higher risk of testicular cancer.

A number of symptoms mean you should consult a doctor immediately:

symptoms they notice.

"Guess I dodged a bullet, eh?"

"A bus with bad brakes, actually," says Death. "Ready for your second question?"

"You said one!"

"Call it extra credit. True or false: if detected by TSE when first possible, testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers; but if left untreated, it's a sure way to see me sooner."

You recall from your "how to study" class in DU that compound questions are more likely to be.... True? False? You guess: "True."

"Right again. Well, I'll be back, sooner or later." He turns to leave.

"Wait! 'Detected in time'? How do you detect it?"

"I'll leave that to you," says the Grim Reaper, fading from view. "I've been too helpful already."

Act II In which the prevention and cures become known and understood Testicular cancer almost always takes the form of a hard mass on the external surface of a testicle. Although there are other causes than cancer for a tumor on a testicle, it's a good bet that a lump is cancer.

Testicular cancer is most common in men 18 to 30 and over 60, although it does occur at all ages. There are about 3.7 cases per 100,000 population per

A dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin; A sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum; Pain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum. If a tumor is ruptured in an injury, blood may collect quickly and cause intensive pain, often the first sign if self-exams are not done; Enlargement or tenderness in the breasts, which may result from tumor-induced hormone imbalance.

For each of these symptoms, there may be a cause other than cancer. But only a doctor can tell through an exam.

The sooner testicular cancer is found and treated, the better your chances for complete recovery.

A doctor will do a physical exam, and will carefully examine the scrotum, manually and often with ultrasound.

Chest x-ray and blood and urine tests will be done to see if there are signs of an infection or other disorder. If not, the doctor is likely to suspect cancer.

The only sure way to know whether cancer is present is for a tissue sample to be examined by a pathologist. To obtain the sample, the testicle must be removed.

This is not done by cutting through the scrotum, nor is just a part of the testicle cut away. Cutting into the

scrotum or testicle almost always releases cancer cells to travel through the body, spreading the cancer.

Instead, an incision is made in the groin, and the testicle is drawn up thorough the inguinal canal. If it's not obvious that the lump is cancer, the testicle is removed. The other testicle remains intact. It's extremely rare for cancer to occur on both testicles at once.

Once the sample is obtained, the pathologist determines if cancer is present and if so, what type. This indicates what treatment should be followed.

Various tests show whether the cancer has spread. If so, surgery may be done, as in removal of lymph nodes deep in the abdomen. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be used with some types of cancer.

But the initial step in either type of tumor is removal of the affected testicle.

This rarely reduces fertility, as the remaining testicle can carryon as it would have otherwise, and there is no change in the ability to maintain an erection.

If surgery is done to remove lymph nodes, there can be some effect on the ability to ejaculate. But newer surgical techniques and some medications can reduce the effects. Radiation and chemotherapy have their own side effects, which generally pass with time.

A prosthetic testicle, of equal weight and feel to the one removed, can be inserted into the scrotum.

After treatment for testicular cancer, regular follow-up is a key to ensuring that the treatment has been successful.

This involves regular x-rays and scans, and monthly blood tests for two years.

In the third year, one or two checkups may be needed. A man who is cancer free three years after testicular cancer has a very low incidence of recurrence.

Act III In which self-examination, done

Epilogue

monthly, disappoints Death

In which Death complains

Every man should examine his testicles once a month to help detect testicular cancer. This technique is known as testicular self-examination (TSE).

It's easiest to do after a warm bath or shower, when the scrotum is relaxed.

It takes only a few minutes.

Stand in front of a mirror, and look for any swelling on the skin of the scrotum.

Place your thumbs on top of the scrotum, and your index and middle fingers undemeath, so that one testicle is isolated (see Fig. 1). Gently roll the testicle between the thumbs and fingers.

It should be smooth, oval-shaped, and fairly firm. As you do TSE you'll become familiar with how each testicle feels. If a lump occurs, it's most likely to be on the side of the testicle, though some occur in the front. If you feel any lump on the testicle, see your doctor; remember that testicular cancer is highly curable, especially when treated promptly.

Locate the soft, tube-like structure at the back of the testicle. This is the epididymis (see Fig. 2), which collects

After learning about testicular selfexamination, and performing it regularly, you are surprised to see Death again, by your favorite lunch spot.

"Not you again!"

Death tums. "Oh, it's you! The smart one. No, I'm here for someone else; it seems after you've beaten me, you can see me."

"Well, that's a relief. Hey, Death, thanks for that tip about testicular cancer. I found out about TSE and you aren't getting me by that route."

"Hrrmph. Just don't tell your friends."

"Oh, I already have. I copied an article and gave it to friends at work, at the athletic club, at church, at the..."

"Enough! Begone! You've ruined my day," cries Death as he darts across the street to snare some unsuspecting victim.

"Glad to be of service, G.R.," you say, confident that knowledge is power.

Georgia Tech Pledges Receive Scholarship Recognition This past winter quarter was one of growth and change for our chapter. Of the 11 outstanding men that pledged in the fall, eight initiated in January after earning the campus-wide distinction of being the top pledge class in scholarship for the quarter.

Our quarterly scholarship dinner was a smashing success. Along with good food and brotherhood, our Dean of Students gave an interesting presentation to the chapter.

Iowa State Plans A Busy Spring Calendar The Iowa State Chapter is focusing on several items this year, including public and alumni relations, brotherhood, scholarship and recruitment.

A dodge ball philanthropy will be held in mid-April, and alumni weekend will take place during Iowa State's Alumni Days 1996, in early June.

Several events, such as an all-chapter retreat, are planned to improve our brotherhood and friendship.

Considering our strong core of freshmen and sophomores, a successful rush should be able to fill the chapter house. We are currently inviting high school seniors to take part in Greek

Week activities.

Our scholarship program continues to improve. An academic review board has been created to consult with members on their academic needs.

Spring initiation was exciting, with ten new initiates and four new members pledged. Tom Hansen' 79 delivered the motivational charge to the chapter.

Kent State Continues to Raise Money for Injured Brother Almost one year has elapsed since Brother Chad Johnson was paralyzed in a freak accident following an interfraternity tug-of-war competition. For the first two months, Chad needed a ventilator to assist his breathing. While he is still paralyzed from mid-chest down, he has regained partial use of his arms through weekly physical therapy.

Chad suffers occasionally from "cabin fever," and is hopeful fund raising activities will raise $40,000 for a

handicapped accessible van with hand controls, the cost of which is not covered by insurance or state aid.

The undergraduates and alumni of Kent State continue to call on our brothers across North America to assist in this effort. Concemed and caring brothers and chapters are encouraged to make a contribution to the "Chad W. Johnson Mobility Fund," c/o Nick Giorgianni, 8335 Belle Vemon Drive, Novelty, Ohio 44072.

Minnesota Alumni Golf Tournament is June 9th.

The second annual alumni golf toumament is scheduled for June 9th. In addition, monthly alumni social nights are being planned. Please call the chapter at 612-362-8941 for details.

The Minnesota Chapter continues to realize great success. Since recolonizing in 1992, the chapter has grown to 40 members. Our last three pledge classes have allowed us to rise to sixth out of 22 fratemities in membership size at Minnesota.

We are participating in Minnesota area philanthropies such as the Adopt-ASchool Program where brothers spend time with elementary school kids. We are also collecting UPC symbols from Coke products to raise money for a boy to have a much needed operation.

The Minnesota Chapter has moved to a new location on Fratemity Row. Our new address is 1725 University Ave. S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55414.

Each of the chapter's 52 members takes at least one two-hour shift during the event which takes place over a weekend. The chapter set a goal of raising $2500.

San Jose Jump-A-Thon Benefits Children's Shelter The men of the San Jose Chapter pride ourselves on our many achievements over the past two semesters and are taking steps to realize continued success.

With the help of our outstanding alumni, we were able to obtain a new chapter house and over the past year made many renovations.

Over the past two semesters, we have placed first and second, respectively, in grades among all fraternities on campus. As of March, we are currently in first place for the always coveted Interfraternity Council Sports Trophy.

We have two brothers holding executive positions on the IFC, Russell Smith, Sports and Jason Restivo, Treasurer.

Finally, we were able to make a sizable donation to a local children's shelter through our philanthropy, Jump-A-Thon.

The event was organized by VP Public Relations, Mike Daniels '96.

North Carolina Volunteers in Community The brothers of the North Carolina Chapter have been very involved in volunteering their time in the community. Some brothers have been active in projects such as Project Literacy, in which we go to underprivileged areas and tutor children. Others have been spending several hours a week volunteering at the homeless shelter, preparing meals and acting as ovemight counselors.

We continue our tradition of helping the elderly of Chapel Hill. Every Sunday

San Jose Brothers benefited a local children's shelter by donating proceeds from annual Jump-A-Thon.

Chapter Sp_ot_lig.h_t_s Western Illinois Officers Learn Teamwork Through Adversity Eight brothers from Western Illinois braved the elements recently when they stayed out all night with only a crude shelter constructed from farm products to house them.

Having only metal livestock gates, round and square bales, and a tarp at their disposal, the men camped out on a farm.

They built a fire, cooked their supper on it, and slept all night in sleeping bags inside the shelter. They had no electric connections or heater whatsoever.

President Darren Headley '96 said of the event, "It went really well. We were alone with only our brothers and got to know each other better."

The adventure came about as a result of a series of meetings held by four advisors to the chapter. They found a dual purpose in changing the location of the annual event, first to cut expenses and also to present a new challenge which could prove rewarding for the brothers.

So they moved part of the retreat to the tiny town of Hooppole for one day.

The other two days, to be held indoors in Macomb, focused on planning calendars, budgets and programs.

The outdoor event was specifically designed to ignite the annual retreat, which was designed as a common bond to assist the men in team building and learning how to trust each other.

DU Educational Foundation News

Foundation Grants Fund Institute and Academy On an annual basis , the DU Educational Foundation makes grants to the International Fraternity, which help fund the two most important leadership development programs for your brothers on campus. Each winter , DU sponsors the Presidents Academy for the top leaders in each chapter. In the summer, over 200 brothers participate in the DU Leadership Institute (formerly know n as the Leadership Conference & Convention).

Many of our DU brothers have no comprehensive leadership training reso urces available to them on campus.

Ther efore , the DU Leadership Institute and Presidents Academy meet an essential educational need. To offer these important programs, the DU Educational Foundation depends on annual gifts received from over 3,000 brothers and friends.

While time is short, the 1996 DU Leadership Institute and 1997 Presidents Academy will once again offer naming opportuniti es for our most generous supporters. Last year, leadership gifts for Delta Upsilon 's primary educational program s were made by the following:

Downtown Indianapolis sky lin e, site of the 1996 Leadership In stitute which is funded through the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation.

The Advocate The Honorable Terry L. Bullock, Kansas State '61

My Delta UExperience Recently, someone asked whether my college fraternity experience had proved to be worthwhile, What a question!

When I was an undergrad at K-State, our chapter instituted a program of cultural enrichment which gained us the favorable attention of the University President, Dr. James A. McCain. At about this same time, our Delta U advisor, Melvin Baughman, first suggested I pursue a career in law.

When my father fell ill in my senior year, placing my law school prospects in doubt, Dr. McCain personally arranged for my law school scholarship at the University of Kansas and our Chapter Deputy Lloyd Houston and his wife Bonnie invited me to live rent-free in their home while I studied law - thus making it financially possible for me to become a lawyer.

When I began my law career in the State Capital, I was befriended by The Honorable Jay Parker, Chief Justice of Kansas and a Delta U from Kansas, within the first week after my arrival. When he later died, he arranged for me and Charles Henson, a young Kansas Delta U, to be honorary

pallbearers at his State Funeral. Mrs. Parker told us he believed our "exposure to the dignitaries" would do us good even after his death.

During my early career in the law firm, I found myself to be a "pledge," although they called me an "associate." I had learned how to succeed in that role at my chapter and within three years I was made partner. Thereafter, every Tuesday I attended "chapter meeting," although they called it "firm meeting" and I was made "rush chairman," although they called it "chair of the recruiting committee."

Several years later, an opening came on our Court.

By now Charles Henson was counsel to the Governor and when the Governor consulted his counsel about whom to appoint, Brother Henson suggested me. Perhaps Brother (Chief Justice) Parker was right - it did us good to have been "exposed to the dignitaries."

The rest is history. Twenty years later I am now Chief Judge and I am still using my Delta U lessons to good advantage every day.

Delta U ... a worthwhile experience? This time I'll let you "be the judge!"

"Delta U ... a worthwhile experience? This time I'll let you 'be the judge! '"
