* CHARACTER * Spring 2001 Dear Brother DU and Quarterly Reader: We're proud of our efforts to produce the very best publication possible for DU brothers across the world. Four times a year, Delta Upsilon publishes the Quarterly and mails it to over 55,000 alumni, 3,000 undergraduate brothers and their parents, and over 100 campus administrators. The DU Quarterly is THE voice ofthe Fraternity and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy producing it.

With the Spring 2001 edition before you, we've now published nearly 480 issues of the magazine.

In the Quarterly you'll read about truly Distinguished DUs, chapter leaders who participate in fantastic educational programs, and new scholarships being awarded by the DU Educational Foundation. Also, there are reports on our newest colonies and chapters, and dozens of DU brothers who are scholars, athletes, titans in industry, and who embody the spirit and legacy of Delta Upsilon. And, that's just this issue alone.

Rapid changes in technologies require that Delta Upsilon move quickly to stay in front of the pack andrmaintain a leading edge in our communication efforts. The Fraternity has streamlined the production of the magazine, and we are aggressively promoting the DU website as a central source for DU resources, services, programs, and communications. In fact, this issue of the Quarterly is already online at www.DeltaU.org!

A year ago, we reported that the DU Board of Directors had established a Quarterly Task Force to analyze all facets of the Quarterly. Here's some of what the task force concluded: 1.

6.

7.

There is a high level of readership among alumni and the quality of the publication is impressive.

The focus for content must be on chapter, undergraduate, and alumni news.

Reducing "hard copy" costs through distribution on the Internet is a long-term objective that should be continually pursued.

The Fraternity should continue to operate a Quarterly Fund to receive contributions from alumni and other readers to be used exclusively for production costs associated with the magazine.

The Fraternity should implement steps to reduce costs and consider creative alternatives for production and distribution.

The Fraternity should continue to partner with the DU Educational Foundation to publish the Quarterly.

The Quarterly is vital to building and maintaining a healthy alumni base.

Delta Upsilon's core purpose is to Build Better Men. To fulfill this purpose and to successfully promote DU's principles of Friendship, Character, Culture, and Justice, we ask for your partnership in the production of the Quarterly. Your input and financial support is truly appreCiated. We have included a reply form and contribution envelope on the back cover of this issue for your convenience in responding.

Your support of the DU QUaJ1erly is essential and we are deeply grateful for your input and contributions.

Interfraternally,

Abraham L. Cross, CAE Quarterly Editor

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Practicing DU's Principles Dear Brothers: Building Better Men is Delta Upsilon's purpose.

Better is the operative word. Practicing the principles of Friendship, Character, Culture, and Justice makes all men better. The process does not end with graduation, instead the process becomes more intense, more focused , and more urgent.

Linus grew up in Condon, Oregon, a town of about 850 people. His father ran the local drug store. He was a curious kid but was often teased by the town folk. He was sent to the hardware store for "checkerboard paint" and a "left-handed monkey wrench." When he finally moved on to the Ed Porter, Oklahoma '65 University of Oregon he joined Delta Upsilon because he was attracted by the concept of becoming a better man. Linus Pauling later became the only man in history to win the Nobel Prize in two separate categories. Linus did, in fact, become a better man as a result of becoming a DU. Read more about Linus on page 8 of this issue.

Terry, like Linus was also a curious but sometimes naIve youngster. In Wilsey, Kansas, (pop. 250) where he grew up, he was sent to the store for a "quart of electricity." He later attended Kansas State University on a music scholarship.

Terry Bullock says he became a DU for many reasons, the primary two being: "DU is very different from all other fraternities," and "DU is serious about building better men." Terry eventually switched from music to law and is now in his 25th year as a District Judge in Kansas. As District Judge he has attracted judicial acclaim for his use of the Internet in electronic case filing.

Terry is building better men throughout North America through his position on the Court, through his civic involvement, and through his continued significant involvement in Delta Upsilon. Read more about Terry on page 17 of this issue.

Our newspapers are full of evidence of the degradation of character, uneven justice, loss of cultural appreciation, and declining focus on the value of true friendship in our society. Delta Upsilon is leading the way to emphasize and instill the values of Friendship, Character, Culture, and Justice in our members. The purpose and principles of Delta Upsilon are more relevant now than ever before.

IHQ to Undergo Extensive

WE'RE PROUD to announce that Adam L. Culley, Northern Iowa '00, joined the International Headquarters staff as a Leadership Consultant in January.

Brother Culley attended the University of Northern Iowa, graduating in the fall of 2000 with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations, and with a minor in Graphic Communication.

A. Culley

As an undergraduate at Northern Iowa, Adam served his chapter as vice president for public relations and president, and attended the 2000 Presidents Academy and the Leadership Institute. In addition to his service with Delta Upsilon, Adam was a member of the UNI swim team for four years, a member of the Northern Iowa Student Government, and served on several advisory boards and committees for the university.

IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE FLOOR SPACE of the Headquarters building, address advancing technology needs, and accommodate the combined staff of the Fraternity and the Educational Foundation, extensive remodeling of the interior of the building will take place in early-200l.

In February, the Fraternity and Foundation staff were temporarily re-located to an alternate office site to expedite the renovation of the building. Only the street address will change during this period.

Staff e-mail addresses will remain the same, as will the primary address (Post Office Box 68942), the telephone number (317.875.8900), and the fax number (317.876.1629). Check our web site www.DeltaU.org for the latest updates on this joint project of the Fraternity and the Foundation.

Brother Culley is excited about his duties as a Leadership Consultant and is looking forward to working with the undergraduate chapters and their alumni. Adam says that he wants to give back to DU for what it has given to him.

YOU Can Make A Difference Building Better Men requires active alumni involvement. The chapters and colonies listed below need your assistance to succeed in the true DU tradition.

DUin the Bayou ELTA UPSILON WELCOMED ITS NEWEST COLONY, on November 17,2000, with the colonization at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The colony ceremony included the induction of 15 members of the Northwestern State Colony. The ceremony took place on the NSU campus in Russell Hall, one of the most historic buildings on campus at over 100 years old.

D

Northwestern State University was founded in 1884 in Natchitoches, the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. Director of Fraternity Expansion Darrell C. Holloway, Arlington '98, and Leadership Consultant John W. Duncan,Jr., Oregon State '00, helped to develop the interest group during the fall 2000 semester. The idea of bringing Delta Upsilon to NSU was first developed by NSU students David Beaver and Brian Duval during the fall of 1999. A group of 15 campus leaders assembled and met regularly beginning in the early fall of 2000. The interest group has been very involved in campus events and with other student organizations.

Friends, family, and university officials attended the colonization ceremony. Kris R. Robl, Kansas State '98, former co-ordinator of fraternity expansion for DU, delivered the colony Charge. Brother Robl spoke about past experiences, lifetime involvement in the Fraternity, and how Delta Upsilon's Four Founding Principles are an integral part of life for a DU man.

Following the ceremony, the members of DU's newest colony, alumni, and guests attended a reception and dinner to celebrate the colony's accomplishments in its brief history. The Northwestern State Colony must now meet the Fraternity's requirements in order to attain chapter status, and could be installed as soon as the end of the spring 2001 semester.

OUNDER'S DAY 2000 marked Delta Upsilon's 166th anniversary and the re-instatement of DU's chapter at San Diego State University. The San Diego Chapter of Delta Upsilon was re-instated on November 4, 2000, before a sizable crowd of alumni, families, and friends.

F

San Diego Chapter participated in the ceremonies as well. G. Lee "Snap" Marshall '71, the very first pledge in the first pledge class in the San Diego Chapter, served as Examiner, Bruce N. Howard '70 delivered the invocation, with William T. Plemons '71 and Michael J. Hartell '67 serving as Chief Marshals.

The San Diego Chapter returned after a five-year absence on SDSU's campus during the fall of 1999, with a strong alumni association and assistance of IHQ staff members Kris R. Robl, Kansas State '98 and Kevin B. McCord, Missouri '98. On December 4, 1999,60 days after their start as an interest group, 25 men assembled to be part of formal re-colonization ceremonies. With re-colonization behind them, the men set their goals on recruitment and other requirements to re-instate their Delta U charter.

DU Educational Foundation Trustee, Thomas F. Durein, OregO/i. State '92, inspired the crowd with his moving Charge speech. Brother Durein spoke of the group's accomplishments in their short period of existence, and how their vision and goals would fit into the new chapter's future. In addition, he stressed how important the Four Founding Principles were to him on a daily basis, and how each brother needs to hold them close to his heart as he continues his college career.

Through continued support from the alumni and the International Fraternity'S Board of Directors, the San Diego Colony was approved for re-instatement as a chapter. At that point, the colony decided that the most appropriate day for the re-instatement ceremony would be Delta Upsilon's finest day, November 4th. Colony VP-Public Relations Scott J. Roberts '04 worked diligently to assist the alumni and Fraternity officials to organize the re-instatement ceremonies and festivities.

On the night of November 3, 2000, 28 men assembled on the San Diego State University campus, ready for the re-instatement and initiation ceremonies. Executive Director Abraham L. Cross, Director of Fraternity Expansion Dominic K. Greene, Oregon '99, Leadership Consultant Geoffrey K. Hollefreund, Victoria '00, and Undergraduate Director Coady H. Pruett, Cal Poly '02, were on hand to help facilitate the weekend's activities.

Rite I was held at the Tula Community Center on the SDSU campus. To help with the ceremony, colony advisor James S. Corlew '89 served as Examiner and San Diego Alumni Association President David M. Maiolo '91 served as Chief Marshal. Following Rite I, the undergraduates, alumni, and guests hosted a brotherhood cook-out at the colony house to reflect on their accomplishments and to discuss the goals and vision of the chapter going into the 21st Century.

With the beautiful backdrop of San Diego behind them, the brotherhood assembled for Rite II and the formal re-instatement ceremonies in the Aztec Center's Casa Real room in front of over 100 DU alumni, family members, and guests. Serving in the role of Master was Scott A. W. Johnson, Washington '80, Chairman of the DU Board of Directors. Original founding fathers of the

After the oath of initiation, Brother Johnson formally installed the new executive officers of the chapter, and presented the charter to Chapter President Michael S. Gunther '02. Brother Gunther thanked the alumni, Fraternity officials, and his fellow brothers for their hard work and dedication in returning Delta Upsilon to San Diego State's campus.

Following Rite II, the new Delta Upsilon brothers, alumni, family, university administrators, and friends watched as Brother Johnson presented the DU Chapter flag to the chapter's executive officers during the formal flag raising ceremony. SDSU Greek Advisor Douglas N. Case is very impressed with the new chapter. "The San Diego DUs are committed to the ideals of the Fraternity, and they're a high quality group of men," Case said.

The weekend concluded with a formal reception at the historic Alfred Haines House in downtown San Diego.

The reception included opportunities to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of individual alumni and the undergraduate officers who contributed to the new chapter's success.

Significant planning, work, and enthusiasm went into this resurgence of the Delta Upsilon Chapter on the San Diego State University campus. Letters of congratulation may be forwarded to: Michael Gunther, President San Diego Chapter 5545 Hardy Avenue San Diego, CA 92115

UNDERGRADUATE NEWS NE OF DELTA UPSILON'S MOST NOTABLE and inspiring members is the late Linus Pauling, Or~g.on ~tat.e '22. His achievements and recognition In fields of science have awed the world. In 1954, he was honored with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his basic research of chemical bonds and the structure of complex substances.

He was similarly honored with dozens of awards from the world's most prestigious scientific bodies about the perils involved in the use and production of nuclear weapons.

After World War II, a partial ban on nuclear weapons testing was achieved, and he was credited for raising and pressing the issue to this resolution.

Again, the Nobel committee took notice, and Brother Pauling was presented with the Nobel Peace Prize for 1962. Brother Pauling is the only man in history to win two Nobel Prizes. Amazingly, he was the third DU to win the Nobel Peace Prize; Charles G. Dawes, Marietta 1884, and Lester Pearson, Toronto 1919, were the others.

One of the studies for which Dr. Pauling was in the spotlight for years concerned the use of Vitamin C. His book How to Live Longer and Feel Better was favorite reading for many, along with Vitamin C, the Common

O

State Chapter and at that time decided to make a gift of his DU badges to the chapter. The collection of pins donated consisted of Brother Pauling's Delta Upsilon membership badge, his Gamma Tau Beta badge, and a Delta Upsilon sweetheart pendant worn by his wife Ava. In a ceremony on October 9,2000, the Oregon State Chapter honored Brother Pauling by donating his Fraternity pins to the Oregon State University Valley Library's Special Collections. The pins will be displayed in a special collection honoring Brother Pauling and his wife in the campus library.

The ceremony was conducted by Chapter President Marcus P. Ruhnke '01 and was coordinated by VP-Public Relations Eric D. Lindberg '01. There were many brothers in attendance, including undergraduates and alumni from Oregon State. Also in attendance were University President Paul Risser and OSU Greek Life Coordinator Bob Kerr. Both guests spoke during the event.

Oregon State Chapter Honors

Linus Pauling Delta Upsilon and the world felt its loss when Brother Pauling died in 1994. His dedication to science and his example of activism continue to inspire us yet today.

Cold, and the Flu.

Brother Pauling received over 40 honorary degrees from colleges and universities in the United States and abroad, but counted among his highest honors the DU Distinguished Alumnus Award which he received in 1988.

Brother Pauling was not just a founding member of the Oregon State Chapter; he actually wrote the petition so that his local fraternity, Gamma Tau Beta, could become a chapter of Delta Upsilon.

In January 1982, Dr. Pauling returned to the chapter to help celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Oregon 8

ALUMNI NEWS JANUARY 8, 2001 , Baltimore, Maryland - The Walters Art Museum announced that Edwin D. Crane, Arkansas '76, had been named Director of Development just months before the Baltimore museum's October 2001 Grand Reopening. As Director of Development, Brother Crane will maintain and increase the museum's already successful fundraising efforts through E. Crane annual and capital campaigns, corporate and foundation giving, membership campaigns, defened and planned gifts, and direct-mail campaigns.

There, he headed two fundraising feasibility studies, coordinated an $18-million Commitment to Fam.ilies endowment campaign chaired by former President and Mrs. George Bush, and led the $16million Building for Adoption: A New Home for Gladney campus relocation project.

Brother Crane also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation.

IN JANUARY OF 2000, John R. Eyler, Jr., Washington '69, stepped into the CEO position at Toys 'R' Us knowing that the task before him would be all-consuming. Formerly the President and CEO of FAO Schwarz, Brother Eyler was no stranger to the high-pressure competition in the toy industry with "hot" toys frequently taking everyone by surprise especially parents.

Brother Eyler states his top priorities as improving selection and service levels, even making shopping at Toys 'R" Us fun again.The toy company's flagship store, to open in the fall of 2001 at 44th & Broadway in New York's Times Square, is now under renovation and promises to bring fun to toy shopping.

Brother Eyler is wellequipped to tackle the task before him. With a BS in Finance from the University of Washington in 1969 and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1971, a talent for motivating people, and an imaginative approach to an industry that thrives on imagination, he is sure to raise the bar in a very J. Eyler competitive field.

DU Volunteer of the Quarter

William L. Messick, Lafayette '68 President, Messick Building Group, Inc. Lafayette Chapter Alumni President 28 years as a DU volunteer

VOLUNTEER INVOLVEMENT in DU is a rewarding experience. To recognize the dedication of our DU volunteers, the Quarterly will honor a Volunteer of the Quarter in this and subsequent issues of the DU Quarterly . Our first honoree in the series is Bill Messick, Lafayette '68.

Brother Bill Messick's dedication to Delta Upsilon has gone undeterred since his graduation from Lafayette College in 1968. During his years on the Easton, PA, campus Bill was involved in varsity sports, served on the student council in 1966, and was elected chapter president in 1967. Brother Messick is just as active in DU today as he was as an undergraduate.

Brother Messick currently serves as the Alumni President for the Lafayette Chapter, and has shown inspirational leadership in his involvement with the brothers of the undergraduate and alumni chapters .

Even while running his own business and steering the alumni chapter, Brother Messick takes time out of his busy schedule to dedicate personal interaction with the Lafayette Chapter as an advisor, and he has organized and led retreats with the undergraduate chapter. He helped create mentor relationships between local alumni and undergraduate officers . These relationships allow for a deeper understanding of each leader's progress, and at the same time, give an overall view of chapter operations for the alumni chapter.

Brother Messick maintains that his reason for giving back to DU is simple, "I enjoy staying in touch with the younger people and their ideas. The interaction with them, as well as re-living the rewarding experience that I received in DU is immeasurable." Brother Messick's vision for DU and the Lafayette Chapter? "I'd like to see the dependence on and interest in alcohol as a part of the fraternity experience diminished, then re-emphasize the positive reasons for joining a fraternity and the rewards that you can receive from membership." Brother Messick is truly an involved volunteer and is an integral part of Delta Upsilon 's mission to Build Better Mel/.

John T. Desko, Syracuse '79

-

JOHN DESKO COMPLETED HIS SECOND SEASON as the men's lacrosse coach at Syracuse University in grand fas hion - his team won the 2000 NCAA Championship on May 29, defeating Princeton. Brother Desko went to Syracuse University in 1976 and played lacrosse all four years. In 1980 he became an assistant coach at Syracuse, a position he kept until 1999. During those years, the Orangemen's post-season results were two years in the NCAA Lacrosse Playoffs, another 10 years in the NCAA Final Four, and six years as NCAA Champions.

In 1999 Coach Desko became the head coach in lacrosse at SU and onl y the third head coach in Division I history to reach the NCAA title game in just his firs t year at the helm. His spectacular success after only two seasons as head coach has led Desko to opportunities outside of Syracuse. On June 10, 2000, he served as a coach for the north team in the annual North/South Senior AllState lacrosse game at Delaware. Brother Desko is also a member of the NCAA Lacrosse Committee, an oversight committee that regulates rules, championships, and other issues pertinent to collegiate lacrosse.

William H. Avery, Kansas'34 ON JULY 6, 2000, the 106th Congress enacted Public Law 1067-237 designating the Wakefield, Kansas, United States Post Office as the William H. Avery Post Office. The re-naming ceremony took place on September 29,2000.

Brother Avery served 10 years as a member of the U.S . Ho use of Representatives on behalf of the Second Congressional District of Kansas. While in the House, he served on the Committee on Veteran Affairs, the Interstate & Foreign Commerce Conunittee, and the Rules Conunittee. After leaving Congress, he served as Governor of Kansas fro m 1965 to 1967. The photo above was taken during that period. During the Ford Ad ministration, Governor Avery was associated with the Department of Interior on several different assignments.

Some years ago, the Kansas State Legislature named a state highway passing through Wakefield for Brother Avery. Of both of these honors, Governor Avery, now 89 , writes, "This does not indicate that I contributed any special influence on the respective members, only that I had earned their respect. To one who has served in an elected office, that is the most important tribute that can be earned.'"

Roger L. Connor,

Chicago '23 1898-1996 IN THE FALL OF 2000, David Frey, Ohio '61, sent the Quarterly an article from Ohio Today, the Ohio University alumni magazine.

This article announced the gift of S1 million to establish the Connor-Study Chair in Contemporary History in the College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio University. The generous gift was made by Pat Connor-Study, the daughter of Roger and Edna Connor, as "a way of paying my respects to my parents."

Roger l. Connor was born November 24, 1898 in Ogden, Utah. He pledged the Chicago Chapter in 1919 and was initiated there in 1920. The April 1922 Quarterly reported that Brother Connor was a traveling salesman for Automatic Electric Mfg. Co. and living in Detroit. In 1927 he joined the McBee Co. as Assistant to the Sales Manager, assuming the position as Sales Manager in 1930. It was during his tenure as Sales Manager that McBee acquired the American rights to Keysort and turned its sales efforts toward systems selling. Brother Connor was named Vice President of the McBee Co. in 1947 and served as a member of the firm's board of directors until the company merged with Royal Typewriter in 1954 to become Royal McBee. He became Vice President of Public Relations in 1956 and retired from Royal McBee in 1959.

He moved to Athens, Ohio in 1927, and from that locale we have David Frey's insights of Brother Connor.

"Brother Roger Connor was a distinguished member of our Fraternity, being very instrumental in the colonization as well as the growth and development of the Ohio Chapter in the 1950s and 1960s.

"Not only was Roger a loyal and sagacious advisor to the chapter, he also became an inspirational mentor to several chapter members, including myself. Had it not been for Roger's attention to and prodding of me, I'm sure I would have never attempted to enroll in law school after having been retired from the Marine Corps. Paradoxically, since 1975, I've owned and lived in a home in Athens which Roger and his wife Edna built in the early 1930s.

"Among his many other accomplishments, he encouraged his employer, Royal McBee, to import keypunch technology from England where he and Edna had once been stationed. Elements of that technology became part of the binary language upon which computers operate.

"Whenever any of the brothers of my era congregate, we invariably begin to reminisce very fondly about Roger, especially recalling his tremendous influence upon the chapter and how he always tried to encourage us to aspire to loftier purposes and higher standards. Thus, I'm sure that many of the brothers of the Ohio Chapter feel honored that Roger's daughter has made a significant gift to memorialize her parents' many contributions to the university community."

Golf Course Be-named in Honor of Indiana Brother WHILE MANY DUS WERE PREPARING for their Founders' Day celebrations to honor Delta Upsilon's Founding Fathers, an Indiana brother was attending a celebration in his honor on November 3, 2000. Don A. Yeller, Ph.D., Indiana '35, former head football and golf coach for Florida State University, was honored by having the university's Seminole Golf Course re-named the Don Yeller Seminole Golf Course.

Brother Yeller began his tenure at FSU as the university's first fulltime head football coach in 1948 and led the Seminoles to an undefeated season in 1950, the year he earned his doctorate degree. He stepped aside as football coach after the 1952 season to coach the golf team and led that team to its first undefeated season in 1957. Dr. Yeller retired from FSU in 1982. During his long tenure as head golf coach, Brother Yeller tutored future professional golfers including Paul Azinger, Jeff Sluman, and Hubert Green.

A native of Indiana, Brother Yeller was influenced to attend Indiana University as his cousin was playing baseball for IU and was captain of the basketball team. Claron D. Yeller (Lefty) Yeller, Indiana '34, also happened to be a member of a men 's fraternity known as Delta Upsilon. "My cousin Lefty and a friend, Chuck Bennett, convinced me to join DU," said Yeller. Not unlike today's DU initiates, Don joined because of the quality of men that he saw in the chapter, and was

Iowa Chapter to Celebrate 75th Anniversary THE WEEKEND OF APRIL 21, 2000, the Iowa Chapter will celebrate its 75th anniversary. The 2nd annual Alumni Golf Tournament will take place on April 21, followed by a celebration banquet. All DU alunmi are invited to attend. For more information, please contact Brad Powell '02 bye-mail at BFPowell@aol.com or phone 319.354.0220 ext. 117.

greatly attracted by their openness and philosophy of nonsecrecy.

Dr. Yeller said that Delta Upsilon had a great impact on his self discipline and work ethic. Besides his involvement in other campus organizations, there were classes to attend, followed by football practices, and then it was on to work, waiting tables at the DU chapter house. "I waited tables at the DU house for three years, then served as chapter treasurer my senior year," Yeller said. DU also had another major impact on Yeller. It was at the DU house that he met his wife of 64 years, Frances. Don recalled, "She was the housemother at the time, and the only housemother DU ever had. We actually lived in the chapter house for a little while."

Yeller's resume reads like a book. Notable among his numerous accomplishments is that he is a member of six different Halls of Fame, including the State of Florida Sports Hall of Fame where he was inducted at the same time as golf legend Arnold Palmer.

Besides his career as a coach, Brother Yeller has had a second career as a writer. Since the early-1950's a number of his articles have been published in Golf Digest and other publications. Since 1960 he has written a weekly golf column for the Tallahassee Democrat, missing only one column in 40 years. But the weekly colunm isn't the only thing that keeps him busy these days. In fact, just recently his newest book hit the bookstores. Fluffs, Muffs, alld Really Deep Rough: A Lifetime Collection of One Man's Great and Goofy Golf Poetry (TowleHouse Publishing, 2000) is a compilation of hundreds of Veller's best and funniest golf poems and limericks that he has penned over the last five decades.

Now 88, Dr. Yeller keeps very active in his retirement.

He has his weekly commitment to his golf colunm and frequently attends FSU sporting events.

He is indeed a brother of whom Delta Upsilon can be proud. Through all of his many accomplishments, he still maintains a fondness for DU. "Truthfully, I am a great believer and supporter of Delta Upsilon, and cherish my experiences and the life-long influence of DU," said Brother Yeller.

Noted Jurist and Long-time Fraternity Leader Receives Delta Upsilon's Distinguished Alumnus Award A MOST APPROPRIATE and exciting culmination of the 2001 Winter Educational Conference held in Chicago in January was when Delta Upsilon's highest alumni honor was bestowed upon the Honorable Terry L. Bullock, Kansas State '61.

Brother Bullock, known to many as "The Judge," has long been a highly visible and dynamic advocate of the Fraternity, and very much involved with the encouragement and guidance of DU's undergraduate members.

Over 40 years have passed since the Judge was initiated into Delta Upsilon and served as vice president and then president of the Kansas State Chapter.

Already at that time he was a supporter of the fraternity system in general and Delta Upsilon in particular. He graduated from Kansas State University cum laude in 1961 and went on to the University of Kansas where he received his Juris Doctor degree with distinction.

As a young alumnus, Brother Bullock was a much sought after speaker at undergraduate functions and delivered many keynote addresses such as that to the 1968 Undergraduate Convention and the Assembly of Trustees in 1969.

With his election to Delta Upsilon's Board of Directors in 1969, he found his schedule even more fIlled with speaking engagements at Fraternity functions. Committee chairmanships, too, claimed his attention as he chaired the Undergraduate Activities Committee for 10 years, plus leading DU's Chapter Loan Fund Committee and the Committee on the Future of the Fraternity.

Brother Bullock served on the DU Educational Foundation's Board of Trustees for over 12 years. In 1983 he was elected President of the Fraternity and served five one-year terms.

His professional career has been no less stellar, beginning with his DU Distinguished Alumni appointment as District Judge for the Third Judicial District of the State of Kansas Achievement in 1976. In this regard he presides over trials of both civil and crinlinal cases in the Award Recipients state trial court of original and general jurisdiction and by special appointment serves frequently as appellate judge for the Kansas Court of Appeals and the 1984: Robert C. Gimlin, Purdue '42, Terry Hart, Lehigh '68, Frederick H. Houck, Tufts Kansas Supreme Court, assisting with the caseload in those courts.

'62, Robert C. Hough, Indiana '48, Beurt R. Judge Bullock also teaches legaiethics at the law schools of the University of SerVaas, Indiana '4 1, Brewster H. Show, Kansas and Washburn University.

was opened to recruitment officers for all DU chapters, colonies, and interest groups.

A new component added to the conference this year was the DUEL program which was unveiled at the 2000 Leadership Institute. DUEL provides our newest DU brothers an opportunity to learn leadership skills and philosophies through interactive activities and discussions. The handson, interactive learning program enables the men to learn from each other and their personal experiences.

Activities and discussions allow each brother to explore various leadership philosophies and skills.

SINCE THE FIRST PRESIDENTS ACADEMY in 1995, Delta Upsilon's winter meeting has grown and evolved to become the Winter Educational Conference.

The 2001 meeting, held January 5-7 at the Midland Hotel in Chicago, had four separate educational tracks. Programming designed specifically for chapter presidents constituted the curriculum for the Presidents Academy.

Two years ago, the Recruitment Symposium was added to the curriculum with a targeted number of participants. Last year the number of chapter recruitment officers attending expanded the enrollment, and in 200 1 the Symposium

Tom Durein, Oregon State '92, facilitated sessions on Friday morning outlining recruitment and marketing techniques.

The Conference's educational programming would not have been possible without the energetic involvement of many alumni volunteers who served as faculty. Making the wintry trek to Chicago just to help facilitate these sessions were Judge Terry L. Bullock,

Enthusiasm was high and brotherhood very much in evidence as these DUs prepared to spend the weekend learning and sharing.

"No one shows up for meetings."

"Why do I end up doing all the work?"

"How do I get brothers excited about a project?"

One of the most common questions chapter leaders ask is "How do you motivate people?" They want a quick and easy solution that will work in all situations. Unfortunately, such quick-fix solutions do not exist.

"There is no simple formula for motivation - you must keep an open viewpoint on human nature," according to Donald R. Clark, editor of The Art and Science of Leadership. "Knowing that different people react to different needs will guide your decisions and actions in certain situations ."

Motivation is internal and different from person to person . Therefore, there is not one specific way to motivate others. No matter how hard you try, if someone does not have the motivation within himself, you cannot supply it.

Motivation is the desire to do something . Motivation can either be present and active or present and dormant. Motivating others is really just tapping into what motivates a particular person . Within each person, lies the potential for motivation .

When motivation is present and active, a brother is actively motivated to do something. The activity or project fulfills one of his personal desires . When motivation is present and dormant, a brother may not be active or participate in a specific activity. He may not be aware how the activity or project has the potential to fulfill one of his personal motivations.

We can't control a brother's motivation, but we CAN bring awareness to the internal desires that motivate him. You can't "reach" a brother if you don't know what he cares about and what he wants. By making him aware of his goals and potential personal benefits, we can encourage him to become active to do something . That's really what is behind motivating brothers: awareness and encouragement.

Determine what personally motivates a brother, and then communicate how the project or activity will meet and fulfill these motivations. You can communicate these advantages in words, or - more effectively - by example. Show him through personal examples and results how this activity will fulfill his desires. By using the appropriate motivations, you can get a brother's buy-in and commitment. Only when a brother's personal motivations are active, will he fully participate and demonstrate a commitment to a project or activity.

Tips on Motivation Adapted from The Art and Science of Leadership As a leader, you have the power to influence motivation. The following guidelines form the basic view of motivation . They will help you in your decision-making process.

• Allow the needs of your brothers to coincide with the needs of your organization . A chapter needs good men in a wide variety of jobs. Ensure that the brothers are trained, encouraged, and provided the opportunity to advance. Ensure that the way you conduct business has the same values, morals, and ethic principles you claim to represent.

• Reward good behavior. A certificate, letter, or a thank you may seem small, but they can be powerful motivators.

Recognition should be specific and prompt. Cite the specific action that made you believe someone did a good job.

• Set the example. You must be the role model into which you want your brothers to grow.

• Develop morale. Morale is the mental, emotional, and spiritual state of a person . Almost everything you do will have some impact on the morale of your organization . You should always be aware of how your actions and decisions will affect morale.

• Develop team spirit. Team spirit is the collective spirit or soul of the organization . It is the part of the organization that your brothers feel a part of and with which they identify. Is your chapter a place from which people cannot wait to get away, or is it a place that people enjoy spending their lives?

• let your brothers be a part of the planning and problem solving process. Rather than just having the officer team decide the goals and activities for the year, involve the entire chapter.

People who are a part of the decision-making process become

the owners of it. It gives them personal interest in seeing the plan succeed . They are no longer just doers for the organization, but are part of it. It also shows that you trust and appreciate them as leaders.

• look out for your brothers. Don't be a brother's keeper, but be a brother's brother. Although you don't have control over their personal lives, you must show concern for them . You must be able to empathize with them - or see their view of the world as though that view were your own . Empathy differs from sympathy in that sympathy connotes spontaneous emotion, rather than a conscious, reasoned response . Sympathizing with others may be less useful to another person if we are limited by the strong feel ings of the moment.

• Keep them informed. Keep the communication channels open .

Inform the members of the latest news and chapter issues.

• Make their jobs challenging , exciting, and meaningful. Make them feel that they are individuals within a greet team ... not cogs in a lifeless machine. Brothers need meaningful work, even if it is tiring and unpleasant. They need to know that their work is important and necessary for the survival of the organization .

• Counsel brothers who behave in a way counter to the organization's goals. All the guidelines prior to this took a positive approach . But, sometimes this does not always work.

You must let brothers know when they are not performing to acceptable standards. By the same token, you must protect them when needed. For example, if a brother does not practice good study habits and has suffering grades, you must take action . On the other hand, if you have a brother who is receiving straight "A"s, and yet you never see him crack a book, then do the right thing and avoid the bureaucracy!
