ETA CHAPTER NEWS

President Tatum Installed College Park, Maryland - In yet another display of democracy in action and the peaceful transfer of power, the Eta Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa installed a new Chapter President on December 9, 2013. Daniel Tatum, a member of the Class of 2015 and a Mechanical Engineering major from Princeton Junction, New Jersey, accepted the gavel and the mantel of leadership from outgoing President John L. P. Wright ‘15. Tatum most recently served the chapter as Vice President, serving with Brother Wright, Eric Phelps ‘14 (Secretary); Eli Bergman ’16 (Treasurer); Alex Raul ’15 (Sentinel) and Yaniv Stern ’14 (Inductor). Previously, Tatum was Recruitment Chair during the Spring of 2013.

He is part of the A. James Clark School of Engineering RISE Leadership Program, is doing research in the Mechanical Combustion Lab, and is a member of Primmanum Honour Society.

The Eta Alumni Association offers sincere thanks to the Brothers who have served this past semester, and is pleased to introduce the members of the Executive Board who will serve with President Tatum during the Spring 2014 Semester: Vice President Steven Brandt ‘15 Secretary Luke Barsotti ‘15 Treasurer Eli Bergman ’16 Sentinel Antonio Lulli ‘15 Inductor Rafael Casellas ‘15 Upon taking office, Tatum told TTD, “"I'm honored to considered a leader by the brothers and elected the next President of Phi Sigma Kappa-Eta. I am sure that I will be able to continue the tradition of excellence that's been placed before me, especially after the successful term of John L.P. Wright. This will be an important year for the Eta Chapter as the brothers have grand plans regarding recruitment, philanthropy, and community service and social; I'm Damn Proud to be President for this period." ” Under the Eta Alumni Association's "Robert G. "Bob" Pemberton, H'58, Rings & Pins Program", Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity pins, donated by Eta

Chapter alumni, are awarded to Chapter members for outstanding performance. Since the initial awards to all Eta Colony officers on March 12, 2011, each incoming Chapter President is presented a pin with guard and the president's gavel dangle.

Each donated pin set is accompanied with a biographical sketch prepared by the alumnus donor of the pin. Since the inception of the program, Joseph E. Criscuoli, President of the Eta Alumni Association, has presided over Phi Sig pin awards.

The pearl pin presented to Brother Tatum was donated by Jerry Tobin, H'52. Brother Tobin, a member of Gate & Key and Mensa, has served as President of the Borough of River Edge, NJ, Council; President of the N.J. State Board of Accountancy; and V.P. Finance of the National Association of State Boards (NASBA).

New pin donations are very much appreciated and are essential to assure the continuation of this chapter leadership honor beyond the next few years.

We look forward to your continued support of this special program. For more information please contact Wayne Bethards, H'59, Rings & Pins Program Coordinator, at waynebethards@comcast.net or 410-730-2173.

An Eta Presidential Farewell Address

by John L. P. Wright ‘15 has been a critical element in the success of the Eta Chapter and through his individual efforts was the dominant reason that Eta won a national award for Outstanding Chapter Operations. If you’d like to see some of Brother Phelps’ work in action, just ask him for a copy of his daily TIPS (also known as “Today In Phi Sig”).

“I have no doubt in my mind that the future is brighter than ever for our chapter on this campus.”

Transitioning from an executive board and chapter composed largely of Founding Fathers was, at first, a fairly daunting task. But that task became easier thanks in large part to the great Executive Boards of the past two semesters of 2013. Vice Presidents Matt Shea and Danny Tatum led the charge in promoting a new sense of organization amongst all our chairmen and demanded performance and results that developed character in many of our Brothers.

This is, perhaps, most evident in our Fundraising, Social, and Brotherhood chairs.

Serving alongside me for both of my semesters as President was Chapter Secretary Eric Phelps. Eric 4

THE ETA ALUMNI E-NEWSLETTER

The all-important Treasurers for Eta during my tenure at the helm, Noah Mandell and Eli Bergman, both performed admirably and helped to hold the line on our chapter budget while providing brothers with many incentives for both accountability and commitment. Brother Bergman will remain in the office of Treasurer, serving his second semester beginning in January.

Brother Steven Lopez and Alex Raul have each improved the chapter in the important areas of ritual performance and risk management while serving as our Chapter Sentinel. Brother Lopez coordinated a fully memorized and heavily rehearsed initiation ritual for the installation of our Chapter at Shippensburg in April.

Last, but never least, our Chapter Inductors have combined to educate and initiate twenty-seven men into the Eta Chapter during 2013. Inductors Austin Carroll and Yaniv Stern both emphasized the importance of character in a Phi Sig man and educated these new members about our history and ideals.

s I leave the Office of President of Eta Chapter, I hope that I leave our chapter in a better place than when I took office.

Being the Chapter President has been a humbling experience, as I strived to do all that I could for the progress of Eta. While the past year has been a great experience for me and a great time for Phi Sig at the University of Maryland, I have no doubt in my mind that the future is brighter than ever for our chapter on this campus. Our newly elected President, Danny Tatum, and an excellent incoming Executive Board will surely continue our progress from semesters past and reach for new horizons in our collective success.

While the chapter members, chairmen. and officers of the executive board have worked tirelessly to improve the status of the Eta Chapter, difficulties still remain for Phi Sig in our continuing effort to be an outstanding fraternity at Maryland. The women are more beautiful than ever, the refreshments are more plentiful than ever and, well, the classes are harder than ever. That is why the next twelve months in the history of Phi Sig is the most pivotal year since our rechartering. Eta will be led by our newly elected executive board featuring President-Elect Danny Tatum (’15), Vice President-Elect Steven Brandt (’15), Secretary-Elect Luke Barsotti (’15), returning Treasurer Eli Bergman (’16), Sentinel-Elect Antonio Lulli (’15) and Inductor-Elect Rafael Casellas (’15). I expect great achievements from this executive board and am confident they will further improve the greatness of the Eta Chapter.

Eta Alumni Association News Bryan Kline ‘89 has a new car.

We really, really have to work harder to convince him to join the alumni association.

We hereby by submit visual, irrefutable and unretouched photographic evidence that the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Eta Alumni Association of Phi Sigma Kappa, Eric Vinson ‘86, has been to the McKeldin Library.

At least once.

This photo also maintains the current streak of Eta Alumni publications in which “The Vin” has appeared.

Patrick McNamara ‘88 writes: “Enjoy Homecoming, my Brothers, I wish I could be there. I was able to attend the FSU vs MD game as my son is at FSU. UGLY GAME! My son is in the FSU Marching Band and, of course, is a huge FSU fan. We are hoping they make it to the National Championship - because he and his band mates will travel for that (as they did for the Clemson game). I will again be supporting the Terps in January for the FSU vs. MD hoops game. Let’s hope it is better than last year (and this year’s football game).

Go Terps!

Theresa, my wife, and I enjoyed a two week honeymoon in Hawaii. It was an adventure packed trip which included plenty of hiking, kayaking and surfing. One of our favorite memories was watching the sunset atop Mauna Kea, elevation 13,796’.

Theresa and I currently live in Baltimore, MD where I enthusiastically root for the Terps Basketball and Football teams.

My days are occupied overseeing the Business Development department for CARCHEX, the premier provider of Extended Auto Warranties and PrePurchase Vehicle Inspections.”

Christopher (“Mayday”) Malone ‘86 writes: “I'm pleased to report that my first book was published last month

MEMORIES OF NOVEMBER 22, 1963 On November 21, 2013, several Brothers of the Eta Chapter exchanged e-mail messages, recalling where they were and what they felt on the day of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

What follows, with minimal editing for style, are those messages, published with the permission of the authors.

- J. Criscuoli ‘82

H

aving just graduated from the University of Maryland and with my shiny new degree: Bachelor of Arts, Sociology, I had joined the United State Navy Reserve, to serve my country and "see the world" as a Navy officer. What happened was difficult for me to accept at the time but I was not able to graduate from Navy Officer Candidate School in Newport, RI since I never quite got the required scores in navigation. I was assigned duty aboard a cable layer out of Little Creek, Va. We did play a part in laying sound detection equipment in the Atlantic off Bermuda where I learned about rum and steel drums.

While stationed in Little Creek, VA, and on liberty, I was on a date with an Admiral's daughter (pretty good move). We had gone to Williamsburg for the day by bus and as we walked toward our return bus, we heard the horrible news of Kennedy's assassination. How could this possibly have happened? It quickly collapsed the joy of young infatuation we had just experienced and we sat hand in hand in shock all the way back to Norfolk--her to her home and me to my Navy base.

I had that weekend off since my ship was in port and took another bus home to be with my parents.

We all sat in a suspended type of time warp and watched the story play out on TV along with millions of people around the world. It was if every20

THE ETA ALUMNI E-NEWSLETTER

thing else in my world had paused, and our minds and hearts tried in vain to change what we had just witnessed. But it was not to be. President John F. Kennedy was dead and our lives would never be the same.

For me, personally, having been in boot camp in October of 1962, when President Kennedy managed the Cuba Conflict so brilliantly, and I had watched, so fearful that I and my mates would be sent to the scene of conflict as "cannon fodder", his death was the death of my "personal" Commander and Chief.

I cried and missed his steady hand in charge of all of us.

Beyond the day itself I, and others, moved ahead slowly into our individual and collective futures.

But, perhaps on that day, part of me--the essential me--always optimistic--paused and re-calculated my next moves in life a little more soberly, reflectively, and with just a bit less optimism. But our collective soul lived on and perhaps grew stronger! Serving a shorter period as an enlisted man was a blessing in disguise because I then went into social services which fitted my God given abilities and I am still involved in volunteering in a community social service agency in my retirement.

- Terry Hughes Chapman ‘62

“The whole country was groaning, "Why, Why, Why?" I too was living in the house. I heard about the shooting when I was walking back from class. I was on the on the path that connected the chapel to the row. A girl came running up towards the campus and said, with tears in her eyes, "They just shot the President!" I picked up the pace and watched the TV coverage in the house. It seems to me that the University closed down early for Thanksgiving. So I went home to Baltimore to grieve with my family and friends. The country was in shock and glued to the TV. It was similar to 9/11 but different. At 9/11 we could react in anger and respond in patriotism.

Upon Kennedy's death there was a profound feeling of bewilderment. The whole country was groaning, "Why, Why, Why?" I agree the country has never been the same. We seemed to have left an age of unbounded post-war optimism and entered a dark age of pessimistic cynicism that still remains like a pall on Kennedy’s beloved country. Oswald stole more than the life of our President he stole our national soul.

- J. Robert Manuel, III ’65

I became eligible to vote in 1960, and that privilege gained importance when Kennedy won the West Virginia primary, which caused people to believe that a Catholic could be nominated and perhaps be elected to the Presidency. Needless to say I voted for him. In January of 1962, at the first anniversary of his inauguration I was an usher for the guests in the President's box at the gala in the D.C. Armory.

Like Lance Billingsley, I was then in law school, a night student at Georgetown, and when Kennedy was killed I was working in a law firm in the Hill Building at 17th & I Streets in the District, and my memory is clear of watching the funeral procession go past the building on the way to St. Matthew's Cathedral, where I was married two years later.

- David T. Ryan ‘61

I was in the "rack" resting up for a GIGIF in D.C. when I was awakened by a commotion and told there had been shots fired at the presidential motor-

cade in Dallas, that the President had been hit and then a short time later heard on the radio that he was dead. My first thought was that it was a result of Robert Kennedy's aggressive support of the civil rights movement. As I recall it, it seemed like the whole house ended up in the TV room watching the black and white TV. Later, a number of us went to the GIGIF, found that it has been cancelled, and I bought an "Extra" edition of The Washington Post and The Washington Star, both of which had a large picture with the headline "Kennedy Slain in Dallas" or words to that effect. I still have those newspapers in storage today. I spent a lot of the next three days in the TV room, saw Oswald shot, etc.

I liked JFK a lot, probably as much as I could like any President at that stage of my life - the difference between Jack, Jackie, and their children compared to Eisenhower and Mamie Doud when viewed through my 21 year old eyes was complete. I would like to think that the rest of the 60's would have turned out differently/better but I don't think we can really know. By being murdered at that stage of his presidency, we think the best of JFK. In our minds he will be forever young, free of scandal and/or disappointment. At that time he still represented hope and change from what I thought of as the dreary Eisenhower administration. I of course was too young to know what Eisenhower meant to my parents' generation - D Day, World War II, VE Day, the end of Nazi Germany, etc. Many of our Brothers went to D.C. on Sunday night and wait in line while Kennedy lay in State. In retrospect, I wish I had.

- Ronald G. Rayne, Esq. ’64

I was a recently married sophomore in Law School on that particular November Day. I was returning from class, and climbed up the stairs to my apartment accompanied by the blare of my downstairs neighbor’s TV (he was very hard of hearing), and I heard the words “...the President has been shot”. I rushed into my apartment, and turned on the TV. I watched assassination coverage continuously until Monday morning, with limited late night sleep breaks. Like most of America I was devastated, but THE ETA ALUMNI E-NEWSLETTER

21

“...every bit the inspiration in ‘Profiles in Courage’ ” my devastation was also a personal one.

As a Sophomore at Maryland, I was very active in Student Government and also worked at the Student News Bureau. During the Fall, I received a call from my boss asking if I’d mind giving a U.S. Senator a tour of our campus before a talk he was going to give. In my day campus tours were the providence of the Orientation Committee, but when my boss said do, I did. Of course, the Senator was John F. Kennedy, and by the end of the tour, I was a guaranteed vote (although I was too young to vote and would never get a chance to vote for him). In person John Kennedy was every bit the inspiration he wrote about in Profiles in Courage, and he was one of the people who inspired me to devote a good deal of my life to public service.

My involvement in politics and public service caused me to cross paths with various members of the Kennedy Family over the years, but President Kennedy was always my ideal and one of my guiding lights. When I returned to Washington for the first time after his death, my first stop was to pay my respects at “The Eternal Flame”. Like that Flame, his vision will go on and on.

- Lance W. Billingsley ‘61

did not ever live in the house, I worked all the time at Safeway to pay our dues. In fact, I am not in the ’64 composite for precisely that reason as I was working that day. I had just left class, probably walked from the building just down from the old bookstore and the “U”, then found my car (in that sea of cars), and was sitting at the light at Campus Drive and University Blvd (out by University College) in my old ‘50 Chevy. Oddly, the radio worked and I heard the news. I have no real memory of the specific words or the time when I heard them nor any memory after that except that days later I was on Constitution Avenue to watch the casket roll by and the riderless horse, etc. Indeed, we lost an inspirational leader, one who was right for the times; one who was also such an inspiration to those who went on to do good things in so many areas of international and domestic life.

- James D. Calder ‘65

Like Lance Billingsley and Dave Ryan, I was in law school when JFK was assassinated. I remember the events of that day like it was yesterday. I was at work at a D.C. law firm when the news came in. I was stunned and wanted to go home to follow events. My boss was not a Kennedy supporter, however, so we kept on working and catching up on events as we could. Several days later while getting ready to go with my father to view the casket, I was watching Oswald being escorted to transportation to court when Jack Ruby stepped out of the assembled crowd and shot him. I was not old enough to vote in 1960 but would have voted for Kennedy if I had been. I admired him greatly. The sixties were tough all around.

- Phillip A. Cole ‘61

My thoughts, albeit somewhat clouded by the years, reflect that Tom Allder and I were driving back to campus from being in the District. Neither of us could believe the radio in the car so we stopped at an establishment on Rhode Island Ave. to watch the same reporters (Walter Cronkite, I believe was one) give us bits and pieces of the news. We stayed in the bar until we heard the results everyone was dreading, but probably everyone was expecting, that Kennedy was dead. We continued our journey to campus and never uttered a word to each other. I visit Arlington Cemetery at least twice a year to see my Father who is buried there - and I try to go by the Eternal Flame as often as I can. It is such a peaceful place and helps bring me back to just being at peace with myself, even if it is for only one hour.

- Thomas W. Arata ‘65

I, too, was living at #7 Fraternity Row that day. It was my (1st) junior year and I heard the news while walking in front of McKeldin Library (that was about as close as I came on a regular basis to that august institution). I ducked into a classroom building just to the west of the Mall, went into a class

I was a pledge (associate member) at that point and

room which had a TV, and watched the coverage for

THE ETA ALUMNI E-NEWSLETTER

“Like that Flame, his vision will go on and on.” an hour or two with a group of people I didn’t know, before going back to #7.

When Kennedy was lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda, I went with a fairly large group of people, mostly Phi Sigs to stand in line all night long just to file past the casket. It was a very moving experience standing in line with tens of thousands of people just to pay our respects.

I watched the funeral in the tube room at #7 with lots of brothers. It was extremely emotional with a group of guys who were not normally that emotional. I think all of us cried that day whether or not we had voted for, or supported, JFK. - Joseph E. Boiseau ‘65

I was a Forestry major at Penn State (after having transferred to Happy Valley from Maryland), and about to take a final exam (Penn State was on a quarter system) when I heard that Kennedy had been shot. When I arrived in the classroom, we heard that he had just died. Right after this, the professor walked in and passed out the exam (he was oblivious on what was going on).

When I walked out of there after taking the exam, I couldn't remember a single question – somehow, I passed. By the way, November 22nd is my birthday. I didn't celebrate on that day fifty years ago.

- William F. Funk ‘63

I suspect most of us can remember sudden celebrity deaths, certainly the Kennedy brothers, King, Presley, Lennon, Lady Di, etc. But none was more vivid than JFK. I was a Marine Second Lieutenant commanding a 105mm artillery battery in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. A day earlier, several marine pilots were flying over to Montego Bay, Jamaica for quick R&R, and two of us talked the captain into a weekend pass. We were walking the beach, checking out the lovely scenes, drinking Cerveza's, when we came upon a group huddled around a radio. One local yelled out to us "your President is dead". In

classic Marine form, we confronted him for his disrespect. Cooler heads prevailed and it was confirmed our President had been assassinated in Dallas. What was amazing was the love the Jamaicans had for JFK. Several of them wanted to form a militia and descend on Dallas to ensure justice.

The senior Marine pilot informed us we were to return immediately to Guantanamo. And then the copter I was on crashed into the Gulf and, by good fortune, we were able to jettison the fuel pods and land back on the beach. No one was hurt but it surely was a day of multiple memories.

- William B. Binch ‘62

I turned 21 in August 1960, so I was eligible to vote in the 1960 election. I really wanted to vote for Senator Kennedy but, unlike today, you could only vote absentee if you could prove that you were out of state, and I could not find a way to get to Cumberland to vote. After he won, I assumed that I would be able to vote for him in 1964.

Kay, my wife, had graduated in June 1963 and I got my master's in August (while living in the fraternity house waiting for her to graduate). We were married in August 1963 and we both went to our first fulltime jobs in early September. We were filled with excitement and optimism as we began our adult lives. I was working for a small research company out in the country, close to where Columbia is now, on November 22. I can't remember if we all went home or sat around listening to the news until quitting time. Kay was pregnant and having morning sickness, so we just watched the funeral on television. I do remember Cy Childs coming down from Baltimore and stopping at our apartment either on his way to or from going downtown. We just shared our shock and sadness.

Today's e-mails are almost all from guys that were still in school or just out in 1963. We were all young and optimistic about our futures. President Kennedy was young, inspiring ("Ask what you can do for your country!") and optimistic ("We're going to the MOON!!") His murder was a blow to our optimism THE ETA ALUMNI E-NEWSLETTER

23

“...my feelings, after all this time, are still pretty raw.” just as we were becoming adults. I think that may be why it still affects us today; why so many of us have written today.

Now some thoughts from the last few years. When Hurricane Katrina washed away our house on the Mississippi Coast, we evacuated to Fort Worth because our older son lives there. We stayed for six years until we moved back to near New Orleans two years ago. (The Mississippi Coast is still in terrible shape.) While living in Fort Worth, we went to Dallas a number of times. We have driven around Dealey Plaza because it's one of the ways to get from downtown Dallas to the interstate. It still looks the same as it did in the photos from 50 years ago.

Every time that we have driven through we have seen tourists in the plaza and on the grassy knoll.

We never went to the Book Depository Museum. I didn't want to. I have no need to relive that day.

After living in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex for six years, the only significant historical event that I could find that happened in Dallas was the assassination. We were lucky to grow up in Maryland, where historical events had happened all around us and DC was just down the road.

- Dr. Richard H. Love ‘61

I was at work in the Air Force at Stewart Air Force in Newburgh, N.Y. awaiting reassignment to Goose Bay, Labrador. The office went totally silent when we received word that President Kennedy had been shot and had died. Everyone remained silent for several minutes, after which we all left to be with our loved ones. Fran, my wife, and I watched the TV all weekend while caring for our beautiful, loving, six month old daughter, Barb - wondering what the world was going to be for her in her future.

- John L. Towers ‘62

THE ETA ALUMNI E-NEWSLETTER

I was on my first official trip as a fed. We were having a late lunch and became aware of the cluster of people around a TV. We joined the crowd in time to see (and hear) Walter Cronkite report that Kennedy was dead. I watched all of the ceremonies from my Alexandria apartment. My only regret was not watching the funeral procession to Arlington in person. I don't think there has been any similar event to which so many world leaders attended. They made up the first row of the procession and included Charles de Gaulle (Le Grande Charles). But, I could not watch any of the coverage of the 50th anniversary; my feelings after all this time are still pretty raw. I think that, between both Kennedy's assassinations and the Viet Nam war, our generation left the Age of Innocence and became pretty cynical about life. I know that, since then, I didn't think any one person could make a difference and that the so-called "best and brightest" were neither. But, as a generation, we still did good things. The accomplishments of all of you are demonstrative of that.
