The Beta Theta Pi - Winter 1983

A Matter of Manners

"Manners maketh man" is carved in a stone arch over a gateway to the quad of an English college.

Behavior is the way one acts, covertly or openly. Behavior moves from the uncivilized to the civilized. It goes from gauche to refined and from degrading to elevating Fraternities and sororities possess Greek letter names, rituals, ideals, chapter houses, officers and funds. Beyond these, and much more fraternities and sororities possess, they are totally dependent on manners and behavior. All the past glorious history, all the members of achievement, all the "country club chapter houses," all the income and funds can be negated by crude manners and bestial behavior.

Every fraternity and sorority in their ritual, bylaws, name, purpose have only that which is to elevate, inspire and hold up for acceptance the loftiest ideals and examples of courtesy, manners, civility and decent behavior.

When disgrace comes, the fault is not with the structure, ideals and teachings fraternities and sororities have. The fault is with individuals who have no manners and behave like clowns.

There is no excuse for a chapter having no manners. How far from the ideals of foun· ders are littered houses, sloppy dress, men eating with hats on and no greeting or welcome to former chapter members and guests.

Nothing in the idea and ideals of fraternities and sororities is in line with, compatible to, or related to drunken brawls, anniversaries, special events, initiations and weekends that are Roman orgies.

It is not easy to say and write these things One must remember college students today are in one of the most lush, extravagant surrounds on earth. One must remember fraternity and sorority officers are going all out to uphold the ancient good names of their association.

Let us be unafraid to say that the ill-mannered and misbehaved should find their com- ' panions elsewhere and be a therapeutic in getting out of a chapter.

Financing, bigness, carelessness get in the way of selecting members. "We're the best house on campus" is often 1982 Rah Rah stuff. When, as an undergraduate said, "Manners · have gone out of style ," the vacuum is filled by crude, cheap and often vulgar behavior.

There was a man of whom it was said, "He is well-groomed within and without."

One may have all the intellectual grooming in the world but without grooming in gentle manners and exacting behavior, he or she is not the person founders of fraternities and so.. rarities believed their brotherhood and sisterhood would inspire.

There is supreme wisdom in the words of Orwell who said, "If men would behave de· cently, the world would be decent."

The Beta Theta Pi

The Official Magazine of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity

The first college fraternity magazine, founded December 15, 1872, by Charles Duy Walker, V.M.I. 1869, and published continuously since

Winter Issue 1983

The Beta Theta Pi, (USPS 052-000) official magazine of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity , an organization of college men now in its 144th year, is owned by the fraternity, edited and published under the direction and control of its Board of Trustees Issued Fall, Convention Issue, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Second-class postage paid at Oxford , Ohio , and at additional mailing offices Publication office at 208 East High St. ,

Very much in the n ews this past November was a third-generation Beta, Joseph P Allen IV , DePauw '59 , one of the four astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia A "mi ssion specialist" from the scientific field , his major assignment was launching a commercial communications satellite Joe was th e second Beta to be i n orbit - the first being Paul J. Weitz, Penn State '54, who was in Skylab 2 - and by the time this is read, ma y hav e already been up a second time For the more complete story, please turn the page.

Joseph P. Allen IV, Second Beta Astronaut in Orbit, Launches Communication Satellite

It was only a matter of time before Joseph P. Allen IV, DePauw '59, would be up there himself and in November 1982, he made it It was the principal assignment for which he had been waiting since being selected for the astronaut program 15 years ago. He had served in a wide variety of positions for the National Aeronautics & Space Administration and had achieved a certain amount of fame as the capsule communicator in Mission Control who talked directly to the astronauts during the Apollo 15 moon mission.

When Brother Allen did lift off on Nov. 11 with his three companions aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia, however, he along with Bill Lenoir of Miami, Fla. was the first of a new breed of astronauts called mission specialists. As a physicist, he was the fifth scientist to fly in space and the mission was the first commercial flight, with Joe given the assignment of launching one of the two communication satellites which were put into orbit. The one big disappointment was that he was also to be one of the first astronauts to walk in space since 1975 but the faulty space suits put an end to that idea.

A Beta who did get to "space walk" and the first Beta astronaut in orbit was Navy Cmdr. (later Capt.) Paul J. Weitz, Penn State '54, who logged two hours outside Skylab 2 on the flight of first orbiting space laboratory in 1973.

1st Beta "Space" Record

It might also be of interest to note that the first Beta to win acclaim for a "space flight"

The four fun-loving astronauts took this photo of themselves with a pre-set 35mm camera. Vance Brand, crew commander, held the sign referring to the successful deployment of the two commercial satellites. Others clockwise from left are William B. Lenoir, Robert F Overmyer and Joseph Allen.

was one Lt. Col. Albert William Maine '07, who - in a project jointly sponsored by the National Geographic Society and the U. S. Army Air Corps - set a world's record on Nov. 11 (the same day of the year Joe took off!), 1935 by reaching 72,395 (13.7 miles) into the stratosphere in a balloon free flight, the highest man had ever been in space. Loaded with instruments, his balloon was the largest ever built (at least at that time) - big enough to cover a city Incidentally, as a matter of comparison, orbit in which Joe Allen launched the sa from the Columbia was about 175 miles up. ·

Brother Allen - all 5'6", 125 lbs. of himis a trim, youthful appearing 45-year-old who was a vice president of his Beta chapter and floor manager of the 1956 Beta General Con· vention. After graduating · in physics from DePauw, he won a Fullbright scholarship to study in Germany and then received a doc: torate in physics in 1965 from Yale. He was

an instructor and research associate in the nuclear physics laboratory of the University of Washington on a post-doctorate fellowship when he was selected as an astronaut in 1967.

To say Joe comes from a strong Beta background is putting it mildly. His grandfather was Joseph P. Allen, DePauw 1897. His father, Joseph P. Allen III, DePauw '30, is better known as "Perk" Allen and has been called the "Living Legend" of the Delta chapter. In 1933, he returned to Greencastle, Ind. after

This photo, taken in the fall of 1980 on "Perk Allen Day" at DePauw, shows the honoree , Joseph P. Allen III, '30, long-time advisor to the Delta chapter, with his sons, Dr. David T. Allen, '61 and Dr Joseph P. Allen IV, '59.

Paul J. Weitz, Penn State '54, who was Beta's first astronaut in "orbit as pilot of Skylab 2 in June 1973, is scheduled for a repeat performance in Challenger 2 sometime in February (about the time this Issue should go in the mail). Now a captain , USN retired, Brother Weitz has Jogged more than 6 ,200 hours of fly i ng time. 5,100 of it in jet aircraft. In the previous Skylab orbital workshop, the three astronauts were aboard 672 hours and 49 minutes and Paul spent 2 hours and 11 minutes "spacewalking."

graduate work and study abroad, "Perk" became chapter counselor and has served in that capacity, as faculty advisor or as alumnus financial advisor in a great majority of the years since. In addition, he served the General Fraternity as Assistant General Treasurer for Chapter Finance (1970-72) . In fact, the day of Homecoming in 1980 was declared to be "Perk Allen Day" and he was honored by university officials, alumni and the Delta chapter for his contributions as a DePauw faculty member and for his Beta Theta Pi contributions.

Joe also has a "kid brother ," Dr . Da vid T. Allen, DePauw '61, who is commissioner of health for the state of Kentucky.

4-5 Northeast Beta '83 Leadership Workshop

15 January Financial Report Form G

Genial Former Beta and N.I.C. President "Pete" Greiner Was Born to be a Leader

Two words seemed synonymous with Peter F. Greiner, Minnesota '51: Beta and Leader. Perhaps energetic should also be added. That is why his sudden death from a fall while putting up storm windows at his home on Sunday, Oct. 24, seemed so unbelievable to his countless hundreds of friends.

There's no doubt about his enthusiasm and involvement in Beta Theta Pi from the very beginning. Here is an abbreviated version of his activity:

• As an undergraduate - rush chairman, president and convention delegate of his chapter '

• Chapter counselor for five years (1953-58)

• Secretary, president and trustee of Beta Theta Pi Society of Minnesota (1952-58)

• District Chief, 1959-63

• President, 122nd General Convention, Pasadena, Calif., 1961

• Vice President of Beta Theta Pi, 1963-65

• President, 1966-72

• Advisory Board of Former Trustees, 197382

Beta Brother & Two Sons

Peter ' s brother and his two sons are Betas, too: Frederick J., Minnesota '48, Jeffrey P., SMU '80 (now a student at Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania), and Bradley K., Colorado '84, now active in the chapter there.

There is also his long-time Beta Girl, June (a Kappa Alpha Theta from Missouri), a charming Beta wife and mother who is fondly known to many Betas and families who have

attended General Conventions over the las two decades or so.

In 1969, the year he was elected Presiden: of the General Fraternity, Brother Greiner also asked by the Board to be Beta representa tive to the Interfraternity Conference, a rol t in which he served for many years. With dynamic qualities, it was inevitable that would also be elected to virtually every tion of leadership in that organization, too secretary, treasurer, vice president and iJ 1976, president. He was the fifth of famec Betas to head the NIC, his predecessors Francis W. Shepardson, Harold J. Baily, Ray Warnock and Bertram W. Bennett.

Active Minneapolis Lawyer

Professionally, Pete was a partner of Carl sen, Greiner & Law, a prominent law firm cializing in corporate and commercial law. was active in various local organizations eluding Shrine, American Legion, Minneapoli: Athletic Club and St. David's Episcop31 Church. The family home is in Minnetonka, 1 suburb of Minneapolis.

The list of accomplishments is impressive What is more difficult to describe is the warmth, the geniality, the wisdom, the per suasiveness and the persistency that mad£ (Continued on next page)

_rowning and Stubbs Have Key Defense Posts in the Pentagon

Thirty years after their graduation, a pair of UCLAns, Lt. General George M Browning, Jr., UCLA '52, and Major General Duane H. Stubbs, UCLA '51, hold pivotal positions with the Armed Forces.

General Browning, Comptroller of the Air Force, is a native of San Fernando, Calif. After graduation from UCLA, he received a masters degree in international relations from George Washington University.

A distinguished graduate of the Naval War College in 1970, Brother Browning's career included service as commander of the 26th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing , Zweibrucken Air Base, Germany, inspector general for Headquarters U.S. Air Forces in Europe, assistant deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence in charge of operations and director of budget, Office of the Comptroller of the Air Force in 1979. He became Comptroller for the Air Force and was promoted to Lt. General in 1981.

General Stubbs, deputy chief of staff for Logistics, Washington, was born in Bismarck, N.D Besides his UCLA degree, he holds an

MBA from American University, Washington , 1 D.C.

Variety of Commands

His commands have included chief, Policy and Programs Branch; chief, Asset Data Management Branch ; and chief, Quartermaster Branch, Officer Personnale Directorate , U.S. Military Personnel Center, Department of the Army.

General Stubbs was Commander of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, Dallas, prior to promotion to his current assignment in March, 1982.

- Graduating just one year apart, the two 1 were obviously good friends at the Gamma Nu house and their paths have crossed many times since Most recently, for example, both l!re currently stationed at the Pentagon and 1, pri or to last year, when General Stubbs was , commander of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service at Dallas (a $4 2 billion retail/ service organization that operates worldwide), General Browning was AAFES finance chairman and a member of the board of directors d which met quarterly. - Thanks to Richard A. Miller, UCLA '5 0, for facts and photo.

Peter F. Greiner

(Continued from previous page)

Pete Greiner a rare individual. Though his elevation to the circle of Memory & Mystic Shrine comes at a relatively-young age, there's no doubt of his berth among Beta's " Great Ones."

Officiall y representing Beta Theta Pi at the funeral was former General Secretary Richard R. "Misty" Shoop, a long-time friend, and officially representing NIC was its new executive director, Beta ' s immediate past Administrative Secretary Jonathan J. Brant. Brother Shoop reported an overflowing attendance at a pleasant hour-and-a-half funeral with fitting tribute to Brother Greiner. Misty reported: "I am sure Pete was pl eased with the farewell salute from the Beta brothers on his last Beta Day - a program which was inspired by him. "

The Greiner family has requested that anyone wishing to make a memorial gift do so by sending their contribution to the Beta Theta Pi Administrative Offic e, 208 E. High Street, P.O. Box 111, Oxford , OH 45056, designating it for the Beta Leadersh ip Fund , a project which Peter Greiner was instrumental in establishing during his tenure as President.

Chm. & Pres. Howard Love Continues National Steel Progress Put in Motion by George Stinson

Just two years ago , Howard M. Love, Colgate '52, was elected president and chief executive officer of National Steel Corp. at its Pittsburgh, Pa ., home office, and a year later he was made chairman of the board. His predecessor in those positions is George A. Stinson, Northwestern '36, who still keeps his hand in as a director and chairman of the executive committee.

It ' s a case of Beta succeeding Beta with progress of a dynamic company continuing unabated.

Today, when Brother Love isn't busy streamlining his steel operations, he likes to talk about making National Steel the diversified corporation it's quickly becoming. "We don't want to confuse people," he says, "but we are now a financial service company and an aluminum company as well as a steel corporation."

5th Largest S & L Assn.

National acquired Citizens Savings & Loan of California in 1979 , followed by purchase of West Side Federal in New York and Washington Savings & Loan in Florida in 1981. That makes National Steel, which put them under one name - First Nationwide Savings - the fifth largest savings and loan in the country with assets over $7 billion.

But Love didn't overlook other National operations in the process. All four of the company's segments - steel, fabricated products, aluminum and financial servicesoperated profitably in 1981 despite the severe economic downturn. and total earnings improved to $86.1 million in 1981, compared with $83.8 million the previous year.

Howard Love, who served with the air

force and earned his MBA from Harvard i 1956 after graduating from Colgate, immed ately began his National Steel career as sales trainee He advanced through variou positions to become president of the Midwel Steel Division in 1966, president of Granil City Steel Division as well in 1972, and als became president of National Pipe and Tub Company, a National subsidiary, in 1974. Pe r haps needless to say he is active on nume industry, civic, business and educational ir stitution boards and organizations.

Stinson's Active Career

After obtaining a JD degree from Columbi University, George Stinson saw service wit the air force during World War II, the rank of lieutenant colonel. For two yean thereafter, he served as special assistant t the U. S. Attorney General and then more than a decade in the practice of law t New York City. In 1961, he joined Nationa Steel Corp. as vice president and secretar· and two years later was elected presiden subsequently becoming CEO and chairman.

Brother Stinson has also been active iJ many organizations including chairman CEO of the American Iron & Steel Institute iJ 1969-71 and chairman of the Iron & Steel Institute in 1975-77.

_

Another recent innovation has brought Love int? the limelight. Recentl y he unveiled a move to take National S t eel yet another step away from o ver concentration on a single industry In a plan to shed nearly a third of the company's total steelmaking capacity, he proposed that the 11,500 employees at National's Weitron , W.Va. plant buy the giant facility and run it themselves If the negotiations succeed, it would be the largest 100% worker-owner company in the U .S.

No. Carolina Beta Robt. Phinny Is Ambassador to Swaziland

The new U.S . Ambassador to Swaziland is Robert H. Phinny, North Carolina '45, w ho arrived at his post in mid-September This nation, one of the most stable countries on the African continent, is about the size of New Jersey, and is located between the Republic of South Africa and Mozambique.

A native of Pennsyl v ania, Brother Phinny served in the navy during World War II, attaining the rank of lieutenant junior grade. Active in the real estate and food ser v ice business in Fremont, Mich ., he also took a working role in Republican politics ser vi n g in many prominent capacities on both a state and national level.

Ambassador Phinny had participated in numerous public service responsibilities including leadership duties in the local Chamber of Commerce, the United Fund, Rotary , Boy Scouts and Library Foundation.

With a home in Palm Springs , Calif., Bob Phinny served as a trustee of the University of La Verne and the Palm Springs Des e rt Museum. He and his wife Sally ha v e four children.

Peter Floriani Plans a 1 OOth Anniversary Booklet on Beta's Wooglin-on-Chatauqua Clubhouse

It had a comparatively short-lived history but Wooglin-on-Chatauqua in New York State, a lakeside resort built by and for Beta alumni, was once apparently quite a showplace. Built in 1884, it boasted 40 bedrooms , dining room, parlors, billiard room, bowling alley, its own dock and even a steam yacht. Its heyday lasted perhaps a decade before it ran into financial troubles and was sold and turned into a hotel called "The Wooglin Inn ." Then, in 1901, it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground [story and photo in The Beta Theta Pi , Summer 1979). Yet it remains one of the fascinating - and not too well-documented - facets in Beta history.

This past summer , Peter J Floriani, Lehigh '77, visited the original site, verifying his explorations with research at Chatauqua County Cou rt House and interviews with owners of cottages near the site. The property, sold by Beta in 1895, is now owned by various nonBetas who formed a "Wooglin Corporation" to protect and care for the roads and common areas.

Sinc e 1984 will mark the 100th Anniversary of the Wooglin Clubhouse , Pete is planning to prepare a small publication on its history based on his research, Be ta files and any other inf or mation he can obtain. Any Beta with any data that might help - or who would like to aid in the project - is invited to contact Brother Floriani at 1009 Penn St. , Reading , PA 19601.

Schulhof Is Gen. Treasurer, Del Pizzo Vice Pres., Moriarty Asst. Gen. Treas. & Rawley Adm. Secy.

0f six General Officers who compose Beta's Board of Trustees - the President, General Secretary, General Treasurer and three Vice Presidents - all serve three-year terms, so two are elected at General Convention each year. In 1982, it was General Treasurer and a Vice President, with Hugh Tuck Schulhof, DePauw '58, and Ferdinand Del Pizzo, Washington [St. Louis) '58, chosen for those positions.

Shortly following convention, two important General Officer appointments were made: Kenneth J. Rawley, Penn State '76, was selected after a comprehensive search to succeed Jonathan M. Brant, Midmi '75 as Administrative Secretary at Oxford. In addition, Michael D. Moriarty, Indiana '72, was appointed Assistant General Treasurer-Chapter Finance , replacing Dr. Robert E. Boggs, who moved to a newly-created position as Assistant General Treasurer-General Fraternity Finance.

Beta's new General Treasurer is secretary and general attorney of Indiana Bell Telephone Co., Inc of Indianapolis, with whom he has been associated since 1965. As an undergraduate, Tuck was his chapter's representative on the student senate and the IFC and served as president of the latter. He later spent three years as a District Chief, was elected Vice President for three years in 1973, served as president of the 141st General Con-

vention at Hot Springs, Va. in 1980 and attended 13 conventions. As an attorney, l has been admitted to practice before the U. : Supreme Court and various state supreme an appellate courts. He is a member of varim bar organizations and civic and social organ zations. A resident of Carmel, Ind., he and h wife Saundra are parents of four children. Brother Schulhof succeeds Samuel J. Cartney, Jr., who has served two terms and : also a former Vice President and Distril Chief.

The Untold Photo Story

Dear Brother McClung,

I have been asked by the Tau Sigma Alumni Corporation to write you regarding the article about the Beta Leadership Workshops which appeared in the Summer 1982 edition of The Beta Theta P i (p. 392].

We in Ames are proud to have been a part of the fine workshop and are happy that it was regarded as a success. However, we were somewhat disappoint e d In the lighthearted treatment of the "Wi nt er Wonderland" photo of the Phi Gamma D elta chapter house on the Iowa State campus.

You failed to point out that this photo was made possible by the sub -zero temperatures which quickly froze the water from fire hoses as the h ouse was gutted by fire.

The photo could have b ee n used much more effectively as a tr agic r e minder to chapters a nd hou se corporations alike to r eview their fire safe ty and evacuation proc e dures Miraculously, no one di e d or was seriously injured in this particul a r fire, but who is to say that some Beta chapter would be so lucky?

Thank you for the long hours you spend in produ cing this fine magazine. It is yet another example of the quality of our fraternity and the way in which we do things.

The Unthanked Coloradans

Dear Editor McClung:

I realize that, when writing an article such as th e one regarding Beta Th eta Pi's recolonization at the University of Colorado (The Bet a Th et a Pi, Summ e r 1982], it would be difficult to thank everyone responsible for the success. However, in this case I feel an injustic e , how ever unintentional, was done when no mention was made of s evera l peopl e who contributed in a monument al mann er to the effort.

First, I cannot understand the omission of Dan Haskell ' s name (Former Distri ct Chief Daniel M. Haskell, Denver ' 68] He was asked by s everal Colorado University alumni to get the ball rolling, and without his help in locating people willi ng to h e lp , the recolonization would never ha ve gotten off the ground. Were I Brother Hask ell, I would feel quite slighted by the lack of even a word of appreciation.

Second, and just as important, was the support given by Beta Phi chapter at the Color a do School of Mines. Two Beta Phi brothers especially were involved - William F. Wilkening, '79, and Harold H. Mlller, '79 Thos e two drove every week (at l east once a week] to Boulder to give pl edge lessons to the prospective Colorado University Betas

My intent (is] . .. only to set the record straight. When an article such as the one about Colorado University is written (and used as a cover story no less] The

In the spring of 1982 P ete's brother, Donald Neal, also b ecame a member of our Vanderbilt chapter and thus b ecame the ninth member of his family to b e a Beta. This family linkage to Beta goes back, incidentally , nearly 80 years to 1903.

Here is the roster of Fawcett-Winter familyBetas: Don ald Fawcett, Vanderbilt '85, P e te Fawcett, Vanderbilt '80 [Don's brother], Dwight W.

Fawcett, Ohio '20 , Samuel G Win t er, Ohio '03, Frederick H. Winter, Ohio '07, George W. Winter , Ohio '14 (greatuncles of Don and Pete]

Nine members of one family to wear the Beta stars, if not a record, is certainly close to it. Ce rta inly this fine famil y has contributed much to Beta Th eta Pi.

An Impressed Beta Girl

Dear Mr. Mc Clung :

Your magazine has come to my home for as many year s as I can remember, and I always have enjoyed looking through it.

My father is an Epsilon chapter Beta - class of 1943. (Harry 0 Dudl ey.) When I chose to at ten d C en tr e College, I was naturally curious about the fr aternity whose name I had heard s ince childhood. I was most impressed to find my father's chapter still is strong and active. From my first day on campus, the men of Epsilon proved to be friendly and sincere It s eems that the Betas I have been fortunate enough to m eet from other chapters also exhi bit the same positive characteristics. I'm not sure what it is about you Beta Theta Pi's, but you certainly have a fine organization.

In closing, I would like to say that I am extremely proud to be considered a "Beta Girl" - both as the daughter of a Beta and as the reigning Sweetheart of Epsilon chapter.

Danville, Ken.

Most sincerely yours, Ruth E. Dudley

National Scottish Rites Masonry Magazine Pays High Tribute to Beta's Dr. Seth Brooks

Most living Betas, even if they have never met or never have seen him, know that Dr. Seth R. Brooks, St. Lawrence '22, is someone pretty special. The former District Ghief who spent nearly a decade as General Secretary and two 3-year terms as President has been the inspirational speaker at countless General Conventions , regional and local alumni and chapter affairs and has made hundreds of chapter visitations. His words of wisdom under the heading Inter Fratres on page two of the Magazine have appeared for more than three decades. There's no doubt he has earned the accolade of "Beta's Living Legend" and wears it well.

It will probably come as no great surprise to find that Seth Brooks is a name held in great respect outside the brotherhood of Beta Theta Pi as well. In an article in the August 1982 issue of The New Age, the monthly magazine of Scottish Rite (42nd degree) Masons, Dr. Raymond W. Miller of Washington, D.C. writes ...

"Giant Intellect & Outreach"

"Diagonally across 16th Street NW., from the House of the Temple in Washington, D.C., is another architectural gem, the Universalist National Memorial Church. It is but a house of worship of a small denomination, but for 40 years a pastor of a giant intellect and outreach tended his flock there. He has always been a powerful influence for stability of individual character and for permanence of the ideals upon which our Constitution is based and our Nation launched on the turbulent seas of modern history.

"This man , Brother Dr. Seth R. Brooks, now in his ninth decade of life, is a product of the pioneer stock of New England and the Hudson River Valley. Early in life, he became imbued with the desire to work for the common good.

" He enrolled as a student at St. Lawrence University, New York, a rugged center - of learning in a rugged geological area. He worked his way to an education, and into the hearts ·of fellow students and faculty. He became a member of Beta Theta Pi, and has become a living tradition among its active members and alumni.

"For 30 years or more, he has contributed

his expressed philosophy to his magazine. God alone can even impact his writings have had on the of human behavior in his readers. He has knowledge of America and a respect for it its ideals that are rare in this generation.

"He has now retired from the active pa torate of his church, but, well beyond the cs of duty, he has been the confidant and advisor to the great and near great who steered our Nation's course during the exciting century in modern times.

"Dr. Brooks is unique, in the strict of the word. I am neither a member of ht church nor of Beta Theta Pi, but I have bee so impressed by his writings and by the gre ; respect in which he is held by his friends an associates that I want his shadow to cover article. He firmly believes that our system responsible freedom can survive only if citizens nurture the roots of our national e ; periment in government."

The article then quotes from most of Inter Fratres titled Tending the Soil in Spring 1982 Issue of The Beta Theta Pi an goes on to tell of his joining the Masons Canton, N.Y. in 1923, of his dedication to principles of that organization, and how life, writings and sayings have affecte thousands.

"Brother Seth Brooks ," concludes Dr Mille "has left footprints in the sands of time."

eta Robt. Truex Is hairman & CEO of ainier National Bank

The news element which gives this · story a major heading is not in the election of G. Robert Truex, Rutg ers 49, as chairman of the board of Rainier BanJorporation or Rainier National Bank of Seatde. That is ancient history - he was made Chief Executive Officer of those two organizations in 1973 and 1974, respectively, shortly after he had left the post of executive vice president of Bank of America in San Francisco. What's news from our point-of-view, is our discovery of the fact and that it adds to the important link of Betas in top banking posts on the Pacific Coast.

Two years ago, following · announcement of Samuel P. Armacost, Denison '61, as new president of the Bank of America , it was learned that Betas held the presidential posts of three other of top California banking chain . Subsequently we also reported a bank president in San Diego Next we found a similar Beta dominance in top banking posts in the Southeast. Now we're wondering - what about the East and Midwest?

A native of Red Bank, N.J. , Bob Truex graduated from high school just in time to plunge into World War II including four campai gns in Europe and discharge as a captain. After Rutgers where he had a busy campus career as a Beta, he entered the banking business

with Irving Trust Co. in New York and over the next 17 years worked himself into the top ranks as senior vice president. He then succumbed to the lure of the West and B of A in 1966, serving first in Los Angele s and then in San Francisco. He was made executive vice president of Bank of America in 1969. He left in 1973, when offered the reins he now holds.

At Rainier , incidentally, Brother Truex succeeded another Beta - T. Robert Faragher, Washington '34 Among many affiliations, he has been a director and member of the executive committee of National Airlines for 18 years - and its successor, Pan Am, for three.

Former Gen. Secy. Jack Wesenberg Is New Tutors-in-Residence Commissioner

Back in 1975, early in the six-year tenure of Jack H . Wesenberg, Iowa '51, as General Secretary (1974-80), he was instrument al in the instigation of the Tutors-in-Residence Program, which places up to eight Beta graduate students with proven leadership with chapters seeking guidance and help. With the proven success of the Program , the Board of Trustees has decided to create a new position of Tutors-in -Resid ence Commissioner to administer and increase its efficiency. The first Commissioner so named is: Jack Wesenberg, now of Tulsa, Okla

Professionally , Brother Wesenberg has served various Chambers of Commerce as executive secretary, and is a past president of the American Chamber of Commerce Executives. Besides many other business affiliations, he has also served as a lecturer on many college campuses. For Beta Theta Pi, he has also served as a District Chief and as president of the 1973 General Convention. 203

Boxing Paintings of Geo. Bellows Hung in Nat'l Gallery of Art

The boxing paintings of George Bellows, Ohio State '05, never had been hung together until last September when the National Gallery of Art in Washington assembled them for the first time.

Marking the centennial of Bellows' birth, the exhibition proved immensely popular and drew wide critical praise. The Washington Post observed: "The show is (excuse it, please) a knockout."

The National Gallery first paid , tribute to Bellows in 1957, the 75th anniversary of his birth, by bringing together more than 150 of his oils and lithographs for the first one-man show in its history. For the centennial exhibition, which extended into January 1983, the Gallery focused exclusively on Bellows' "lively depictions of prizefights." On view were 39 works, including his six boxing paintings, 14 drawings, 18 lithographs and one magazine cover.

In conjunction with the show, the Gallery published a fully illustrated catalogue and commentary on Bellows' life and art that sold at $9.50 . A lecture was presented on "George Bellows and Athletics." And several Holly-

Stag at Sharkey s, Bellows ' most celebrated workcall e d by some the greatest of all boxing paintings - was painted in New York City in 1909 where George had a little studio near what is now Lincoln Center To help make expenses, he and his apartment-mate , Fred Cornell, Ohio State '06, played semipro bask e tball on weekends While public boxing in New York was then illegal , nothing prevented bouts in private clubs - tickets were " dues " and boxers were " memb ers" for the fights in the backrooms behind bars, such as that run by retired Heavyweight Tom Sharkey.

wood boxing films were screened, leading oft with the 1942 Gentleman Jim with Errol Flynn in the role of Jim Jeffries.

Bellows' reputation as one of America 's foremost realist painters was not confined to his boxing pictures. To remind visitors of this , the Gallery gathered ten of its own non-sports paintings by Bellows, part of its permanent collection, and put them on a separate exhibition. American Painting 1900-1970 in thlf Time-Life Library of Art notes: "His landscapes surpassed in power and range the best works of the artists of the 19th Century Hudson River School and his portraits are among the finest done by an American artist in this century."

EDITOR'S NOTE : We regret that space limitation does not permit us to print the full article sent by Brother Edwards , giving a biographical sketch and · further comments of critics of the famed Beta artist. Regular readers of The Beta Theta Pi may recall a cover story of George Bellows in our Fall 1979 issue , which also printed a number of his "on campus" paintings done when an undergrad in the Beta house Other admirers may wish to contact Brother Edwards, obviously a true Bellows aficionado, whose address is 3 Vashi Lane, Rockville , MD 20852.

Eileen Stevens Writes

Dear Friends at Beta Theta Pi :

My participation in the Beta Convention at French Lick Springs , Ind , this August was a very special experience for me. Meeting and speak ing with many of you gave me the opportunity to find out first-hand! what Beta Theta Pi was all about.

I am so delighted and encouraged by the many letters I have received in support of my work - and , I am thrilled to learn that the Convention delegates voted to adopt a new pledge education program This reinforces my belief that positive action from within, the undergrads themselves, will eradicate the outdated, dangerous hazing practices that have blemished the good name of fraternities and all they represent

Let's always remember the true meaning of brotherhood -a fellowship, a sharing of the same goals, ideals and principles Never let that camaraderie be blemished by apathy, or any form of indifference or abuse We must continue to work together, learn together and care for each other as we strive to achieve our goals

Your national officers have proven their dedica tion to eliminate all forms of hazing - mental and physical, in every chapter of Beta Theta Pi.

Our growth process is never accomplished without making mistakes. Let's learn from past errors, and set an example for others to follow. -

It will take leadership and courage. Resolve right now to do your part in Beta's effort to rid all chapters of hazing. You may be assured I will help in any way I can to work with the Greek system and Beta Theta Pi.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your effort to address hazing.

Sincerely,

The Beta Theta Pi I Winter 11183

The Ignored Legacy

EDITOR ' S NOTE: On page 20 of the Fall 1982 Issu e, we pr inted a 5-parag r aph letter from an anonymous Beta w ho sa i d t hat while he could easily afford it, he was w ithholding any contributions to Beta Theta Pi. His ex planat ion was one that probably most older Betas ha v e heard before - he had written a letter to a Beta chapter telling them his son was enrolling in that university and that he would appreciate their considering t he son as a rushee and potential pledge. The lett e r w a s never acknowl e dged and his son was n e ver contacted Rather than writi ng an Editor's comment in response , we asked our read e rs if any of them cared to do so - and we're glad we did. The four thoughtful, well -worded letters prin t ed below speak for themselves.

Defeating the Purpose?

or [I suspect this happened) have members of chapter observe him on campus and in classes and d e cide he did not fit their group at this time

The alternate - do the latter, not offend the son and hopefully feel the father would realize that son did not fit their specific group [nothing wron g with the son) and perhaps some other fraternity would pledge him where he would be happy. The son may b e better off in a group where he finally felt [if pledged Beta) that was not the group for him.

I do agree, Once a Beta, always a Beta, the rush captains or the secretary of the chapter are obligated to respond in one way or the other when some member requests a chapter evaluation of a member's son or any other student recommended by a member fo r consideration

From my experience at Texas Tech, it would be hard for me to be sympathetic to any request for help or aid - not because the young man was not a Beta but because I never received a call or a note concerning my request and the disposition thereof.

Dear Editor :

I'll make a stab at answering the letter to Jim Wachs printed in the Fall 1982 Issue That's right, a stab! That wasn't an easy letter to wr it e and it's tougher to answer ; however, as one expecting his Fraternal Fifties card in a few months, here goes :

Chapters are as div e rse in their makeup as the people throughout this great land. I've been disappointed a time or two by different chapter actions , but pref e r to believe that a rush chairman or corresponding secretary was being individually irresponsible or inconsid er at e and that if the chapter as a whole were to react, the outcome would be entirely different.

For e v ery Beta disappointment, I can recall several warm and happy incidents. For exampl e s , for a depression- e ra boot marine in San Diego, some senior Beta had put a sign in the PX announcing a regular alumni dinner at the University Club -I was never treated more royally! Later, during a stint in Shanghai, the chance discovery of a Brother Be ta. As a Navy Supply Corps Offic e r during WWII, I was able to take p a rt in the initiation of an Idaho chapter pledg e conducted by the Spokane , Wash. , alumni association . Attending a church ser v ice in Washington , D C. to hear an inspiring sermon by the Rev Seth R. Brooks A luncheon in Tampa with an Idaho brother not seen in over 40 years

I'd like to think that in these leadership workshops, sensitivity to and appreciation of others is taughtnot only to chapter members and pledges but certainly to the alumni and outsiders as well. By the same token withholding a contribution mi ght lessen the workshop potential that good personal and business practices will be achieved

You may count on my continued contribution to the Beta Leadership

Betas Are Humans

Your letter tells me that you had a constructive undergraduate Beta experience, that Beta Theta Pi has made a difference in your life, and that you come from a chapter of which you can be justly proud. We are all fortunate to be Betas, and you are a fortunate Beta. Ideally we should all have had the same Be ta experience , but our fraternity consists of people and p e ople are far from perfect.

In oth e r words joining Beta Theta Pi is a calculated risk bearing certain responsibilities, not completely unlike entering upon a marriage. The Be t a experience and a marriage can be close to perfect - morally, physically and intellectually - IF everyone follows the ritual. In either case you dare not wear your heart on your sleeve And when a Beta's letter to a Beta Chapter gets misplaced, misdirected, lost or the appropriate officer fails to acknowledge it, that chapter becom e s a double loser and that Beta is hurt the same as if his own son had brought discredit upon his name

Your feelings are understandable! Still , every other true and worthy member of our association will · probably have a similar experience if he has the love , loyalty and the determination to believe in the principles of Beta Theta Pi and that Betas are brothers for life.

I wish that you could attend the 144th General Convention of our favorite fraternity next August at Mackinac, as you would find it most rewarding and might even furnish the best of all possible answers to your thoughtful letter.

Dear Editor :

The Chapter's Obligation

I read the letter from the Beta concerning how his son was handled

I have no children but did have a young friend who went to Texas Tech at Lubbock -I called the rush captain - never heard from him and my young friend joined another fraternity

To comment on the father 's unhappiness. Which would be better if the fraternity did not want the son: [1) Have him over rush week and turn him down

Punish the Whole Family?

Dear Brother Beta:

So , you are "turned off." I have shared your experience, but not your reaction.

At some time, most of us have had a bad experience with an individual relative without extending punishment to the whole family.

Discourtesy by any Beta rush captain is regrettable but scarcely justifies "turning off" with the entire fraternity

The lifetime Beta experience should be much

broader than a question of who is asked to pledge by an individual chapter in a certain year - a decision that properly belongs to current members.

It's not surprising that the son of a Beta who " made the grade" a generation ago with the thenmembers of the local brotherhood, might not have a rapport with those on the scene today.

The Bible plays a strong role in the Beta bond, making this quotation quite appropriate - "Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brother."

Yours in - kai, Edward

Want Your Son to Be a Beta?

EDITOR'S NOTE : NOW, it's our turn! The four preceding letters, we believe, are excellent in pointing out to undergraduate chapters the potential losses in support, financial and other.wise, that can stem from the single incidence of overlooking and acting upon a Jetter from an alumnus - and to a once-hurt alumnus, that a large and great organization of human beings should not be everlastingly held responsible for the neglect of a single and immature individual member. We are particularly impressed with the point made by Brother Gibb - that the of money from projects designed to educate and enhance proper Beta actions and ideals would certainly do nothing to discourage such incidents to which he is objecting. It's like saying, "I was hurt so I am not going to help any project which keeps oth e rs from being hurt."

But all this brings up another angle which we think could help Betas with yopqg sons to avoid such incidents. Through the years, we have seen too many deeply disappointed fathers who wanted their sons to be rushed Beta but in our opinion, did too little themselves to make sure it happened. Any good businessman who wants to make an important sale doesn't just send one brochure to a prospect and hope that it alone will make him come in and buy. One letter to a chapter can get lost in the mail, reach the wrong person or become unintentionalJy buried in a stack of papers.

Unfortunately, my own son never went to a college that had a Beta chapter - but from experience, if he had, that chapter would not only receive a letter from me long before school opening, but probably would get a followup if I did not recieve an acknowledgement before rush week. But certainly, I wouldn't stop there. I would contact several Beta friends and ask them to drop a Jetter of recommendation on my son to the chapter. I would also drop a note - or a carbon copy of my letter to the chapter - to the chapter counselor and / or District Chief (both of whom are listed in the Magazine Directory One letter can go astray or unintentionally be ignored but not several. In that case, at least , I would know that if my son was not rushed, it was not because I was partly if not mostly to blame for leaving too much to chance.

Just by Doing His Job, Ed Garvey's Made a Name For Himself-Good or Bad

A year ago, the average person would probably have given you a blank stare if you asked him if he ever heard of Ed Garvey. Today, it's practically a household name in fair percent of the U.S.A.

That would be Edward Robert Garvey, Wisconsin '61, executive director of the National Football League Players Assn ., a man whose name dominated the sports pages of virtually every newspaper in Am e rica all fall long. In a season in which prominent Republicans and Democrats were supposed to engender the most debate, Brother Garvey - the players' spokesman during the NFL strike - doubtless evolved as the most controversial figure of all

Obviously, Ed is not overly loved by NFL owners, a sizeable number of football fans , and some sports writers. He has found friends and admirers among many football players, organized laborers and a segment of the general public. But apparently to Brother Garvey, it doesn't matter - he ' s simply been trying to do a good job and work for a cause in which he believes.

Ed's "campaigning" began early When an undergraduate in the Beta house at Wisconsin, he ran for and was elected president of the student body. Not being afraid to tackle "sacred gods," he took on the compulsory Army Reserve Officer Training program, asserting that a voluntary program would benefit the army by attracting better qualified officer candidates. After winning his argument, he then backed it up by joining the R.O.T.C. upon graduation from law school and serving two years as an army intelligence officer. He next joined the Minneapolis law firm of Lindquist & Venum, which later became counsel to the players association and Ed was given the assignment.

1924's Convention President

Dear Brot h er McClung:

My purpose in writing you is to say thanks for the blurb in the Summer Issu e of th e Beta Magazine on page 395 describing what some good folks did for me and Case Western Reserve University on my r ecent bi rt hday.

But w hat I should be ever more grateful for is the S et h Brooks m e ssage on the inside front cover about the "nine others." I was so moved by it that I promptl y called Oxford to get signed up for the vention at French Lick After all, you were mce enough to m e ntion I was president of the convention at Mackinac 58 years ago.

So keep pitching. You are doing a great job for all of us .

San Diego Alumni Assn. Is Pleased with Colony's Progress; Help from All Alumni Sought

October 1982 began the second year of Beta colonization at San Diego State University under the direction of the San Diego Beta Alumni Assn. We certainly have good reason to be proud of the many goals and achievements accomplished this past year in San Diego. ,

Under the core leadership of such great San Diego Betas as Richard Draz, Ohio Wesleyan '54, J. Frederick Oliver, Arizona ' 67, William H. Ross, Colgate '32, Stanley 0. Chambers, Michigan State '51, Richard C. Lewis, Oklahoma State '34, Harold J. Gentner, Rutgers, '72, and Daniel P. McCarthy, California-Irvine '78, the association has carried on its 56-year heritage of brotherly friendship and mutual assistance to the undergraduate colony at SDSU. We have seen hundreds of alumni attend the initiations of the colony undergrads. Alumni and students have enjoyed many memorable times together at banquets and parties, sharing songs and stories of days gone by and of days to come. We have seen a colony grow to 16 actives and seven pledges in just one short year. We have seen Beta become an integral part of the Greek system, the university and the community of San Diego. The accomplishments are many, but we are not ones to simply rest on past laurels.

This upcoming year represents the most challenging one for us in San Diego. We are striving to increase alumni participation with monthly banquets and other get-togethers such as our annual Sweetheart Christmas party to be held in mid-December. We also are formulating a San Diego Area Beta Theta Pi Businessman's Directory which will list local Betas and their businesses or other services available to Betas. Certainly, our prime emphasis will be on working toward an official charter for the colony at the next Beta Ge neral Convention.

We feel the colony will achieve charter status as evidenced by its fulfillment of chartering requirements such as close alumni-undergraduate relations, attainment of high scholastic achievement on campus, participation in IFC intramurals and other Greek activities, strength and unity amongst the undergraduate Betas, pledging highly qualified young men, and the acquisition of a Beta house. At this time the alumni are raising

money to purchase a house and in the meantime, we probably will be able to rent a house within sight of the campus. With this combination of achievements, we are confident that San Diego State University will be the home of a very strong and proud chapter of Beta Theta Pi. (By Douglas T. Moore, Texas-Arlington '76, Alumni Secretary.)

EDITOR'S NOTE: We regret that because of space shortage and matter of setting precedent applicable to all alumni associations, we cannot grant the requested privilege to the San Diego Assn. of running multiple addresses and phone numbers in the Alumni Dir ectory section. However, because of the timely need outlined in the foregoing, we will list them here this time:

Moore, Tx-Ar '76, 12817 Soule St , Poway, Ca 92064, (714) 748-7186; Alumni President , Richard Draz, OhW '54, (714) 453-4550; Alumni Vice-President, Fred Oliver, Az '67, (714) 5609363; Alumni Treasurer, Harold J.

Revived Beta Theta Pi Club of New York Is Now a Reality; Ask for Schedule of Events!

During recent months, the revitalized Beta Theta Pi Club of New York City has taken major strides towards becoming a viable organization. Under the strong leadership of President Eric Bashford, Beloit '81, and solid support from a core of hard-working officers, the club has held several organizational meetings and completed an initial mailing to inform local Beta alumni that the club once again is active. This preliminary mailing netted approximately 100 memberships and we hope to increase our ranks when a complete mailing to all 5,000 Beta alumni living in the New York City area is completed by the end of the year

Under the guidance of Events Coordinator Robert Weller, Denver '80, the club scheduled two important fall functions. In November we scheduled a Career's Day at the Columbia chapter where members were to speak to undergraduates from Columbia, Rutgers and Stevens chapters about their professions and job hunting techniques.

In December the club planned a revival of one

of its great traditions - the Wassail Bowl. The fond memories of past Wassails live on in the hearts of all who have ever attended such an event, and we hoped that our older broth ers who helped make this a joyous and festive occasion in the past would join this year's celebration and help us recapture the spirit of this wond e rful tradition .

The club extends its heartfe lt appreciation to Robert McConaughey, Nebraska '49, and Carl Tinstman, Miami '67. These two men kept the flickering flame of the club alive during its inactive period , and their insight and co un seling have be en invaluabl e during our transformation period. We also extend our thanks to James Mercadante, president of the Columbia chapter, and all of the brothers at Columbia who provided crucial assistance in our mailing efforts

If you would like to join the Beta Theta Pi Club of New York City or would lik e to receive a schedule of our events , please contact Bob McConaughey, c / o Dental Economics, 230 Park Ave., NY, NY 10017, phone (212) 986-4312. (By Lawrence (Larry) Schnapf, Rutgers '76.)

Conviviality reigned as new friendships were made and old acquaintances renewed. Ov er 200 alumni indicated on their return cards they wished to remain on the mailing list.

Members of the new University of Maryland chapter visited and sang for their supper. The alumni were highly impressed with the sincerity, vitality and spirit of this fine group of men

Afterward, these young Betas visited the nearby residence of Robert G. Merrick, JHU '17 and his brother, William S Merrick, JHU '15 Much to the delight of these two alumni, Beta s for 68 and 70 years, respectively, they sang a complete repertoire of fraternity songs .

Interested area alumni should contact John A. Austin, 1222 Deanwood Road, Baltimore, MD 21234.-D.T.F.

Following the "rebirth" meeting of the Baltimore Association, undergraduate members of the Maryland chapter serenaded Robert and William Merrick, Johns Hopkins '17 and '15, respectively.

Wichita State Singing Chapter Award

Dear Jack:

On page 76 of the (Convention) Issue, you mention ' the song contest'. Again on pages 122-123, you l'il.lk about the ' song competition '. There is a North Dakota Award, a Whitman Choral Cup , a Virginia Tech Award and a Wichita State Singing Chapter Award. Why is it that WSU 's award has been presented three years in a row and still has not been mentioned in the magazine?

We would like to continue to give 01-1t this award [singing is im portant to us), but it will be hard to get the chapter to continue financing it if we are treated this way.

-kaiTim J. Watt Wichita State ' 80

Editor's Note: Wichita State is not only a fine singing chapter and the instigator of this award (the brainchild of Brother Watt and former District Chief Larry Dean , it was introduced at the 1980 convention), but it has be en one of Beta's all -around outstanding chapters most of the time since its inception in 1959 So who can blame Brother Watt (one of WSU's most distinguished recent graduates-see page ) and others of his chapter for being mad at the Editor?

Cer t ain ly not the Editor himself. To make matters worse, Brother Watt called this matter to our attention at convention and then wrote a letter [which got misplaced) to remind us. All we can say is that it certainly h a s not been intentional and we bet it will be a long time before this oversight occurs again . But it does leave us a bit shaken-maybe senility has begun to set in!

A New Graduate's Outlook

Dear Brother Brant:

Thank you so much for your recent letter. It is so nice to know that Beta still is a big part of my life This fall I will be attending the University of Arizona, where I will be a part of the cardiac rehabilitation /ex ercise physiology department. After I receive my masters degree there, I will return to USC to complete my doctorate My career goals consist of, hopefully , being employed by a top athletic track club and the U S. Olympic Team as an exercise physiologist

In February, I will be participating in the Hawaiian triathalon During the bicycle portion of the Tace I will be wearing a two-toned light blue and pink racing top with dark blue Beta Theta Pi lettering. I really want to contribute all I can to the. Beta alumni tradi· tion, please let me know what I can do to be of serv· ice to you. Thank you for everything I hope being a Beta alumnus is as rewarding as being a Gamma Tau active.

Yours in - kai -, Kenneth R. Allen usc '82

ALABAMA

The Delta Theta chapter continues to grow and strengthen its image on campus. Under the leadership of Jeffrey W. Hayes, '84, rush chairman, 16 young men were presented with the Beta pledge pin. These men all exhibit the qualities necessary to become future Betas. Many thanks to all alumni who sent rush names, and also to those who attended any of our rush parties.

During the summer much work was done on the house in order to keep it one of the more attractive on campus. Thanks to William G. Summerlin , '82 and V Thomas Ponder, '83, for the painting and oth er 1 work they did. The chapter now is in the process of renovating the study and game rooms Many thanks in this area go to James Mezrano, '66, one of Delta Theta's founders.

We hope all alumni will continue to give us support. If ever in town, please feel welcome to come by and have dinner, or attend a chapter meeting.

• Also, please continue to send any rush names you may have or send any suggestions you may hav e toward house improvem e nts.

Also, Delta Theta extends an invitation to all Betas to visit with us at any time. We were honored to hav e the Penn State alums who stayed with us the weekend of the Alabama-Penn State football game.

In closing, Alabama Betas wish all Betas a great and successful 1983. (Mark Lonsway, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

AUBURN

With the return of the brothers from their various summer escapades, Delta Zeta settled down with 92 actives and began planning for another successful year on the Plains.

With the news that the chapter placed second in scholarship for the 1981-1982 year, and was the recipient of the Ralph Brown Draughon Social Service Award which is given by the university to the f r aternity "which is deemed in its daily conduct most effectively to have focused attention upon religious , ethical and social service activities," we began the quarter.

Perhaps the impetus which propelled the chapter into fall's busy schedule was the bestowing of the Sisson Award to Delta Zeta at the 143 General Convention. A special thanks to former President Hector Llorens, '83, District Chief Charles B. Tatum, '75, and all the officers whose reports and efforts made the award possible.

The greatest success for Delta Zeta this fall was rush Less people went out for rush this year due to the economy, yet our chapter saw b etter quality and m turn pledg ed 32 outstanding young men, all of whom will make worthy Betas.

Over the summer, a n ew hous emother was selected, Mrs. Margaret Stewart. Sh e has proven to be the wisest choic e possible because after she accepted her duties as kitchen supervisor, the menu improved and the d iet was bal anced.

On the first weekend of school, the fraternity cohosted an all-campus fund raiser with Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity and D elta Zeta and Alpha Gamma Delta Sororities, which h a s be e n called the largest and most successful fund raiser in the history of Auburn University. A special thanks goes to William A. McMullen, '83.

Delta Zeta has initiated a new activity on Auburn ' s campus which h as be en successful at other coll e ges . The last weekend in January has b een designated as the first Miss War Eagle Contest, which is a preliminary to the Miss Alabama Cont est and is open to all universit y coeds.

In addition to the annual Homecoming Banquet, the chapter celebrated the Loving Cup Ceremony with the John Reily Knox Loving Cup , marking the first time the cup has be en in Auburn since the chapter ' s installation in 1964.

A recent example of how broad Beta's domain really is was shown by the chapter when it h e lp ed Gamma Upsilon by formally initiating an Emory brother into the ranks of Beta Theta Pi. How fitting things turn, because in the winter of 1960, 22 years ago, Gamma Upsilon initiated our first six brothers into Delta Zeta.

A happy addition was the transfer of Wade J Bradford, '84, from Delta Th eta chapter.

The chapter is actively continuing strides toward relieving our housing inadequacy, and with the IRS' ruling that all donations given to Delta Zeta and earmarked for the new house would be tax deductible , even more progress is being made toward solving our monetary defici ency

Strickland , '83, vice president of Psi Chi, national psychology honor ary; Stewart A Harvey , ' 84 , associate editor of the student newspaper, The Plainsman; and Roderick Hastie, '82, campus coordinator for the Folmar Gubernatorial Campaign

With so many activities, it is amazing that Delta Zeta continues to stress mutual a ssistance and strong

diversity. It is because we realize that the key to our strength lies in these basic principals. [Glenn T. Eskew, '84, Corresponding Secretory)

BALL STATE

One of the best times of the year was Sep. 7 for the men of Delta Iota. This was the day before classes began at Ball State. This is the time that brothers get together after the summer talking about summer jobs, other experiences and how good it is to see each other again. That's Beta brotherhood in action.

Among other activities during the summer, a number of Delta Iota brothers attended the General Convention in French Lick, Ind. They reported learning a lot, having fun and living the Beta experience at the national level.

Many plans for activities this fall have been made. Included are rush and pledging, homecoming activities, intramurals, social and a new "study buddy" program. Speaking of rush, we were very successful this year. Our fall class consists of 38 pledges The highlight of our rush season was the Barnyard Bash which included the annua l pig roast.

It was really great seeing all of the Delta Iota alums back on campus and in the house Homecoming Weekend. We enjoyed both the pre-game refres)lments and the post-game dinner dance.

The intramural season is underway and Delta Iota is participating and holding its own. In addition to the social activities already mentioned, several other functions have been planned, highlighted by the Marshall Tucker party. We are really hopeful that the new study buddy program will be successful. The main purpose is to provide a mutual support system to raise scholastic achievements A brother is paired with a sorority girl as a study partner. As usual, the chapter is looking at various ways to maintain and improve conditions of the house Finally, we extend an invitation to any and all Betas to stop in at 900 West Riverside Avenue when in the Muncie, Indiana area. (John F. Schaller, '85, Corresponding Secretory]

BAYLOR

Baylor Betas are involved in an excellent fall semester here on the Christian campus at wonderful Waco. Jerusalem on the Brazos, they call it here-Central Texas. To put it all in a better perspective, things are looking positive in all areas. Initiating eight new brothers has tightened our spir it and brought us into an excellent rampage.

Ov erall, academics are improving. On the social side of affairs there has been a new strategy imposed which calls for fewer, very well organized events. Prominent and most memorable among them was our annual Homecoming Barbecue, which reunited many alumni. A special thanks to all of those who could make it down. This year's float entry for the nationally-renown Homecoming Parade featured a gigantic bee stinging an Arkansas Razorback. Awardwinning floats have been a tradition for countless years. The Christmas Party also is an annual affair.

In terms of campus activities, we are strong and growing. Anchor Splash, Theta-Olympics and all other sorts of inane events-we were there. Intramurals well exemplified our tenacity as the bull roared into the light.

Looking ahead to spring and the blue bonnets blossoming on the banks of the Brazos, we keep shining on, proud to be the brotherhood with the longest continual existence at Baylor University Yes [Carlos E. Juarez, '84, Corresponding Secretory]

The 1982 General Convention at French Lick went better than expected for Chi chapter. We first thank the convention for removing us from the troubled chapters list, and the Houston delegation for its fav· arable recommendation. Beloit was ably represented ! by Gary Raddatz, '83, Michael Fry, '85, Arnold Betz, '84, and Daniel Balson, '84. Another pleasant surprise we experienced at convention was the interest of l alumni. The brothers extend a very special thank you to George Lenard, '80, and William Corlis, '37, for interest in the well-being of our chapter at the convention.

After a slow start the pledge program has begun to grow There currently are 14 pledges -and counting. We look forward to our program and the initiation of these men, who will become the foundation fou our future The chapter would like to thank S. Clay Robinson, '85, for his work as rush chairman.

After a slip in sending financial statements, Walter Tippet, '84, has worked with Financial Advisor Milton Johnson, '49, to send in the proper forms at the right time. We cannot thank Brother Johnson enough for his help in chapter finances.

Overall, things are running smoothly . We anticipate a good year in rushing and academics, and hav €1 a solid foundation in leadership. Though we stil h have minor problems with our house, the repairs over the summer have improved its condition

As always, Betas everywhere are welcome to visit us at 810 College Street.

BETHANY

Fall semester at Bethany is a very exciting time for the brothers of Psi chapter. Beginning with the fall line-up of social events, it looks like this will be another fine rush season. With 52 active brothers, Psi chapter once again is continuing with its traditions of excellence.

In the area of academics, the brothers continue to strive for perfection. Through the help of special study sessions the house average i s on the way up. Psi prides itself in its great unity and, through the help and guidance of some of our older brothers, we hope to improve our academic standing considerably.

The Betas once again are dominating the intramural sports scene here at Bethany. With an impressive 15-0 football record, we find ourselves in first place among the other housing units. The brothers are hoping to capture their fourth straight Intramural Cup with a victory this year.

Social events continue to be very successful. Highlights of our fall social calendar include the Monday Night Football beef roast and our annual Fall Ball. This year the theme of the dance was "Haunted House" and a good time was had by all.

We would like to remind you that this year's Psi Stampede will be held on April 30, 1983. Please try to attend , we are looking forward to seeing all of our alumni again

As always, Psi chapter wishes everyone luck in the school year and extends an open invitation to stop by the house at any time. (David M. Que!, '83, Secretory]

BOWDOIN

The 1982-83 academic year got off to a resounding start for the Beta Sigma chapter of Beta Theta Pi on the Bowdoin College campus. Rush week went extremely well as 27 men pledged allegiance to the Eye

The Beta Theta Pi I Winter 1983

of Wooglin. Much praise is given to the rush committee members who did such a fantastic job. The y are : Jean Roy , '84, Joseph Curtin, '84, and David Callan '84. We hope that this renewed interest in our ternity will continue , and that the pride of Beta will not only remain but will grow and prosp er .

In sports the Bowdoin football team, stock ed with Betas, commenced a new season with a victory and losses. John Theberge , ' 83 , back for h1s semor year as outstanding quarterback and tricaptain, leads the squad at his position He is supported on offense by Christopher Abbruzzese '83 Eric Shapiro, '83, Shawn Horan , '83, David Stix , ',83 'R obert Sciolla, '84, Bruce MacGregor, '84, Dave Callan , and Kerry Lyne, '84. Tri-captain Daniel Looney, '83 , anchors the defense. Joining him are Joe Curtin and Kevin Coyle, '84.

In White Key interfraternity events, the well-known Beta Bullets come to the forefront. They have their usual supporting cast of stars such as Thomas Damato, '83, Steven Marrow, '83 and Robert Ewanouski, '84. Although the football and soccer teams ha ve not actually torn up the turf , this fact has in no way dampened the spirit and enthusiasm that is characteristic of our chapter. All the brothers are confident that Beta will make a run for the overall championship as it has done so often in the past.

This year's Homecoming not only was highly successful, but it also was very satisfying to s ee the many alumni who made the journey back to beautiful Maine to renew life-long friendships. All alumni who could not travel to the festivities are urged to drop in any time to witness the various transformations that have occurred inside the Beta hous e.

Under the steady influence and leadership of President Robert Sciolla, we are optimistic that the 1982-83 year at Bowdoin will be a happy and rewarding one.

BOWLING GREEN

The Delta Delta chapter welcomed the 1982-83 s choo l year with open arms. Many exciting events are happening to start off our second year back on campus. The main event is Homecoming 1982, with the theme being "Our 20th Anniversary in Beta Theta Pi." Special plans are being made for a joyous and memorable event. More about Homecoming 1982 in the next issue.

Fall saw a new face in the life of the BG Betas, and her name is Margaret Miller Margaret is a gra duate student from the University of Kansas, and is serving as our Unit Director. Already nickn amed "Mom," she is the one who helps us with problems that we might have with the university. We welcome her and hope that she'll have a great year with us.

Another happening at the Beta house is the launching of our new alumni n ews l etter Much work has gone into this newsl etter which was des ig ned by Russell Lissuzzo, '82. In the first edition four major articles appeared: news about Homecoming 1982, news about our Unit Director Margar e t Miller, a message from President Joseph Virzi, 83, and a n article about our 20 years with Beta Th eta Pi. The latter has been of much interest becaus e of our 20th a nniversary. We'd like to know if you liked th e n ew sletter or did you get one? If you didn't , give us yo ur home address and we'll send you the next issue

Finally as stated above, Delta Delta has becom e interested in its own chapter history , due to the efforts of our historian. I need your help. If anyone has any information about our chapter, which can be written into a book later, let me know. Just send anything you have to me . Thanks a Jot, for the chapter.

Once a Beta, always a Beta! (Edwin J. Janoch, '83, Secretory)

The Beta Theta Pi I Winter 1983

The Vatican in Rome was the site of a "reu nion" this summer of four Briti s h Columbi a Betas af the class of '82: Gordon Lov e, Scott Fit zs immons, M. Paul Tompkins and D. Bru ce Marsh.

BRITISH COLUMBIA

The Gamma Omicron chapter was hit hard this summer with the loss of one of its broth er s in a tragic car accident. As could be seen by the h eartwar ming turnout at the memorial service, Lorne Campbell, '85, a l ways will be lo ved a nd remembered by hi s brothers here at Gamma Omicron It always is hard to lo se a broth er, especially when one had so m uc h to off er. as Lorne. Pl ea s e r ea d Memory and Mystic Shrine to learn of Lome ' s contributions, not only to Beta Theta Pi but to the fraternity system as a whole.

Many of us were glad to get back to school this year, mainly because summer coordinators , N. Mark Moller-Hansen , '84 , and Graham Thorn, '85, hav e us burnt out from too much fun dur i ng the summ er. Weekly Wednesday outings with the sororiti e s a nd phratries kept us busy , and a summer-end barb ecue/ p arty at the summer home of T. Alan Meikle, '83, was a huge success. The fun, howev er, was not all in Vancouver as can be se e n by the accompanying photo.

Rush Chairman Philip Carhoun, '84, did a tremendous job with rush. We now have a strong and enthusiastic pledge class of 28 We anticipate another

strong year, athletically, as there are plenty of good athletes among the pledges to add to our own list of super stars David Sloan , '82, sports chairman, sees to it that the fraternity stays in shape with weekly intramural runs and a list of sports to play that goes from the floor to the ceiling.

In closing, we extend a welcome to West Coast chapters from Districts XXVII through XXXI, to attend the Beta Theta Pi Conclave that will be held here during the last weekend of February. Best wishes in the new year. (Peter D. Aker, '83, Vice President)

CALIFORNIA

To anyone who might have visited it within the last five years, the Cal Omega chapter would now be unrecognizable. By last June, the building itself had fallen into such a state of disrepair that it was barely liveable. Plumbing between floors had burst, causing entire ceilings to cave in , and decks and porches all over the house had rotted and collapsed. One active barely escaped injury when the railing on "Beta Beach" suddenly ,gave way and sent him plummeting two stories.

Over the summer, the alumni association was able to allocate $70,000 to renovate the buildin,g - a project that had been put off for nine years due to the lack of funds following the purchase of the house in 1973. Now all of the bathrooms have been refurbished, ceilings and plumbing replaced and almost all of the decks have been completely rebuilt. "Beta Beach" has since been renamed "Reta Beach" in honor of Thomas Reta, '81. Additional comforts include wall-to-wall carpeting, a complete set of uniform padlock-free doors for each room and electrical wiring for the basement.

Since coming off of the troubled chapters list last summer, and then finding themselves in more civilized surroundings, the Berkeley brothers have ceased to be a practicing animal house. Door and window blowing are fading memories.

Much of Cal's growing, positive enthusiasm is due to the leadership of Mark Meihaus, '83, whose spirit and dedication have helped to ensure that the Beta tradition will carry on at Berkeley for another 100 years With our newly-initiated pledge class of 11, Mark has promoted first and foremost their sense of being part of the General Fraternity Before their informal initiation , the pledges went through the Pledge, Wooglin and Dragon ceremonies, as well as the Johnson Scene. The new initiates are a very diligent, imaginative group of young men who constantly are finding ways to help and improve the house. For those in the Cal Omega chapter, this sense of direction and purpose indicates a change in everyone's attitude, which means that for the Omegas, things can only get brighter. (Gregory Jones, '84, Secretary)

CALIFORNIA-IRVINE

With the 1982-83 academic year underway, the Delta Sigma chapter is most definitely commencing the year exhibiting a tremendous amount of enthusiasm. Under the leadership of President P. Luke Finley, '84 , the relatively-young executive committee of Patrick Guinet, '83, vice president; William Anast, '85, treasurer; Milind Ambe, '84, secretary; and Laurence Neuman, '85, member at large, already is implementing new policies and expanding upon other facets of the fraternity that could serve to shape the near future of the chapter. For example, a financial policy pro-

posed by William Anast, has been put into effecJ and Housing Chairman Matthew Bures, '83, has spear' headed the establishment of a Housing Fund.

The most important event of the quarter, thus far has been fall rush. Rush Chairman Craig Ferris, '83, despite having to prepare for the D.A.T.'s, planned and executed a very successful rush through which we pledged 16 fine young men . They are under thP. guidance of Pledge Educators Paul Sievers, '83, and Kevin Haboian, '83, who have prepared a very wellthought-out and extensive pledge program. Paul and Kevin's enthusiasm in their new pledge class has 1 without a doubt, served to motivate the pledges for they already have proven to be an integral part of our athletic program, in addition to eagerly planning several fundraisers for the upcoming pledge-active dance.

After receiving the I.F.C. trophy for academic excellence for the fourth consecutive year (for the year 1981-1982), we once again have high expectations for this year. Scholarship Chairman Jack Miller, '84, is initiating a study program for the pledges, and this definitely will serve to provide a strong basis for attaining our academic goals. Furthermore, we are coming off a summer where two brothers were recipients of Founders Fund Scholarships. Milind K. Arnbe received the David Linton Memorial Scholarship ($1,000) and Michael Aratow, '81, received the John R Simpson Memorial Scholarship ($1,000).

Finally, due to the "heroic" efforts of Social Chairman Torn Avazian, '83, the 1982-83 year has started off in grand style. We already have had three successful and, of course, very enjoyable social functions with the DG's, Tri Delt's and the Pi Phi's. The second annual Caddyshack exchange with the Pi Phi's once again was a smashing time!

In conclusion, we cordially extend an invitation to any Beta in the area to our alumni luncheons, which are being held the first Tuesday of each month in Laguna Beach. For more information, please contact ! our office at school. (Milind K. Ambe, '84, Secretary)

U.C.L.A ..

Beta is back to stay! The Gamma Nu chapter re- · turned to UCLA's campus after having its charter revoked a year ago last fall. The stunned and weakened house of just a year ago has fully turned itself ! around, completing a remarkable success story.

This was a goal the active members, alumni, District Chief and concerned others worked for long and I hard. Because of this unrelenting dedication, the •

Gamma Nu at UCLA is rebounding in more ways 1 than one. Here's an action shot of the house's volleyball court.

house continues to move in an extremely positive direction, not only in spirit, but in rush, finances, intrarnurals, house improvements and much more.

House improvements, such as a repainted volleycourt and back-yard walls to a full length basketcourt, could not have been possible without John H. (Jack) Wilke, '51, and Robert M. Srniland, California '78. Our thanks again.

Philanthropy continues to be a priority of Gamma t-lu, as seen last November when an Arm Wrestling Tournament between UCLA and crosstown rival USC was held in our domain. The proceeds went to the United Cerebral Palsy Spastic Children's Foundation.

Winter intrarnurals appear to be a strong point for the Betas again this year producing a quick, tall and scrappy basketball team led by Jeffrey Dixon, '84, and an experienced soccer crew led by Geoffrey Clark, '84.

Gamma Nu's alumni are to be congratulated again lor their numerous efforts, advice and support, along with that of District Chief Bruce Lloyd, Brown '69. Also watch for an upcoming Dragons Tale issue. Finally, we would like to hear from anybody with rush recommendations to keep us moving in Beta ·spiDit. Furthermore, we invite Betas everywhere to come by our chapter house and experience the Gamma Nu spirit first hand! (David M. Harding, '84, Secretary)

CARNEGIE-MELLON

The fall semester for the men of the Gamma Iota chapter started with a very productive Work Week. Many of the brothers returned a week early in order to get the house back in shape after the summer boarders moved out. Special thanks to Vincent Pugliese, '84, David Henderson, '83, Jon Bruno, '83, Theodore Kartofilis, '84, and Donald Savage, '83, for their long hours put into making this week a great success.

Fall at Carnegie-Mellon also brings football. Thirteen Betas are members of our very promising Division III football team. The team is led by Offensive Captain William Kiselick, '83, and Defensive Captain Lee (Ferky) Ferketic, '83. Brother Kiselick and Mark (Tinker) Leposky, '83, who is Kiselick's favorite target, are also All-American candidates.

The brothers are pleased to announce the initiation of four new men, who pledged in the spring.

Rush recently culminated with pledge night - once again Beta Theta Pi had more pledges (36) than any other fraternity on campus. We are all looking forward to having a successful pledge program, after a J·1rather poor one last year. Bruce Crain, '84, is this year's pledge master. Special recognition goes to Rush Chairman David Penz, '83, who was a big reason that rush was such a success.

The brothers are looking forward to intramural iootball where Beta "A" is trying to repeat as champion. Beta "A" is led by star quarterback, Timothy Nagy, '84. ·

The 1982-83 school year looks very promising for the brothers of Gamma Iota who always will remain .::.. mighty glad! (Gerard T. Sansosti, '81, Corresponding Secretary)

CASE WESTERN RESERVE

Aug. 27, 1982 proved to be a milestone in Lambda Kappa-Beta history. With various alumni and Beta officers present, our chapter initiated numbers 1000 and 1001 into our glorious ranks. The joyous occa-

The Beta Theta Pi I Winter 1983

sion was followed by prodigious amounts of food and drink. The Loving Cup Ceremony ended the evening on a high note and, once again , showed our camaraderie. We extend our thanks to all who attended.

Various rush events were planned this fall. The ever-popular band parties combined with the unique Casino Party (and the infamous Beta punch of course) have visibly impressed many fr e shmen. The biannual Brothers vs. Freshmen football game swayed a few battered freshmen our way In addition, potential pledges were invited to partake of at least two evening meals, wher e they usually were exposed to the time honored tradition of the brothers singing, in unison, the "Pater Knox Trib u te."

Seven fine young men decided to accept the honor bestowed upon them by pledging this fall. We heartily welcome the contributions they surely will make, and we look forward to educating them in the ways of Beta Theta Pi.

A large number of our 28 brothers recently participated in a Bike-a-Thon With superb organizational help horn our Little Sisters and matching funds from our alumni, we managed to raise over $600. Most saddle-sore riders look forward to participating in the 50 kilomet e r ride n ext fall.

The brothers of Lambda Kappa-B e ta chapter extend an open invitation to all Betas everywhere to visit and "smoke a friendly pipe with us and drink our loyal ale." (Donald M. (Zube) Zubic, Jr., '84, Secretary)

CENTRE

As we here at Epsilon come back for the fall semester we are looking forward to what has the potential to be our most outstanding year in recent memory With an outstanding core of officers, the fraternity seems prepared to make those final strides which hopefully will propel us into the unquestioned leadership of the Greek community at Centre. Unbridled optimism best express e s the feelings of the Dragon chapter as we follow the outstanding leadership of Walter M. Herd, ' 83 into the 1982-83 academic year

Due mostly, in part, to the untiring work of Alumni Secretary C. Gilmore Dutton III, ' 83, the work on the refurbishment of the house seems finally ready to see fruition. A great deal of credit is due our financial advisor, Edward (Bing) Walter , '67 , and our decorating consultant Mr. Joseph Martin, '50, for their contributions. We look forward to working with our alumni committee whose members include : Jack Bosley, '72, Charles (Chuck) Dedman, '75, R Michael Marks, ' 66, and Dr Sidney Wold , '51 With their invaluable assistance the Beta house surely will becqme the showplace of the campus for which it h11s the potential.

Under the excellent leadership of Social Chairman Todd V McMurtry , '84, the social season at Epsilon is off to the best start in recent memory In the same vein, our rush efforts have blossomed nicely under the most able guidance of Rush Chairman James C. Smith, '84. With the help of these two fine men, we look forward to a most productive rush season this fall.

Athletically, the intramural football team is off to a fine start. Beta dominance in this sport is expected to be the continued order of the day. Intercollegiately Betas remain , as always , strong. P. Scott Heasley, '84, Jeffrey Holbrook, '85 , Nestor (Dan) Worobetz, '85 , and Barry Street, '85, are on the swim team. William 0. Garnett, '84, plays football and Robert Byrd, '83,

CLEM SO

The fall semester is well underway for the Delta N1 chapter, and we are striving to attain the goals whicl we hav e set for ourselves this year. These includ being not only the number one fraternity on campus socially and athletically, but becoming number one i1 academics as well.

The 143rd General Convention proved to be a gre insp i ration for our brothers who attended Presiden Brent A Bobo, ' 82 , Sophomore Fellow Michae (Stump) Trainor, '85, and Michael (Simfu] Simmons '84, had the opportunity to make many new friend ! and renew old friendships as well A number of ex cellent new plans and ideas were brought back to b t implemented by the chapter.

Rush this fall was a great success, thanks to Ed· ward Hood III , '84 Helping us achieve our goals wi l' be our 11 fine pledges under the expert guidance o! Pledg e Educator Kenneth (Slick] Borick, '83. Ken'! leadership abilities proved to be an invaluable ass e1 to the 12 men initiated last spring , and we're confi· dent the tradition will continue. We also thank for · mer District Chief Walton H Owens, Emory '56, fm his inspirational talk to our pledges on study during pledge season. Each pledge came out of th e me e ting with renewed vigor on academics as well as fraternity life .

As for intramurals , the Beta Blues soccer team is undefeated , as of this writing , and looks well on its way to capturing the IFC crown for the fourth yea in a row Many individuals, as well, brought laurels to the Be ta house trophy case . Mike Trainor took the intramural and IFC 142-pound wrestling ship; Lee 0. (Trey) Gaskins, '85, won the intramural and IFC tennis trophies (singles and doubles] ; and W Benjamin Edwards, '84, and Martin (Mort) Bryson,

'83, won the IFC high jump and long jump titles, respectively. Douglas [Coma) Coleman, '83, led the Clemson lacrosse team and was voted the team's MVP as well.

Delta Nu thanks all of the alumni who returned for Clemson's Homecoming to watch the 1981 National Champions beat Kentucky. The turnout was the largest in a long time, thanks mainly to the work of Alumni Secretary James [Lieutenant] Linder, '83, and Alumni Assn. President Robert Unser, '79 We encourage all of our alumni to please contact us so we can update addresses, ensuring delivery of the newsletter.

The men of Clemson extremely enjoyed participating in the Delta Xi Basketball Tournament with brothers of Eastern Kentucky and Carnegie-Mellon, with congratulations going to CMU for capturing the trophy. Delta Nu will be in full force at this year's tourney with 1ts sights set on bringing the trophy back to Clemson.

In closing, we wish the best of luck to our December graduates - Brent Bobo, '82, Thomas Cothran, '82, William Leaphart, '82, and Timothy LoUis, '82. Thanks for your help and guidance. [Michael J. Simmons, '84, Corresponding Secretary]

COLGATE

Fall semester for the Beta Theta chapter started on a high note with Homecoming the second weP.kend in September. A large number of alumni returned for the traditional Beta Cocktail Party which was held on a beautiful Friday afternoon. The highlight of the weekend was the Loving Cup Ceremony where young and old joined together to sing in Beta's praise.

The returning alumni found the chapter house to be in excel!ent shape. This was the result of a summer face lift which included a fresh coat of paint, a new third floor bathroom, the addition of new living room furniture and a foosball table.

The fall semester also marked the addition of 27 new brothers into the house. These brothers were initiated last spring (April 18, 1982) and bring the total number of Betas on campus this semester to 94.

As in the past, Betas are well-represented in activities across the campus. Laurence Freedman, '84, and John Bilello, '84, are vice president and treasurer, respectively, of the S'tudent Senate. Jeffrey Bland, '84, is the IFC rush coordinator and John Hoff, '83, is the starting strong safety on the presently undefeated (5-0) football team.

On a more personal note , recent alumni will be happy to hear that Joanne Lloyd, our cook of the last five years, is the proud grandmother of a cute little girl, Kati.

One final note, any alumni with recommendations for rush should contact newly-elected Rush Chairman Mark Milton, '85.

As in the past we extend an open invitation to all alumni to stop by for a cold one and we hope to see a large turnout for Commitment Night. (R. Richard Mueller, '83, Secretary]

COLORADO

The Beta Tau chapter of Beta Theta Pi is settling down to become one of the stronger fraternities at the University of Colorado since its reinstatement on the campus four and one-half years ago. This year started off strongly with a fine rushing program headed by Jeffrey Cooper, '84, Poe Corn, '84, and

The Beta Theta PI/ Winter 1983

David Santistevan, '83. A large pledge class of 21 men was obtained.

So far this fall a great deal of work has been completed on the house. A welcome addition was the new dishwashing machine which alleviated the headache of cleaning dishes by hand Secondly, everybody in the house contributed $10 to buy a s et of speakers and an amplifier for the dining room Carpeting was acquired for the basement through the efforts of Drake Johnson, '84.

Beta Tau's involvement on campus looks promising this semester. The intramural sports teams headed by Scott Morehead , '84, include two football teams, one soccer t e am and a volleyball team . Th e se teams are anticipating a victorious season to maintain their past r e cord of successes Two members of our house are involved in the Interfrat e rnity Council - Jay Carlson , '82 , and Duane Pankhurst, '84

A strong social life continu e s at Beta Tau Social Chairmen Gary Schwartz , '84, and Jeffrey Bo t toms, '84 , hav e planned a full calendar of functions with the sororities on campus and the Little Sisters, headed by Little Sister Chairmen Thomas Kronen, ' 84, and Dani el Jarmel, '84.

As always, our door is open at Be ta Tau to any alumni and Beta broth e rs who might be visiting the Univ e rsity of Colorado. (Paul R. Dohrmann, '84, Recorder-Secretary)

COLORADO MINES

The fall semester at Beta Phi is proving to be one of our b e st ever Our scholarship program has been intensified to .restore our superiority among fraternities on campus. This includes special att e ntion toward our pledg e s to help them with the Min e s' curriculum. Our intramural teams look very good this year with football , basketball, wrestling and softball being our strong sports. The football t e am started out successfully by winning the first game 47·0 Our success in all sports is the result of ex p e rience in the upp e rclassm e n , plus new tal e nt in the freshman class

Betas continue to make names for themselves on campus by holding various offic e s and particip a ting in v a rsity sports . Lon E. Rosenzweig, '83, Board of Trustees representative; Frank H Presley, ' 83, president of Tau Beta Pi honor association; John Campbell , '85 , sophomore class pr e sid e nt; Pledge Brent A Libby, freshman class presid e nt, Bruce A. Collins, ' 83, varsity baseball ; and William Taylor, '85, varsity wrestling.

Socially, our Little Sisters program has been adding new members continuously since its beginning three y e ars ago. Our big parties this year will include Homecoming, the Barn Party (via Ralph Tolson, '79) and the traditional Ch r istmas Party

As we gear up for our 75th anniversary next year,

a strong effort will be toward contacting alumni for Homecoming We encourage any and all alumni to help us celebrate this occ asi on The Crucible Club has be en extreme ly help ful to us financially and morally, and we look for its continued support in the years to come.

Our pledge program this year is in exce ll ent shape with 17 outst andi ng pledges from fall rush. Although our program has changed over the years, it still produces men of the character for which Beta Theta Pi is known.

Special thanks to our hous emother, Rose Rehm, who always is there when we need her. [Eric L. Geist, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

CORNELL

Homecoming is over, the late August work session week is finished, and mid-term exams have passed. Despite the completion of many projects and events, including the intramural football and soccer seasons, the Beta Deltas look forward to a very full schedule. The most sali e nt of our activities , rush, has just begun in earnest, the hockey season approaches, the dining room awaits renovation and the appearance· of the final exam schedule indicates that the Christmas Formal must not be too far away

House Manag e r Geoffrey Egan, '83 , supervised one of the most productive work weeks in recent history. In addition to the usual cleaning and landscaping, we scraped, primed, and painted the library, card room , pool room , piano room and Great Hall . Also , we repainted the foyer, stairs to the basem e nt and the eye room and chapter room floors. After the application of about 40 gallons of paint, most of the first floor truly looks rejuvenated. We currently are accepting bids for the replastering and painting of the dining

room. The undergraduates will put forth about $2,000 of their own money for this project.

This year's Homecoming was a success by any standard. Our cook , Thomas Kuhn , '84, and Steward ' Edward Coburn , '84, served a splendid dinner to over 125 people A loving cup circle which filled the Great Hall allowed many recent and past alumni to bring back their memories of Beta . Preceding a talk by our guest, Walter S. Taylor, owner of the local Bully Hill Winery , Daniel Loughridge , '81, presented the chapter with an intricate, handcrafted leather coat-ofarms. According to "Dano," this was his most ambitious leather-working project, consuming over 80 hours of his time. Upon completion of repairs, the 1 coat-of-arms will hang over the dining room fireplace .

Rush Chairman Scott Duncan, '84, has extensively utilized a computer program developed by Douglas Olson, '83 , and Mark Ludwig, ' 82 [now at Northern Illinois University), to assist in keeping records concerning rushees The house truly is excited about this year ' s rush , and is fully cognizant of the importance of a large pledge class Scott also is quite appreciative of the 10 rushing which he received.

In his role as athletic manager, Peter Olmstead, '84, must be commended for organizing football , soccer and hockey teams. However, due to a shortage of hockey players , we will combine efforts with Phi Kappa Sigma, our neighbors across the street, to field this year ' s team.

News from the Cornell Corporation of Beta Theta Pi: our charftable , tax-deductible corporation should be close to being set-up by this reading.

We give our best wishes to this year's seniors in the graduate school and job search , and to our new Chapter Counselor Lance Greenberg , '76 , and Financial Advisor Richard Banks, '72. [Eric J. Weiner, '84, Secr e tary)

DARTMOUTH

The Alpha Omega chapter apologizes to all of its alumni because of the irresponsibility in the last few years in submitting a magazine article. The chapter has cleared its financial problems with the General Fraternity and , hopefully, this will be the first of many continuous subm issions to The Beta Theta Pi.

The new school year picked up right where it left off last spring The brotherhood is strong with 63 active m e mbers , including 15 new initiates Dartmouth Betas continue their athletic trad ition with many varsity performers. John Oleniczak, '83, Richard Stafford, '83, Stephen Quinn; '83, Richard Lena, '83, John Kania, '83, James Bloomer, '83, John Asher, '83, John Weiss, '83, Michael Lena, '84, John Corbe tt, '84, Michael Patsis , ' 84 , and David Fuhrman, '84 , have all garnered starting positions on the 1982 Big Green football team Brother Bloomer was awarded the Defensive Player of the Game for his performance against Pennsylvania , and Brother Stafford was given the Offensive Player of the Week for his actions against Holy Cross. Eleven other Betas help round out the squad.

Other fall athletes include Timothy Weihs, '83, captain of the varsity lightweight crew team; golfers, James Sherwood, '83, and Thomas Oppenheim, '83, as well as 10 members of the rugby club. Ken Graham, '85, George Macomber , '85, and Gale [Tiger) Shaw, '82, compete for the varsity ski team. Tiger was named the outstanding collegiate skier in the country last year and currently is taking a year off to ski for the U.S . team.

Socially , the chapter continues to thrive. Semiformals are planned and should be as overwhelmingly

successful as they have been in the past. Beta's famous "midnight punches" still attract a tremendous crowd.

Somehow the fun-loving brothers manage to find time for academics and community services also. Alpha Omega attained an academic record unmatched In recent memory last year, and looks to be headed in that direction once again. A Thanksgiving Day Food Drive is planned, as well as another Beta Work Weekend Hopefully this year's versions will be as successful as last year which netted about $2,000 for the local needy.

We commend all of the outgoing officers, and wish luck to the new ones in the hope that they can uphold the traditions of Beta at Dartmouth. (James Sherwood, '83, Secretary]

DENISON

The fall sem ester at Alpha Eta began with a reemphasis on alumni support and interest. With leaders Charles Marston, '63, and David Richards, '44 , the house looks immaculate, due mainly to Beta Daya day where alumni worked with actives painting, staining, cleaning and fixing. Also, with the genuine interest of the alumni so vividly clear, the active chapter has gained an attitude of responsibility and respect for the house and the fraternity in general.

Homecoming was a total success, with speakers former General Tr easurer Ford R. Weber, '21, Congressman Edward Weber, '53, and Robert VanVoorhis, '32, as guests of honor at Saturd ay night's dinner.

Brother Ford Weber gave a very moving and emotional speech concerning each person's responsibility to the fraternity, and stemming from that , to one's self. It seems that the active chapter truly has tak en these wise words to heart

Campus-wise , rush this fall has been an interesting on e, due largely to the fact that no alcoholic beverages can be served - "dry rush." The chapter has adju s ted beautifully, however, and a strong, large, quality pledge class is anticipated.

Onc e again, humongous roses are in ord e r to the alumni for the guidance and cash flow - b oth are much- appreciated b y the active chapter! Also, roses to David Richards , '45, for his many hours of carpentry and financial guidance that has literally meant the survival of our chapter. (Kent D Krafft, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

DEPAUW

With the first semester well under way, activities seem back to normal at the Delta chapter, where a solid 23-member pledge class fills the house to a capacity 68 men. And thanks to Dale Stackhouse, '84, and Michael Troyer, '84, this summer's live-in handymen, all sorts of repairs and improvements give the house a new look! The two brothers did everything from painting to tiling to general ,clean-up, and it reflects in the overall appearance of the house.

Early this semester our chapter once again was graced with the return of Oscar Chapman, the man who gave so much to Delta during his working years with the brothers. Oscar of infamous Oscar' s Closet acclaim, presented $500 to our chapter out of his overwhelming generosity and we thank him dearly -a man not soon forgotten.

On a similar note, many Delta alumni attended the annual Old Gold Day in September, and shared their experiences with attentive brothers and pledges.

The Beta Theta Pi I Winter 1983

Among those present with the lowest roll numbers were Robert Howard, '37 , Richard Kiger , '38, Joseph T. Ives , '53, and James Fl eece, '60. We thank all the brothers for coming back to visit and want to stress that you are welcome anytime. A good opportunity to visit would be this year's initiation, when Michael Phillips, '65, and Kyle Lanham, '79 , will be the guest speakers For further details contact an officer in the house and we will gladly fill you in.

Scholastically, Delta placed s eco nd among fraternities with a house G P A of 3.08 last semester. High ambitions and many hours of study this semester should place us in the running once again as we shoot for the academic trophy.

As far as athletics are concerned, we are proud of Marshall Reavis , '84, twice named most valuable defensive player of the week as outside linebacker for the DePauw Tigers. George Miliotes, '84, James Miliotes, ' 85, and Pledges Christopher Ciepley, Brian Gourley and William Hughes sported their talents on the DePauw soccer field and did a fantastic job I Although it is too early to t e ll how the intramural season will develop, Delta has gotten off to a great start with a s eco nd place footb all finish. As of this writing, strong performanc e s also were being registered in tennis, ping-pong and bowling. It is highly / probable that Delta will improve on last year's third place standing and win the I.M. crown.

Thus, it once again appears that all is running smoothly at DePauw, with Delta playing a big role in campus functions (Edward D. Krukowski, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

DICKINSON

Dickinson's 1982 fall semester proved to be a time of great activity for the Alpha Sigma chapter., The scope of the brotherhood's enthusiasm and effort found its roots in campus-related projects and endeavors, as well as in the area of nationwide alumni relations.

The diversity and effectiveness of many an Alpha Sigma brother's contribution to campus leadership was impressive this fall. Diligent effort on the part of Brian Yost, '83, secured Dickinson's alternative radio station , WDCV, a power increase of some 440 watts, extending the college voice as far as the state capitol. Input on the Dickinsonian and Microcosm Editorial Boards by John J Balitis , Jr. , '84 , and Brian C. Wilson, '83, respectively, positively enhanced the quality of Dickinson's award-winning newspaper and year book.

Dickinson Betas excelled on the theater stage as well as on the athletic field this fall. Follies drama board members Harold Hitch, '84, and Charles Williams, '84, succeeded in maintaining the innovative integrity of Dickinson's popular theater presentations. The chapter continued to support the collegiate athletic programming as John Philips, '83, turned out for a second consecutive Red Devil football season, and Christopher Smith, '83, Robert Cessar, '83, and Brian Latimer, '85, ran strong for the fall track team.

This fall also marked the first Alpha Sigma newsletter distribution since 1972. All Dickinson Betas across the country received the revitalized publication which updated the chapter's status creatively and efficiently. In addition to the issue's various communicative points, the newsletter also extended the chapter's invitation for its Alumni Homecoming Banquet, hosted with great success in mid -October. District Chief John [Jack) Easton , Wesleyan '58, who was highly instrumental in encouraging the chapter's newly-strengthened alumni outreach, was the banquet's guest speaker All attending Dickinson Be tas were privileged with a passing of the John Reily Knox Loving Cup at the close of the evening's activities.

Academically, fall semester found the Alpha Sigma chapter as sound as ever Several distinguished awards were received by Beta brothers at Dickinson's 1982 Fall Convocation. Gregory Zimmerman, '83, was tapped into Dickinson's chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa , a prestigious honorary society. Several other Alpha Sigmas were named Dana Scholars.

Rush-wis e , the brotherhood's standing is equally as strong, thanks to an active program designed by 238

Rush Chairman Scott Rehr, '85, and supplemented by the well-organized social calendar of Vice President Da v id Byerley, ' 83.

Alpha Si gma alums and all fellow Betas are reminded that the chapter doors always are open here at Dickinson. We encourage your support, and enjoy your company Our home is your home at 41 South College Street . (John J. Balitis, Jr., '84, Alumni Secretary)

DUKE

Finally grass grows outside House D.D. The beach has receded and the land reclaimed To avoid crushing and stomping on the tiny seedlings, the bench has been transported temporarily to the Lo-Lai Court The court has proven to be an excellent place for parties. We have had pig-pickings and hamburger barbecues there after practically every home football game Kais play Lo-Lai until the crowd gets restless and then the court instantly is converted into something rivaling the Ritz dance floor. Grass or no grass, it looks as if the Bench or at least the parties will stay at the base of the hill for quite some time. Giggs off campus at the White House and Mangum Street have rivaled these Saturday afternoons. The spirit left over from last year, for the most part, remains.

Inside the house, massive redecorating has taken place at the university's expense. In the place of the old brown couches , we have blue and black ones. We already have managed to get them a little bit sticky, but they look as if they will be able to stand it better than the last set.

The death of G. Ellard McCarthy, '84, this past summer was a tragedy we all suffered, but strangely enough, it acted as a positive binding force. The memorial service held in the chapel was handled perfectly Robert Levitan, '83, and Paul Kunkel, '83, were the speakers, and generally, the brothers left with a feeling of contentment. A plaque' has been placed on the Lo-Lai Court in his honor. It should add a new dimension to the game.

A number of people deserve our gratitude for keeping the fraternity together this year. President Robert Levitan certainly has done a great job. Malcolm MacDougall, '83, and Thomas Galloway, '85, have kept up with rush and we are looking forward to a good class. The unsung heroes, Stephen Blake, '83, and Edward (Ned) Bliss, '84 , also have done more than their share in organizing social functions.

In closing , any contributions to a memorial fund for Ellard will be very much appreciated (Michael Braga, '83)

EAST CAROLINA

We are now the Epsilon Alpha chapter of Beta Theta Pi as most of you know We petitioned for our charter at the 143rd General Convention, and it was graciously granted. The granting of our charter has not changed , but rather brought out a spark of en· couragement that has been building in our chapter for four years. Five men attended this past summer's convention and the enthusiasm of the convention towards our chapter was brought back to Greenville and spread through the chapter. These five men: Kerry D Naylor, '82, Robert Speight, '83, William Jenkins, '84, Jonathan Reibel, '85, and Lawrence Clay· ton, '83 , thank every chapter attending the conven· tion for their thoughts and recommendations to our

c?apter to it a strong one in our great fratermty. The feehngs felt upon realizing that we had succeeded in obtaining our charter will be seen and remembered in our minds for the rest of our lives.

After last spring's encouraging pledge class of four William Steed, '85, Jonathan Reibel , '85, Kirkland Copeland , '85, and Timothy Dillon, '84, we started the fall with a strong determination towards a strong semester This determination was shown by the tre_w ork of Rush Chairmen Craig Williams, '84, and Wtlham Johnston, '84, in their dedicated planning of our university ' s short four-day rush week in which 16 able men wanting to strive to uphold the name of Beta Theta Pi were pledged.

District Chief John E. Markham, North Carolina ' 67 , has helped us tremendously in the past years. His support and advice to our chapter have put us on the right track, and we feel that we now have a strong base to work on If any chapters have any recommendations on how we may strengthen our new chapter, we would appreciate them at 603 East 9th Street, Greenville , N.C. 27834. [William Jenkins, '84, Treasurer)

EMORY

Gamma Upsilon has had an eventful summer and the fall semester has started off on high notes. Approximately 85% of our active chapter attended the General Convention in French Lick Springs , Ind. On the way to and from convention, we stopped at Delta chapter in Greencastle. The DePauw Betas greeted us warmly and entertained our group with the very first party of their fall semester. We owe a great debt to Gregory Notestine , DePauw '83, and his chapter for their hospitality

Summer rush had its ups and downs, but we are pleased with what we have done. We hosted two pool parties in Atlanta, a barbecue in Miami and a cocktail party in New York. At these get-tog ethers , we met many of the incoming freshmen and transfer students At summer ' s end we were pleased to pledge three men.

Fall semester began with a visit by Administrative Assistant Charles [Chuck) Helman , Ohio '82. He discussed various points of our formal rush plan with us and suggested several helpful chang e s in the rush outline. Our rush functions were improved by the council and support from Chuck. One afternoon , we took Chuck to visit the Georgia T ec h chapt e r and · then to the Varsity for the traditional onion rings, chili-dog, and a large Coca Cola

Even with Brother Helman's expert advice , formal rush was difficult with so few brothers and such large groups of rushees. Fortunately, we received a great deal of support from Georgia Tech and Auburn Also, praise goes to all of our alumni for their pr e sence, patience and participation. At the close of formal rush, we pledged two more men We feel that we have been successful in pledging "well-furnished" men, but we still are striving for greater numbers.

During the summer, we continued to renovate and repair the house. The housemother's suite has b ee n restored completely. John Gazaway, '60 , donated beautiful slate blue carpet. Ken Gilbert , '82, and his younger brother, Charlie, did a great deal of painting and handiwork , and Richard Takamoto , '85, and David Oakes, '83, kept the house running cleanly and efficiently. The chapter greatly appreciates the efforts of William Driskell, '86, and his wife, Mary , who rematted and framed all of our pictures, recovered many cornice boards and fashioned chair rail for the dining room These efforts were orchestrated by in -

terior decorator, Susan McNeese who donated much time and expertise. '

On Sept 26, we had an alumni appreciation party at the house , attended by alumni, parents and families - all members of our Booster Club. The actives presented long stemmed roses to all the ladies, thanking everyone for help and encouragement. We especially appreciate the presence of former General T reasurer Samuel J. McCartney Jr , Dickinson '41 '

Our next major project will be to renovate the kitchen so we can offer full-meal service in the house For this we need alumni support and contributions . We urge all Gamma Upsilon and Atlantaarea Betas to come to the house soon to experience, first-hand, the improvements in the house and in the active chapter affairs. As always, we are proud to be Betas. [Ken Gilbert, '82, Tutor-in-Residence)

EASTERN KENTUCKY

The spring semester, now behind us, can be looked on as very eventful and prosperous. Events which helped form this great semester were Spring Formal, which was held in Clarksville , Ind. A good time was had by all alumni , actives and gues ts in attendance. In sports, we can loo k back on tennis in which Sha wn R. Mountjoy, '84, and Rh ene (Drew) Howell, '84, were two of the best double teams in intramurals. In wrestling we were very proud of M. Anthony Ryan, '85, who won the campus championship in his division .

We also can look back on the initiation of five new brothers as being prosp e rous These brothers already h ave done a fine job, this fall, in filling the shoes of our four graduating seniors - Gregory N Stivers , Scott E. Cook, Gerald L. Hamilton and Douglas L. Holmes. Brother Holm e s, a former president, also was honored b y winning Mr Greek Man On Campus. We are all very proud of Doug , as well as the other seniors, and we wish them well in their future endeavors

The spring semester was highlighted by the Delta Xi wi nning the coveted Gr ee k Week first place overall trophy. We a lso tied for first place in the games division of Gr ee k Week Beta spirit and an ov er -all togetherness of brothers was the win ning combination. It was a well d e s e rv ed win for Delta Xi.

Along wit h the succ es sful spring, we also enjoyed another great summ e r. Thanks to Chairman Thomas Craft, '84 , Summ er Re union again was a rewarding occasion. Partying and skiing on the river, along with the reunion of brothers , were the ingredients for a great weekend. Several b ro thers and alumni enjoyed an inspiring trip to French Lick, Ind. for the 143rd General Conv e ntion We had the pleasure of meeting brothers from Beta's bro a d domain, especially the brothers of the Delta Nu chapter of Clemson, with whom we share a special closeness. ·

Delta Xi goes into another fall semester, setting hi gh hopes and aspirations for its strong chapter Of course we always are looking forward to seeing alumni and meP.ting Betas from the br oad domain , to share some of our Beta spirit. [Louis R. Schnier, Jr., ' 63)

FLORIDA

Fall sem ester was a productive and successful period for the Gamma Xi chapter . A fine pledge class of 19 men was initiated, pushing our active b rotherhood

to over 75 members. A high point in the semester was Homecoming We e kend, which was enjoyed by alumni and acti v es alike. The Gamma Xi house rec e iv e d m a ny a lumni , and we did our b e st to show these older brothers a good time , and at the same time plan our future with the alumni association .

Special thanks are extended to Harold Riker, '36, William Hunter, '56 , Robert Gesemyer, '76, Jerome Loughren , '79, Michael Klimas , '79, and all other members of our alumni association for their devotion and concern for our chapter. During the weekend , a retirement fund was begun for our cook of 18 years, Clayton Small , better known as "Dusty," who plans to retire in a couple of years. Dusty has served the house tirelessly and faithfully, and any contributions to this fund would be greatly appreciated

Also present at Homecoming was John Prunty, '31, the first president of our chapter, and a distinguished alumnus. We wish to thank Brother Prunty for visiting us and sharing his time with the actives.

At the end of fall semester, the brotherhood will bestow congratulations and best of wishes to graduating senior, Mark Burck, '82. Mark, a former president, vice president, pledge trainer and the first recipient of our alumni scholarship, has been influential in all aspects of our chapter, and will be missed sorely by the brotherhood

Looking forward to spring semester, house renovations are planned, including a new downst-airs bathroom and chapter room refurbishing , along with continued success in intramural activity. The Gamma Xi chapter extends an open invitation to all alumni and brothers from other chapters to come and visit us, sharing in the true spirit of Be ta brotherhood.

FLORIDA STATE

The Delta Lambda chapter at Florida State University has been busy since early last spring. The main accomplishment of our spring events was the capturing of the third over-all trophy during the Greek Week Olympics, notable in the fact that while doing so the chapter had a fantastic time, and showed · the superiority of that Beta spirit.

The summer was spent in a chapter and a personal effort to maximize our pledge rush we e k. During the summer individual letters were sent to persons who had indicated they were to attend FSU in the fall. The brothers, at the house, helped the university during Orientation Week, and continued to present the Beta letters throughout the summer

As the fall semester got underway, rush swung into totali ty. The brothers got together and turned the house from a summer refuge into a social place in less than a week , no mean feat. The major areas of the house were repainted, notably that of the library and foyer. With the end of party rush, the chapter had six new pledges with another to join later m the semester - giving the house seven pledges for the fall.

The house , in general, is undergoing several repairs at this tim e , from the redoing of several rooms to repairs in the plumbing. This contmues even now with a majority of the repairs being done by concerned brothers.

Just before Homecoming the chapter participated in an event called Delta Gamma Anchor Splash, a general fun time with several events. The chapter won the T-shirt contest with 100 % participation, and received recognition for its banner displayed in the community. At the Homecoming festivities the chapter performed in many ways. Maureen McGovern,

one of our more active Little Sisters was elected first runner-up in the FSU Homecoming Princess Contest, and our chapter was paired with Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority in · building the float and general partying. The most memorable moments were captured in the "work" parties and the socials that occurred during the week prior to the game.

Greetings from GMI Engineering and Management Institute. The name (and ownership] of the school have changed, but the school really hasn't.

Rush has gone especially well for us over the summer A-Section received 12 "affirmatives" from GMI freshmen, including a non-GM-sponsored student We also are very honored to have been asked to sponsor th e new colony at Central Michigan University. So far five of these men have visited our house . Plans for pledging CMU (located in Mt Pleasant, Mich.] are being worked on by us, the colony members and District Chief James Huffman, '48. Hope we can set a good example

Our house now has new insulation and windows, including a skylight in the new Pledge Room. Thanks to the Founders Fund for a much-needed loan, and to our generous alumni for their contributions. Keep them coming.

This past Zero Section, the one time each year ASection and B-Section see each other, we were visited by Vice President Allen P. Splete, St. Lowrenee '60. We're confident you enjoyed your visit, Dr. Splete, and we wish you success as the new P-residen t' of Westminster (Pa.) College.

Of course, the biggest single social event of the summ e r was A-Section's Miami Triad Party. We at least did as good as B-Section this year. Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi helped us and 300 other people celebrate the occasion - the school's largest party.

Mackinac Island 1983 - last, but definitely not least, we are making plans for the first annual PreGeneral Convention. Fenton, Mich. is "on the way" to Mackinac Island for 90% of the Betas and it's within reach for everyone else Unlike most chapters, Delta Eta is in full swing all summer and we're look-

A final note to Delta Eta alumni - we are revising our address list for all alumni so that you can g et address information more easily from us , and we can get our alumni newsletter, The Be ta Bri efs, more easily to you. Please send your current address (a nd keep us abreast of any change) to the D elta Eta alumni secretary Also, let us know what's going on! We can't keep alumni informed about alumni unl e ss we have something to inform them of!

Well, that's about it for now. Hope to see you all next summer! (Robert W. Caven, '84, A-Section Secretary)

GEORGIA TECH

As the brothers of Gamma Eta returned to Georgia Tech and Little Tara to begin a new school year, we knew that we had a strong reputation to uphold. Having been named as Georgia Tech's most outst andi n g fraternity for the sixth year in a row in 1982, we finished spring quarter ranked numb er one among fraternities in scholarship as well as in athletics.

Wanting Little Tara to look her best for the upcoming fall rush, a week of clean-up and fix-up was the first order of business. The house was scrubbed from top to bottom with new coats of paint being applied wherever needed A special recognition and thanks is extended to Stephen 0. She etz, '82, for his dedicated effort in planning and sup e rvising the work.

Before this "Work Week" was even ov er, however, rush was upon Gamma Eta. Getting a jump on most other fraternities, a band party was plann e d for the first night that attracted n ea rly everyone on campus. The rest of rush followed equally as strong with the four-day "dry" period, only serving to lesson the crowd of non-serious rushees. Robert T. Hutcheson, Jr., '83, and Clyde A. Sheehan, '84 , should be prais e d for their outstanding work in planning as well as leading the chapter through this very important period. Due to the superlative effort put forth by the chapter, Gamma Eta pledged 29 of Tech's finest young men , bringing our total chapter strength to 100 men.

Gamma Eta extends special recognition to the nine brothers slated to graduate in Decemb e r They are: Russell E. Brockelbank, William E. Hemp , John R Ingram, Richard J. Reynolds, IV , Robert D Ryder,

Stephen 0. Sheetz , H. S cott T emplin, Kirk S. Thornbu rg and David W Whealan

May Wooglin smile on you in all you do (David C. McCollum, '85, Corresponding Secretary)

HANOVER

The members of Beta Theta Pi here at Hanover have been quite busy this fall The brothers came back early, as is tradition , to do house jobs and various projects for the exterior and interior appearance of the house. The painting of the shutters was quite a project, but it has made the house look much better.

On the social scene, we recently welcomed back our alumni for Homecoming The Betas, young and old alike, enjoyed a pig roast and plenty of refreshments.

With the upcoming graduation of 20 seniors, we are looking toward a large pledge class Iota started the year off right with a victory in the annual Gr ee k Games. The Betas won the week of activities by mor e than 100 points with victories in pie eating, l egs contest, bike race, chariot race and the obstacle course. With this victory, we have become well known on the campus.

Our rush season officially opened with a pizza party for the freshman m e n The turnout to this and other activities has b een very promising.

Th e hous e thanks all those alums who made the trip ba ck to make our Homecoming a fun and eventful ex p erie nc e. (Timothy W. Bowers, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

HOUSTON

On b e half of the Delta Upsilon chapter, we would like to exte nd our h eartiest welcom e to our new chapters at th e University of Maryland and East Carolina. You both deserve commendations for a job well done

Even though during the past year our chapter has risen to new heights, we still have one n agging problem and that is the lack of a house. For months now we have been searching for the "perfect" house close to campus and hav e n ot had any success. Neverthel ess, through thick and thin , our alumni came shining through Our founder, John A. Gram! , SMU '62, our chapter advisor, Gregory R. Wettman Ill, ' 75 , Bruce W. Weltman III, '70, Madison Wright, SMU ' 58,

Robert E. Bartnett, Florida '51, J Craig Foster, '76, and Juan C Uriarte, '78, all deserve the highest praise for their work on getting us a house and bridging the tide in the meantime. We may not have the biggest alumni association but we certainly have the most dedicated and strongest group With alumni like these we have no doubt that we will have a house shortly.

In spite of this apparently obvious disadvantage , the Delta Upsilon chapter has been flourishing. As long as we have a brotherhood as strong as ours, the sky is the limit, house or no house For example, our fall rush has produced our second largest pledge class and quite possibly the best. Moreover, we enjoy the distinction of being the only fraternity on campus to have had as many as four mixers with sororities during the fall semester.

In intramural competition we already are off to a fast start. This year's Delta Gamma Anchor Splash, which is a swim meet to raise money for eye research , was won by Beta Theta Pi. Strong performances were turned in by Eric J. White, '83 , ·1J. Keith Montz, '83, Todd C Mathews, '85, Dean P Aitken , '85 , Randall D. Collins, '85 , and Stephen A Zoerb, '86 Also for an unprecedent e d fourth year in a row, we won the Most Spirited Fraternity at the Anchor Splash. (And for the fourth year in a row we also lost our collective voices!) It is our intention to finish in the top-three in intramurals this year if not win it outright. Consequently, we are entering every sport we can find

This past summer and fall have ushered in many new aspects to the Delta Upsilon chapter. Road trips have become commonplace for us Our first major jaunt was to New Braunfels where we enjoyed our first annual Canoe Trip This was followed by a road trip to Austin for the University of Houston-TU game [Eat'em up Coogs!!) and a weekend of Oktoberfest in the German Hill Country. Other road trips to away games are in the works Unfortunately, UT Arlington is not on our football schedule so we will not get a chance to see our good friends at the Delta Rho chapter. Then of course we caravaned up to French Lick for the General Convention and were pleased to have one of the largest del e gations there

In closing , I would like to announce this year's

winner of the Delta Upsilon Outstanding Brother Award. It goes to Andrew Villareal, '81, for all the work he has done for us and the selfless contributions he has made. Congratulations, Andrew, we are proud of you. [Jerome A. Dunn, '85, Corresponding Secretary)

IDAHO

The start of the school year is going very well for us at Gamma Gamma, and very fast, as time is really flying by It seems like only yesterday we were in the middle of rush, working hard to recruit pledges capable of becoming great Betas. We feel that we did a good job , thanks especially to the super effort by Rush Chairman Donald Morse, '84, as we pledged 18 freshmen. Total in-house count stands at 62 with 17 other actives living out of the house.

We extend thanks to all the alumni who attended both Homecoming and Fall Initiation. Those attending Homecoming were treated to the first Vandal Big Sky win in over a year One of the key factors was Lance West, '85, starting offensive tackle. We are very proud of Lance's success under the new coaching staff, and wish him all the best in the games to come. Those who attended Fall Initiation witnessed the 13th Newhouse, John Ross, '85, join the ranks of those worthy to wear the badge and bear the name Beta Theta Pi. John is the son of Robert G. Newhouse, '56, of Boise. Other new initiates include Pat McEntee, '85, son of Larry McEntee, '50 , and Michael Hamby, '85, cousin of president Rob Bartles.

Some of the major events happening in the spring semester include: Spring Initiation, tentatively set for Sunday, Feb. 13, Parents Weekend April 17 and 18 and graduation May 15. All alumni are cordially invited to attend these events. Of course you don't need a special invitation to come back to your college home; if you happen to be passing through or near Moscow, please stop in.

As mentioned in the last issue, we are offering ink prints of the chapter house in two sizes: 8 x 11 for $8 0?, and 11 x 17 for $15.00 All money from this proj-

act will be put back into the house for remodeling repair work.

, Starting next issue, I would like to introduce something that, as far as I know, has never been done with the. alumni. newsletter. This is something that I hope will contmue for years, but it requires the assistance of our illustrious alumni. It is what I would .like to call our "Celebrity Spotlight," where every 1ssue we honor one of our alumni who has the chapter, and has carried the Beta spirit w1th h1m throughout the many walks of life. If you know of any brothers you would like to see honored, please send us their names plus some background information. For that matter, send us some information about yourself so that we can at least fill in the chapter roll book, but more importantly to keep tabs on your success in life and, hopefully , to establish communications with you. I cannot stress enough how exciting it is for us to hear from a brother, or how funny it is to hear about some of your escapades during your college years . So please, take a minute or two and jot us a note to let us know what you are doing.

ILLINOIS

The Sigma Rho Betas are soaring through another semester. Under the direction of President Thomas W. Shepardson, '83, the chapter house has undergone many major improvements. A . Denton Green , '83, and Tony L. Dilulio, '83, have built a beautiful stadium-seating T V. room equipped wi'th cable facilities. G. Williams (Bill) Howard, '56, provided the funds for the refinishing of the baby grand piano which, thanks to Jeffrey Howard, '85, arrived just in time for rush. Donations from the Parents Association bought the chapter a fine new weight set, and a good deal of landscaping equipment. Our new initiates have provided the chapter with a new backyard basketball court.

On the social scene, David Williams, '83, and Damian Bresnan, '83, have set up sorority exchanges , a parking lot party and a fantastic football block with the women of Kappa Delta. The brothers owe J. Andrew Harden, '83, special thanks for organizing a great Dad's Day Weekend including an enormous tailgate party at the game.

As a final note, the men of Sigma Rho congratulate James Hellene, '83, for his election to the HomecomIng Court, and for his handling of Governor James Thompson's reelection campaign on campus, Richard Lemkuhl, '84, for being selected to the cheer!eading squad and Robert Kumaki, '82, one of 10 seniors to receive fellowships from the university. As one can see, the Betas of Sigma Rho are thriving and eagerly looking toward growth in the months ahead. (Brian J.

INDIANA

Fall semester here at I.U. has resumed under the same conditions as last May, leaving Beta as a leading fraternity on campus.

House improvements this semester include a newlyoutdoor barbecue on the west side of the Also, adding to the beauty of the interior of Great Hall has been refurnished, the entire inhas been repainted and the ladies restroom has redecorated. We wish to thank our corporation for without its help these improvements be nonexistent.

Looking at athletics , Pi continues its dominance in intramurals after an outstanding performance last year, in which Beta received the most intramural trophi e s on campus Beta has finish e d well in wrestling and tennis so far, and looks to cleanup in flag football and volleyball for a successful first semester finish

Socially , Beta is maintaining its reputation as a leading house on campus aft e r a successful pairing with Phi Mu Sorority for Homecoming and the annual Roman Orgy dance already completed. Other social events this s e m e s : er include weekly exchanges with sororities as well as a Barn Dance in October, and the traditionally beautiful Christmas Dance in D e cember.

Academically, the brothers are experiencing a growing concern for scholastics , and looking for a much improved GPA to include Beta in the top-ten wh e re it belongs .

P i w e lcom e s the 10 newly initiated brothers, as of Oct lOth, from the spring pledge class of '82, who are proving to be ou tstanding in all aspects. Thanks to Rush Chairmen David Morrical, '84 , and David Fleish e r, '84, Beta's pledge class e s are overflowing with quality candidates. Always welcome are recommendations from any alumni. (Christopher A. Deveny, '84 , Corresponding Secretary)

IOWA STATE

The men of Tau Sigma starte d off their second year of sem e sters with the pledging of 25 men and the activation of five new brothers. These newest memb e rs have shown great enthusiasm and already have started making major contributions to the chapter Their input has been especially appreciated in the series of chapter workshops that have been held. These workshops have helped a great deal in making Tau Sigma even strong e r by expos :ng some of the weaker aspects that have developed through the years

Thanks to the hard work of John Roost, '85, and Bryan Danielsen , '84, we have instituted an even stronger song program which includes serenading one or two sororities a week and an area nursing home once a month . This practice has come in handy when we've had dinner guests Some of the more prominent guests have been Johnny Orr, ISU head basketball coach, and Reid W Crawford, assistant to the president. We also hope that this singing will propel the Betas and the women of Delta Zeta to a Varieties '83 victory

Varieties isn't the only university activity in which the Betas have been participating Under the dir e ction of W. Mark Handy, '83, an excell ent Homecoming banner was made with the Daughters of the Diamond and although other intramural teams haven't faired well, the Beta softball team showed its dominance again by winning the Class-A, . AllUniversity 1-pitch softball tournament. Betas also are serving on numerous university committees. Some of these are : Terry McAlister, '83, Campus Chest general co-chair; Brian Beattie, '83, and Jon Bos, '83, Homecoming central; Michael Buckmaster, '84, Engineer's Week central; Thomas Samuelson, '84, Veishea central; and Lee Ward, '83, Varie ties central.

Finally, the fall semester would not have been complete without the return of alumni for Homecoming. It all started Friday evening with the alumni trading stories with each other and us The next morning was spent at the traditional tailgate party. Of course, there was the football game which was followed by a barbecue and the annual Alumni Meeting. The weekend then was officially closed with the

passing of the Loving Cup The memb er s of Tau Sigma always enjoy Homecomin g bec a use of the chance to meet old and new friends and always welcome their r e turn throughout the year. (Michael

IOWA

The onset of the fall semester at the University of Iowa once again brought the brothers of Alpha: Beta together for another year of activities In a festive and close atmosphere, the active chapter joined with its new pledges to celebrate their newly -found friendships with our Pledge-Active stag F e llowship and song abounded as the chapter relaxed before settling into its scholastic responsibilities.

A seasonably warm September brought a close to the Alpha Beta pledge class of 1982-83. The newlyformed class was officially closed with the acceptance of 23 fine young men. Under the direction of Pledge Educator Daniel F. Finnane, '83, the pledge class was closely instructed in its learning of Beta, its lore and its waJs.

The beginning of a new semester also meant the beginning of a new intramural race. With the guidance of Intramural Chairman Robert R. Stephens, '84, the chapter worked hard in an attempt to' produce its best year yet. The football team started things off on the right track as it won three games in its first three outings With only two games remaining in their division the Betas will be making a strong push for the All-University playoffs.

University of Iowa Hawkeye football games provided much entertainment for brothers, alumni and parents alike. Highlights of the semester were an Alumni Cocktail Party after the Homecoming game and a salute to parents at our Parent's Day tion. The Alpha Betas take much pride in these activities, and would like to encourage any parents or alumni interested in seeing the chapter house to stop by whenever they find themselves in Iowa City.

More important than any other aspect of the semester was the chapter's commitment to scholarship. With the help and inspiration of Scholarship Chairman Tracey G. Welton, '85, the brothers made higher scholastic achievement their number one priority throughout the course of the academic year.

The fall semester saw the second printing and mailing of the Alpha Beta News, a recently initiated alumni newsletter. Editor Steven R Nelson, '83, worked closely with a newly organized staff to continue our effort to inform and involve Alpha Be t a alumni everywhere. (Scott M. Teasdale, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

KANSAS

The Alpha Nu chapter is looking to the 1982-83 school year with high hopes and expectations. Under the leadership of a strong senior class and newlyelected officers: President James Liggett, ' 83, Vice President Thomas Welton, '83, Treasurer Bradley Padgett, '83 , and Pledge Trainer Craig Stewart, '84, we are striving for excellence in all areas - academic, athletic and social - in our attempt to remain one of the premier fraternities on campus.

We are pleased to have pledged an outstanding freshman class The pledges, having been at school for a while now and having made it through their first tough test sessions, finally know what college is

all about It is a difficult adjustment to make in the freshman year, but they are all doing an admirable job, and the active chapter has nothing but praise for them. This year's rush chairman, Jeffrey Long, '85 , would appreciate any suggestions on rushees that our alumni could give.

We are getting off to a good start academically Alpha Nu is known for its academic excellence, and we are working especially hard this year to ensure winning the University's Chancellor's Cup We also want to give ourselves a shot at the Virginia Tech Award

In intramural athletics the Betas also are off to a good start in defense of our all-sports title. In trying to win our fourth consecutive All-Sports trophy, we a lready have won the intramural track meet, and are looking strong in both football and soccer. The brothers are especially keyed up for football after having been upset last year, and also are looking forward to the defense of our volleyball and basketball titles from last year.

This year will see us teaming up with the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority for Encore. This is a variety show comp et ition between fraternity / sorority teams that takes place in the first part of the spring semester. Four teams are allowed in the final competition, and we have made it in each of the past four years, though it was previously under the traditional name Rock Chalk, Martha Bricker is beginning her fourth year as our housemother Mrs "B" is a real sweetheart and we 1 are all happy to have her back Also, our new cook, Charles Marshall, is doing a fine job.

On Oct. 24 we will be hosting Seth R. Brooks , St. Lawrence '2 2, and Lloyd Kirk, Kansas '55 It will be a I great experience for our chapter to have these two outstanding Betas stop and speak to us. The following weekend will be Alumni Weekend, and hopefully, it will be a great success. Brothers remain very important after leaving the house, and we always enjoy the visits of our alumni. We encourage all former Alpha Nu's to stop by when they get the chance (Christopher S. Korte, '85, Secretary)

KANSAS STATE

Brotherhood and spirit are among the qualities which are leading the men of Gamma Epsilon to scholastic and intramural success during the 1982-83 school year as they attempt to maintain a top fraternity status on the K-State campus

Under the leadership of Scholarship Chairman David Sandritter, '83, the K-State Betas are striving for a first place finish in grades among the K-State fraternities.

After winning intramurals last year, the men at 500 Sunset are hoping to repeat as intramural champs and claim their 17th title in the last 18 years.

Under the tutelage of Intramural Chairman Noel Schreiner, '83, we are off to a strong start after capturing the swimming title and the 2-on-2 volleyball title.

In the swim meet, Jeffrey West, '84, Frank Gunn, '85, Pledge Bradley Jenkins and Pledge William Lundy teamed up to win the 200-yard freestyle relay enabling the Betas to repeat as champs.

The 2-on-2 volleyball competition was an all-Beta final for the second straight year as Stephen Oehme, '83, and T. Brett Heath, '82, played Michael Wilbur, '84, and John Geiger, '82, for the title.

The Betas also hope to preserve their string of 42 wins without a loss in team-volleyball, and repeat as champs for the eighth year in a row.

The Beta Theta Pi I Winter 1983

This year K-State Betas will be competing in the annual University Sing with the women of Kappa Delta After a second place finish last year, we are striving to regain the title

Gamma Epsilon won the North Dakota Award for the most outstanding chapter magazin e for the seventh straight year. Recognition for this achievement goes to Keith Wagner , '83, and Max Martin, '84. These two individuals also deserve thanks for making the Alumni Banquet a huge success. The men at 500 Sunset always enjoy the comradeship of alumni and encourage them to visit the Beta house at any time.

Jeff West and Frank Gunn, this year's social chairmen, deserve recognition for organizing another successful event, our Christmas Formal.

"Mom" Randall is now in her se co nd year as our housemother and is doing her part to make the year an enjoyable one.

Twenty-seven excellent young men , under the guidance of Pledge Educator Mark Weeks , '84, are soon to become Betas. The chapter feels they will make many contributions to assure another successful year in scholarship and intramurals , to be attained through brotherhood and spirit which always has been the tradition of the Gamma Epsilon chapter. [Lawrence A. Boyd, '85, Corresponding Secretory)

KENYON

Beta Alpha began the 1982-83 academic year with a renewed Beta spirit. Four of our actives travelled to French Lick, Ind for the 143rd General Convention.

Parents, alumni and other guests enioyed a Homeearning Picnic with chapter members at Beta ' s "Temple in the Woods" at Kenyon.

Dauglas Sm ith, '83 , Mark Gallivan , '83, David Kuhn, '84, and Charles Barr, '85, brought back many new ideas and a new understanding of what Beta brotherhood is all about

The fall semester was full of activity for Kenyon Betas. Rush was quite interesting this year as we courted the friendship of five legacies and several other outstanding prospectives. It all culminated with th e acceptance of 13 pledges and the start of the pledge education process

Th e fall also saw a Beta-dominated v ars it y football team and increased chapter participation in campus government. Onc e again the Kenyon chapter can boast af the highest G.P .A. on campus. A s core of 2.95 topped all other fraternities, as well as surpass ed the all-college average by quite a margin. David Edwards , '84, returned following a severe automobile accident and a semester af recuperation . Mark Mastrorocco, '84 , transferred to the University of Michigan. We wish both of these brothers the b e st of luck .

The foremost project this fall was the continuing restoration of our "Temple in the Woods." Alumni Se cretaries G Taylor Johnson, '83, and John Dulske, '85, oversaw the publishing of an alumni newsletter which hopefully will promote the vital support needed from our alumni. Numerous work days at the Temple made some progress, but the real restoration projects are too in volved to b e und ertaken by the actives

We strongl y urge any member of Beta's broad domain to stop by and visit us in Gambier. We also would gratefully accept any inquiries in regard to our Templ e restoration project. (David M. Kuhn, '84 , Secretary)

KNOX

Upon arnvmg at Knox Coll ege, the brothers were welcomed with hearty news . Mark Chelmowski , '81, was appointed Recent Graduate Trus tee for the colleg e. Xi chapter also was informed that seven of its members were named to the Dean ' s List for spring term 1982 Ronald Niebow, '85, Shane Nug ent, '84, Peter Schneid er, '84, Charles Ackman, '83 , Kim Kost, '83, Jesse Dabson, ' 83, and John McGuire, '83, each attained a G P A of at least 3.67 during spring term. Xi had more members on the Dean's List than any other fraternity.

Eric Muehlbauer, ' 84 , was honored by the college for his academic and athl etic excellence during his sophomore year. Brother Muehlbauer received the K Club award for excelling in two varsity sp ortsfootball and baseball , and for attaining the highest G .P .A. among all two-sport athletes. Joining him on the football field this season are 11 actives and three pledg e s - all of whom are letter winners

Fall term proved to be extremely busy for the chapter. Rush began the second week of school and will culminate with pledging on Nov. 6 House renovation and improvements have greatly occupied our time. The chapter concentrated on repairing water damage resulting from last winter's freezing temperatures that reigned havoc upon our plumbing and steam heat ing system. The chapter also is having a fire alarm system, that will be tied into the local fire station, and interior fire doors installed over the winter vacation in order to comply with the fire code. Once again we thank our alumni for their continued support. [Shane V. Nugent, '84, Corresponding Secretary)

Everything is looking up at Beta Chi this semester. The brotherhood seems tighter than ever with everyone helping out with repairs , rush, and of course, social activities

Physically, the house is in excellent condition as a result of renovations by both brothers and pledges. So far this year we already have built a beautiful bar, painted much of the downstairs and a cold dorm into a game room that sports a pmg pong table, foosball table and a pinball machine donated by one of the brothers.

The house is active in sports both for the university and in intramural competition. Michael Wettengel, '83, and Pledge Todd Schupbach .the varsity lacrosse team Michael Coryell, 84, Wilham Jeney, '84, and Pledge John Clarke recently finished the fall season of varsity baseball. , After two first place finishes in intramural boxing, James Driscoll, '83, is looking forward to putting his pugilistic to work for the boxing club. Intramurally, Beta Chi is looking to improve a rather disasterous year which saw us drop from the top-five houses for the first time in eight years . House spirit is high toward intramural activities in our quest for the President's Cup.

President Gary Povirk, '83, Mitchell Miller, '82, Peter Floriani, '79, Michael Coryell and Thomas Brown, '84, attended the General Convention at French Lick, Ind. this past summer. The quintet came back thoroughly impressed by the gathering, and hopes to recruit other Beta Chi brothers for next summer's convention

Plans are underway for a second (and hopefully annual] Alumni Dinner. The one held last spring was a big succ e ss, and the brothers are confident that the upcoming affair will be just as successful. As soon as a date is set, Beta Chi alumni can count on an invitation being sent to them

Rush is going extremely well this year with Rush Chairmen Thomas Brown and Michael Coryell looking for a banner crop of freshmen [Thomas Farrell, '84, Secretary)

LOUISVILLE

The brothers of Delta Pi returned to school this fall feeling a need for tradition. An outcome of this feeling was chapter elections. Once again Mark Wehrley, '82 , was elected president for his " final year"; David Calhoun, '84, vice president and pledge educator; Edward Jackson, ' 83, reelected as chapter treasurer; and Robert Fuller, '82, alumni secr e tary. Both Wehrley and Fuller currently are working with area alumni in the formation of a Louisville-area alumni association. With the help of George Chescheir, Centre '40 , they are attempting to formalize an alumni organization with the goal of petitioning for a charter at the General Convention of 1984. We hope that all area alumni will help us reach our goal.

The chapter pledged five men during fall rush. We are most pleased with our pledges. They have shown a tremendous amount of dedication and enthusiasm for the chapter Initiation of these pledges will be held in mid-February All alumni are encouraged to attend

In intramurals, the Delta Pi chapter is off to a slow start. However, we did take second place in golf and eag e rly are awaiting basketball where we have lost only two gam e s in the fraternity division in the last five years.

We thank Bruce Perkins, '76, Glenn Spradlin, '80 and Austus Mosley, '76, for dropping by the house . Bruce came by after one of Louisville's football games While going through some of the composites, he retold some of those stories that today are cher· ished memories. Glenn Spradlin dropped in to help with our World Series get-together, while Austus Mosley happened to be in town and ran into Mark Wehrley on campus. They went over to the house and squared off in a game of foosball. (Austus is still pretty good for an old man!)

In closing, we wish all brothers and alumni thP. best in 1983, and encourage all Betas living in the Louisville area to come by the house and say "hello " We're looking forward to seeing you! [Jeffrey Buck· ner, '84, Corresponding Secretary)

MAIN E.

The Betas at Maine are back for another productive year, scholastically as well as socially. Beta Eta once again has compiled a grade point average higher than that of the Men's Average and fourth among the fraternities.

Upcoming social events include Parents Weekend, Homecoming and our Betas Going on Vacation Party just before October break. Parents Weekend will include a luncheon and cocktail party as a pre-football_ game warm-up.

Athletically, Beta is stronger than ever. The golf team, headed by Michael O'Neil, '83, Paul Perry, '85, Andrew Frawley, '84, and Michael Lombard, '85, won the intramural championship. Strong finishes in football, soccer and bowling, combined with the victory in golf, have put Beta among the leaders of fraternities in intramural points.

Our varsity athletes include Ronald Chicoine, '84, the number one player on the tennis team; John Ilvento, ' 84 , and William Meter, '83, two fine soccer players ; and Arvid Cullenberg, '83, captain of the wrestling team for the second year.

Fall rush has produced a strong pledge class of nine under the leadership of Pledge Trainer James Lavangie, '83.

In conclusion, thanks are extended to all alumni for their generous support. We are hoping for the best from the new school year Good luck to all.

The fall semester began with a tremendous rush week for the brothers of Beta Upsilon. This year's goal of 15 pledges was satisfied with a group of young men that are sure to bring honor to our chapter and Beta's name. Our rush was so successful due to the tireless efforts of Rush Chairman William Maimone, ' 84. He coordinated an entirely new rush booklet and the best summer rush we have had to date. The activities ran smoothly and provided everyone involved with the opportunity to actively meet the freshmen while having an enjoyable time. Our traditional rush week trip to George's Island highlighted the events with a clambake and athleti!; activities. Prior to our rush activities, all of the brothers returned at the end of August to donate their time to an extremely-productive Work Week. House Manager Mark Bouchard, '84, set a fine example with his never ending energy and persistent drive to accomplish more. Aiding Mark were Wrenchmen Michael Flanagan , '85, Dimitri Kazarinoff, '85, and Andrew Levy, '84, all of whom gave the house some priceless con-

A Projected $151,672 Has Been Contributed to Beta Leadership Fund During 1982

The projected $151,672 in contributions to the Beta Leadership marks another record giving year and enables the underwriting of the BLF programs for 1982 . Beta alumni have once again recognized the importance of the BLF to the continuing strength of Beta Theta Pi's "Broad Domain."

Donations Support Programs for Excellence

The following BLF programs aim to instill in participants a heightened understanding of the meaning of fraternity and to teach skills necessary for sound chapter management.

Leadership Orientation

Our fraternity is fortunate to have a dedicated corp of District Chiefs. Their individual guidance and counsel to chapters is invaluable. To augment the District Chief's efforts at chapters where additional counseling may be worthwhile, eight Betas in graduate schools are annually selected as Tutors-in-Residences. The Tutor-in-Residence lives at the chapter house where they counsel the chapter members on a consistent and personal basis. Each fall the newly-appointed Tutors-in-Residences and District Chiefs are invited to the Administrative Office in Oxford, Ohio for a two day orientation.

Sophomore Leadership Fellows

Every Beta chapter has the opportunity to select an outstanding undergraduate brother as their representative to the annual General Convention. Following their participation in the convention ' s legislative and fellowship activities, the Sophomore Leadership Fellows return to their chapters and share their experiences. The ongoing process of revitalizing chapter spirit, manl!-gement, and leadership is thus continued.

Regional Leadership Workshops

Each year, two regional Leadership Workshops offer the opportunity for undergraduates to discuss the challenges of dynamic chapter m:1nagement with their peers, General Fraternity Officers , and Administrative Office Staff.

More and Better Chapters

Our fraternity has as a goal the objective "t o increase the number and quality of chapters." To meet that goal requires travel by General Fraternity Officers and Administrative Office Staff to universities and colleges to investigate potential sites for new chapters and to help existing "Tro ubled Chapters ."

Programs Strengthen Beta Theta Pi

Each of the BLF programs inspire undergraduates to continue the passing on of the history, tradition, and opportunities for individual growth essential to Beta Theta Pi , in accordance with those " objects worthy of the highest aim and purposes of associated efforts."

Can We Improve On Our Success?

We can refine and broaden the BLF programs to offer even better learning experiences to more undergradu ate s.

As of this writing, 5,589 (6.5 %) of the 86,257 living alumni contributed to the BLF in 1!382. The obvious path to increa sing the BLF is through " strength in numbers. " More contributors will equal mor e dollars. If yo u haven 't contributed , please consider doing so.

Let's make 1983 another record giving year for the Beta Leadership Fund.

More on Edward Ellis Smith

Dear Brother McClung:

I have read with great interest your article titled "Edward Ellis Smith's Intriguing Life" [Summer 1982 Issue). If it was a shock to you to learn of his death, you can well imagine mine when I tell you of my connection through many years with him.

I was his high school principal when our school was a junior-senior organization, and so I had daily _ contact with him for six years. He was outs t andingly active in many organizations during that period and I came to know him quite well

When men from the West Virginia chap te r asked for a recommendation on Ed, I said, "I'm not quite sure how he will fit into chapter life. He will either be the chapter prP.sident or he can be one of the problems in the house. I'm be t ting he will be the former and so I am recommending him ." Ed was chapter president and we laughed many times over my recommendation.

Through all the years following his graduation we kept in touch , even when he was in Russ ' a and later in California When he came on rare occasions to Parkersburg, he alwa y s came to see me I really knew [much) about his acti vi ties [Once) when I drove to San Francisco, I was unable to make contact with Ed who was even then doing some underco ve r work.

I was desolate at the funeral and at the unopened casket. Your tribute was comprehensive and wellwritten I have yet Ed's last lette r in my files Living with a man daily for six years enables one to form a positive opinion and I knew Ed very well, and shall always cherish his memory

Yours in - kai -, Dwight 0. Conner Ohio University '24

tributions. Our major acquisition was an old ice machine which was put back into working order. With the support of the alumni association new storm windows were put over all of the main house windows . We all look forward to lower fuel bills and warmer rooms. We gratefully thank the alumni for helping us improve our Beta home.

As rush week drew to a close, the brothers prepared for the fall semester's academic and athletic activities. In keeping with our customary intercollegiate sports involvement, we have an extremely large number of brothers participating on the sports teams. Patrick Fowler, '83, was this year's golf team captain and Mark Bouchard was the captain and number one skiier for the cross-country ski team. We also have brothers on the soccer, cross-country, track, football and crew teams. Many are enthusiastically participating on the intramural teams, thanks to Sports Chairman John O ' Leary, ' 84. We have football, soccer, tennis and cross-country teams now, and we look forward with earnest anticipation to the icehockey season in which 90% of the house participates. We congratulate David Krall, '82, and Snehal Patel, '85, for completing this year's Boston Marathon Academically we are continuing our tradition of Beta excellence with a house cum of 4 .3. This is consistent with our past achievements and significantly higher than the M.I.T average.

On and around campus we have been very busy. Michael Lopez, '83, has initiated a new M.I.T. shuttle to pick -up those students and members of the faculty who live on the Boston side of the Charles River. This shuttle is a totally new innovation from the · old method of walking across the Harvard Bridge on those blustery winter mornings. Daniel Kramer, '83, and David Eisen, '83 , have extended their campus activities to Wellesley College. Both are disc-jockeys on Wellesley's radio station WZL Y We also welcome Dan and Dave home from their spring term of studying abroad in London On campus we have been well-represented by Richard Steines, '84, our General Assembly representative, and William Maimone , the IFC representative.

Socially we have retained our reputation for being a highly popular and active group of men. Under the special guidance of Social Chairman David Eisen, we recently had our Zombie Party and we are looking forward to the introduction of a Thanksgiving semiformal. A highlight of this fall semester was our semiannual Cape Cod trip that was planned by Vice President Andrew Levy. Everyone bathed in the sun, ate scallops, played soccer and braved the 60 degree water. A fun time was had by all.

Locally, President Steven Silberberg, '83, has rejuvenated our neighborhood relations efforts. With renewed enthusiasm the brothers are now more eager to help maintain positive contacts with the neighbors. All anxiously await the dance marathon which will be organized by the pledge class They hope to raise money for a charitable community organization

In closing the Beta Upsilon chapter extends an open invitation to all of its alumni, and to all the Beta chapters to come visit us for a week-end or just a quick meal.

MARYLAND

Greetings from the University of Maryland - the Delta Omega of Beta Theta Pi. We extend our thanks to all of the undergraduate delegates , who unanimously voted to grant us our charter this summer at the 142nd General Convention at French Lick Springs.

This is our first appearance in the Magazine as a chapter and, like I say in every issue, things are going better than ever

With most of us staying in the area working, the summer was dotted with sev eral informal parties, nights in Georgetown and just "hanging out." The highlight of the summer was the General Convention which all but two of our brothers a tten ded Our brothers held four convention offices , including William Shechtman , '83, who was floor manager. In addition, President Dean Langdon , '84 , rec eive d a $500 Founders Fund Scholarship and the chapter (then colony) won first place in the singing competition. The climax of the conv e ntion came for us on Friday when we were unanimousl y granted a charter. Jack (District Chief John K ) Easton, Wesleyan '58, Colonel Steve (District Chief Charles S ] Stevenson, Western Reserve '41, and, of course, Chuck (Charles D ] McKelvey, Pennsylvania State '77, we couldn't have done it without you!

With chart e r in hand, we r et urned to Maryland to start our first semester as a chapter. And so far, things have been going great. Our first accomplishment was our presentation for the University IFC, where again by unanimous vote, we were elected full chapter membership. At this writing, we are involved in Homecoming with Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity and Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority and in a danc e marathon with Kappa D elta Sorority Also, thanks to Social CoChairmen Bill Shechtman and Bradford Pechacek, '83, we have our first fully-planned social calendar which includes events with some of the best sororities on campus.

Intramurals also have been going extremely well. We cleaned up in swimming with Pledge Joseph Droter carrying first in five events. We also won first in badminton for the second year in a row , thanks to badminton ace, Adam Wolf, '84. We curre ntly are entered in football , soccer and volleyball, with a shot at the playoffs in all three eve nts.

Fall rush was our most successful ever, thanks to the hard work of Rush Chairman James Karanikas, '84, as well as the e fforts of the entire brotherhood We initiated eight fine m en , including several freshmen, on Oct B

The highlight of the fall s e mester was our installation ceremony held in a large hall on campus. The ceremony, banquet and dance were well-attended by officers from the General Fraternity, area alumni, members of the Univers ity of Maryland Gree k community and all of the Maryland actives , pledges and dates.

While we have yet to find adequate housing, we have localized most of our brotherhood into three apartments close to campus. As always, we extend an open invitation to all Betas who wish to enjoy our Maryland hospitality and experience a strong new chapter. (Neil Sekhri, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

MIAMI

The brothers of the Alpha chapter once again experienced a rewarding fall semester. Individual and group efforts by the brothers , both active and alumni, played a large role in the new appearance and enthusiasm of the house. This enthusiasm carried us on an upward trail, which in turn , keeps our house and brotherhood strong

Throughout the fall semester Guy Spitler, '54, volunteered his time, knowledge and s ervi ces to the chapter, spending countless hours on the repair and restoration of the hous e itself We also are very

Miami's Retiring Housemother, Mrs. Margaret C. "Mom" Clemons.

grateful to have had a chance to get better acquainted with Brother Spitler. Another happening that enhanced the appearance of our property is a result of the hard work of Lawrence Hanrahan, ' 83. Lawrence took the initiative to make some much-needed lawn improvements When he completed this task, the lawn looked 100% better With the continued help from brothers like these, along with the generous support that our house corporation gives us, our 150year-old home will last forever.

On a sad note, during the summer the brothers received a Jetter of resignation from our beloved housemother, Mrs Margaret C. Clemons, who has served 17 unselfish years. She always will be remembered for her dedication and loyalty to Beta Theta Pi. In recognition of "Mom" Clemons, Otto A Jung, '83, and Andrew B. Winans, '83, organized a special Homecoming reception that recognized her as the guest of honor. This reception included flowers, serenades, presents, a slideshow and touching speeches by House Corporation President Charles W. Isaly, '66, and Jeffrey H. Sherman, '83. The weekend ended with brothers, old and new, giving their respects and thanks to Mrs. Clemons for her Jove and devotion to all of us here at the Alpha chapter.

Another exciting event was the activation of four new men Congratulations to these men.

This activation festivity was followed by an always enjoyable occasion - Parents' Weekend. The brothers, under the direction of George L. Esler, '83, and Jeffrey Sherman, will sponsor a day full of activities to accommodate the parents. The activities will include a champagne brunch, football game, post game reception, serenade , dinner and a slideshow, followed by a Red Skelton concert at Millett Hall.

Academically, the brothers are expecting an overall improvement This is due to a more serious attitude throughout the entire chapter. Also, by midOctober, three seniors already have secured job opportunities for the future. We hope to have a more complete list by Christmas.

In summary, the attitude and enthusiasm of the brothers is rising in many ways. This will push our chapter to remain as a dominant fraternity on the campus of Miami University. (Steven G. Gibbs, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

Starting the year off right, the Lambda chapter saw its numbers increased by 13 in September. The new brothers already have shown great interest in the house and there is no doubt that they will take on significant positions in house leadership quickly Commendation goes to all of the brothers, especially Rush Chairman Mark Ruzzin, '84, for their effort in making fall rush (typically the weaker of the two yearly rushes) a big success - 9 out of 10 bids were accepted. These men will be trained during their Beta pledgeship by Edward Hayman, '84, who has promised them an exciting semester.

The Lambda Betas hosted family and friends during our annual Parents' Weekend, entertaining them with football and fine food. A good time was had by all and credit goes to Vice President Michael Engelsman, '85, for a job well done. Parents who had seen the house in the understandable upheaval of moving-in were surprised and relieved by the great improvement in the condition of the house. Their compliments served as an inspiration to the brothers to keep up the good work.

The chapter is gearing up for some excellent parties. The Miami Triad, held this year at the Sigma Chi house , will see the Betas, Phi Delta Thetas and Sigma Chis hosting the Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma Sororities for an evening of dancing and merriment. A Halloween costume party and our annual Red-Neck bash are being planned. Social Chairman Andrew Gremel, '83, is thanked for his hard work putting a much-needed pledge formal back in the works. The brothers also are looking forward to a road trip with the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority to Ohio State for the ever-exciting Michigan / O.S U face-off. Go Blue!

Athletically, the Michigan Betas have a good chance of regaining the All-Sports IM championship this year, which was previously won in '79-'80 and '80-'81. Our softball team is heading into "A" playoffs coacl,ed by Athletic Director John Hindle, '84, who is looking forward to a s imilar performance in up -coming football

Alumni showed their spirit and ability in so'tball and golf this summer at the annual Alumni Weekend which was a great time for all able to attend. Alumni always are welcome and encouraged to stop by the house and visit any time, for' yeu are our heritage.

Let me say in conclusion that I wish all chapters of our great fraternity a prosperous and enjoyable year in - kai -. (John C. Schmidt, '85, Secretory)

MICHIGAN STATE

Fall term for the Michigan State Betas started out strong with the Gamma Psi chapter pledging 11 individuals. Rush Chairman Andrew (Happy Rush) Prentice, '85, and Pledge Educator Jonathan (Chip) Vicary, '84, did a fine job in getting quality men through the program, making this the third largest pledge class on campus. The pledges were led by Pledge Class President Daryl Arnett, '84.

Michael Bauer, '85, was selected comptroller during the middle of the hectic fall term. Bauer, House Manager Robert Kusza, '85, and Mark Sturtz, '85, are doing a terrific job keeping the house looking clean and in topnotch condition.

Our Little Sisters program, begun two years ago, has recently been on the decline until Adam L. (Hawk) May, '84, took over. May and his competent

Although the MSU-U of M football game wasn't to liking, the good times b etwee n th e Gamma Psi Lambda Betas were. The pl e dg e trip to Toronto's Zeta also was great. Thanks to those chapters letting us stay , and we invite any interest e d chapto visit us in East Lansing.

the MSU varsity football program was havdifficulties winning, the Beta Theta Pi team was more fortunate Athletic Chairman Jeffrey Henderson, '84, has thrown together a fine squad. The defens e, led by Donald Finkbeiner, '85, and W Todd Fisher, '84, was tenacious . The offense , und e r the reins of Terence Dixon, '84, and two-way starters , Daniel Washburne, '83, and J. Todd Plaunt, '84, did the job when it needed to be done.

Parents Day went without a catch. Social Chairman Daniel Reitz, '84, Assistant John Getsoff , '84, and Senior Vice President Dan Washburne did a fine job with this and all fall events, especially Homecoming

With the help of Alumni Liaison Richard Shirley , '84, Homecoming was a complete success We enter e d the float building competition with the Kappa Deltas and had a respectable entry. With the fine turnout in alumni and alumni donations we were able to purchase some beautiful new furniture. We really appreciate all your efforts and the fact that you show e d up so strongly.

Any alumni having suggestions for or needing information from the house please get in touch with Richard Shirley.

Lastly, congratulations to Charles (Chuck) Wilt , '82 , and James Hathaway, '82, on their graduation . The brothers of Gamma Psi wish you good luck (J. Todd Plaunt, '84, Secret ary)

MINNESOTA

Beta Pi chapter in Minneapolis is lo o king super! We hav e had an excellent summer and a great start into fall quarter. Chapter enthusiasm is high as we had a fantastic rush, a fine homecoming and major impro vements made on the physical structure of the house.

We can't stress what an excellent rush we had We gained nine summer pledges and 11 fall pledges We are planning to find three to five quality men to join this enthusiastic pledge class of 20. Needless to say, Rush Chairman Paul Barber, '84, did and is continuing to do a superb job

Homecoming was a festive occasion this year under the l ea d ership of Homecom ing Chairman Michael Roloff, '85 . We teamed up with another fraternity and a sorority to build a huge front outside of Beta Public recognition was high.

Homecoming festivities ended on a fi n e note. Social Chairman Brian Sherburne, '85, organized a successful dinn er and dance at the University Club in St. Paul.

The summer months brought incredible impr ovements to our chapter house The alumni spent $5,000 for t he r ep l acement of the roof and second and third floor hallway carpeting We can't thank our alums e nou gh! All rooms, h allways and stairwells received a fresh coat of paint. The house is looking grand as the brothers contributed several hours of their time Credit is due to President David Engler, '84, as he led the house improvement work sessions .

On a sad note, we regret the loss of one of our alumni, Pete r F. Greiner , '51. Brother Greiner, age 56,

Homecoming decorations in front of the Beta chapter house at Minnesota this fall caught many eyes , including those of a cameraman of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune , in which this photograph appeared. Th e play on words from "Home Sweet Home" related to the main theme, which was Dom esticate the Ind iana Hoosiers, this being the first year the Minnesota Gophers played in the new Dome. As can b e readily seen from the group of Betas who happened to be on the scene when the photographer came by, enthusiasm is not lacking at the Beta Pi chapter.

M I S S I SS I P P I

The Beta Beta chapter at the University of Mississippi got off to a good start for the '82 fall semester by bringing in a pledge class of 37 fine young men. These men are important not only because they represent the future of the Mississippi chapter, but also because they are the first to go through a newlyrevised pledge program. As always there is a great emphasis on knowledge of the General fraternity, academics and campus involvement, but this year there is an added emphasis on the history of our chapter. Pledge trainers Richard Burson, '84, Ronald Good, '85, and John Gilbert, '85, are using a system of merit points to encourage studies and activities among the pledges.

Improvement seems to be the main word among the brothers. This fall a lot of work was done to the house such as new doors , painting the walls and staining our deck. Improvement in the form of ideas and programs also are occurring. One of Jthese is the new pledge program. Other ideas were brought home from the Ge neral Convention by our representatives, W. Randal Boyles, '82, Warren Backer, '83, Rick Burson and Marty Anderson, '85.

Other changes here at Ole Miss include the recent elimination of summer rush by the Interfratern'ty Council. We still will have our annual state-wide rush party here at the house , but all other parties at the house or hometown rush parties, have been abolished . The IFC voted for this in order to keep the rising cost of being in a fraternity down. Without summer rush, we are more dependent on alumni recommendations and we encourage their participation in rush.

In fraternity sports , the chapter's intramural football was very successful. The team, under the coaching direction of Michael Wamble, '83, went to the play-offs for the fourth consecutive year.

In closing, we'd like to express our gratitude for the fine work of the 1982 officers - Mike Wamble, vice president, Jeffrey Young, ' 83, and Mark Christian, '84, treasurers, Daniel Smith, '84, and James A. Shirley, Jr ., '84, secretaries and especially our President Randy Boyles.

Also, we encourage the alumni to keep in touch with us. We enjoyed having you at the house for the ball games this fall. Come by and see us or write us as we always are anxious to hear from you. [James A. Shirley, '84, Corresponding Secretary)

MISSOURI

The 1982-83 school year has produced several changes and positive developments for Zeta Phi. The active chapter returned to Columbia after our delegates made a strong showing at the 143rd General Convention. The Missouri chapter was awarded Most Improved Scholarship, Second Place in chapter publications and Dr. Ferdinand Del Pizzo, Washington (St. '58, one of this district's outstanding alumm, was elected a Vice President of the General Fraternity. In addition, three members were awarded Founders Fund Scholarships : Jonathan Valuck, '83 , Thomas Schott , '83, and Steven Cockriel, '83 Early

in the semester the Betas elected to do Greek Fling, a competition held during second semester, with the Chi Omega Sorority. Perennially the champions of Greek Sing, we have presented ourselves a strong challenge as we try to match our singing feats In Fling. Philanthropy projects have been a weakness of Zeta Phi in recent years. However , under the direction of William Stahlhuth , '85, this year's philanthropy, Battle of the Bands, raised $1,545 for Cystic Fibrosis. Alumni Weekend, organized by Alumni Secretary Michael Hayob, '85, was held on Oct. 2. The weekend was a success, as 25 alumni were welcomer! beck to 520 College . -

In intramural cross country, Matthew Waterman, '85 , and Brian Kenney, '84, led the Betas to a first place finish For the second year in a row, Mark Steinmann , '82, and Steve Cockriel met for the handball championship. Last year Steinmann was the champion, and this year the title went to Cockriel. In intramurals Betas are currently in second place Intramural Chairman William Glenn, '84, points out that second semester sports are always our strongest, and he is relying on house spirit to correct the point difference Hopefully, by the time these words are published, Zeta Phi will be back on top.

In varsity sports, Anderson Ekern, '83. an offensive tackle , was chosen as offensive captain of this year's Mizzou football team. Daniel Roling , '84, has proven himself as low qualifier on the varsity golf team . John Marquardt , '84, a shortstop on the Missouri baseball team , was selected as a member of the U .S .A . College Baseball Team, and toured Europe and the Far East with the team this summer. Special congratulations in this elite group of athletes go to James Lumpe , '82. James was drafted by the Montreal Expos last spring, and has just completed his first season of profess ional baseball

Homecoming finds Betas firmly in the picture. Thomas Schott and James Chailland, '84, have been selected as Homecoming King finalists. Out of 10 king and queen candidates, two are Betas and two are Beta Little Sisters.

There are 37 new pledges this fall. With the guidance of House Manager Curtis Humphrey, '83, and Pledge Trainer George Wolf, '83 , we expect to mold them into superior Betas 1981-82 was an outstanding year for Zeta Phi. It is with high expectations that we strive this year to match or improve on last year's 1 record (John H. Dalton, Jr., '84, Corresponding Secretary)

NEBRASKA

The 1982-1983 school year promises to be another 1 successful term for the Alpha Taus of Beta Theta Pl. Summer rush went extremely well this year. Twenty-five men were pledged and are a most promising group of future Betas. We appreciate all alumni recommendations sent to us this year. Recommendations are of great assistance to our rush chairmen and aid us in getting quality pledges each year.

Our number one house goal this year is to regain the Virginia Tech Award This award is given at the General Convention to the Beta chapter with the highest house GPA. We received the award last year but relinquished it to Westminster this year. But we were close and ended up in the top-four Beta chapters in scholastic standing.

In intramurals we are, at this time, In the top-three of all fraternities at UNL. Drew Stange, '83, T1m Brown, '83, Michael Minnick, '84, and John Waring, '85, combined to become the 1982-1983 All-Unl· versity golf champions. William Bonness, '85, is the 1982-1983 All-University punt, pass and kick champion.

Pledge Warren Stiles, Bill Bonness, '85, and Pledge Donald Kennedy are seen here when helping - with many others of the chapter - the Lincoln Parks Dept. in cleaning up Woods Pork and Pool. It was one of several community service projects planned this year. The Woods Pork was donated to the city by a Nebraska Beta family.

Under the able leadership of Mark Jepson, '85, intramural chairman, it appears that we will be in the forefront of athletic competition on campus.

An exciting social program also has begun this year. Our traditional Dynamo Party was held again in Lincoln. Dad's Day, Beta-Theta Spook Halloween Party, exchange dinners and periodic study-break ice cream socials with sororities are a few of the exciting events we've had this year.

For philanthropies we recently spent a day cleaning up a local park. Another Sunday we sold honey to raise funds for the mentally-retarded. Plans are being made for a Beta Fun Run, a 5 kilometer run on campus this spring with all proceeds donated to a local charity. Our philanthropy program chairman this year is Bill Bonness. We realize our commitment to the campus and community, and participate in at least one major philanthropy per semester

With much regret we announce the death of our Beta Sweetheart Nellie Marie Washington. Nellie ably served as the house cleaning lady for over 40 years. She passed away on Aug. 12, at the age of 87. She was a very close friend to all Nebraska Betas and will be missed by all.

The 1983 Homecoming will be the time for the Alpha Tau chapter's 95th anniversary Plans are being made now to celebrate this milestone and for all alumni to gather in force in Lincoln to renew fraternal bonds to our great fraternity. Details will follow in the spring but we hope that you can plan now to attend!

We appreciate the great support of our alumni. Your devotion to the chapter keeps us in a leading position among fraternities at Nebraska. We hope that you can attend the 95th anniversary on Homecoming Weekend, 1983. See you then! (John F. Ditt· -.a, '84, Corresponding Secretory)

NORTH CAROLINA

As fall rolled into Chapel Hill , the brothers of Eta chapter looked forward to another fine semester in all respects. The house has enjoyed an outstanding beginning , socially and academically , picking up the pace from last spring. Rush Chairmen John B Stedman, '83, and Daniel J. Stac k house, ' 84, a re to be commended for another suc ce ssful rush, bringing 14 fine young men into the h o use Numbered among these are several varsity athletes including Pledge Edwin Stewart and Pledge Edward Cox on the tennis team. The addition of these m en ensures solid Eta involvement in Tar Heel athl e tics for years to come.

Even though it seem e d impossible after such a fine spring, socially. Eta is off to its best start in recent years Among early notable e v ents were a Sorority Bid-Day mixer with the KD ' s and a tour "Around The World" with Chi Ome g a , as well as several allcampus band parties Social Chairmen Kirk G. Summers , '83, and Samuel T Hillers, '83, have a superb schedule planned for the r emainder of the semester in keeping with Eta tradition.

The house also realized continued academic improv e ment last spring, mo v ing from sixth to fourth overall among 27 fratern iti e s Scholarship Chairman Todd M. Blair, '83 , has promised to ensure that our priorities do not suffer during a semester so heavily bated with social lur e s. Intramurals ar e off to a fine start as well , with the Blu e One football squad entering the play-offs undefeated.

The fall s e m e ster appears to be continuing in the same fine fashion that the broth e rs enjoyed last spring. The house officers continue to work closely with district and financial advisers to strengthen the fiscal position of the house and to provide for needed capital improvements. With football season in full swing and house operations running smoothly, all is going well at Charles Barbee's "dome-icile ." [Richard L. Mack, ' 85, Secretory)

NORTH DAKOTA

Fall sem e ster now is well underway. Rush started out rather slowly this y e ar but as all the freshmen and undergrads witnessed the expansion of the house, I hypothesize that they figur e d this must be the institution to join . As it turned out, we recruited 18 fine men Rush is over for now, but we have men in mind for spring semester.

Athletically, we are quit e active in all of the intramural sports Hockey is coming up - one of our strong points last year. We won the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash for the second year in a row. Also noteworthy is the semi -marathon fifth place finish )Jy President Marc A Conati, '85

Homecoming marked the 6oth a nniversary of our b eloved house. and 99th birthday of the University of North Dakota. At the socials and banquet, we experienced a r e cord alumn i turnout. I hope they were all pleased by the pro gr e ss they have made poss ible.

Speaking of progress, the new addition is all framed up, and a couple of loads of bricks and insulation were just unloaded In a f e w more months we are hoping to have it look as we kn e w it someday would, back in the fall of 1980 when all this began.

After two years without a kitch e n , it sure will be nice to have some hot meals and no mor e groceries to buy I hope Piggly Wiggly doesn't then go out of business.

For Halloween we're r enting a bus and traveling

down to see the South Dakota Betas, which always is a fun time

Hope to see ev eryone within range stop by the house whenever convenient. Thanks again for aU your support and great everlasting Beta spirit. (Brent D. Roninger, ' 85, Corresponding Secretary)

NORTHWESTERN

The brothers of Rho chapter were greeted upon their return to the shores of Lake Michigan by both news of tragic events and great hope for the future . In late August, a mere three weeks bef!?re the start of school and rush week, our lounge was completely gutted by fire; heat and smoke damage was extensive on the first floor Nobody was in the house at the time, and only the building's cement-block construction saved the rest of the structure. It was determined later by fire inspectors to be the work of a nine-year-old arsonist. Fortunately, our alumni group, Rho Association, is always active in the affairs of the house, and they were there to take control of the situation when it was needed . Within three weeks, all the debris had been cleared out of the area and the Betas could proudly look at new lighting, ceiling tiles, windows, wallpaper and carpeting in the lounge , not to mention new and improvf!d wallpaper and brick tiling in the entranceway. For these great efforts, our sincere thanks go to all the members of Rho Association, and especially to Norman Freeman, '35, for his exceptional work on the fraternity's behalf.

Just as that was being taken care of, rush was upon us. Under the strong leadership of Rush Chairmen Marcus Ziegler, '84, and W Bradley Hawkins, '84, we pledged 19 fine young men. This is about what we have done in the past, but this year rush was restructured and most houses fell below their expectations Overall, thP entire fraternity system did not get as many pledges as it usually does , meaning that Beta got a larger share than usual.

We enter this year under the leadership of House Advisor Daniel Kovacevic, ' 81 , now a graduate student here at Northwestern, and President John Kowalski, '83. Other top leaders, all very capable and hard-working, are Vice President Michael Bayne, '85, Pledge Trainers Don Brown, '84, and Robie Evans, '84, and Treasurer Richard Birnbaum, '84 With these and others leading our house this year, · we are sure to keep up the Beta spirit that has characterized Rho chapter in recent years. [Edward H. Belanger, Jr., '84, Secretary)

OHIO

Upon returning from a fun-filled and exciting summer break, Beta Kappa turned its thoughts toward a, hopefully, productive and certainly enthusiasti c fall quarter Forern'osl on the minds of the brothers was a success£ul fall rush, and successful it was I

Under the direction of Rush Chairman Christopher Gallic, '84 , Beta Kappa gained a pledge class of 22 outstanding young men. This was undoubtedly the best rush of any fraternity on campus! Best of luck to Pledge Master Robert Mason '84, in guiding these men through the arduous, yet satisfying, pledging process.

From a social standpoint , fall is always an exciting quarter. With "punk rock" and "boxer short" teas already behind us , brothers' thoughts have turned towards the annual Roman Orgy Date Party. Togas 268

are mandatory, as are fun, brotherhood and foo · fights!

As has been the case for so many years, Betll : Kappa sports can be described in three words - thE legend continues. We currently are fielding cham pionship teams in football, tenms and water polo We were also the victors in the recent Greek Wee)l competition for the sixth year in a row!

All in all, Beta Kappa is stronger than ever! [Gary L. Rhodes, '84, Secretary)

OHIO STATE!

Spirit in the Theta Delta chapter has reached th highest point of the past few years within a Bets house more diverse, and yet more unified, than any during the same period.

Following a large spring graduation, the chapte1 considers itself in a rebuilding year for the 1982-85 academic year with two-thirds of the active rnem hers in classes 1984 through 1985.

This fal'l we have enthusiastic Betas returning from as far away as Los Angeles, Calif., Orlando, Fla. / - Walt Disney World, Sandusky, Ohio - Cedar Point, and Honolulu, Hawaii.

We our enthusiasm will be . passed on not only to the six pledges now preparing for initiation but also to our fall pledge class. We expect to pledge 30 strong new members, having already attained more than half of that goal.

Academics are especially being stressed this yea1 to both actives and pledges Having upped our ac· adernic ranking among the "Scarlet" fraternities [those houses with 54 or more members), we are very optimistic.

The "all-star T.G " party, invitational to the most outstanding young women on campus, was a great success again this year thanks to the 200% efforts of every Beta in the chapter.

Homecoming this year is in participation with th e Sigma Delta Tau Sorority. We have an enthusiastic float crew that hopes to improve up o n last year's fourth place rating. The theme is "Under the Big Top "

In athletics , the chapter's #1 football team looks in fine shape for the 1982-83 season, hoping to propel its five-season undefeated record into a sixth. The #2 team, undefeated last year, hopes ta make it two seasons undefeated. Other sports include promising bowling , basketball and racquetball teams

The chapter extends a spirited "welcome back" to two actives returning · to the house to graduate as O .S .U. Betas - Arnie! Mokhiber, Jr., '82, and Second Lieutenant William Stilson, '81 [John M. Rawlinson, '84, Secretary)

OHIO WESL E Y A N

As the fall term at Ohio Wesleyan begins , the Thete chapter welcomes 18 new actives into the house Thus bringing the total membership at 9 William! Drive to 49 The brothers settled right in upon thE discovery of a new set of living room furniturE acquired over the summer Along with the furniture the house also purchased a new 21" color televisior set.

The Theta chapter congratulates its new house offi· cers - President Richard Vail, '83, Treasurer Kar Potraz. '83, House Manager David Lusk, '83, anc Social Chairman Bradford Longworth, '84. The housE also welcomes Jeffrey Davis, '80, as our new hou&i adviser.

On the intramural scene the Betas are proving their dominance on campus. To date the football team is undefeated and is looking toward the school title The soccer team, however, is off to a slower start with a 1-2 record.

Recently the state of Ohio raised the legal drinking age to 19, prohibiting many freshmen to drink. The university followed suit and ordered all fraternity rush parties to be held without alcohol. The Theta chapter was not hampered by the new policy and has been offering a wide array of non-alcoholic rush parties. These parties ranged from "home movie night" to a hayride. A full and well-rounded pledge class is expected by term's end.

Scholastically the Beta house is keeping up with past performance and is among the top of the 12 fraternities on campus All the brothers are confident that this performance will continue through the fall term. [Matthew

OKLAHOMA

The good brothers of Gamma Phi are enjoying an excellent fall semester. The beginning of the school year brought in a new group of fall officers. They are: President Brooks Mitchell, '83; Vice President Jeffrey Dietert, '83; Treasurer Rob Robertson, '84; Social Chairman Bernard J. O'Hara, '84; and Intramural Chairman R. Brent Rody, '83.

The chapter is proud to announce that we have pledged 42 of the most outstanding freshmen on campus. Our chapter also has managed once again to have more members in chair posit ions of the Campus Activity Council than any other fraternity These include Steve Rahhal, '84, Rob Robertson, Jeffrey Roberts, '84, and Kenneth Feagins, '83.

Gamma Phi also is proud of the many improvements done on the chapter house. A new dining room floor has been installed, and new furniture has been ordered for both the dining room and the living room. Our yard has been totally re-landscaped. The bricks of the house were water-blasted over the summer to provide a new look to the outside of the house . Also this fall, we have a new housemother, Dorothy Cartwright, from Hugo , OK. The brothers have made her feel welcome and hope her stay will be a long and happy one.

Our social calendar has been filled with many successful events, highlighted by our famous Barn Dance weekend, the biggest party at OU. Another party Gamma Phi enjoyed this fall was Victory Party, the annual OU-Texas bash in Dallas. This fall marks the 75th anniversary of the Gamma Phi chapter In recognition of this, a party will be held in Oklahoma City with alumni and actives in attendance. Each Gamma Phi alum will be sent an invitation including all of the details.

Last semester, the chapter finished in the top-third in grades How e ver, the house is continually striving toward higher goals. Under the l e adership of Scholarship Chairm e n Boyd Whitlock , '84 , and David Peck , '84 , the chapter's ambition is to attain a 3.0 overall house grad e point

The intramural sports race , alwa y s a topic of interest at 1207 University, is heating up this fall semester. The brothers , with e y es set on the All-Sports t rophy, are striving to regain the trophy with number one showings in the fall sports

Major accomplishments in the area of sports thus far have been strong show ings in billiards, track and handball. Football , soccer and a host of other sports have yet to be finished , but one may be sure that the Betas again will be in cont e n ti on for the All-Sports trophy.

The chapter also is excited about scheduled dramatic productions and social activ ities. This year the Betas and the women of Pi Be ta Phi are setting sights on a Varsity Review victory , while the chapter enjoys a good time at the Fall Party, Barndance and Turkey Pull

The men of Gamma Lambda encourage our alumni and Be tas everywhere to "d r op in" and see us. We hope our alumni e njoyed Homecoming and Alumni Day this year. [Ronald D. Peterson, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

OREGON

With the fading of summer tans , Beta Rho is anticipating an exciting and rewarding fall term And to begin the year , the word a round the house was "rush ." At this writing , 24 n ew collegians have be en pledged by Beta Rho This strong rush effort could not hav e been achieved without the help of William Schaub , '73

Along with the new pledges , Be ta Rho welcomed two transf e r stud e nts from Gamma Sigma chapter of Willamette University. Neil Morfitt , '84, and Bryan Osterhout, ' 84, should contribute to the house in many ways

As usual, fall term means the coming of one of the year ' s social highlights It is the annual Barn Dance. Once again it will take place at the farm of Ken Kesey, '57, and the actives are thankful for his participation.

Another noteworthy event on the social calendar was the r e c e nt live band function with Chi Omega Sorority. Beta Rho is known, as should all chapters of Be ta Theta Pi, as the singing fraternity at U of 0 and the live band ev e nt was so well received by the memb e rs that another on e is in the making

Fall also means football and Beta Rho is not without its gridiron standouts . Jeffrey Pew, '84, . has started every game at offensi v e tackle for the Ducks while linebacker Todd Welch, '84, scored the only touchdown against USC

Last, but certainly not least, was the recent selection of the Beta Rose Court. It took two nights but the efforts of James Titus , '84 m a de it run smoothly and the brothers finally chos e 18 Rose Princesses [B. Edward Thompson, '85, Corresponding Secretary)

After a hectic rush week, Gamma Mu chapter was able to secure 26 good men and kick off the 1982-83 school year on a high note, with our house at full

capacity. Perhaps the new helped, . as new couches, chandeliers, paint and mternal ments drew praise from rushees and members ahke.

Our hous e has never looked better. Many people_ deserve thanks for their efforts during rush, espec1ally Robert Conan Evans, '83, and William Scott Hughes, '83, our rush co-chairmen, who were responsible for bringing the "nuggets" to the Beta house. Also, many thanks are in order to the people who have made of the improvem ents possible, including our alumm board and Woodson R (Woody) Bennett, '64, our chapter advisor, whose efforts and advice have been of monumental importance.

Fraternity life at Gamma Mu also is 'proving very rewarding in the social department, as our strength is reflected in our function schedule, with the top sororities spending a lot of t,ime in the house. Things could not be much nicer.

The men of Gamma Mu have set many lofty goals which we hope to attain in the following terms, such as 'to raise our campus G.P A. standings , to gain a more prominent role in the student government of O S.U ., to regain the All-University Intramurals Championship trophy and to maintain the stature and respect that the name of Beta Theta Pi is earning right now. With the excellent attitude nothing is beyond our grasp. (R Tod Hutchmson, 85, Corresponding Secretory)

The spirit at Phi could not have been any higher during the fall. This spirit has carried into a strong intramural season. The Beta football team under the guidance of Quarterback Mark E. Bevilacqua, '83, has sported an impressive record, as of this writing. The soccer team has just started but is sure to turn out an admirable record as usual.

In the area of varsity athletics four Betas are on the varsity lightweight crew team, In October the chapter was slated to send Robert Jex, '83, Peter Pietra, '83, Carlton Seybolt, '83, Philip Wasielewski, '83, and Pledge Vincent Lesch to the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston.

Desnite nearly every brother being involved in some- extracurricular activity, the house still has managed to rank first academically on campus the past two spring semesters.

Rush has become Phi's number one priority this year. Any recommendations would be greatly apprP. dated. Please contact Carl (Pinto) Seybolt or Peter Pietra at th e house.

All those Betas who are familiar with the Shipwreck Weekends held during the '50's and '60's please contact Thomas Van Fechtmann, '83, at the house (222-9298). The Betas of the class of '83 plan to

PENNSYLVANIA STATE

The current academic year is well underway here at Penn State and, accordingly, so are the activities of the Alpha Upsilon of Beta Theta Pi. This year has been , thus far, marked by a tremendous enthusiasm, expressed by both the active chapter and alumni alike; an enthusiasm sparked by the 143rd General Convention. We aJ ' proud to announce that Alpha Upsilon was the recipient of two major awards presented annually by the General Fraternity. Woog Lines, the chapter alumni publication, won the North Dakota Award for the best chapter newspaper for the third consecutive year - an unprecedented record since the award's inception In addition, the award for Best Ongoing Service Project was given to the chapter because of the succr.ss seen by our annual philanthropic event, the Rock-A-Thon for Cystic Fibrosis. Perhaps the greatest highlights of the convention were the receiving of a charter by the Maryland Colony (which originally was sponsored by Alpha Upsilon) and the appointment of Alpha Upsilon's Kenneth J. Rawley, '76 , to the position of Administrative Secretary of the General Fraternity. Congratulations to the , new Delta Omega chapter and Administrative Secretary of Beta Theta Pi!

The enthusiasm triggered by the convention has yet to subside , and certainly has carried over Into the events of this fall. Rock-A-Thon was a success, raising over $4,700 through solicitations from area

businesses, alumni and passers -by. Homecoming '82 was a gala celebration of friendship and fidelity, as over 100 alumni returned to the "hallowed halls" of Beta Theta Pi with their families and friends A delicious repast was followed by gu e st speakers, awards presentations, the traditional Loving Cup, dancing and much merry-making. A full report of Homecoming '82 events will be included in the forthcoming edition of Woog Lines

The active chapter's unsurpassed e nthusiasm can readily be seen by the initiative of the brotherhood in completing several house improvements and representing the chapter in various campus organizations A new Danish tile floor, secured through the efforts of Fredric H. Johnson III, '84, and emblazoned with the fraternity's coat of arms, was installed in the Crest Room, and the Tap Room mirror, which was accidently broken last year, was redesigned and etched by John Wright, '83. Intramural athle :ics have seen the largest turnout in recent years of brothers wishing to defend Alpha Upsilon's strong sport heritage, and we are well on the way to bringing home the Bischoff! Betas not only are participating in campus activities, but also are holding positions of leadership throughout the university community. Ranging froin honor societies to varsity athletics to recognized clubs, Alpha Upsilons are maintaining

PURDUE

As the water birds fly South for the winter (although a few do stay to w itness pledgeship), the brothers of Beta Mu rekindle for another adventur e into the survival of the studies Releasing the preceding s emester to the past, we step forward to conquer new horizons.

How eve r, we didn 't d epa rt last s emeste r without leaving our dragon print on campus. Out of 45 fraterniti e s we were ranked 13th in academics with an average of 4.61. The only problem now is keeping it that high.

Early in S epte mber we h e ld our second a'nnual S!ipn-Slide Mar at hon. The girls of the Kappa Alpha Th eta Sorority and the flying He r menoids of Beta Mu slid down our own constructed cascading water slide for 36 straight hours Under the lead ershi p of Christoph er Stege r, '83, we raised over $1,000 with all proce e ds going to the Lafayette Big Broth ers and Big Sist ers organization.

Th e smell of roasted pigs b ake d on an o p e n grill allowed our taste buds to come aliv e, for a change, during the Homecoming festivities. Under the planning of Vice Presid e nt Kenneth Dym an, '83, Homecoming proved to be a very m emora ble occasion for all the alums that attended. Seeing how Purdue's football team wasn't on a hot streak this past season, the two sizzling pigs , drinks and the gathering of old friends made the d ay extra special.

Rush finally is over and the relieved rush chairman, Timothy Carter, ' 83 , has the right to b e proud of the new pledges. Taking in a rather large pledge class, nearly reaching 30, pledg es hip now s et s in and so does Beta Mu tradition

Two determined bro thers participated in a TriAthalon held at Purdue this semester. William Tippet, '83, and Lawr e nce Link , '83 , individu ally swam one mile, biked 37 miles and ran 9.3 miles. They both finished in the top-50 and attributed their success to their coaches.

Grand Prix is approaching and, finishing in the topten last year, we're anticipating another successful race. Any contributions from the alumni would be gratefully appreciated . (Douglas A. Brownfield, '84, Secretary)

RUTGERS

After an enjoyable summer vacation, the brothers of Beta Gamma returned to Rutgers with their traditional Beta spirit and an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm. In anticipation of a productive fall semester, the brothers displayed great intensity in preparing the house for rush. We immediately correct.ed many of the violations cited by the annual fire mspection. These violations were minimal except fo.r the need to install a new fire alarm system. In addition many rooms (especially Esquire and Playboy were totally renovated and vastly improved by the new brothers living in the house. The hard work proved gratifying to all - the house has never looked better.

By displaying hard work and dedication, R_ush Chairman Jeffrey Bailey, '84, largely was respons1ble for the most successful fall rush in recent history. , Fifteen new pledges were recruited, whom we feel will lessen the impact made when 35 brothers graduate at the completion of this year. This enormous loss of brothers, we feel, will be avoided with another successful rush in the spring.

Trying to regain the Rutgers Keller Trophy, Beta once again is considered a strong contender in intramural competition. In football Beta currently is 4-0-1, and has gained entrance into semifinal play. Led defensively by Edward Donofrio, '83, and Thomas Nehila, '83, we have been able to shut down any serious offensive threat by our opponents. The offense is headed by quarterback Stanley Amditis, '84, and Salvatore Vitello, '84. The brothers are hoping to take the championship in order to receive a bid to the nationals in New Orleans. In soccer, Beta also has gained entrance into post-season play. The Booters are guided by Berry Wayne, '83, and Warren Maruca, '83. Strong performances by John Nakamura, '83, and Jeffrey Willard, ' 83, garnered a fourth place in swimming.

Congratulations to President Barry Wayne who received a Beta Founders Fund Scholarship , and to the new Beta chapters - Maryland and East Carolina.

Barry Wayne , Joseph Kaplan, '83, Jesse Pike, ' 82 , Mark Jacobson, '83, Jeff Bailey and Sophomore Fellow John Karon, ' 85 , attended the 143rd General Convention.

With the changing of the leaves and arrival of cooler breezes, the Beta Zeta chapter is expecting a super fall semester.

Once again Beta Zeta is being represented across the campus in many ways. This representation ranges from athletics to music This year 12 brothers are a part of the varsity football program. Behind Philip Lanzatella, '83, many o ther s are playing key roles. These players include Michael Conners, 84, Christopher O'Callaghan , '84, David Poirier, '84, and Christopher Stanisci , '84. The new brothers, as of last April, who also are playing a part are Mark Kurzanski, '85, David White, ' 85 , Peter Nardella, '85, Kevin Szott, '85, Robert Vishneowski, '85, William Wilcoxson, '85, and Alan Wright, '85. On the musical end is Frank Sal vatore, '83. Frank is continuing a

Beta tradition by ringing the bells at Gunnison Chapel, daily.

The best representation of the house on campus may come in the form of intramural squads As in the past, the Beta "Pack" touch football squad is stacked with talent and enthusiasm. Under the di · rection of Coach Steven (Stones) Blackmore, '83, it looks as if it may go all the way. The house also is supporting a soccer team with many good feet.

With the coming of October , the chapter is preparing for another solid fall rush. Behind Rush Chair· man Daniel Quinlan, '83, the house is looking for a fine group of pledges.

With a real sense of pride and unification, the Beta spirit is present and growing here at S .L.U. Through this spirit and our campus wide representation, Beta Theta Pi is one of the top fraternities at St. Lawrence. (Martin S. Fennell, '85, Secretory)

The upcoming spring semester offers yet another challenge for the young colony here at San Diego St ate University. Though we're probably the smallest fraternity on campus, the brothers here feel very strongly that in a couple of short years and with continuous hard work, Beta Theta Pi will rank with the top fraternities on campus.

Our spring 1982 pledge class had the highest grade point average of any pledge class at San Diego State. During the fall 1982 rush, a group of promising young men were pledged - increasing our numbers as well as our strength. Last semester our colony participated in interfraternity sports, helping tremendously to spread the name of Beta Theta Pi throughout the Greek system at San Diego State We also combined efforts with other fraternities and sororities and put on Greek Week which included Greek games, a talent show, sings, a pep rally and a chariot race. Greek Week culminated with the Homecoming football game.

Under the watchful eyes of our generous San Diego area alumni and the colonizing chapter at California · Irvine, our foothold has strengthen ed and we are prospering. The brothers at San Diego State University are ever-grateful to them for their aid and assistance. (Mark R. Swan, California -Irvine '84, Newsletter Chairman)

Nobody Remembers the Score but the So. Dakota Beta Active-Alumni Game was a Town-Rocking Event I

What started out as a "this might be crazy, but 1 .. . " idea turned into reality on the eighth day of the eighth month of the year 1982.

On that sunny Sunday afternoon, South Dakota Beta alumni and actives from four M idwestern states 1 converged on Hawarden, Iowa, for The Great Beta 1 Ballgame.

Months before, Beta alumni from Sioux Falls, S .D., and Sioux City, Iowa, cities about 90 miles apart. kicked around the idea of getting the "old crew" to· gether for a softball game. The idea caught on and soon Betas from both towns were organizing teams. When word of the game spread , Beta alums from Minneapolis, Minn., Des Moines, Iowa, Omaha, Neb. and various other locations put in their reservations 1 for a spot at the big game.

Collecting enough players for two teams wasn't really such a chore since the Gamma Alpha Betas are

This was one of the most important aspects of the "The Great Beta Ballgame" in Hawarden, Iowa.

noted for keeping in touch with each other over the years. Mark Peterson, '73, rounded up the Sioux Falls team while David Bakke, '73, rounded up players for the Sioux City team.

By this time, the Sioux Falls contingent started referring to the game as being between Sioux Falls v s. Sioux City and Lesser, Iowa.

Hawarden was chosen as the game's location because it's about halfway between Sioux Falls and Sioux City, becaus e it's a neutral site and because two Gamma Alpha Betas, Terry '71, and George Jacobs, '74, live there and said they'd supply the beer and steaks. The date of Aug. 8 was chosen for obvious reasons.

Led by star pinch-hitter, George Menke, '42, the Sioux Falls team swept both ends of what turned out to be a double-header. The scores have been forgotten, especially by the Sioux Cityans, but weren't really important in the first place.

Thirty-five Gamma Alpha brothers showed up for the festivities. After a hard afternoon on the field, they retired to a state park near Hawarden to grill the steaks , drink the beer and throw the bull. Victorious coach "Dark" Mark Peterson was a gracious winner, only reminding the Sioux Cityans who won every five minutes.

Thanks in large part to the hospitality shown by Brothers Edgington and Jacobs, there is talk of making the Beta Ballgame an annual event. Haward en never will be the same

Those in attendance for the Sioux Falls team: Mark Peterson, '73, Steven Jensen, '77, John Mogen, '71, Timothy Cook , '77, Robert Conn ell, '83, Robert Trask, '81, Michael Walton, '83, Scott Iverson, '79, Richard Menke, '80, Robert Menke, '75, George Menk e, '42, Orlan Larson, '73, Ronald Risty, '72, Craig Juel, '73, James Nelson, '72, William Kunstle, '77, and Jon Knutson, '79.

The brothers of Gamma Alpha are quite enthusiastic with the beginning of the 1982-83 academic year. Chapter spirit is running high under the excellent leadership and hard work of President Joseph Pearson, '83, and Vice President Robert Connell, '83.

The Beta Theta PI I Winter 1983

Our fall rush produced 20 of the best quality men to join Gamma Alpha in many years. Much credit must be given to Michael Walton, '83, for the fine effort put forth as rush chairman. We are proud to announce that the average ACT score of our pledges was second among all the other fraternities on campus, and we expect that this will help to improve the grade point of Gamma Alpha.

The brothers are trying hard to improve their scholastic standing. With the election of Keith Hughes, ' 83, as scholastics chairman and with our n ew Tutor-in-Residence Jeffrey Bird, '78, we expect our house grade point to be close to the highest, if not the highest of any other fraternity on the campus of USD.

Through the hard work of House Manager David W iff, '84, the house looked very nic e when the alumni arrived for Dakota Days We expect to have new flooring installed in the dining room this semester. This will add even more to the fine appearance of the house

Gamma Alpha celebrated its 70th anniversary on Dakota Days this year. The annual pig roast was a big success with many distinguished alumni in attendance.

Tog et h er with the women of Alpha Xi Delta, the Betas brought home the first place trophy in float competition on Dakota Days. This all was made possible by the hard work of Float Chairman Bruce Bormann, ' 85.

The second annual Sisters of the Diamond tapping is set for Oct. 18. The organization is expected to gain a solid foundation this year with the tapping of between 15 and 20 girls.

Gamma Alpha is very pleased with the fine musical and dance talent that is contained in its members this year. On Dakota Days we had eight brothers take part in a variety act and musical production called Coyote Capers. Because of this, we feel very confident in our prospects for Stroll e rs next semester (James D. Stotz, '84, Corresponding Secretary)

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

The fall semester is proving to be both a busy and exciti ng one her e at Gamma Tau Robert Baker, '83, is doing a fine job as president, as well as John Hansen , '83, vice president.

Rush went very well thanks to the diligent efforts of Rush Chairmen Mark Valentine, '83, and Kurt Brockman, '84. We have 29 fine pledges which brings our total undergraduate chapter roster to over 120 m en Pledge Trainer Thomas Gallivan , '83, is making sur e these new, young men learn to uphold the lore and traditions of Beta Theta Pi.

Beta continues to place well in interfraternity sports competition and is favored to take the coveted int e rfraternity volleyball championship once again this year. The brothers of Gamma Tau also are making their mark at the varsity level by participating and lettering in golf, track, volleyball, water polo, swimming, baseball and football. We are especially proud of Clement Penrose , '83, varsity water polo captain. On a more depressing note, Beta tailback , Andrew Eddy, '84, broke his ankle in an early game and was sidelined for the rest of the foo tball season Watch out for Andy next year!

Social Chairmen Michael Branigan , '83 , and Robert Stemler, '84 , are keeping the calendar filled with numerous events and parties. Highlights for the fall semester include the annual Alumni Chili Party following the Homecoming football ga me, the second annual M*A*S*H Party and the traditional Arabian

Knights , which i s to be held in late November The Family Christmas Party put on by the Mothers Club is scheduled for the first Sunday in December

Little Sist e r Chairmen Kirk Campbell , '83, and Kristen Thordarson, '84, had the difficult job of selecting 30 Little Sisters from the 200 pretty coeds who were invited to the rush mghts The Beta Girl Initiation Party was held in . .

We thank all of our alumni for their contmumg support and invite them to stop by the Beta house whenever they have the chance. (David Freeman, '83, Secretary)

SOUTHERN METHODIST

As the summer came to a close , the Gamma Omega brothers gathered together to discuss activities and events for the fall semester. Under the direction of President Jay Buckey, '83, the Betas have high expectations for a rewarding and fun-filled semester.

Already six weeks into the semester, the chapter has enjoyed several social activities, including a backyard barbecue and the traditional Full-Tilt Party Showing support to the Greek system, as a whole, several Betas participated in activities during Southern Methodist's Greek Week. Gamma Omega also enjoyed hosting the Betas from the Univjlrsities of Texas and Oklahoma as they came to Dallas for the famous Texas-OU football game

This year, as in the past, Betas have excelled in intramural competition. Currently the chapter is in first place among fraternities, and has high hopes of winning the overall competition this year.

Scholastic achievement also has reached the SMU chapter. The Betas have increased their average GPA, as a whole, and are ranked high among fratern iti e s at SMU The brothers look forward to the annual Alumni Weekend. This event provides a good time for all. In addition to looking forward to upcoming social and fund raising events, we are planning and looking forward to an exceptional spring rush. (Bill

STANFORD

The Lambda Sigma chapter sits atop Stanford ' s Greek community again this year, thanks to a group of hard-working officers , dedicated actives and enthusiastic pledges. This year ' s officers include : Michael W Melendez, '83, president; Martin J Hermes, '83, house manager; John Phillips , '83, treasurer; Eric Sappenfield, '84, kitchen manager; R. Matsner Gruen, Jr , '84, chorister; S Hopkins Warren, '83, librarian; and William Gant, Jr ., '83, sports chairman

All of the actives are exc ited by the performance of this year's pledge class Not only was the Pledge Breakfast, supervised by Edward J Calloway, '84, superb, but the pledge chorus is one of the best in the chapter's history It looks like we ' ll be ready for the Whitman Cup in a year or two! Also, congratulations to David Frank, '84, who organized this year's Pledge Disorientation Night- good job, Dave!

In intramurals , the Beta football dynasty continues. What this year's team lacks in power, it makes up for in quickness Zuo-Yun Ma , '83, Most Valuable Beta last year, anchors a strong defensive secondary, while Harry Freeman, '83, and Virgil (Chip) Kuns, '83, form a dangerous quarterback , wide-receiver combination.

Off the field, too , Lambda Sigma sets the pace for others to follow Alumni Advisor Bailey S (Biff)

Quickness was a big factor in th!l winning ways of this Stanford intramural football squad.

Barnard , '67, coordinated a party for alums after the USC football game. The famous Beta Nooner, a campus-wide party, will be held before Big Game (against Cal), and a formal with several sororities will close out the major social events of the quarter

Finally, Librarian Hopkins Warren is thinking of installing a dehumidifier to preserve some of our older records , and would like to know of any chapters that already have such a system. Please write him at the house, 557 Mayfield Ave., Stanford, CA 94305. (R. Matsner Gruen, Jr., '84, Corresponding Secretary)

STEVENS

Fall semester at the Sigma chapter saw the Betas putting all their efforts into a strong rush program. As of this writing as we near the end of the seven week rush period , our new pledge class looks to be a large and strong on e. Many th!lnks to Rush Chairman Lou;s PorteW, '84. who helped to keep the enthusiasm high during this long and tiring period.

Betas continue to dominate sports in the IFC, particularly football and tennis. Our foo ' ball team is undefeated, thanks to wins with scores l'ke 48 -6 and 32-0, and is preparing to play for the league championship. We lead the IFC in tennis where we also remain undefeated If this can be continued during the upcoming spring semester, we could see the AllSports Trophy in the Beta house

The actives thank all alumni who are aiding and taking an interest in the house. The alumni association newsletter, The Sigma Slant, is just one example of their strong interest that has made us feel closer to them , and more a part of a long-standing Beta history. (Raymond Haggar, '84, Corresponding Secretary)

SYRACUSE

Due to an extremely beautiful fall in Syracuse, Beta Epsilon enjoyed a pleasant beginning for the fall semester. As usual, we held our annual pre-rush Open

The Beta Theta Pi I Winter 11183

Party, to remind freshmen and returning students alike that the Betas know how to party.

Our efforts did not go unrewarded as Rush Chairmen Robert F. DeForest, '83, and Lyle V. Buroker, '85, garnered an excellent pledge class with seven !Dembers. Pledge Master Robert Hummel, '85, already IS at work preparing a pledge program, which tentatively _calls for a to the Toronto chapter Sports Chairman John (Jimmy) Pickelhaupt, '83, has done an excellent job in motivating the brothers and pledges to a 4-1 softball season, including wins over AEP and ZBT. The brothers are 2-0 in football, and look forward to at least a semifinal berth for the second year in a row.

Socially, Beta Epsilon is doing very well. An A.C.O. pledge-initiation party went over big , as evidenced by the number of brothers with a new-found interest in A.C.O. pledges and sisters! Social Chairman John Jordan, '85, has planned parties with Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta and Kappa Alpha Theta, which we look forward to.

Academically, the brothers concluded last semester with a chapter average of 3.1 Robert Weed, '84, w ith the highest G P.A., was the winner of th e J. Edward MacEvoy Scholarship, donated by Brother MacEvoy, '36. Howard Harris, '84, was the winner of the ScottyJen)< s Memorial Scholarship given by the General Fraternity Founders Fund. The chapter hopes to further improve its academic standing.

Napoleon once said that an army moves on its stomach, which certainly is the case with the brothers. With the retirement of Mrs. Tilda Kalman , our c ook of seven years, the chapter was inde e d fortunate in locating a real chef, Jeff Smith. Jeff, who has studied at the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, and prepared excellent fare at the Hotel Syracuse, is a welcome addition as the brothers w]l attest. Those alumni who visited the house at Homecoming can thank Jeff for the delicious buff et

TENNESSEE

The brothers of the Delta Kappa chapter have started what appears to be a very promising fall quarter The entire chapter seems to be on the upswing. After placing second on campus, academically, in the spring quarter, we have taken on a more serious outlook Kevin Daley, '83, exemplifies this serious attitude with the work he has done for our rush program. His hard work paid off this fall in the form of eight new pledges The chapter, as a whole, rushed better and we are taking steps to reform our rushing program so it will be even more effective in the future. During the summer and early fall, the house has had a great deal of work done on it. This work includes a new roof on the back porch, and a complete renovation of the kitchen. Also, the outside of the house and garage have received badly -needed paint jobs. One of the most obvious improvements to the house Is the recently purchased living room furniture. The chapter is indebted to the alumni for their support In this project. Also, this fall, we purchased a new stereo and speakers.

The outlook for the remainder of fall quarter is indeed very bright. If the chapter continues with as much enthusiasm as has been shown so far, Delta Kappa will continue to grow (Jeffrey D. Irwin, '83, Secretary)

TEXAS

After a hard but enjoyable summer rush, Beta Omicron is kicking off a new school year. Summer rush provided us with an outstanding pledge class of 21 men. Meanwhile, the spring pledge class was initiated after a successful pledgeship under our new program The new program proved to be more constructive to both the pledges and the chapter. We look forward to its continued use

The fall semester began with a fully-renovated house The basement's final touches were completed while the dining room ceiling was textured and walls were painted. As a result, the house looks better than ever. We would like to thank our alumni in T.B S .A.F for providing the renovations.

Also this fall, the Daught e rs of th e Diamond initiated fiv e new members. With the h el p of Scott P . Speer, ' 83, the Daughters have a full schedule of fund-raising events

Our social calendar is exceptional. We have had parties with the Alpha Chi Omegas, Kappa Deltas, Kappa Kappa Gammas , and the Pi Be ta Phis. Also, the Betas and Sigma Nus got together to celebrate Texas -O.U. we e k -end at the Hyatt Regency. Plans are being made for our annual Beta Bash, one of the larg est of the all-campus parties. Our traditional Virgin Islands Party was the high po int of the fall social calendar Much time and effort was put in by the whole chapter to prepare for it. Also since we are the singing fratern ity , w e are pracfcing with the Alpha Delta Pi ' s for the Sin gsong compet ition.

Dad's Day was also a great success. The weekend consisted of a brunch for parents and Br tas at wh ' ch former General Secre tary Burton W. Folsom , Nebraska '49, spoke. That evening a party was held for the parents following the Texas-Houston football game.

We are very pleased to announce the addition of a n e w offi ce in our frate r nity. Walter J Humann, '84 , was elected chaplain of o.ur chapter Th's office is important for organization of Bible s tudies in the fratern i ty and with sororities

TEXAS ARLINGTON

The brothers of D elta Rho started the seme ster on fire as a result of the recent r e turn of President J. Patrick Norris, ' 82 , and Vice President Darrell Amsden, '85, from the General Convention at French Lick. As summ'lr came to an end, we completed our deck on the back of the house The next order of business was that of rush. With the much appreciated help of our alumni and Little Sist ers we pulled off a rush that presented us with one pledge for every active. The quality of the young men is clearly a quality that is demanded by our Beta heritage. As one of our more enjoyable activities, the De lta Rho pledges upheld our local tradition of swooning the ladies of Greek Row With pledgeship well underway, the chapter entered intramural football. This

year's active support at the games helped to keep our overall participation in the chapter activities very high

With mid-s e mester approaching we have many house projects planned. The Beta flag is proudly flying over our house once again, after the flag pole from our old house was erected. We also have plans of making our backyard more easily accessible for future activities at the house.

Everyone at the Delta Rho Beta house is really on the go for the fraternity. We really are anticipating a very outstanding group of newly-initiated actives this semester and we wish our brothers in - kai - across the nation the same. (Robert C. McDonald, '85, Secretary)

The brothers have worked extensively on the house, improving its overall appearance. This work included necessary repairs inside the lodge as well as a new sign on the front lawn. We still are seeking financial assistance for roof renovations.

TULANE

The Beta Xi chapter has had a long history on the Tulane campus - being the first fraternity house at the university as well as preparing to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 1983 . In those 75 years the chapter has initiated over 900 men, representing 36 states, Puerto Rico and several other countries.

Although more recent times have brought measurable hardship to the chapter - including low membership. resulting debts and a very old house in bad shape - today the chapter is back on an upswing . Membership is up to a more healthy 36 with our old debts being paid off by the chapter An Alumni Party in the spring raised enough money to close out the mortgage on the house as well. Although these problems have persisted in the past, the future is showing a potential for growth and prosperity that none of the active brothers have known in their years at Tulane . The dedication of our alumni committee to

the chapter has made this potential possible by hosf ing parties, raising money and meeting with thi chapter monthly to solve internal problems. The chap ter is very grateful for the support of the followin1 alumni: Odom B. Heebe, '60, Jon B. Roth, 59, Martir A . Macdiarmid, '65, Steven Strength, Auburn '76, an 6 Weber Donaldson, DePauw '53.

With the generous support of our alumni in re · sponse to the fall '82 rush letter, a substantia' amount of our rush expenses was covered and th t chapter pledged 13 men. We now are working on om goal of 10 pledges for second semester rush, which would place the chapter in very sound shape. With the progress that has been made the chapter is very enthusiastic about the 75th anniversary, and we forward to seeing the alumni at the events which now are being planned.

The Beta Dragons have begun their intense physical and mental training for the intramural broomball season. Todd J. Ternovan, '84, who is coaching the 1 Dragons, feels that friendship and fidelity are the 1 team's top priorities.

Our evil house manager, Paul Surtel, '85, [The Big 1 C) has been awake since September seeking to execute those brothers neglectful of their weekly house duties and obligations. Our new kitchen manager, Frank [Baldy) Salter, '84, has organized an excellent kitchen budget and food program that treats both the budget and our stomachs quite well.

Winter rushing now is underway with various exchanges, parties and the possibility of another Beta Family Dorg here at the chapter house during the second week of February.

The Theta Zeta chapter, thus far, has had a very 1 productive and active school year. [Todd J. Temo· van, '84, Secretary)

With a rush agenda described as more than able, the Gamma Beta chapter pledged 39 fine men, culminating months of work and planning and a week of festive persuasion. Utah Betas once again may rest assured - quality and pride have been embodied in our select Woogies .

Scholastic superiority, social esteem and athletic prowess notwithstanding, the 1982 rushees were lured (and commensurately clamored) to a Beta bid with the convivial variety of the Gamma Beta rush. The Saturday prior to formal rush, over 100 coupl e s attended the elegant Casino Party at the house. Thanks go to our fine Mother's Club and jeri Wright, its president. The mothers donated countless service hours and a sofa to the house.

Our rushees were treated to quit e a blend of activities - a Taco and Tequillia Party compl e te with Mexican band, a Greek Festival feat uring a whole roast lamb and a belly dancer, the Ramsey gourmet breakfast, skeet shooting and fly fishing at the Smith Ranch in Park City, and lawn sports and billi a rds at the Wright's avenues estate , and other eve nts.

Pledge Train e rs David Rasmussen, '84, and Scott Kunkel, '83, have prepared an extensive, well"planned pledge program of lore, history , songs and scholarship. As of this writing, we have picked big brothers and had a big brother/ little brother party at Ramsey ' s Mt. Air cabin In addition, the actives and pledg e s have enjoyed cheering at the football games, the new chapter food program and a pl ethora of exc hanges and socials with the sororities.

On Ocli 17, the pledges host e d the sororities to the traditional Beta Breakfast. With armsfull of carnations , the fleet of pledge cars screamed across campus to pick up the various hous e girls. New sorority pledges were treated to a delicious breakfast prepared by the Mother's Club Gay Horsley coordinated the "breakfast and the chapter thanks all of the o lh er mothers who helped Mrs. Horsley .

VANDERBILT

The broth e rs of Beta Lambda commenced the school year with one of the largest pledge classes on campus. The five new pledges and 28 new Little Sisters are a definit e asset to the chapter, which will see 23 seniors graduate this year.

The Beta hous e carried on its tradition of social z ea l this fall with the highlight being the an nual Beta Orgy (toga party) , an unforgettable exper ie nce for all those privileged with an invitation The brothers also hav e carried on a consistency of social gath er ings on every Friday afternoon, a tradition initiated last year that has proved, again and again, to be a huge success. The Betas also sponsor ed a Frisbee Extravaganza and a facult y dinner

This summer the house underwent exte nsive alterations on the facade, as well as the cre ation and upkeep of a rock garden and manicured lawn. It is the admiration of all who pass.

Th e broth ers presently are planning a colossal celebration of the chapter's centennial in 1984, with alumni and associated officials

The chapter prepared and sold refres hments at the campus Jazz F estiva l to b enefit the American Cancer Soci ety. Afterward, Governor Lamar Alexander officially proclaimed the day American Cancer Soci ety Day . The broth ers also painted faces at the Blues Festival to ben efit the Prison Project , to which many brothers volunteer their personal services as well.

Beta Lambda continues its tradition of academic excellence and unyielding concern and involvement

with all facets of camp us life. The brothers encourage all fellow br others, be they active or alumni, to visit the Beta house at Vanderbilt. On behalf of the broth ers a nd myself , I'm proud to be a Beta.

This fall Omicron marked the second anniversary of its reinstall ati on as an active chapter. The celebration did not take form in a specific fete, but instead li ved [and lives) in the ex traordinary path upward Omicron continues to take.

The hard work of fall rush culminated in the acceptance of all 14 bids which we had extended.

Om icron hosted two successful alumni gatherings - one on O ct. 9 [b efore the first night football game in Virginia histor y) and another during Homecoming Weekend Both a l um ni and brothers thoroughly enjoy e d renewing and es tablishing Beta ties and partying in the traditional Beta spirit.

Among noteworthy accomplishments and activities, Timothy L. Akers, '82 , is finishing his history of the Omicron chapter. His dedicated work on the subject is much to b e admired R. Anthony Salgado, '84, and Todd A . Varon, '84, received Interm e diate Honors from the university. Brother Varon will be spending spring sem est er studying in Spain Best' of luck to him The broth e rhood again participated in the annual Charlott esv ille Haunted House Be ta is proud to be th e most en thusiastic supporter of the event .

Doug has worked on numerous successful campaigns in his young career, but attaining such a lofty position with such overwhelming responsibilities at such a relatively young age is something of which all Betas should be proud B.

VIRGINIA TECH

Wedding bells were heard throughout the state of> Virginia for som e very recent alumni this summer James L Chapman, '79 , Scott L. Douglass, ' 81 , Robert A. Steele, '82, James E. Fleak, '82, and Jeffrey P Schneider, '83, all tied the knot within the past few months. The Alpha Phi wishes all these brothers and their brides the best of luck for the years ahead

The beginning of fall quarter '82 saw the revival of the Virginia Tech Betathon The Betathon, a running marathon consisting of a 2-mile race and a 10kilometer race, was cancelled last year due to complications over univers ity regulations concerning sponsorship. Despite the year layoff , however, this year's event was a great success. With a turnout of over 100 runners, the 5th annual Betathon resulted in $520 in donations. All proceeds go to the American Spinal Injury Assn and the Tommy Adams Medical Fund . Special thanks to William Christopher, '83, and James Wilding, '84, for their painstaking efforts in putting on the event.

The social calendar thus far has included the annual roller skating party with Delta Gamma Sorority and the usual pre-game tailgate parties, one of which was put on with Delta Zeta Sorority Despite complications over obtaining banquet licenses last spring quarter, the chapter once again is obtaining the licenses on a regular basis. The weekly parties now will b.e on Friday nights instead of Thursdays. All alumm cordially invited anytime Upcom ing social events mclude the chapter decennial, the Halloween Party, Game Night, The Wild Wild West Party and the Christmas Party.

So far, all A-team sports are undefeated each having one win and no losses. Despite the lo'ss of some very key alumni athletes , all vacant spots have been filled by very capable younger brothers, and the future of Beta sports still remains bright.

The Alpha Phi still is searching for new ideas and prospects for future housing. _ Although nothing conhas materialized, the situation is steadily improvmg We hope that in the not too distant future the majority of the a c tive brothers will be living to: gether under the same roof.

WABASH

The fall semester for the Tau chapter was one of continued success for the brothers of 513. At the General Convention held in French Lick, Ind ., Tau was awarded first place in its region for scholarship second place .in !he song contest and second place chapter publicatiOns. We also received the Sisson Award for one of the two outstanding chapters in the fraternity

After three rush parties in the summer and an intense fall rush, .our chapter pledged 19 young men. One of our maJor concerns for this class and the chapter, as a whole, is the maintenance of a con-

;een at a "Wabash table" at the 143rd General Convention were the following James Snyder, '82, Kenneth Hughes, '85 (barely visible), Russell Ragan, '23, Daniel Taylor, '83, and Michael Haber, '82 (almost out of the picture). This was 9rother Ragan's 21st convention

1tructive program of pledgeship, emphasizing schoastic achievement, responsibility and the importance Jf the history and lore of our fratern ity.

In addition to the above-mentioned concern, we 1till are considering ways of renovating the chapter 1ouse. Over the summer, new globes were bought for the dining room lights, but many improvements still can be made Plans include refurbishing the downrec-roorn and redecorating the dining room

On campus, Tau Betas are making as strong a 1howing as ever After four of the fall intramural sports, Wabash Betas ranked first overall. We also 1re hoping to capture the Scholarship Trophy for the 1ixth consecutive semester.

The chapter is proud to have many of its members participating in fall varsity sports. Peter Wilson, '64, is starting defensive end and Pledge Scott Teach is starting offensive center for the Little Giants' nationally-ranked team. Daniel Cueller, '63 , will be Bnishing his fourth year with the soccer team of which Pledge Brian McCabe also is a member. In addition, Pledge Frank Leonard is a member of the cross country team.

Tau also continues domination of the Board of Publications. Richard Rudduck, '63, is chairman of the board. William Harrington, '65, and Thomas Koenig, '65, are serving as editors of the Wabash. Andrew Snyder , '63, and J. Brian Sawyer, '64, are editing Supply Side Comics, a conservative satirical magazine.

Socially, our chapter has had three dances many exchanges. The Pig Roast and Dance were in October, and the Pledge Dance IS slated for November. The exchanges held with sororities and dorms from Purdue, Butler and DePauw helped to lighten the atmosphere at Wabash :

Although all of the above activities and accornhelp to make our chapter strong, we cannot hope to continue this achievement very long without greater support and interest from our alumni. Alumni relations are a two-way street, James Davis, '63, as chairman of the Alumni _AffaHs Committee, is looking for more ways to mvolve alumni. If you are interested in helping in any way contact us. We need your help if we are to the success that characterizes the Tau chap(Thomas Koenig, '65, Secretary)

Beta Theta Pi I Winter 1983

WASHINGTON (ST. LOUIS)

Most of the attention this year at the Alpha Iota chapter has been devoted to the redecorated house. The chapt er house was improved and expanded during last year while the members were offered a chance to live in the university's Milbrook Apartments, a poor substitute for the house. Previously, capacity was limited to 24 actives. Now the house can hold up to 42. This semester , about 30 brothers are living in the house, the empty spaces being attributable to a lack of faith that indeed the house would be ready this fall. There already had been several delays , both before and after construction began. With a large pledge class this fall and, hopefully , spring semester, we expect a house filled to capacity by next September.

Oct. 6 was the official opening of the house, with many alumni and their wives attending. The evening was planned to a large degree by Kitchen Manager Michael Landis, ' 63 The house also was in immaculate condition as a result of the major work session organized by House Manager Marc Hambley, '64 On behalf of the active b rot hers of the Alpha Iota chapter , I again thank all those alumni who helped in the long, and sometimes taxing , remodeling process.

As far as activities go, the chapter is working hard to successfully defend its place as intramural champion. Last year, the race for thE; overall title carne down to the wire, as the Betas clinched it in the last event of the year - the softball tournament. By reaching the semifinals of the tournament , we narrowly edged out the dreaded Phi D elt s. Certainly much of the credit for last year's victory goes to I.M. Chairman John Ferrandes , '83, who also captained and pitch e d for the softball team. This year Michael Simon , ' 65, is I.M chairman, as we look forward to another promising year.

Rush this year has b ee n highly successful as 16 .freshmen and sophomores ha ve accepted bids Rush Chairmen Kevi n Kirton, '64, and William Hunt, ' 83, put in long hours, and the size and quality of the fall class reflect that effort. This year's pledges are enthusiastic and divers e as a group, and will make fine Betas .

Social Chairman William Mehard, ' 83, has been maintaining a variety of events, with all functions being highly successful. The highlight of the parties so far has be e n the Paint- Your-Date Party, a truly colorful evening, and a prime-quality rush event.

In all, this year has been a highly one for the Alpha Iota chapter, with the Beta liouse reasserting itself as the dominant force in the Greek system. A new spirit seems to be ernergmg m this chapter, which could be seen at our Homecom ing celebration. Plans for the Beta float m the annual parade were carried off more smoothly, and met with less debate than perhaps any ever at this chapter (Adam Helman, '85, Corresponding Secretary)

WASHINGTON

As summer drew to a close here at the Beta Omega chapter, we kicked off another busy fall quarter. Members returned from all over the country to be reunited , once again, with their fraternal broth ers in their home away from horne. We also welcomed 27 new faces into the house with our 1982 pledge class. We extend thanks to Rush Chairmen Blake Riva , '63, Eric Jarvis, '84, and Gregory Kornen, '84, for acquir-

ing such a fin e group of young men. Through the careful guidance of Pledge Train e rs Lanc e Carlson , '85, and James Clack, '85, we trust n e w pledg e s will develop into full-fledged Be ta actives.

Fall quarte r is always an active time here at the University of Washington . Our ex ecutiv e s, Aron Swedin , '83, and Gunnar Light, '83 , make sure that all the administrativ e details of the hectic quarter run smoothly Studying occupies a large part of our time , earning us a house G P.A. well above th e Gr e ek and all-campus averages. When we're not studying, however, an eventful social calendar takes up much of our free time. Exchanges, dances and football games are plentiful, as well as annual events such as Homecoming and our Alumni Cocktail Party .

Sports play an important role in our fall schedule, and the Betas at the U of W always are comp e titive. We have brothers participating in Husky football, basketball, soccer and skiing. Leading the way in Beta intercollegiate sports is Paul Skansi, '83, co-captain of the #1 ranked Washington Huskies football team. Paul not only has set school records for all-time receptions, but also was voted Most Valuable Player (as a freshman) in the Sun Bowl. We also fielded teams in most every intramural sport offered, and our combination of athletic ability and competitive spirit make Beta teams a force to be reckoned with.

In closing, a special thanks go to aJl our alumni for their generous fund raising efforts and contributions which have enabled us to enjoy the extensive remodeling done to our chapter house last summer. Our new interior is a source of much pride for the brothers, and we are all working to keep it in its beautiful condition. Finally, we wis.h our Beta counterparts across the country a happy and productive winter quarter. (Sean P. Egen, '84, Corresponding Secretary)

WASHINGTON STATE

With the completion of rush, the fall semester got off to a great start for Gamma Theta Under the direction of Rush Chairman Stephen J. Zografos, '84, 28 men were pledged . This is the largest class in recent memory. It is our hope that they will continue to contribute as much to the chapter as they have in their short time with Beta.

Early in the fall we carried out our plans to host a casino. This was our first such venture and it proved to be very profitable, thanks to the efforts of Karl R. Kimball, ' 83. !t was so successful that it shall become one of our annual events. Also new for us this fall are Little Sisters. While in the past we have elected not to have such an activity it was felt that this would be the year to start. With Christopher M Zehner, '84, in charge of our newly-founded program things ran very smoothly. We now are proud to have an outstanding group of Beta Little Sisses.

Slated for later in the fall are several house improvements. To complement the insulation added during the summer, we soon will have double-paned windows installed throughout the entire building The heating system itself also is scheduled for its first check-up in several years. With the onslaught of winter these improvements will become even more gratefully appreciated than they are now.

WASHINGTON &

This year there is more energy emanating from ti brothers of Gamma chapter than we have seen in r cent years . Although we still are small in numbe we have been functioning as a tight unit and are a complishing more than we had ever hoped. Durlt Greek Week we participated in every event wi great spirit, winning the soap box derby with 0 1 "flying ladder" for the fourth year in a row. Durh the week, our parties were very successful wi • Slammers and the D-Day Invasion, Rum and Regg Night and finally our traditional and legendary Be Ice Tea Party.

We also have obtained three pledges, who, alar with our spring class, will make a strong addition · our house. We only will lose one brother at the er. of the year, John Halliwell, '83, so we should be ab to obtain a comfortable number of brothers by ne yea r

There only seems to be one thing lacking from 01 house, though , and that is furniture. The furnitUJ that we do have is in our chapter room and is ge ting too old for everyday use. Therefore, we decid to spend $10,000 on carpeting, curtains and furnitu1 for our television room and foyer . This is somethin that has been needed for many years, and we're ge ting it done with only 16 brothers and practically D concerned alumni

In closing, I congratulate a Beta from my hig school - Robert J. Gaddis, Northwestern '84, wh won the Seth and Corinne Brooks Scholarship. Gla to be a Beta! (Michael Boysen, '84, Secretary)

WASHINGTON & LEI

It is another rewarding fall for the Alpha Rho chap ter. Rush was a tremendous success due to speci; work by many individuals. Social Chairman Charle M (Chad) Plumly, '84, demonstrated his skill in vertising our parties at the neighboring women's co leges with artistic but to-the-point posters . Anothe new idea this year was the chartering of buses t bring freshman girls to our rush kick-off party on th Maury River. Edward J O'Brien IV, '83, contribute his skills in electronics and carpentry by designin a new sound system for house parties. The recor number of alumni letters of recommendation helpe greatly in selecting freshmen this year. Our rush see son has been shortened considerably, and those le ters helped us meet many fine men early A ne1 dimension to rush this year was a pig roast in th mountains. This was held at Spider Hill in the Blu Ridge which is the home of Edwin (Win) Vaughan '84, Jace A . Goodling, '84, and Frederick (Dick) Min nich , '84. The final credit for a rush that was a tot< success goes to Rush Chairmen J. Berry Trimble, '8 and Rodney E. Taylor, '83 .

Intramural Chairman David Butler, '85 , has done fine job in recruiting and arranging I.M. matches. Hi accomplishments include our final football victo n over Sigma Phi Epsilon, and a tennis doubles victoover Law 2 by Matthew G. Thompson, '84, and W James Jonas III, '83.

So it is that we look forward to the continuing year at Gamma Theta with its many challenges and rewards . Athletically, socially and scholastically our hard work is paying off as we grow in the bond of Beta Theta Pi.

The Alumni Fund Drive for house improvement did not meet all of our goals; however, those wh responded were quite generous. These contribution allowed the purchase of a new boiler as well a needed furniture, masonry repair, painting of outsid woodwork, the building of a retaining wall and th rebuilding of our garbage dump.

Congratulations on fine varsity athletic performmces go to fall lacrosse players, Thomas !meson, '85, Jave Butler and James Bradner, '85; soccer players, Simon, '84, and Robert Ferguson '84 and 'ootball player, John D Cole, '84 . ' '

In conclusion, we welcome our new Tutor-inJames Falk , '81, and Beta Sweetheart -Jadia Anderson, who will be escorted at all runeions by Rodney E. Taylor, '82. (W. James Jonas III, 83, Secretory)

WEBER STATE

fhe Delta Omicrons began the year with perhaps the Jest quarter in our history We had an outstanding class which, thanks to the great new Pledge Manual, became fully versed in the lore of Beta fheta Pi and the spiri't of Wooglin. We are looking fo rward to these men becoming leaders on the Weber >tate campus in the next few years. Also , we hope that these pledges will be able to live in a Bet a ilouse at Weber State before they graduate. Once , we would appreciate any information that any could send us on the problems associated obtaining a house.

The Delta Omicrons are proud of our tnembers who play on the Weber State football team, Philip Principe, '84, and Samuel Slater, '84. Sam is once 1gain up for All -Conference honors at the offensive tackle position

Last year we were unable to retain our hold on the coveted All-Sports Intramural Trophy for the first time in several years. But, we are happy to report that Beta Theta Pi has the lead in point standings in at this writing. We feel sure that we can regain the trophy by the end of this year. The Delta Omicrons appreciate the hard work and dedic atio n of Sports Chairman William Boschetto, ' 85.

The formation of a strong alumni association, which was our main goal for the year, is continuing planned Our 11th Anniversary Banqu e t is slate d Nov. 15th and will be enjoyed by pled ges, Betas and alumni. We soon hope to have an official alumni association to assist us in our quest of a hous e.

has attracted a healthy cross-section of th1s academically and socially varied community to the chapter house. This steady inflow of people through the house has assured us of a select number of fledgling neophytes seeking enlightenment.

Our alumni bring us som e interesting news. Paul '81, and John Giammatteo, '81, have, frightenmgly, begun their married lives - Paul in December 1981, and John just this September. We can only Wish them the best. We also spied Ralph White, '32, at a football game this fall in which the Cardinals trounced the hapless Colby Mules Ralph is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and deviously amusing Betas around - we hope that more of you get a chance to meet him this October at Wesleyan's Homecoming. Eric Langille , '82, Christopher Pace, '82, and John Ryan, '82, are all working in New York at their respective banks - they visit the house regu larly when they find time away from their corporate microcosms. Others we've seen in the last few months were D ean Jarmel, '82 , Paul Lenkeit, '81, Eric Bushner, '79, Martinus Van Der Vorm, '82, and former District Chief Karl Maier, '67.

The present broth ers have thus far performed admirably in the tasks of running the house. President Ri cardo Banciella, '83, is a decision-maker of rocklike solidity. Treasurer Jeffrey Resler, '84, is a bastion of in corruptibility. As social chairman, Josef Langenauer, '85, rivals the flamboyance of Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby. St ewards Michael Taylor, '83, and Glenn Duhl , '83, run the Eating Club with the efficiency of George Schultz's diplomacy.

Outsid e the house, brothers have distin guishe d themselves. Martin Kemple, '82, continues to wage the war against world hunger on this campus. Brother Kemple crossed the seas to India last sem ester and r eturned an enlightened and pragmatic individual. Murray Oden, '82, John Larson, '85, and Leandro (Andy) Locsin, '84, continue to shine in varsity athletics - soccer, squash and track respectively. Kenneth Fuchs, '82, runs the New York Times concession on campus while Timothy Mansfield, '82, has just l anded an important part in a private, on-campus productinn of King Lear

Beta Theta Pi at Weber State has a reputation for having great social activities. We lived up to our · this quarter with sever a l sor ority ex' and a highly successful fund-raiser - a New Wave Party. The money raised will go into our house fund. The Delta Omicrons will celebrate the of the term with our traditional fund-raiserthe Beta Blowout.

The brothers of the Delta Chi chapter are extremely proud to announce a most progressive and rewarding fall semester. For the first time in the history of the chapter, the Betas had the highest overall interfraternity grade point average. Through discipline and dedication, we are proud of this achievement, and are worki n g even harder to keep our high academic status.

The adrenalin is flowing and the excitement is building as the day draws nearer to the annual Soap Box Derby which is held each year on Fraternity Drive near Western's campus. From an outstanding feat of innovation and engineering, Brian Blaszczak, '83, has built yet another champion crusier. This

WESTERN ONTARIO

Once again Beta has taken the forefront at the University of Western Ontario. The y e ar began with the annual Orientation Week Springbank Games, successfully handled by Rush Chairman James D. Mignault, ' 83. Twenty-five active members marshaled the day of activities · for the 5,000 frosh at the gam e s Due to our success in this task over the last three years the university admin i stration has asked us to continu e doing so . At this writing, we are looking forward to a fantastic pledge class of approximat ely 30 outstanding men , thanks to the efforts of our rush chairman.

Under the direction of Social Chairman Bradley A. Parker, '85, we have held a number of successful parties this year, and are anticipating our famous Freddy Fudpucker Party We extend an open invitation to any in the area to come up and spend a few days with us - we would love to have you. We are looking forward to a second visit with the brothers at the Michigan State chapter, plans now are underway.

Congratulations to Homecoming Chairman David J Brezer, ' 84 - we held one of the best Home c omings ever. Thanks also to all the alumni that attended this year's event to make it such an enjoyable one.

Everything now is in order for our annual Halloween Party for the children at the local orphanage J. Todd Finla y son, '83 , deserves m ent ion for initiating and continu ing this very worthwhile event.

A considerable amount of interest among the female population at Western has led to the possible formation of a Little Sisters Program, spearheaded by the ever-versatile Gerald G. Ethier , '84

And finally, congratulations to Mark T C Tyndale, '83 , on his marriage Sept. 11. We all wish Brother T y ndal e and Kath y the b e st of Luck Con gratulations also to our alumni, Steven G. M cManus, '77 , Timothy J P r ogosh , '80 , Vincent A. Scarfone, '79 , and Michael

With the recent amalgamation of the arch-riv Case and Western Reserve chapters to form tl Lambda Kappa-Beta in 1979, and with the subseque demolition of the much-beloved Beta house on flower , this rendezvous was particularly poignant. The usual cocktail receptions, ali -day brunche golf and dinners set the low-key tone As has ev• been th e case, the Haplea's home reception, con pl e te with gourmet snacks, was a model of graci01 ent e rtainm e nt. A large gift of Macadamia Nuts sm from Hawaii by LTC John Nespecca , '64, and figur e d prom inently . It is hoped that a future reunio be held in Honolulu five years hence.

A dinner-dance concluded the "official" weeken • The Beta singing circle was "tuned" well and th Loving Cup rarely has been offered with more fervo

A remar k able gath e ring of more than so Western Rt ser v e Betas and wives from the '55-'65 era are sho w in part here (see accompanying .story).

Inclement weather failed to dampen the spirit - the old tales actually have improved with the re-telling.

A series of photo books provided by Brother and Mrs. Jay Schnackel, '62, stirred up plenty of recollections and most everyone present had to admit that, aside from a few pounds and a little grey, not a one of us has changed for the worse, not an iota.

Oddly enough, the one individual who was sorely missed - Navy Captain Thomas A. Wight, '61was the very first brother to subscribe to the reunion. Sudden changes in orders prevented the San Diego-based globe-trotter from attending. It was too bad: his home-of-record at Port Clinton is less than 15-miles from the site.

Despite the fact that distance, conflicting schedules and disparate interests tend to keep us apart, the brothers did voice their desire to keep the tradition of these meetings going. A fund was started to replace the Memorial Loving Cup, lost in the furor accompanying the demise of Beta chapter. The cup commemorates Brothers Perry Joe Mabry, '61, Peter R. Norris, '62, William Reinherr, '61, and Pledge Thomas A. Benesch, killed 21 years ago that weekend in a car wreck. Brothers wishing to contribute may forward their donations for a new, solid silver cup to Jack J. Haplea, 310 Portland Drive, Huron, Ohio 44389.

It is further hoped that Western Reserve Betas living in the Greater Cleveland area will even :ually provide greater support for the Case Western Reserve chapter at 2255 Murray Hill Road. These younger brothers are working hard to preserve the traditions and lore that made our Beta days on our adjoining campuses fine memories worth preserving . Their warm hospitality ac corded this writer has never been matched: they are indeed, very much Betas in the old Beta tradition. (By Thomas A. Lipton, Western Reserve '63.)

WESTMINSTER

The brothers of Alpha Delta returned to campus with a sense of renewed enthusiasm - and with good reason as the chapter won the Virginia Tech Award, the award given to the most academically outstanding chapter of Beta Theta Pi, during last summer's General Convention. Alpha Delta also has continued its dominance on the athletic field, having won the IFC Intramural Supremacy trophy for the 11th time in the last 13 years.

Having pledged 22 cream-of-the-crop young men earlier in the fall, the house has thrown its support behind Pledge Trainer Larry D. Kay, '83, and Lore Teacher Jeffrey L. Jaeger, '83, in helping the pledge class develop. The fact that five of the six freshman Student Government Assn . representative positions open were filled by ·Beta pledges serves as an indication of the strength of this year's pledge class. Thanks for an outstanding rush go to Scott A. Lawder, '84, Charles J. Roussin, '83, and Frank Whitbeck, '69, who financed a very successful Arkansas summer rush party.

Alpha Delta continues to excel in the area of social service Working with the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority, the brothers experienced the ups and of a See-Saw-Athon in raising money for the NatiOnal Leukemia Foundation.

WEST VIRGINIA

After a very successful year under the l e adership of William H Lively, '82, Be ta Psi is continuing to show increasing signs of strength and spirit. David W Pancake, '83 , is our new president and has taken his position with an unyielding desire to create a positive constructive attitud e among our brothers With his strong effort and the guidance of Rush Chairman Michael Ford, '83 , the fall rush has proved to be very successful. It has brought 18 quality men to our doorstep with a relentless will to become Betas. This will add to the depth of th e house and benefit its future as a stronghold at West Virginia University.

The start of the semester saw the brothers, with an enthusiast' c combined effort, work hard on improving the house Our first job was to clean-up fallen trees and branches which lay strewn about our grounds by the summer ' s tornados. Fortunately the house was spared any major damage. Overall the zest of care and hard work put into improvements are reflected in the house ' s grandeur and beauty. Ye s the Beta mansion at the top of the hill is as impressive as ever.

Always a big event at West Virginia University is Homecoming Week The Betas teamed up with the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority and participated in the float, cheer, song and banner comp e t itions Following the WVU victory ov e r Boston College t h e tailgate party was taken to the Beta house. The big turn -out proved that Beta spirit never dies. It gave us a great chance to meet our alumni , and for all of our alumni who shared in this festive ev e nt with us, we thank you very much

Again this fall, the Betas have shown strong participation in all campus intramurals. Post-s e ason play is expected for our football, voll ey ball and tennis teams. A new adventure in sports for the Be tas is our marathon bask e tball ga me for charit y , set for early next semester Besides collecting money for charity, our goal is to set a n e w world r e cord as observed by the Guinness Book of W o rld R e co rds of 96 hours of basketball. Good luck Be tas!

The house welcomes a gradu a te in ch e mistry , W Arthur Berta!, '82 , to Beta Psi, a transfer from Bethany. Art is our Tutor-in-R e sidence, and is ever supportive in helping us in our studi e s With our large number of engineering stud e nts Art will be very valuable .

This fall sees the inauguration of a newsl e tter titled Top of the Hill , initiat e d by Michael Ford, vice president of alumni affairs. The purpose of th1s newsletter is to get alumni more active in pres e nt Beta Psi affairs

Finally we extend our cordial invitation to all our alumni to visit our house and share in our thriving Beta spirit, helping us maintain a strong We look forward to your visit. (Richard P. Mucelh, '83, Secretory)

WHITMAN

With the addition of 29 pledges, our house is stronger than ever and looks forward to a successful year .

Thomas Gustafson, '83, is doing a great job of integrating our pledge class into the house through some new programs. We are instituting the tradition of pledge paddles by having the pledges talk to each active and having them sign their carved paddles. This will help them meet every active, including the "live-outs." To keep the house in better condition, the housing corporation and actives decided to institute daily pledge work parties to continuously keep the living area of the house in top shape. This brings the pledges over for meals, and lets them become more involved in the house. They also have chosen to remodel the sleeping porch, an ambitious pledge project. They are planning on putting in a sound proof study room, a lounge area and storage lockers, which will be appreciated greatly. The refinished wooden floors in t)le living section and new carpet add tremendously to the looks of the house.

We are looking forward to competing for the Whitman College Choral Cup in the spring, and hope to win it for the second consecutive year. Last year our chapter began sponsoring the award, hoping to further the singing tradition in Beta Theta Pi through competition for this cup.

Under the leadership of President Douglas Kaimakis, '83, we are instituting many new activities. We are sponsoring round table discussions every other week, inviting a faculty member tl'l the chapter house and discussing current issues in that professor's field. Supporting an alcohol awareness week is another project we are working on . We hope to get some speakers on this topic, such as alum Gary LaRose, to the house. We wish to expo se some of the potential dangers of alcohol to the campus and chapter. We also are trying to improve relations with the Walla Walla community, and to do so have chosen Jim Wiemer, a respected businessman in the Walla Walla area, as our community relations advisor. We have frequent meetings on casual terms with members of the community at his establis hm ent, and discuss topics of mutual concern.

Betas are active in a variety of sports. We are well represented in nearly every varsity sport, including baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, skiing, swimming , tennis and the club sports, lacrosse and rugby . Intramural football is an ever popular sport among Betas and the Division I team hopes to regain the crown it lost last year. So far we are undefeated and are the favorites. There are three Division II teams, the Bonewahs, Stonewahs and Beta II, which are having

Our soci a chairman, Steven LaRose, '85, has come up wit: some great ideas, including raffling off a trip for tw • to a nearby resort at our October Dance. With in novations such as this, we will continue to have interesting and enjoyable social life.

With the enthusiasm shown in all phases of cam pus life, we will continue to build on our soli! strength at Gamma Zeta. We are looking forward t1 what cannot help but be one of our best year s eveD (Michael J. Sailer, '83, Secretary)

rush which lasted from the middle of spring s emester through the summer and finally ended S ept. 30. D elta Gamma pledged 21 fine young men whom we hope will contribute much to Beta Th eta Pi in the near future. Brother McBride did an excellent job with our fall rush with the help of John S elsor, ' 83, and Mark Sellers, '84. Special thanks also to Christopher Christian, '71, for the rush party he sponsored at his home this past summer. The food was great and the fellowship with Betas and rushees help bring us even closer together as a fraternity.

Along with a successful rush, much was done to Improve our Spanish-style house at 1845 N. Hillside Kedge Wellshear, ' 84, led the way in this departm en t with the remodeling of our bathroom Much time and effort was put in on Brother Wellshear's part and the end result was quite stunning! Thanks also to President Joseph Sieverling, '83, and Bradley Wathne , '83, for their time spent on the remodeling effort. A new screen door was installed on our front do or, and a new pop machine also was acquired Mark S ellers came through again and our lawn looks the best it ever has, though our homecoming hous e display should have some adverse effects on the grass .

Delta Gamma is off to a fine start in intramural sports with an undefeated first place finish in softball. Football also is rolling with a 3-0 record so far in the season Our goal is another Ap-Sports Trophy and we expect to have a perfect sweep in the intr amural race this year. Trent Buterbaugh, '84 , has done a fine job as our intramural representative in planning our sports strategy and keeping an upper hand in the campus intramural office. Also under our b elt for this fall is the first place trophy in the Delta Gamma Sorority Anchor Splash. This is a n event coveted by all fraternities here at Wichita State. It

A strong foundation in academics at Delta Gamma is being continued by Scholarship Chairman John Selsor. Brother Selsor is pushing everyone hard in hopes of fulfilling the goal of a 3.0 plus gpa set by the late Dr Worth A. Fletcher, ' 25.

On the lighter side of college life, our annual fall Hawaiian Party held in late September was a hug e success. It took place at a "tropical island" sandbar on the Niniscah River a few miles outside of Wichita The partygoers enjoyed an evening of fun, refreshment and dancing in the sand with music provided by our own Attic Sound Much tha nks to Social Chairman M Todd Johnson, ' 84. A Halloween Party is planned for early November and, of course, everyone is looking forward to the Beta Betty Coed Christmas Formal held in December.

Brad Wathne is our chairman this year a nd we are lookin g for our fourth " sweep" of all events which include house display, pledge float, added attractions and the overall trophy.

We would like to congratulate newlyweds, Mr and Mrs. Neal S chreine r, '83, Mr . and Mrs. Gregory Town e, ' 81 , and Mr . and Mrs. Michael Harrington, '84 They will be missed greatly by the m e n of Delta Gamma and we wish them the best of luck and much happiness in the years to come.

WILLAMETTE

Sparked by the attainment of a truly excellent pledge class in Sept em b er, the Betas here at Gamma Sigma are vivaci ously thrusting forward into ano th er academic and prosp e rous year.

Th e semester started with a complete house redecoration project spearheaded by the lively enthusiasm and out-of-control energy of Andrew R. Buie , '85. After this tempo was set, the Be t as d ' dn ' t s ee m to look back and continued to dominate the athlet ic , academic and soci al a r enas at Willamette University. On the socc er field , it clearly was John Hitchman, '84 , and George Wells, '85 , that pushed and literally led the so ccer team to the most successful season it has had in years

After our totalitarian dominance of the school's intramural program last year, the Beta s are on top again and are heavily favored to repeat.

Regardless of Gamma Si gma's continual obsession to study and ascen d the road to academic excellence, there were a few occasions for jubilant festivities which were a break from the intellectual grind of the normal day. Under the sagacious dire ction of T Robert Knowles, '84, timely and very successful social activities were convivial interludes freshly partitioning the first semester.

In charge of the fraternal hi ear chy was the very frolicsome and charismatic president, William Lester Sherrod , '83. Under Bill's supervision came the total revamping of the pledge program as well as future house goals Gregory Hansen, '83, and David (Shlep]

Babcock , '85, have taken over the mon e tary crisis of the fraternity with their pat e nted " New Wave " tactics

At Gamm a Sigma, we are anticipating a great spring sem e st e r and invite all alumni and Be ta brothers in th e area to come by the hous e anytime for advice and / or fe llowship . Also, we remind all alumni to be on the lookout for the word on our next annual alumni function which will probably be som etime in the early spring. Best of luck to all of you and we hope to see you soon! [Jeffrey J. Brown, '83, Corresponding Secretary)

WRIGHT STATE

The brothers of Delta Phi have just put a busy and exhausting year behind them. Fall '81 saw 11 dynamic pledges initiated and spring gave us four more true Betas. On the strength of th e se 15 men, D e lta Phi was taken off of the troubled chapters list by the 143rd General Convention But our growth hasn't stopped yet! Fall '82 has produced over 20 pledges, including our second l e gacy. We intend to show that even in the environment of an all-commuter c a mpus , Beta spirit will prevail.

The chapter, led by new officers, President Kirby Gaboury, '84, Vice President Phil Ali, '84, and Treasurer Frederick Hairston, '84, has gotten off to a tremendous start this fall. In addition to all of the traditional rush parties, the chapter has b e en involved in many other activities , such as road trips, charitable events and fund raisers. The Betas once again sold their famous brats and metts at the allcampus pa'rty of October Daze, outselling every one but the beer truck.

This fall Delta Phi will be celebrating its 5th anniversary with a very special banqu e t Our guest speaker will be former Gen e ral Secretary Col. Richard R. (Misty] Shoop, Denison '41, our chapter adviser and a Beta legend

The stars of Beta Theta Pi are shining brighter than

ever at Wright State, and will continue to grow in the years to come. (David L. Moorman, '84, Secretary)

WITTENBERG

Upon returning to campus this fall, the term seems to be headed in a successful direction. On Sept. 181 e ight pl e dges were initiated into the halls of Alpha Gamma The house is continuing to grow in size. Fali term also marked the loss of 10 seniors, who will be missed greatly.

Fall term has been a busy time and, as usual, thlf · brothers have been involved in many extracurricular activities . These activities include: music director of WUSO, feature editor of the Torch, members of Union Board, and players on the rugby and lacross e teams

This term, we have been working on the renova tion of the house. This is something badly-needed The upstairs hall and main stairwell have been painted Plans also are being made to renovate the basement into a new chapter room, but funds are badly needed. There are a lot of long-needed improvements , and it is our hope that we will receive support.

Homecoming Weekend was held on Oct. 9-10. Many alumni returned for an enjoyable event. The turnout from last year ' s graduating class was exceptional. We are thankful for all of the support we received.

This term also marks the loss of some great athletes who contributed to intramurals Timothy Jarm , '82, the quarterback for the Wittenberg Tigers, will be missed for his help on the softball and basketball teams. Andrew Bast, ' 82, was an example of great spirit, as he participated in practically all of the events Samuel Moffie, '82, will be remembered for all the motivation that he gathered for the teams. The competition in this year ' s intramurals will be tough, when one considers the loss of last year's seniors. [Nick Thomas Ill, '84, Corresponding S ecretary)

California. As an Omega alumnus, I have' been monitoring California ' s progress over the past few years with special interest The house has suffered from numerous setbacks during that time, including probation from all rush privileges in the fall of 1980. However, I am very proud to report a marked turnaround for Omega.

Early this past summer a decision was reached by the Omega House Corp. to invest in rebuild :ng parts of the house which have deteriorated to an intolerable and unsafe state. These improvements have included new bathrooms on the second and third floors, a new deck adjacent to the dining room and abo.ve the entry to the house, new doors and frames for each member's room and new paint on the first floor and front of the house. Since these improvements, a new attitude has developed among the membership with respect for their surroundings I encourage all Omega and other Betas to drop by 2728 Channing Way and view the improvements.

With continued strong leadership in the chapter and further direction from the alumni board, Omega can look forward to its strongest years in recent memory.

Stanford. Lambda Sigma continues as a strong fraternity on the Stanford campus, although one that is, unfortunately, not always aware of the ongoing presence of Beta outside of Stanford More importantly, though, the Stanford chapter remains full and very unified .

Last spring saw another 12 members pledge Lambda Sigma. Again I attended a feast at the house prepared by Bailey S. (Biff) Barnard, '67, alumni president. Stanford also was able to send approximately 10 men to the annual Banquet sponsored by the San Francisco Beta Club, attended by over 100 Betas. The members were able to meet a number of Betas from throughout the country .

I see no reason why Stanford will not enjoy another outstanding year. The house is in excellent standing with the university, and will continue to learn about the General Fraternity and what makes Beta so great throughout its broad domain.

DISTRICT XXX

British Columbia. On a campus which has seen ex · treme change in student activities in the last years the outstanding characteristic of Gamma Omicro n has been its ability to keep the fundamental prin ' ciples of Beta Theta Pi maintained. The chapte l alumni would certainly recognize the same Beta spirit of brotherhood and friendship as existed during theiJ undergraduate years

Gamma Omicron has continued to focus on piir· ticipation in athletics with excellent intramural achievement. The chapter members support the Greek system which continues to gain strength on the campus. The Gamma Omicron Betas are facin g some solid competition in rush and intramurals. The chapter succeeds best when under such competitive conditions . Gamma Omicron continues to practice Beta traditions and brotherhood as thoroughly and completely as any outstanding Beta chapter. Its participation on a General Fraternity level has been rewarding. Each group of undergraduates !llUSt continue to strive to uphold these traditions.

Puget Sound. Delta Epsilon is an outstanding of this fraternity. It has grown from an ambitious, petitioning local to a strong Beta chapter celebrating its 20th anniversary this fall.

The chapter's greatest achievement has been the development of a strong sense of identity, purpose and direction This has not come easily, many actives and alumni over many years have worked toward it. Chapter policies and goals are well-thought-out and clear. The chapter maintains its local traditions as well as the finest Beta ones.

Chapter members remain active and influential In most phases of university life. The Betas have been involved in IFC responsibility and continue to do so. Chapter members continue to win positions in student government and to gain honors athletically and academically.

In the rapidly-changing university environment, complacency must be avoided. Increased alumni activity has improved and enhanced the chapter. The continued participation and involvement of upperclassmen in the daily life of the chapter is also a key to this chapter's success.

Washington. Beta Omega is an outstanding and challenging chapter of Beta Theta Pi. The chapter and campus are large with changes happening quickly and with some magnitude.

The chapter house currently is in excellent repair due to the extensive renovations sponsored by the alumni association. The chapter executive appears willing to communicate with the General Fraternity and sincere about restoring more of the traditions of Beta Theta Pi. Matters of correspondence with the General Fraternity require improvement. finance became a major problem this year. Steps must be taken to improve reporting functions and financial responsibility As of this writing, membership fees to the General Fraternity were still out· standing.

Beta Omega is one of the major fraternities on tbe University of Washington campus. It is a significant rush rival to other large houses. The chapter should work toward more significant participation and assistance from the alumni and the General Fraternity.
