PRESIDENT'S REPORT

It might come as a great relief to the Editor and most of the membership if all that followed that caption was: "Sorry, I have nothing to report!" But that would be untrue, for actually I have good news to report! As you peruse and then read this issue carefully, you will soon discover that our fraternity is healthy and growing stronger. The reports of the Province Conferences, the increased number of pledges, and the improving climate of our campuses for Greeks give promise of a brighter future. Some of you have been most thoughtful and appreciative of these editorial efforts, but when I started this report on January 25th, the birthday of Robert Burns, a fellow Scot, I recalled his wise observation: "0 wad some power the giftie gie us, to see oursels as others see us!" and a month passed before I wrote another line! I have no Orpheus complex, that delirium that one's words of wisdom have the cadence and power to charm all humans and a few rocks! One recalls that old Orpheus went to perdition! Doesn't everyone who thinks his words possess irresistible enchantment? Many of the alumni readers would like to forget commuting, but as one compelled to do more recently I found the springboard for a few thoughts in my experiences with the CTA-Chicago Transit Authority. I hate to pay to ride in such discomfort, but who wants to buck the traffic and then buy one's car back from a parking

2

attendant in order to return to suburbia. To get there and back we have to pay! One of the great concerns of our society is the vast number of people who try to avoid paying. So many try to steal a ride and thumb their way through life. Tragically they are considered clever but in reality they are bums and scroungers. We have them in the brotherhood! Ask the treasurers and the stewards of some of our chapters who see the deficits on the ledgers for dues, board and room! It is not brotherly to carry them, for those who do pay must in reality pay for the delinquents. Too many accept the ride through life without any sense of indebtedness. Some want to ride on a pass. Others want to go half fare . Some never grow up and would like to go through life on a perambulator. Then there are those who crowd the youth area for student stand-by tickets on the strength of the ID card which fails to note that they

are perpetual students-some age thirty-five! All of us owe a debt to our parents, our alma maters, whose very existence depends on the sacrifice of thousands whose gifts and shared responsibility have made our colleges and universities possible! They are that crowd of witnesses who support the hospitals, homes for the aged, and the vast number of institutions represented in the Community Chest drives. They are the ones who pay and help those who cannot, and praises be, they are the majority and they keep the world morally solvent! Yes, Brothers, and since 1834 the men of Delta Upsilon have kept our . fraternity solvent financially, morally and spiritually. We have all known the benefits derived from those who have faith and all of us once pledged when we were initiated that "Justice, Culture and Morality would be the motives of our lives as they have been the motives of OUT union." One of the brothers wrote to me recently and said: "For every effort I have made for DU, I have been more than repaid by the close friendships, the invaluable experiences, and the variety of challenges I have been exposed to over the years. I continue to be in debt to our fraternity!" Aren't we all? Report closed. Fraternally,

The iJledges of initiation Throughout the history of Delta Up silon Fraternity, committees studying the organization and effectiveness of the Fraternity have made considerable impact on the evolving programs and structure. In the late nineteen sixties, committees studying the overall operation and function of Delta Upsilon determined that it was desirable to relocate the Fraternity's headquarters from New York City to Indianapolis, Indiana. Concurrently, another study group focused on improvements in the basic organization table, with the resultant restructuring of the Board of Directors, the development of the Undergraduate Advisory Board, and the addition of a voting undergraduate director. While these changes were being undertaken, the entire fraternity system and every Delta Upsilon chapter was undergoing vast changes and transitions to meet the challenges of changed student interests, student priorities, and educa" tional environment. To keep abreast of these developments, Delta Upsilon conducted an every-undergraduate survey, RESPONSE '71, which attempted to rneasure undergraduate attitudes abou t existing Fraternity programs and experiences, and to give some ideas about their aspirations for personal Fraternity involvement. Thus the idea of attempting, on an international level, to project the future goals and aspirations of Delta Upsilon came at a time when there was widespread concern (and some pessimism) about the health and future of the fraternity system. It was then, with this background, that the Board of Dil"ectms of the Fraternity enthusiastically endorsed the proposal to study the future of Delta Upsilon and called upon Terry L. Bullock, Kansas State '61, a Director of the Fraternity, to head the committee. The Committee which was appointed included alumni and undergraduate members, and all have been invo,lved in the considerable range of studies under1taken. DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY路

As undergraduate representatives concluded their college careers or their tenn of office, replacements were made within th committee. Membership included the following: Bruce S. Bailey, Denison '58, Treasurer of the Fraternity Douglas Breeden, Technology '72, 71-72 member of Undergraduate Committee Ralph N . Childs, Florida '73, 70"72 member of Undergraduate Committee Donald D. Cowe, Tennessee '73, Chairman, Undergraduate Advismy Board Gary J. Golden, Rutgers '74, Undergraduate Director O. Edward Pollock, Virginia '51 , ViceChair"man and Chairman UGAC Terry L. Bullock, Kansas State '61, Chair" man and Director In addition, the President of the Fraternity James C. McLeod, Middlebury '26 and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, W . D. Watkins, North Carolina '27 have been deeply involved in the Committee's work. The Committee also enjoyed the advice and counsel of many other members of the Fraternity, as well as that of distinguished educators, experts and advisors in a number of related fields. Among those members of the Fraternity who have appeared before the Committee me: Louis M. Arcand, Toronto '73; John C. Bausano, Georgia T ech '74; Michael A. Bullock, North Carolina '72; Joseph T. Doyle, l\1aryland '73; Thomas P. Drew, Maine '74; Bruce H . Fellows, Wisconsin '50; J. M. Gilchrist, Cornell '39 and Georgia Tech '68, Honorary; Donald E. Larew, Iowa State '63; Dennis McClellan, Washington State '73; Michael Shull, Kansas State '75; John W. Smith, III, Maryland '73; Howard W. Watts, Dartmonth '50; Samuel M. Yates, San Jose '55; Mark S. Young, Illinois '73; and Thomas M. Zirbel, Washington State '74. It should be emphasized that many o[ the preliminary recommendations of the Committee have been ab-eady implemented following the presentation of periodic reports to the Board of Directors, the Undergraduate Advisory Board, Convention and Assembly. No reference will be made hereafter to such previously accomplished recommendations. The Committee met first in a day-long session in New York City in December of 1971, met again in April of that year in Indianapolis in conjunction with the Board of Directors meeting; conducted an open session at the Leadership Conference and Convention in August of 1972 in an attempt to provide undergraduate delegates with an opportunity for expression on a variety of issues; and met again in December of 1972 to review its progress and to make general xecommendations as a result of its xesearch and conclusions.

AP1'il, 1973

Between meetings, committee membel"S and others conducted extensive reseaxch into all aspects of Fraternity operations. Studies of chapter services were undertaken by Douglas Breeden, Technology '72 and Ralph Childs, FloTida '73, with the xesulting publication of a Services and Activities guide for chapter member use and education; a periodic Quarterly feature on Services and Activities to acquaint alumni and undergraduate to these benefits of fraternity membership; and a more forceful presentation of these advantages in a bxocIrure entitled "What You Use is What You Get". In addition, a financial facts pxesentalion was made at the 1972 Province Conferences and a folder dealing with the budget was widely distributed to chapters. T.here was general agreement of the need for increases in the pledge and initiation fees, since they had not been changed since 1965 and the combined effect of inflation and diminished income made additional revenues absolutely essential, if the Fraternity was not to be sexiously imperiled. An extensive study of the operating practices, staffing and mission of the International Fratexnity Headquarters was conducted by O. Edward Pollock, in which it was xeported that the headquarters was very well organized and efficiently operated, using fewer clerical and administrative staff members than many comparable fraternities. There was some equipment which would be helpful, but budget considerations made it necessary to defer this at the present time. A statement of the purpose and goals of the Committee was presented for the approval of the delegates to the Leadership Conference and Convention in 1972 by the Chairman, Terry L. Bullock. A great deal of time was spent in studying the immediate financial problems of Delta Upsilon as well as projecting the fu ture financial requirements of a more dynamic fraternity. The development of specific goals in this axea is one of the strong recommendations of the Committee. Several standing committees of the Farternity provided help and advice, and their work was essential to the finished recommendations. Perhaps most significant has been the work of the Financial Planning and the Trust Fund sub-committee in establishing objectives for invested monies, growth, and in planning three year projections of income and expense as related to general pTiorities of the Fraternity. This effort is a most important develop ment in the attempt to resolve both long range and short term financial needs. Brother Bullock made an extensive study of each publication of the International Fraternity and provided an overall evaluation [hal most were good, and that what was needed was to make each member aware of t1hese and other re-

3


sources which are available through the International F·raternity. Executive Secretary Butler prepared a substantial study on the topic of chapter dynamics, development and research as it related to then known findings about chapter operations. This was used as a working resource for the Committee. The goal of the Committee has been to make specific recommendations as a result of its studies, with the anticipation that they would be implemented after necessary approvals from the Board of Directors, Convention and Assembly. In that the report of the Future Committee recommends many changes and improvements in programs which will not be possible until the financi<lJl resources of the Fraternity improve, or until standing committees make specific and rather detailed recommendations in several areas of development, it is impossible to write a concluding or final report of the Future Committee. Like many of the previous study committees of the Fraternity, much will depend upon the way in which each member of the Fraternity meets the challenge of c0pImitment made on the day of his initiation. For those of us who have studied the organism which is Delta Upsilon and have plumbed its directions, the considerable investment in time and effort has not been without the l"ewarding conviction that there is a tremendous opportunity and vast potential for Delta Upsilon Fraterni ty to make an increasingly vital contribution in the lives of individuals.

1.

RECOMMENDATIONS ASSEMBLY

The Committee studied the Assembly, as it had been reviewed numerous times previously in such studies. Although this unique bicameral legislative form is difficult to sustain it does have specific advantages which cannot be duplicated and should be retained. The Committee recommends that each chapter be made aware of the importance of selecting a good chapter Trustee, one who will be closely in communication with the chapter as well as a contributing member of the Assembly.

ALUMNI

crease alumni undergraduate involvement (which recommendations is detailed, in part, hereafter).

3.

CONTACT POINTS

Identification of key contact points between the member and the International Fraternity was another major pri. ority of the Committee. Five basic areas were isolated: A. Quarl.eTly. W'ork on the Quarterly, which came about as a result of a special Board committee studying the improvement of the magazine coincided with this Committee's recommendations on the desirability of changing the publication. The Committee notes that budget restrictions have seriously hampered the effectiveness of the Quarte1"ly as a communications medium. Restoration of the magazine to its former size, in terms of number of pages, is deemed vitally important by the Committee. The Committee recommends that the present committee studying the improvement of the QuaTterly be continued and that prior budgetary cuts be restored when possible. B. Manual. The Committee found that the Manual, like the Quartel"ly, is almost universally read by undergraduates, it being, therefore an important communications medium. vVith this in mind, the Committee believes that substantial improvement should he made in t.he book and, in fact, revision is now in process. The Committee l'ecommends that a special subcommittee be appointed to study and recommend further revision to include, for example, distinguished alumni notables; improvement of the section on Fraternity history so as to highlight some of t.he more interesting and valuable his· torical incidents surrounding the develop· ment of the Fraternity; and better information on the roles and function of key alumni officers such as the Trustee, Deputy, Counselors, and corporation officers. C. Leadership COnfel"enCe and Convention. During the time when this study was under way, the

and t.hat the affairs of the Fraternity in every chapter and at aU levels will be materially enhanced by more aJlumni undergraduate interface. Undergraduates want and need more contact with alumni, and the Committee believes that the alumni will benefit as well. The Committee recommends the strongest effort be made at every level to in-

D.

Province ConferencelOfficen Seminm·s. These conferences re-

ceived a good deal of attention from the Committee, the basic concept being firmly endorsed. The Committee l'ecommends that four or five regional conferences be held, com· bining the provinces into geographically convenient areas, and that a team of alumni and staff be assembled to conduct all of the meetings. It was agreed th at more chapter officers and members should be encouraged to attend the Province Conferences and that with the combination of two or more provinces into one area, it would be necessary to find other housing and sites which are geographically central. Without l"egard to budget, the Committee Tecommends that the standard of the Province Conferences be brought up to the standard of the Leadership Conference, and that the concept of campus locations and host chapters be eliminated. Finally, the Committee Tec"· ommends that a special subcommittee to study and recommend further improvement be promptly appointed. E. Field Staff. Field staff organization, contacts with chapters, and the reporting and infonnation collection system now being used were topics which occupied a considerable amount of Committee time. The Committee l"ecommends that field staff contact be continued with chapters, that emphasis be placed on helping chapters, and that this will make necessary many different techniques and approaches. Formal reports for chapters must be shortened and made more essay-like and personalized to each chapter. Since the field man is a primary contact point between undergraduate officers and members, it is important that the men selected be sensilive and able to communicate the benefits and advantages of International Fraternity affiliation continuously.

that a special subcommittee, (perhaps peopled in part by former "field men") to sludy and recommend further fmprovement in field staff operations be promptly appointed. (Caveat: All recommended subcommittees must have ample undergraduate representation .)

4. GOVERNORS-DEPUTIES Improvement of the Governor-Deputy program is necessary, and the initiation of an annual training seminar for Provo ince Governors, recently implemented at the 1972 Convention, should be expanded to Deputies and Counselors whenever possible. The Committee l'ecommends, without regard to financial resources available. that an additional member of the headquarters staff be employed to have the

5.

CHAPTER ITANDARDS

On the matter of chapter standards, the Committee notes that the Undergraduate Acivities Committee is already at work on this vital project and commends the work in progress as being very necessary to the continued well-being and strength of Delta Upsilon. The Committee I'ecommends that" this work by the Undergraduate Activities Committee be hastened to conclusion for the general improvement of the Fraternity and the better allocation of its resources.

6.

HOUSING

Housing patterns which can be expected in the decade were reviewed by the Com· mittee. While there are no specific recommendations with regard to housing, the Committee feels that all housing corporations and chapters should be sensitive to the need to find creative uses for existing physical plants; and that new ones should reflect the changing student lifestyles and preferences for increased privacy.

9.

PARTING SHOTS

The committee believes that the Fraternity can and should be an expanding experience, not one which is personally limiting in any way or retardant of personal growth and development. There should be in the Fraternity a sense of concern, commitment, and an intensive climate of interpersonal involvement. We believe that in the process of making Delta Upsilon more meaningful and contemporary that we will find in the Fraternity the excitement, dynamic development of individual resources and abilities ' which encouraged the Founders to establish our great Fraternity. "\Ie cannot believe that the merit and worth of Delta Upsilon is not worth the challenge and the struggle to improve that which has natural merit and will continue to be worthy .of support as we continue to search out means of renewal. The Committee Tecommends that the Committee on the Future of Delta Upsilon be continued in existence to continue to carry out its charge and to complete its largely unfinished work.

Two New Province Governors Named

MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

The highest single priority of the Commitee was determined to be the need for the development of a four year membership development program of resources and concept~ for undergraduate chapters. The Committee recommends that such a plan, already in the initial development stages, have the total support of the Fraternity in its creation and the widest possible implementation by every undergraduate chapter once the plan becomes a reality.

8.

FINANCES

In terms of priorities, the Committee feels that finding solutiollis to longrange and immediate financial problems, and providing an adequate financial base for the overall operations of Delta Upsilon is one of the most serious, vexatious, continuing challenges of the decade. Steps to develop long-range giving potentials of alumni provide part of the long-term solution for the ever-increasing demands to provide more challenging and dynamic resources and programs. The Committee recommends that th e present committee studying these mattel"S be encouraged to conclude their work to the end that immediate steps can be taken to improve the general position of the Fraternity.

Comment on Fraternity

No Little Plans "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans,' aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram, once recorded, ~vill never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever growing insistency." -Daniel Burnham The future of the fraternity system and each Delta Upsilon chapter belongs to the planners, to the thinkers, to those who reach for the goals previously thought unattainable and achieve them. One of the enviable provinces of leadership is to lead. We are in the midpoint of a very critical transition for fraternities. What efforts we devote to realizing the most ambitious plans will make a big part of the difference between just surviving, not surviving at all, and being an exciting, ongoing, personally enlarging experience. At the start, nobody ever predicted that the fraternity system would grow and prosper, much less continue. Against the most insurmountable odds, fraternities have grown, prospered and continued through good times and bad. Even in the turmoil and confusion which has characterized recent years in higher education, there have been planners and thinkers. To them is owed a great deal of the vitality, of the quiet change which has been going on in fraternity groups everywhere. Among the imperatives for renewal is the ability to live with change, to identify it, to be comfortable with it, and to seek out new directions. We can be proud of our rich heritage, of the vision of those who have gone before, but we cannot be satisfied with that. Recounting bygone glories or halting to recount elaborate failures may be instructive, but not very vital. It is not too surprising that there never was a great Delta Upsilon chapter anywhere that was untouched by some planning, some goals agreed upon, set, and then by inches and by strain, achieved. Looking ahead really separates the excellent from the also-ran. So in Delta Upsilon we have become budding futurists and have been studying in great detail the futures of the Fraternity. What are the options which are available? What are the preceivable challenges and what are those goals not so easily realized? That is not to say that our future planning group is an instant panacea. That it clearly is not. But, it is the best efforts of a talented and interested high level task force to make no little plans. Each of us has something to contribute to the important planning which should and could go on in every chapter. Start thinking today about your contribution to the renewal of your fraternity. Fraternally yours,

Aggressive Retail Leader

Carter is regent and vice chairman of the University of California, a trustee of the Brookings Institution, director of the Stanford Research Institute, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Occidental College, and a Director of the Council for Financial Aid to Education. Carter, who received an MBA at Harvard in 1937, is on the Overseers Visiting Committee of the Harvard Graduate School, and is a member of the Visiting Committee of the UCLA Graduate School of Management. His corporate directorships include American Telephone and Telegraph Company, Del Monte Corporation, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, Southern California Edison Company, and ''\Iestern Bancorporation and its subsidiary, United California Bank.

Edward W. Carter Edward William Carter, UCLA '32, Chairman of Broadway-Hale Stores, Inc., is one of North America's leading retailers and most influential businessmen in Southern California. From a modest beginning in 1946 when he purchased 25,000 shares of stock in the original Broadway Department Stores organization, his holdings have increased steadily until today he is among the company's largest stock holders, with holdings worth about $10 million. Broadway-Hale, one of the early regional department store chains and largest independent in the West is growing there and branching' out with the add~tion of top-quality retail stores. Neiman-Marcus Company, purchased in 1969, is adding stores outside of its traditional Texas location; the company purchased the 23-store chain of Holt, Renfrew & Company in Canada in 1972; and recently Bergdorf Goodman Company in New York City. At the same time Broadway-Hale is growing in its other retail enterprises: over 50 department stores (Broadway, Emporium, Capwell's, Weinstock's) in California, Arizona, and Nevada; Walden Book Company, which runs leased book shops in 54 department stores and operates 153 free-standing Walden book stores; and Sunset House, the larg'est novelty mail-order house. An incisive corporate executive who looks forward to building sales to the billion dollar mark, Carter has directed the Broadway-Hale organization growth in size and dominance. At the same time, Carter has 'developed a reputation as a community leader. Franklin D. Murphy, chairman of the Los Angeles Times-Mirror Company says, "If somebody wants to get someth ing done in this city, and if he can g¡et Ed Carter centrally involved, then he's got a good guarantee of success."

''\Ihile all of this may sound easy, Kodak's strong marketing emphasis and continued earnings growth is strong evidence of the aggressive development of consumer oriented product which has been a, hallmark.

and it u sually turns out to be a better job than th e last one," that's a work e thic whi ch Semon E. Knudsen , T echnology '36, articulated. Knudsen, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of 'Vhite Motor Corporation, has led a spectacular turnaround of t.he Cleveland-based truck manufacturer. He moved it from a $5.6 million loss in tbe third quarter of 1971 to a profit of $1.1 III i Ilion on sales of $226 million in the equival ent period in 1972. In the process, Knudsen restructured t.h e company, established new lines of credit with banks, recruited top execLltives, eliminated unproductive product lin es, budgeted for new product development and research and shook up th e company's dealer network. Under this dynamic leadership stock has jumped from $22 to $71, and his family holding's to $17 million. Born in Buffalo, New York, Knudsen is the on ly SOil of the late 'Villiam S. Kundsen, who was president of General Motors from 1937 to 1940 and directed the nation 's industrial production during "Vorld War II. 1<ollowing graduation from MIT in 1936, Knudsen worked in a number of Detroit. machine shops and joined the General. Motors manufacturing staff in 1939. Promotions followed regularly until in 1968 he was a top General Motors vice-president.. ''''hen Knlldsen, a top contender for the General Motors presidency in 1968, was not. se.Iccted, he shifted to president of Ford Motor Company, but lost out in a power strug-g'1e with the current president.

Job-S~~~ ' OversupE1x may last until 1976 or '77, according to Professor Frank S. Endicott, director of placement at Northwestern University, and moderator of our Career Seminar at the Leadership Conference last August. In his 27th annual survey of key business f i rms, Dr. Endicott found that most expect the current oversupply of college graduates to last at least until 1976 or 1977. Demand for engineers is growing, followed by such fields ~s ' ac足 counting, computer science, marketing and finance. But only seven of the 164 companies replied tha\ they predicted an upturn of jobs in business administration.

We've just received a number of old, very handsome Delta Upsilon badges, fifty years old or more, which will become the very treasured posseSSions of newly installed chapters. The supply of these older badges is totally dependant upon loyal alumni who generously give the Fraternity their fraternity badges. We're still several badges short, and would welcome additions. Very old badges are placed in the Fraternity's historical . collection which is presently stored in the archives vault. ~1

Across the continent many campuses re- . port pledgings are up, and initiations will follow that trend shortly it is expected. The respected American Council on Education stuoy of 188,000 freshmen men 'and women indicate that seventeen percent think it likely that they will rushano pledge a fraternity or sorority, that's an increase over the same study just a year ago. There's room for guarded optimism and certainly a great deal more positive attitude on the part of everyone connected with the fraternity system. If you haven't been back -to' your chapter recently, the spring reunions held on many college campuses would be a good time for a visit. We'll think that you will be pleasantly surprised.

,!!equests ~ ~ maj or source of improving the financial abilities of the International Fraternity. The front cover of this issue features the presentation of a bequest from the estate of the late Clarkson A. Disbrow, New York '99. He left ,the money to the Internaqonal Fraternity to be used to try to . reestablish his chap.ter within ten years. When that proved immpossible, the funds went to the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation where they will continue the purposes of Delta Upsilon and advance higher education. A small folder entitled "Bequests Have Built 11 is available from HeadquarterS. It contains information on how you may name the Fraternity as a beneficiary in your will.

Th~ President' s Q~nturx ClUb is a special and growing group of loyal Delta Upsilon alumni who have given $100 or more to the Fraternity's alumni support appeal. In the brief time since the announcement of the program, over a dozen a~umni have become members. We're hoping that others will be motivated to increase their already generous support of the Fraternity, or will unlimber the checkbook and write that alumni support check now!

The goal for !pis year's alumni £upport program is an ambitious one, but the needs are very real and very great. Your alumni support dollars go to improve and expand the usefulness of the fraternity for undergraduates and alumni alike. We're going to publish a chapter standing for the top ten chapters in giving and percentage of giving at the end of this year's appeal. Imagine our delight in opening the latest alumni support mailing to hearfrom Brother Eugene Bogert, Rutgers '95, who tells us that he is 98 years and eight months young, and still adtively interested in 'supporting Delta Upsilon. Thanks for your inspiring support, Brother Bogert, and to all of you who are helping to move Delta Upsilon ahead wi th your help. Alumni support dollars are used to improve and expand the. Leadership Conference for chapter officers held in August, to update the Province Governor program, to help start new alumni clubs, new chapters, and to provide help ano. assistance to every existing group as well. That's why your check now.will help put the 1972-' 73 school year appeal over the top.

ALUMNI OCCUPATIONAL CODING for nearly 60,000 alumni is being added to the computer files at the present time. A standard code classifies the Fraternity's graduate membership into occupational groupings. While it will be some months before the project is complete enough to be of general use, it has already been helpful in locating alumni specialties and interests in several regions. BEQUESTS FOLDER is a new publication which gives information for alumni wishing to consider bequests to the International Fraternity, and tells of their importance. The Fraternity'S Legal Counsel is also available for consultation on such matters. THE GRADUATE REPORT is the confidential alumni publication which is sent to alumni supporting members. The Report contains information about fast -developing trends, alumni activities, and chapter programs soon after they are reported at Headquarters. The Graduate Report is published seasonally, usually six times during the annual appeal year. FUTURE COMMITTEE is a task force group of alumni and undergraduates who have been critically evaluating all phases of fraternity programs and life during the past two years. Their recommendations are already making a tremendous change in the direction and emphasis of many fraternity activities, and their comprehensive recommendations and report should have far-reaching effect on Delta Upsilon. Periodic progress reports have been made to the Convention and Assembly on their activities and additional details appear in this issue of the magazine.
