ABRIL 1987

Insider's News Late news to inform and help collegiate and alumni DUs RLS '88 hosts chosen With the Regional Leadership Seminar season over, we can announce the host chapters for the 1988 RLS programs for DU chapters and colonies across North America.

H ostirig the regional meetings will be Bucknell (Provinces 1, 2 and 3), North Carolina (Province 4), Ohio State (Provinces 5, 6 and 7), Colorado (Provinces 8 and 9), Oklahoma (Province 10), San Jose (Province 11) and Oregon State (Province 12).

The Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation and Delta Upsilon Fraternity sponsor the RLS each winter to give undergraduate officers first-hand reports on our Fraternity's progress; training on solving difficult chapter problems; and a chance to meet other undergraduate leaders from nearby chapters.

Thanks to these chapters who served as hosts in 1987: Syracuse, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Arlington, California and Washington State.

UGAB members elected The following men were elected to serve for the next year on the Undergraduate Advisory Board. This board of undergraduate leaders gathers comments and suggestions from chapters in each province, and meets in August at the Undergraduate Leadership Conference and Convention. One of these men will also be elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the International Fraternity for the coming year: Province 1 - Richard J. Lacasse, Massachusetts '88 Province 2 - Christopher J. Calabrese, Syracuse '89 Province 3 - William F. Richardson, Carnegie '88 Province 4 - D. Michael Monty, Florida '87 Province 5 - Peter W. Gatsch, Miami '89 Province 6 - Thomas G. Crawford, Indiana '88 Province 7 - John E. Bloss II, Bradley '88 Province 8 - Todd A. Gutnecht, Northern Iowa '88 Province 9 - Anthony J. Thill, Kansas '88 Province 10 - Andrew L. Matthews, Texas '88 Province 11 - Kevin S. Jameson, San Jose '88 Province 12 - R. Allen LaBerge, Washington '87

Spring installations Two Delta Upsilon colonies in California will be installed this spring, with a possible third installation depending upon another colony'S progress.

The Long Beach Chapter will be installed April 25 at California State University at Long Beach. Colony President Chuck Martucci and Neal Sutton have charge of the ceremony and other arrangements. Alumni interested in attending or learning more about the installation can contact them c/o Office of Student Affairs, California State University, Long Beach, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, CA 90840 or call 213 -598-5649.

At Bakersfield, California, the Bakersfield Chapter will be installed at California State University at Bakersfield on May 29-30. Interested alumni in the area can contact Colony President Jacob Verboon or Installation Chairman Robert Green at P .O. Box 10494, Bakersfield, California 93389 or call 805-861-9501.

The Culver-Stockton Colony at Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri, had set an installation date in late March. At Quarterly press time, a new date had not been established.

New UGAC members named One key committee in Delta Upsilon is the Undergraduate Activities Committee. It has direct oversight for chapter quality, colony progress toward installation, the schedule and programs presented at the annual Regional Leadership Seminars and the Leadership Conference and Convention, special services to individual chapters, the Presidents Forum, and other vital programs for DU undergraduates.

Brother Gary J. Golden, Rutgers '74, has been elected to another term as UGAC Chairman. Joining him as alumni members are Brothers Lewis D . Gregory, Kansas '75, and Richard M. Holland, Syracuse '83. All three men previously served DU as leadership consultants and as chapter advisors.

Undergraduates chosen for service on the UGAC this year are Brothers Joseph L. Amos, Jr., Florida '87 and R. Allen LaBerge, Washington '87. Both were chapter presidents and have solid backgrounds in working with undergraduates and alumni to improve the quality of DU's college experience.

Brother Haugh chips in When Brother Robert C. Haugh, Indiana '48, came to Shelbyville, Ind.,for an Overhead Door Co. plant expansion dedication, D U was there to help honor the CE 0 of the Dallas Corporation. Brother Rich Levin, president of the Indiana Chapter, and Executive Director Tom Hansen presented Brother Haugh with a DU flag, to the applause of 400 employees and guests. He returned the favor with a $500 contribution to be split between the chapter and the International Fraternity, terming it "some sugar for your horse."

College magazine readers needed For those of you who regularly peruse the alumni news sections of your college or university magazine, please consider keeping an eye out for DU news. Whenever you spot a DU who's taken a new job or is otherwise in the news, please make a note of his success and send it to Delta Upsilon Fraternity headquarters. These items often make a great N ewsmakers feature, or can be used to generate a good story or photos for the Quarterly.

John L . Cheatham, 1979-1987 With great sadness, we report that! ohn L. Cheatham, the son of the late Chairman of the Board of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, Brother Dennis Cheatham, Indiana '65, was killed in a skateboard-car accident in February in Pendleton, Ind. Brother Cheatham passed away in 1983 at the age of 39.

A special fund of the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation has been designated in Brother Cheatham's memory, and contributions in his son's memory would be allocated to the same fund.

DU plans for chapter quality Dear Brothers, There is a wonderful new excitement in Delta Upsilon. The slumbering giant has stirred.

The Board of Directors, at its recent retreat in San Jose, has established clear-cut priorities for the ongoing renewal and rejuvenation of our Fraternity. First and foremost, we have rededicated the mission of the fraternity to be simply this: the development of capable, intelligent and caring leaders for our two nations and the world. If we are to produce these leaders, of course, one thing is clear: our chapters must be strong - places where we can truly take the best men our society can offer and help them become great! Consequently, the Board has determined that all of our resources and all of our tal-

The President's Report ents must be concentrated ' on the upbuilding and improvement of our undergraduate chapters and the establishment of new chapters in every reasonable place where we are welcome.

In reviewing our 153 year history, the Board also observed one plain fact: in virtually every case where we find a strong and thriving undergraduate chapter, consistent and enduring, we find supporting that chapter a group of dedicated alumni at the local level advising the members and officers, building alumni support, interfacing with the university and community, and managing chapter property.

Accordingly, the Board has decided that the entire emphasis of the Fraternity should shift somewhat so that greater attention can be paid to the identification, recruitment, development, training and help of and for local alumni supporting our undergraduate chapters. To accomplish this, the Board is considering recommending several changes in the governing structure and management of the Fraternity. Although the de-

tails have not been fully developed, the primary focus appears to be: • To develop an "alumni chapter" to provide this essential support to each undergraduate chapter on every campus.

• To assist that alumni chapter in carrying out three important functions: (1) to serve as officers of the house corporation, which owns and manages chapter property; (2) to serve as advisers to chapter officers and members in the operation of the daily affairs of the chapter; and (3) to promote and develop alumni support for the chapter, the alumni chapter, and the fraternity at large.

• To promote the selection of chapter trustees from the alumni chapter membership so that these alumni chapters will become sources of leadership for the International Fraternity, fully integrating local alumni leadership into the policy and decision making process of the International Fraternity.

• To hold the Annual Assembly at the same time and place as the undergraduate Convention to the end that the alumni leadership may interact with and be attuned to the undergraduate leadership of the Fraternity.

• To once again develop active alumni clubs, in areas where no chapters presently exist, for the encouragement of fraternal associations and general support of the Fraternity.

( Sailing back into history Syracuse's Darling on Stars and Stripes crew; injury cuts racing, but Tom directs training A young Syracuse alumnus and his DU adventures - that's DU for Down Under - provide our Fraternity with both an example of excellence, and a great cover photo for this issue of the Delta Upsilon Quarterly.

The athletic, windburned man at the crank is none other than Thomas W . Darling, Syracuse '82, member of the crew of Stars and Stripes '87, which hasjust returned the America's Cup from its temporary Australian home for the last four years.

Unfortunately, an injury before the end of the Challenger series kept Brother Darling out of the final races. But he got a chance to help the Stars and Stripes in another way.

Brother Darling, a silver medalist in heavyweight eight crew in the 1984 Olympic Games, served with Skipper Dennis Conners through the semi-finals of the Challenger Series. Of course, Stars and Stripes '87 won that series and sailed its way into the Cup finals against Kookaburra III, winning in a 4-0 sweep in February.

During his injury period, Tom served as the physical training coordinator for the II-man Stars and Stripes crew. He was responsible for their exercise program when the races weren't underway. Tom also was a grinder on Stars and Stripes '85, which served as the sparring partner for Stars and Stripes '87 as it trained in the delightful sailing conditions off Freemantle, Australia.

Athletic success is no stranger to Brother Darling, but neither is his America's Cup injury the first time fate denied him a chance to compete.

Tom was crew oarsman for Syracuse University from 1978 through 1982. In the 1981 Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta on Onondaga Lake, his crew 26

was knocked out of competition after swamping in the wake of the Coast Guard boat, according to Bill Sanford, Syracuse Orangeman crew coach. .

He qualified for the 1980 Olympics crew team, but the U.S. boycott of the Moscow games kept him from international glory until his 1984 silver-medal performance.

Darling stands 6-4, and weighs 220, and boasts a combination of size and endurance which made him peI'fect for the America's Cup crew as a grinder, Sanford said in a recent newspaper article.

His background lay more in rowing than sailing, and he had to learn fast to keep up with the more experienced sailors in the Cup competition.

While the job as grinder requires a great deal of strength, especially in the upper body, Darling told a newspaper reporter that the game is far more tactical.

"You can anticipate what's going to happen in the boat. If you can look down the course, and know what Dennis Conner is going to do next, it helps," he said.

The free-time activities in the Cup finals were also enjoyable. Despite tight security amid terrorism concerns, Tom and his mates found plenty of sport in spying on the competition, who like the Stars and Stripes crew shrouded their practices and repair sessions in secrecy.

The Australians were tremendous hosts, with every restaurant in the area wanting the Americans to stop in, and more than a little attention from Australian women anxious to meet the American crew members.

Stars and Stripes '87 thrived on technical advantage, much as the Australians did four years ago to win the Cup from the Americans for the first time in 132 years. Many of the advances in hull design have far-reaching applications. For example, shallow grooves in the hull

to reduce water resistance may also help commercial airlines reduce air drag as much as 8 percent, with potentially tremendous savings in fuel costs.

Lightweight materials and a computer-designed hull and keel also made Stars and Stripes invincible in the America's Cup final.

Brother Darling may take on the role of physical conditioning coordinator for the Stars and Stripes crew when it defends the Cup in 1990.

All DUs can find some inspiration in Brother Tom Darling's exploits. The retum of the Americ(l's Cup was the product of careful planning, im(lginative design and hard work, all stimulated by tough competition and a desire to be the best.

These forces can work powerfully for each of us in our own personal lives.

They can also work for Delta Upsilon as a Fratemity, whether at the chapter level or in terms of services to our alumni and undergraduates.

Our fratemity truly is Charting a New Course. Many elements of the DU experience are being improved this year.

The Quarterly you hold in your hands is one example. The general directory coming out this fall is another. As you'll read in this issue, services to DU chapters are being renovated in dozens of ways, and our youngest DUs are responding to both the challenge and the attention.

There are many opportunities for alumni to help. Here's just a few ways you can assist the Quest for Excellence in Delta Upsilon: -Keep your chapter informed of your activities and your current address and telephone numbers.

-Send news about other DU alumni to your chapter for its newsletter, and to the Intemational Fratemity for use in the N ewsmakers column, or as the subject of a larger feature article.

-Submit an article for the Quar-

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLyoApril, 1987

terly on a subject of general interest.

For example, for the July issue, we're looking for a DU physician who could write about the specific health concerns that men face.

-Recommend a young man coming to college as a prospective member of your chapter, or a nearby chapter. Better still, recommend Delta Upsilon to him. Chances are most high school students really don't know much about what our Fraternity can offer him; you can be a strong force in guiding him about what he could expect to gain from the Delta Upsilon experience.

-Make a financial contribution to your chapter, or the International Fraternity, or the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. There are plenty of projects that benefit from your generosity, from leadership training to career planning seminars to the Quarterly to

educating ow' chapter officers about their responsibilities.

-Let a nearby chapter know that you have some expertise. Offer to visit once a year and discuss your profession 01" some community activity. Or make yourself available for visits, letters or phone calls from young DUs who are searching for a particular career, and need some advice.

-Support fraternity and sorority activities wherever possible. There's generally strong cooperation among the 60 members of the National Interfraternity Conference and the 26 members of the National Panhellenic Conference.

We're all working toward the same end; good words for any Greek organization will help build all of them.

-Encourage DUs in your local area to revive or form an alumni club. Many

clubs meet regularly - monthly, quartedy or annually - for luncheons or dinners, purely for the enjoyment of socializing. In Eugene, Oregon, there's a weekly lunch meeting of D U alumni that's been active since 1937! Others sponsor special events like golf outings or a career day at a local chapter. Some clubs sponsor a scholarship or two for DUs who show exceptional merit on a local campus. Other clubs could serve as the basis for a strong alumni advising team if a D U chapter is organized at a nearby college or university. The possibilities really are endless.

So, there's much happening with Delta Upsilon, and much to be done.

It 's our huge reservoir of alumni strength that creates so much confidence in the future of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, as we move through our I53rd year in the United States and Canada.

Where are all the DUs? Now you know The Quarterly now reaches more than 57,000 alumni and undergraduates of Delta Upsilon - the undergraduates receive it at their home address while they are in college.

We thought you might enjoy seeing where the DUs are, with the listings by states and provinces in the United States and Canada.

These statistics are for those members with good addresses only and do not include those for whom we have no address.

Investing in the future With keen vision for the importance of research, Arnold and Mabel Beckman share their good fortune When the topic of more investment in basic scientific and technical research arises, Brother Arnold o. Beckman, Illinois '22, has more than a little expertise on the subject.

He's also not a man of all talk and no action, having done more in the last year and a half to make sure that these improvements come about than any other individual in North America.

In recognition, both of the need for more research and of his unique ability to provide for it, Brother Beckman and his wife Mabel have made what has been called one of the most significant investments in the quality of scientific research of any private individuals in the 20th century.

The amount of money tI:te Beckmans have donated is impressive enough - more than $120 million in the last 18 months - but in terms of the vision and scope of their su pport of science, the Beckmans' involvement becomes monumental.

"We have some surplus beyond what will be needed to take care of us in the time we have left," Brother Beckman said. "So we wanted to invest it in ways that will be of special benefit to humanity," particularly for research in biotechnology and other areas on the leading edge of science.

Both the University of Illinois and California Institute of Technology received $40 million from the Beckmans. In each case, the institution was required to match $10 million up front for planning, architectural and other initial expenses.

"I have been thinking, for a good many years, that if I could support an institute for applied sciences it would carry out my goals." Earlier, Brother Beckman had given the University of Illinois $5 million to fund young researchers, matched 28

by the University so there was $10 million available. Pleased with the results, he said, the U. of I. was again a place to turn when it came time to set up the Beckman Institute of Advanced Science and Technology.

Brother Beckman's University of Illinois ties begin with his undergraduate studies, concluding in a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in 1922. He also earned his master's degree in physical chemistry at the U. of I. in 1923.

The Cullom, Illinois native then went to CalTech and earned his doctorate in photochemistry in 1928 and joined the CalTech faculty.

In the meantime, he established Beckman Instruments, Inc., in 1935 . The success of its initial product, a pH meter to measure acidity, prompted him to leave the CalTech faculty to devote his full attention to his growing company.

The Beckman Institute will be a state-of-the-art scientific facility that will serve as a research center for biological and physical sciences.

The focus of the Institute will be to aid scientists in gaining better understanding of both human and artificial intelligence.

The Institute will house two primary research areas - the Center for Materials Science, Computers and Computation to study artificial intelligence, and the Center for Biology, Behavior and Cognition which will be devoted to the study of how the human mind operates and thinks.

In addition to the $40 million contributed by Dr. Beckman, the State of Illinois has contributed $10 million in capital development funds to aid in planning, land acquisition, utilities installation and equipment purchases. The State of Illinois will also appropriate $2 million annually to assist in program

development and help finance critical stages of research. Most of the 'research at the Institute will be supported through federal con. tracts, federal grants, and corporate philanthropic contributions.

The Beckman Institute also will house a visitors' center where guest professors would be invited to lecture and share with colleagues their investigative findings. The visiting researchers would be invited to stay at the Institute and utilize its facilities for up to one year. The University of Illinois expects such a residence program to help fuither improve the already high quality of the University's graduate science ' programs.

Construction of the Institute is due to begin in December on the site of the University's first building, which presently serves as a baseball field. The Institute is expected to be complete and ready for occupancy in January 1989.

But the Illinois and CalTech gifts are only the largest indicators in the breadth of Brother Beckman's interest in basic research. Another major gift was $20 million to the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, for a new study center located in Irvine, near the headquarters of Smith Kline Beckman, Inc. The gift was matched with seven acres of land valued at $6 million from the Irvine Corp.

The NAS and NAE projects, reflecting support of basic and applied sciences respectively, will help the two academies advise scientists on a wide range of technical subjects.

Brother and Mrs. Beckman have also contributed $12 million to the Stanford Medical School, mostly to support research in molecular biology.

At the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco

Dr. Arnold O. Beckman, Illinois '22, and Mrs. Mabel M. Beckman there is now a Beckman Center for Basic Research, with emphasis on eye tissue regeneration research, thanks to a donation of $3.5 million from the Beckmans.

The University of California at Irvine Medical Center is conducting laser treatment research with the help of a contribution from Arnold and Mabel Beckman.

These projects join the Beckman Research Center and Institute in clinical research into cancer and other medical concerns at the City of Hope in Durant, California, thanks to a $10 million Beckman gift some years ago. . Seeing further needs for basic research in molecular biology and genetic engineering Brother Beckman attended a symposium in February on hearing research at the University of Southern California.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY路April,

The symposium surveyed some current researchers' thoughts of what basic research is needed into the fundamentals of hearing. "We wanted to see if we can reach some consensus on needs in this area," Brother Beckman said, and he and Mabel may support some research activities in that area.

While the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois is by no means more important than the other projects the Beckmans have supported, it does illustrate their dedication and loyalty to Brother Beckman's alma mater.

One close observer of Brother Beckman's commitment to his desire to improve research is Brother Stanley O. Ikenberry, Illinois '56, Pr~sident of the University of IllinOIS.

"Throughout his career, Brother 1987

Beckman has been interested in science and technology on the one hand, and in interdisciplinary collaboration on the other.

"So when we proposed bringing together the physical and biological sciences to study human intelligence, it was a concept that Dr. Beckman found intriguing," said Brother Ikenberry. "Dr. Beckman is uniquely capable as a scientist of understanding the academic and scientific implications of this interdisciplinary project because of his background as a scientist and as a national leader in the field.

"His principal concern was our ability to translate this magnificent concept into a workable program, and so the major questions he put to us as discussions went on were practical problems: how to operate, implement and bring to life 29

Beckmans Invest In Research (Continued) such a magnificent concept."

Brothers Ikenberry and Beckman first talked about the project in October 1984 when ' Brother Beckman attended an annual meeting of the University of Illinois Foundation. The proposal was formulated by a team of faculty members from the physical and biological sciences, who worked for more than a year on internal planning and drafts, "and challenging each other's ideas," prior to discussing the project with Brother Beckman, said Brother Ikenberry.

"We were very much aware of his interests, and we wouldn't have brought him an idea he would not have found intriguing," said Brother Ikenberry.

"I have a very high level of confidence in \'lim," said the U. of I. president flbout Brother Beckman's involvement in the Beckman Institute planning. "He exemplifies the spirit of modern philanthropy that is so valuable.

"He is a ,very modest man, and a generous man, and yet he's toughminded, and very intellectually demanding in terms of the investment of his' charitable resources.

"He combines the intelligence of purpose aHd the generosity of spirit." ,;" A good number of philanthropists would donate funds to a per:manent foundation, with the investment income paying for specific research projects. But Brother Beckman said he has some concerns about that approach. ' "There are all kinds of foundations. You look at some of them and what they're doing, and you'd think their founders must be turning over in their graves. Others are run quite well. But rather than give to a foundation where funds would be used in perpetuity, I'd rather find places where we can invest in a research institute."

By finding institutions with excellent reputations in ..scientific research, Brother Beckman said, he can be sure that an institution with

30

current knowledge of research needs can most accurately make grants and otherwise support deserving researchers.

"The reason I'm giving to these projects is that I no longer feel I am competent to judge who ar:e the best researchers and which are the greatest fields. I do not give to individual researchers, I give to institutions.

"If a foundation is lucky, it has a good board of directors, but so many get addicted to their own way of thinking, and get closed minds, and are not alert to changes. What I like about supporting a university research center is first, ,the grants are made by a faculty committee,

'Dr. Stanley O. Ikenberry ."

President, U. of Illinois .

with deans of the different departments. I believe that the faculties of gopd institutions stay current and are best equipped ' to decide what researchers deserve support. Second, they see what~re the hot spots for research. And third, it's a self-regenerating group; deans change and bring in new people."

In m a king gifts for research, Brother Beckman said his aim was to supplement society's responsibility .to conduct research for the benefit of all its citizens, but not to do what government should be doing already.

"I would not contribute to a taxsupported school if it relieved of-

ficials of doing their duty. An analysis lab for instruction is the work of the legislature. But, for example, the $5 million I gave the U. of I. for research support was not something that the legislature normally would have done."

Brother Ikenberry said Brother Beckman "made an exception" to this rule in his commitment to the Beckman Institute at Illinois, "in part because he and Mrs . Beckman have very close ties to Illinois, through their affection for the University, but also for the quality of the sciences here."

Some corporations do an adequate job of investing in long-term research and development. About 8 to 10 percent of net income is a reasonable level for a research-oriented company, he said, while a much lower amount is appropriate for an older, more established industry.

"But management is under constant pressure by security analysts for quarterly returns and a good bottom line. With long-term rese;:trch, Y01..). have to expense it over along period of time," which doesn't generate short-term profits, he noted.

Federal funding of basic research has not kept pace with the needs, and neither has private fo'u ndation support. "There's Parkinson's law at work, which holds that research expands to take up the funds available. Some of it is worthwhile, but there are many research needs not being met because of a lack of fUhds."

Business schools have also fallen short in teaching the importance of reSearch and development, Brother Beckman said. ' ~'I f~lUlt them on two grounds.

Fi~st, they look only at numbers in their ;l(:counting methods . They ignore the value of employees; the balance sheet shows not a single dollar for enthusiasm, loyalty, creativity and so forth.

"We can calculate the value of a depreciated building to the penny, but there's nothing for employees' goodwill."

Second, the students and faculty do not have a research background, they are not research oriented, so they can't pass on the 1

The Beckman Institute as it will appear at the Univ'ersity of Illinois importance of research and devel- , oprri(::nt to students on the basis of their personal experience.

The United States could also learn a good less~n froni the cooperation of industry, government , and banks when it comes to investment in research. "They all work together to set long-range goals. They forgo some current earning if they can see a long-term benefit."

As might be expected for a man of Brother Beckman's accomplishments, he has been honored many times over the years.

One honor that has just come to Brother Beckman was his induction in February to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Joining 64 other inventors, he was honored for his invention in 1936 of the pH meter. Honored posthumously at the same time were William Burroughs for the calculating machine; Igor I. Sikorsky for the first operational helicopter and Andrew J. Moyer for the invention of a method to mass produce penicillin.

Brother Beckman was also honored this year by being named winner of the annual Gold Medal from the American Institute of Chemists. In a statement about the award, he was typically modest. "Inasmuch as my personal activities for years have been focused on the development and production of instruments, I consider my selection as awardee to be a recognition of the significant role instruments have played and are playing in the generation of new knowledge of chemistry and chemical technology," he said.

Other major products developed by Beckman Instruments include the potentiometer, used in radar systems in World War II and many later electronics systems; the ultraviolet spectrophotometer, which analyzes chemical components in foods and other substances; and the protein sequencer, which separates and identifies amino acids.

Brother Beckman has been a strong supporter of the Illinois Chapter of Delta Upsilon. He often

1987

has appeared in the DU-Line, the chapter's alumni newsletter, and has attended many alumni functions and donated to various fundraising efforts for chapter needs.

He also remembers what Delta Up~ilon gave him as an undergraduate.

"The Fraternity can teach you what's good and beneficial- social skills, such as manners, table etiquette, the proper clothes to wear.

But beyond that it gives a feeling of camaraderie.

"But for alumni, this easily can be lost, with respect to men who move from the University location.

They can develop other interests as they grow older, and have their own business, unless there is some program the fraternity carries on," he said.

"If they could do one thing, which we had done, it's to have the active members contact the alumni members" to get information on them and to involve them in chapter activities.

"In짜ite men who are out of school and let them come down to the 31

vice: Do something about which you're enthusiastic. Then, if you ever find you've lost the enthusiasm for your job, change it!

"I'm delivering the commencement address at U. of 1. in June.

To me, every person has a commencement day every day of his life. You can start a new life today, and you should, if you're not happy with your current life.

"There is some risk in everything worthwhile. There's little going for anything, if there's ' no risk associated with it."

Dr. Beckman founded the company in 1935 with the development of a pH meter to measure the acidity of lemon juice in a Southern California citrus processing plant.

An early example of modern electrochemical instrumentation, the Beckman "acidmeter," 'ilS it was first known, simplified and markedly increased the speed and precision of acidity and alkalinity measurements in virtually any aqueous solution. It quickly became an indispensable tool for analytical chemists in medicine, science, industry, agriculture and many other fields.

chapter house for dinner and some talk. It has a good effect on the undergrad uates."

However, Brother Beckman too had not had as much contact with his chapter until Brothers Seely Johnston '24 and Hank Long '39 informed him a few years ago of some plans to renovate the chapter house. This has rekindled his interest in DU, and has led to a closer involvement with the Illinois Chapter.

Brother Beckman has been a member of the President's Club at the International Fraternity level, giving $100 or more to ' our Fraternity every year since 1978.

As a former professor on the CalTech faculty, Brother Beckman is often asked what advice he would give to undergraduates.

"Students would often ask what they should major in or pursue as a career. Over the years, I have narrowed it down to one bit of ad-

duced two additional products that marked pioneering advances in measurement technology and, with the pH meter, set the young company's course for future growth.

One of the new products was the quartz photoelectric spectrophotometer, an instrument that automated chemical analyses; the other was the precision helical potentiometer, or Helipot®, an electronic component.

The Beckman DU® Spectrophotometer virtually revolutionized chemical analysis by simplifying tedious laboratory procedures. In one early application, the DU made it possible to determine the Vitamin A content of shark livers in minutes with a precision of 99.9 percent. At the time, conventional biological assays with laboratory rats took a month and were accurate to plus or minus 25 percent.

The DU's effect on chemical analysis has been likened to that of the Douglas DC-3 on commercial aviation. Although the DU was superceded by advanced models in 1964, thousands of the original instruments still are being used in laboratories throughout the world.

The Beckman Helipot was a variable resistance device, similar to a radio volume control but far more precise. Developed originally as a component for the Beckman pH meter, the Helipot became an essential component of RADAR systems in World War II. Thereafter, it found application in a wide variety of electronic equipment from computer and control systems to scientific instruments and home appliances.

Building on its original foundation, Beckman became a major international manufacturer of instruments and related products for medicine, science, industry, environmental technology and many other fields. In 1982, Beckman merged with SmithKline Corpo- ' ration of Philadelphia to form Smith Kline Beckman Corporation, one of the world's leading health care and life sciences companies.

Beckman Instruments, Inc., is a subsidiary of SmithKline Beckman Corporation.

Since leaving the teaching profession, Dr. Beckman has con-

tinued to maintain an active interest in education and research. The first alumnus named to Caltech's Board of Trustees (1953), he served as board chairman from 1964 until 1974, when he was elected chairman emeritus. In 1984, the Institute honored Dr. Beckman with its Distinguished Alumni Award.

He is a member of the Board of Overseers of the University of Calfornia at Irvine, the President's Club of the University of Illinois and the Rockefeller University Council. He is a former member of the advisory boards of California State University at Fullerton and Chapman College in Orange, CA, and a former regional trustee of, Mills College, Oakland, Ca. Dr. Beckman holds honorary LL.D. degrees from the University

of California at Riverside, Loyola University of Los Angeles and Peperdine University of Los Angeles.

He holds honorary doctor of science degrees from the University of Illinois, Chapman College and Whittier (CA) College.

Many organizations have acknowledged Dr. Beckman's technical, business and civic contributions. In 1960, the University of Illinois presented him with its Illini Achievement Award for "leadership in the field of precision instruments." The award cited his career as a "distinguished scientist whose vision has aided in the creation of new instruments for the laboratories of a rapidly changing technological age."

In 1980, Caltech established the Arnold O. Beckman Professorship

of Chemistry as "a continuing public tribute to Dr. Beckman's leadership at the Institute. " Endowed by friends of Dr. Beckman, the Professorship is intended "to help Caltech maintain its outstanding research programs in chemistry and to provide special recognition to a man whose leadership and support have been major factors in Caltech's success at the leading edge of science and technology."

In 1981, the American Association of Engineering Societies presented him with is Hoover Medal "for his leadership in the development of precision measurement and analytical instrumentation .. . and for his deep and abiding concern for human values, reflected in his career-long participation in education, civic and public affairs."

r

When the U.S. Space Shuttle next leaps into space, a Delta U will be in command.

Brother Frederick (Rick) Hauck, Tufts '62, a veteran of two shuttle flights \ will command a five-man crew on the next flight of Discovery scheduled for February 18, 1988.

The next mission has been described as a milestone flight, given the loss of the space shuttle Challenger and its seven-person crew in January 1986. The five-man crew Hauck will command includes four veterans of shuttle flights. Much of the mission will be dedicated to scientific and technical experimentation, besides testing the shuttle's improvements since the Challenger explosion. Launch of a tracking data relay satellite is included in the schedule.

Brother Hauck, a U.S. Navy captain, was pilot on Challenger's sec-

1985 Leadership Conference and Convention.

Brothers Hart and Shaw are currently in technical training for future flights. No assignments have been made beyond Discovery's 1988 flight.

Since his last flight, Brother Hauck was Astronaut Office Project Officers for the integration of a liquid-fueled Centaur upper stage into the shuttle system. That project was terminated in July 1986, and Brother Hauck was named the next month as NASA Deputy Associate Administrator for External Relations.

A Navy pilot since 1968, Brother Hauck was selected for test pilot training in 1971, and was named as NASA astronaut candidate in 1978. He holds a B.S. in physics from Tufts University graduating in 1962, and a M.S. in nuclear engineering from MIT in 1966. He and his wife Dolly have two chiluren.

Welch said Rivers was flying the sleek twin-engine, two-seat jet as it was making an approach to the Los Alamitos Army Air Field near Los Angeles about 1 p.m.

"The aircraft was crossing the Pacific Coast at about 2,000 feet when it apparently caught fire due to an event of as yet unknown origin," Welch said. "The cockpit immediately filled with smoke."

Rivers reported hearing a loud "boom" just before the fire, and Welch said it was possible the jet was struck by lightning. There were thunderstorms in the area much of the day.

"The crew members shut off the electrical system and radioed for an emergency approach," Welch said. "They shut the right engine of the jet down after a fire warning light appeared. A second warning light signaled the possibility of fire . in the left

For another DU astronaut, February brought a close brush with tragedy in a training flight.

Brother Brewster Shaw, Wisconsin '67, was flying with another Navy pilot on February 24 when the jet caught fire over a residential neighborhood.

Instead of abandoning the crippled jet, co-pilot Shaw and the pilot stayed in the smoke-filled cockpit until they could steer the plane to a safe landing at the Los Alamitos Army Air Field near Los Angeles, California.

Shaw, 41, veteran of two shuttle flights and Robert A. Rivers, 35, a NASA pilot based at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, climbed out of the burning T-38 jet after making an emergency landing.

They were checked over at the Long Beach Naval Hospital and released.

"There was a fire aboard, the cockpit filled with smoke," said NASA spokesman Brian Welch.

"They did lose one engine on the way in and they were able to limp in on a second engine."

He said the pilots decided not to

On his second mission, in the shuttle Discovery in November 1984, Hauck and a four-man crew plucked two inoperative satellites out of orbit and returned them to Earth for repairs.

One of three DU astronauts, Brother Hauck was featured on the cover of the Quarterly in January 1985. Hauck and DU's other two astronauts, Brewster Shaw, Wisconsin '67, and Terry Hart, Lehigh '68, received the DU Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award at the

"The crew members elected not to shut down the left engine and bailout. The aircraft was over a residential area. They were able to make the runway with the left engine operating at reduced thrust," he said.

Welch said the plane was badly damaged and that NASA is forming an investigation board to look into the action.

Astronauts routinely use the blue-and-white T-38s to keep their flying skills sharp.

Awards for Improvement to Western Combined with a successful and interested alumni force, Western Ontario clearly took steps which earned it the Most Improved Chapter award in the President's Division for 1985-86.

•

Receiving the Award for Improvement in the President's Division, for a chapter on a campus with fewer than 14 fraternities, from Secretary John Hammond, DePauw '50, are Brothers Jean-Luc G. Arroyas '87, Michael D. Boonstra '88, and Mike E. Ciebien '87, of the Western Ontario Chapter.

In our third report on award-winning chapters, we focus this issue on the chapters who earned Awards for Improvement for the 1985-86 academic year in three divisions: President's, for chapters on campuses with fewer than 14 fraternities; Directors', for 14 to 25 fraternity campuses, and Trustees', Jar campuses with more than-25 fraternity chapters.

Not one of these chapters made these improvements without a sense of direction, a clear vision of what they wanted to accomplish, sheer hard work, alumni involvement, and two or three key men who guided the progress through the tough times.

•

On a campus like Western Ontario, where fraternities are emerging from a long period of decline, it takes diversity and quality men to excel. The Western Ontario Chapter had that and more.

A long tradition of large numbers of members continued to improve with the pledging and initiation of 28 men, attracted by DU's practice of adding men from various back36

grounds, academic m~ors and campus activities. This stands in sharp contrast to some other chapters which pledge men from a narrow set of qualifications.

The chapter made some strides in administration. One change added a chairman who helps maintain a business-like attitude at chapter meetings. A vice president in charge of member recruitment oversees rush, then keeps members involved with the new pledges after pledging, since most of the chapter's members do not live in the chapter house.

Western Ontario also has its chapter house in a largely residential area, where only existing fraternity houses are permitted. Thus neighbor relations are essential. A house facelift, personal visits to neighbors and a patrol after chapter social events helps keep up a good public image.

A new library space was added to aid members' academic performance, and progress in courses is carefully monitored during pledgeship to ensure good grades.

At North Carolina State, a chapter celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, a general improvement in all areas of chapter operation generated the Directors' Award for Improvement.

In its best rush effort ever, the chapter pledged 22 men in the fall, and initiated 19. Then it pledged 10 more men spring semester. Fall semester grade rankings for NC State fraternities showed the DUs in second place, and the chapter also ranked second in intramurals.

(Editor's Note: Continued success requires vigilance; the chapter's grades slipped dramatically last fall, generating a renewed analysis of the chapter's scholarship program.)

A well conducted financial program, keeping chapter funds well managed and promptly collected, rounded out the award-winning improvement at the North Carolina State Chapter.

The improvement in the Washington Chapter culminated two years of hard work and a change of attitude in the chapter's membership.

What came first was the realization that the chapter could accomplish anything it wanted to, as long as the membership all worked together, said Brother Bruce Raskin, Washington '86, the president of the Washington Chapter during the 1985-'86 year and now a Leadership Consultant for Delta Upsilon.

One big aspect of the change was creating more member participation so that all pledges and members realized that they had an obligation to help the chapter's activities succeed . , Revised constitutional and bylaw provisions set up a point system for members who earned points good for room ,selection and other benefits.

Although the fraternity system at the University of Washington keeps no accurate rankings of chapter scholarship, that didn't keep the Washington Chapter from generating its own chapter GPA. Compared to the all-men's average of 2.65, the Washington Chapter fares very well with a 3.1 average gradepoint for members and pledges.

A thorough revision of the pledge program led to immediate rush and member retention benefits. By showing pledges exactly the kind of environment they would join, and the standards they would meet as pledges for academics, participation and personal conduct, the chapter April, 1987

pledged 38 men in the fall of 1985, and initiated 34 of them in spring 1986. While in the past the battle had been to find enough men to live in the chapter house, now the chapter must decide who can live in among all those who want to, Raskin said.

The chapter had always enjoyed alumni involvement, but not strong alumni financial support. When during the year the chapter realized that major chapter house improvements were needed, undergraduate officers met with the alumni board, presented their list of needs and cost estimates, and asked alumni to help organize a fund drive. Impressed with the improvements in chapter quality, the alumni took over the fundraising program toward a $150,000 renovation of the chapter property, which is more than half completed.

Alumni contributions also rose after the chapter voted to no longer purchase alcohol with chapter funds, Raskin said.

Sierra Club Our Minnesota lawyer now leads this major conservation group into a new set of challenges

Almost three decades ago, Brother Lawrence Downing helped develop the chemical cleaning formula known to millions of consumers as "Spic 'n' Span." But the chemistry major from the Iowa State Chapter has since done much more to keep things clean around North America.

The 1958 Iowa State graduate, who earned his law degree from the University of Minnesota, h?s for the past 18 years been very active in the affairs ofthe Sierra Club. In May 1986, his involvement reached a milestone, as the Club elected him as its national president.

Downing, 50, is responsible as Sierra Club president to an organization of 378,000 persons in the United States and Canada. But in managing such an extensive body of volunteers, Downing says he can draw on "people skills': he first ~earl1ed as an undergraduate DU at ISU.

"In Delta Upsilon, I learned many lessons about getting along with others and leadership . ...

Frankly, the college curriculum doesn't teach people skills very well, but the fraternity did."

Joining the Sierra Club In 1969, Downing first joined the Sierra Club by starting a separate group in southeast Minnesota, after being unable to 'find a Sierra Club member to sponsor his own membership. He soon joined the state Sierra Club, which had no shortage of environmental issues in the 1970s.

In moving up to the national presidency,. Downing first volunteered for committees which handled the Sierra Club'sp~blicatioris, catalogue sales and other operations. He was then elected to the

environmental organization." He noted that there are many Sierra Club members in Canada, with a Western Group and an Eastern Group now formed.

"I believe that we have set a standard for citizen action and citizen effectiveness on behalf of the environment. The Sierra Club had early victories in saving Yosemite and in stopping the damming of the Grand Canyon.

"We presently have assisted in the

38

board of directors in 1983, and reelected once, before being chosen president last year.

Downing brings a strong sense of history to his presidency. "In 1892, writer and naturalist John Muir and a group of associates in the San Francisco area joined together to form the Sierra Club to protect the magnificent wilderness of the Sierra Nevada," he said.

"John Muir would certainly not have been able to predict or even imagine that, nearing our centennial, the Sierra Club would be the nation's largest and most effective

creation of the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Acts as well as the formation of a Superfund to clean up toxic waste dumps.

"The overwhelming Congressional override of President Reagan's recent veto ofthe Cleari Water Act is an example of the support that protecting the environment has among our country's population and among our Congressional representatives," Downing said.

Sierra Club priorities Traditionally, Sierra Club issues center on wilderness preservation,

park land and national forest protection, safe toxics disposal, clean air and water, and similar issues, Downing said.

In the year ahead, Downing listed three major projects which will pose the toughest challenges for the Club's membership this year:.

- Reauthorization of the Clean Air Act, including "meaningful acid rain legislation," in Congress.

- Fighting proposed oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National

DELTA UPSILONQUARTERLY路April,1987

Lawrence Downing, Iowa State '58, National President of the Sierra Club Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.

- Passage of U.S. Sen. Alan Cranston's bill providing for desert wilderness protection in southern California.

But some of the most important battles are those which arise unexpectedly, and which the Sierra Club must fight from a defensive position, Downing said.

The benefits of volunteer work

Although his Sierra Club duties often t;ike him away from his wife and children on weekends, Downing said he clearly does benefit.

"Participation in this organization and intense devotion to preservation of路 our environment and enhancing our quality of life has become almost a religion to me," he said. "It seems to me that I can be more effective in protecting God's earth and His creatures than by more formal participation in an organized religious context."

While members debate whether the Sierra Club should become deeply involved in international isDELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY o April,

sues such as the nuclear weapons debate, its traditional issues clearly recognize no human-drawn lines.

"It is clear that just as environmental issues do not know state boundaries, they do not know national boundaries either. The recent nuclear accident in Russia and the ilcid rain problems in Canada illustrate the extent to which pollution problems can pass acroSs political boundaries," Downing said.

How DU made it possible

Downing's success as a lawyer and in the Sierra Club is in no small part due to his experience in Delta Upsilon during three years of study at Iowa State, he said.

"I lived in the house there on the campus for the entire time. I was Pledge President, Interfraternity Council Vice-President, Vice-President of the Chapter, and the Chapter's representative to the International Convention in Middlebury, Vermont, the summer before my senior year.

"In Delta Upsilon, I learned 1987

many lessons about getting along with others and leadership of volunteer organizations. Though I was at Iowa State to obtain a technical education, i.e., major in chemistry and minors in math and physics, I really believe that some of the best lessons I learned dealt with 'people skills.'

"Frankly, the college curriculum doesn't teach people skills very well, but the fraternity did. The higher one gets in management of forprofit or not-for-profit organizations, the more the job requires people skills and the less it requires technical expertise.

"That is the essence of management, in my opinion."

So from two years working for Procter and Gamble in Cincinnati, and traveling the country to promote Spic 'n' Span, to his first term as Sierra Club president, Larry Downing has put his DU education to work for the benefit of the North American environment, and for those who would enjoy it long into the future.

Kilmer centennial celebrated One of the more famous DUs in literary circles was Brother Joyce Kilmer, Rutgers and Columbia '08. Noted often for composing the poem Trees, he was associate editor of Targum while at Rutgers, and died in World War I in the second Battle of the Marne.

The centennial of his birth was recognized in December by the U. S. Postal Service. Brother Benjamin Ebling II, Western Michigan '55 was kind enough to send a first day cover commemorating the centennial of his birth in 1886 and death in World War I. The cover was postmarked New Brunswick, New Jersey where Brother Kilmer was born and has the Veterans World War I stamp.

There's still time this spring to support DU Since July 1, a record number of your brothers have taken their stand in strong support for a better DU. With only three months left in your DU alumni support campaign, you can still make a difference with a contribution to DU. Many men have given for the.first time this year; many more have written to say their Fraternity is making them proud again, and they are glad to return to the ranks of apnual donors.

Be sure your chapter is well represented when the October Quarterly lists all those men who contribute between July 1, 1986 and June 30, 1987. We'll be counting total number of contributors, highest percentage of alumni per chapter who donate, and the average contribution per chapter. You can do your part to see your chapter rank in the Top Twenty of one or more lists.

Of course, all donors' names will also appear, by chapter and by level of giving, as well as highlighting consecutive years of giving.

For those men who have given already, thank you, on behalf of Delta U. Your donations are already hard at work. Please encourage your DU friends who haven't given before to make this the first of many loyal years of support.

For those who haven't sent a donation yet, the Silver Delta level of $25 is a good place to start. It's an affordable and effective way to ensure DU's successful Quest for Excellence in our landmark 1987 rejuvenation.

DU expands into Santa Barbara, Guelph; here's how you can help DU grow more Delta Upsilon is growmg, and doing it well.

Evidence of the new attitude and flexibility toward expansion shows clearly in two projects at nearly opposite ends of the continent: Santa Barbara, California, and Guelph, Ontario.

Santa Barbara Colony At the University of California, Santa Barbara, DU did a classic expansion effort. We submitted a' written application and detailed information about our Fraternity and how we would go about setting up a new colony to join the 13 chapters already on campus.

After making the final two in UCSB's well-organized selection process, DUs in the area joined Brother Gary J. Golden, Chairman of the Undergraduate Activities Committee, and Thomas D. Hansen, Executive Director, in a final presentation to the expansion committee.

The result was the go-ahead in late fall to start a new colony in January. Brother Bruce Raskin, Washington '86, spent three weeks working with local alumni and interested students to start the new colony on January 24 with 47 new affiliates, and Brother Edward J. Jordan, Arlington '88.

Alumni who worked most closely with the expansion effort were Donald Smith, Oregon State '35, Donald Simonds, Tufts '37, Dennis Powers, Colorado '64, and Gary Brown, DePauw '64. , The colony was formed with a strong emphasis on high academic performance, campus activities and community involvement, absolutely no hazing, a diverse membership, and a social program to develop true social skills, rather than a focus on strictly alcohol-centered events. Needless to say, the formula was very attractive to the four dozen 'men who formed the founding members of the Santa 44

The DU Growth Story Barbara Colony of Delta Upsilon Fraternity.

UCSB, with about 18,000 undergraduate students, lies on the beautiful California coast about 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles.

Recent emphasis on tough entrance requirements for UCSB has given it the third highest average standardized test score for entering freshmen among California public universities, behind UCLA and U.C. Berkeley. The colony joins the Long Beach and Bakersfield colonies in the L.A. area.

All alumni in the vicinity are urged to contact new colony president Doug Makishima by writing to him at P.O. Box 13860, UCSB, Santa Barbara, CA 93107.

Guelph Interest Group Another side of the expansion coin appears at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario, about an hour west and a little north of downtown Toronto.

On a campus where fraternities and sororities are just gaining a foothold, about two dozen men organized to explore affiliating with a national fraternity.

They found good advice from members of the Western Ontario Chapter; about an hour away in London. With a cou pIe of copies of Our Record in hand, the men set about learning what they could about the principles of our Fraternity.

Of course, the non-secret nature of Delta U proved one of its strongest selling points. The men quickly found they were in close agreement with the founding principles. . Of particular interest, according to Eric Bretsen, vice president of the interest group, was the fact that DU is non-sectarian, and has no racial, ethnic or other non-merit restrictions on membership.

The interest group sent two delegates to the Regional Leadership Seminar at the Indiana Chapter on February 6-8, and another two representatives to the RLS at the Syracuse Chapter two weeks later.

How chapters aid DU expansion Underg~aduates often wonder whether there should be a DU chapter at a nearby campus, and how they might be involved in that exciting and rewarding work.

On many campuses, some legwork by undergraduates is the best way to learn if a new DU group can succeed.

Also, when chapter officers or members know sharp freshmen or sophomore men on a nearby campus, they can plant the seeds of interest in DU. This can lead to a group like that at the University of Guelph that becomes a DU chapter.

DELTA U PSILON QUARTERLY路 April, 1987

Alumni in the Guelph area were contacted in mid-February, and at the copy deadline for the April issue of the Quarterly, a meeting was planned for interested alumni in March, as was a formal induction of the Guelph interest group as the Guelph Colony of Relta Upsilon.

The University of Guelph, long renowned in Canada for the strength of its agricultural and engineering programs, has recently e~tablished an excellent reputation for its business programs. About 10,000 students study at the undergraduate level at the University.

How can alumni help DU grow?

DU is always looking to grow, particulary at public or private colleges or universities with strong academics and alumni support, and with a healthy appreciation for the benefits of a quality Greek system to stud~nt development.

In the July Quarterly, we'll list dormant chapters, as well as some top prospects for new chapters in each region of the continent.

However, the key to a successful colonization, just as with maintaining chapter quality, is alumni involvement. Colonies and young chapters especially need the advice and guidance of a well-organized alumni board since they don't have their own alumni to pass along winning traditions.

If you know of a major university of college where a DU chapter could be formed, the first step is to gather data on the existing Greek system. Vital information includes the number of fraternities and sororities, and their average membership; the type and quality of housing; the fraternity average gradepoint, in comparison to the all-men's average GPA: general , conditions within the system, such as any spectacular successes or major problems; and current student admission trends (e.g. more or fewer admissions, higher or lower percentage of those admitted actually enrolling, etc.).

Several alumni have done this basic research for possible expansion sites recently, and we can always use more information on

campuses where we have formerly had a chapter.

Once a college or university looks ripe for a good DU colony, representatives of the International Fraternity work on two fronts . First, relations with Greek advisors and deans of student services are opened or strengthened. Second, we survey the number of DU alumni within an hour's drive of the campus, and begin looking for a dozen or so men to form a colony advising team. Sometimes this can be done well in advance; other times, the colonization happens first, then DU alumni are brought in to work with the new group.

Preferably, interested and committed alumni, eager to be on the ground floor of starting or reviving a chapter, are organized and ready to go.

However, DU's work with the Oregon Colony, started last fall, the recent Santa Barbara colonization, and the strong interest group at Guelph give DU's expansion efforts some great hands-on experience that will pay big dividends in the years ahead . .

Barbara Harness celebrates 10 years with Delta U Earlier this spring, Barbara Harness, administrative assistant, was honored on her 10th anniversary of employment with Delta Upsilon.

As administrative assistant, Barbara does much of the planning and organizing of special DU educational events such as the annual Leadership Conference and Convention, the seven Regional Leadership Seminars held at chapters across North America, the President's Forum for chapter presidents in January, the Alumni Institute each April, and meetings of the Fraternity's Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees of the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation.

We are fortunate to have longevity among the DU office staff. Office Manager Jo Ellen Walden is in her 17th year with DU, and Addressing and Records Coordinator Judy Hanks is in her 16th year. Julie Glass has been Correspondence Secretary for seven years, and Beverly Stewart has completed three years as Bookkeeper.

Barbara was honored with a luncheon and a special gift to commemorate her 10th anniversary. Delta Upsilon is fortunate to have such loyal and dedicated employees, making the most of what DU offers its members.

DU's chapter leaders aim for Indiana University campus The largest gathering of undergraduate DUs in more than 15 years is now set for a new date this August at Indiana University.

Four men from each DU chapter have been invited to register for the 153rd annual Leadership Conference and Convention on August 14-17, 1987, on the IU campus in Bloomington, Indiana.

The Convention - still one of the f~w annual undergraduate legislative meetings in the fraternity world ,-- ' will begin early Friday afternoon on the 14th, and conclude about noon on Monday the 17th. ~.' ' : "Providing an additional day for the Leadership Conference and Convention lets us invite more undergraduate and present a more diversified program," said Gary J. Golden, Rutgers '74, Chairman of the Undergraduate Activities Committee and Chairman of the Leadership Conference and Convention.

"Besides bringing four men from each chapter, the Leadership Conference and Convention will be expanded to three full days, giving more time for undergraduates to meet and learn from each other," Golden said .

Also, plans are well underway for alumni interested in DU's future to attend the Leadership Conference.

U ndergrad uate delegates will stay in the air-conditioned Foster Quad residence hall, and most of the educational sessions will occur in the School of Business. More formal meetings, such as the Convention session, the Foundation Honors Dinner, and the annual Chapter Excellence Awards presentation, will take place in the IU Memorial Union, an impressive center for conferences and student programs.

Indiana University, about an hour's drive from the Indianapolis airport, features excellent instructional and research facilities.

The campus is beautifully laid out, with plenty of parking and many open areas. Excellent running and bicycling routes criss-cross the wide-open campus. Many other 46

This fountain is one of the sights DU chapter officers will see at the 153rd Leadership Conference and Convention at Indiana University on August 14-17. recreational facilities will be open to Convention delegates.

The IU Greek system is also renowned for its progressive and responsible approach to student needs, and for the beauty of the homes of 27 fraternities and 20 sororities. The Indiana DU chapter house is located at the east end of Third Street Greek Row,just a 10minute walk from the Union. While this segment of the Greek system is impressive in itself, even more remarkable is the new Greek development along Jordan Avenue to the northeast of campus. The University, many years ago, dedicated a large tract of land to future Greek housing needs and made housing loans to fraternities and sororities at very low interest rates. This has resulted in a spacious, well-planned Greek development.

Delegates can drive directly to Bloomington or fly to the lndianapolis airport where IU bus service will be available. Some direct flights into the Bloomington airport are available from Midwest airports.

Chapters have received registration packages for the Leadership Conference and Convention. In DU's quest for excellence, we'd like to top the 71 chapters and 8 colonies who attended the 1986 meeting, and have every chapter represented.

The Leadership Conference and Convention is a joint function of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, through undergraduate fees and alumni contributions, and of the Delta U psilon Educational Foundation, through its investment income and alumni support.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLyoApril, 1987

More detailed reports due from chapters in July issue Starting in July, the chapter news section will return to a more narrative format. Also, each report will be co-authored by an undergraduate and an alumnus who works directly with the chapter.

Chapter news in the Quarterly is one of the best and least expensive ways for chapters and alumni advising them to let all DU alumni know exactly where the chapter stands on campus.

The July issue of the Quarterly will mark a return to an older style of reports from each,chapter on its acti vi ties.

In recent years, undergraduate chapter representatives wrote a few words on some general subjects, listed men pledged and initiated, and sent it in. However, these re': ports were often too general, and failed to let chapter alumni know exactly how they might help improve their home chapter, or one nearby.

New listing of initiates The Quarterly will also list the names of men initiated in a different format. As you'll see in this issue, the names of men initiated into our Fraternity are now published in a group. Men initiated will have their names in the Quarterly only when the chapter properly reports them as initiated and pays the required initiation fee. The names of men pledged to the various chapters will be published in the DU Dialogue, the new twice-monthly chapter newsletter that chapters

Research for DU general directory needs your completed questionnaire The drive for an accurate and com plete general directory of members of Delta Upsilon has moved into the "questionnaire" stage, and will soon switch to telephone confirmations.

As you'll recall, this is the first general directory of all living DU alumni published since the 1920s.

It's being published by the Harris Publishing Company, at virtually no cost to the general Fraternity.

The directory will be delivered in November or December. Each chapter of Delta Upsilon will receive a copy free of charge. As an extra benefit, our Fraternity receives a completely updated alumni list, with personal and career information vital to the success of Delta Upsilon in the months ahead.

This is an essential tool in DU's quest for excellence, so accuracy of alumni information is a must.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY路 April,

All DU alumni with verified mailing addresses should have received a questionnaire by mail. If you haven't received it, please write International Headquarters and let us know immediately.

Beginning June 29, representatives of Harris Publishing will conduct telephone follow-u ps to alumni, to verify information to be printed in the directly. At the same time, the telephone representative will be inviting each alumnus to order personal copies of the DU directory.

Since the cost of the directory is self-liquidating through directory sales, Delta Upsilon Fraternity completely approves of the telephone calls, to verify the accuracy of your information, and to offer you an opportunity to purchase a copy of this directory.

and many alumni advisors receive.

However, only the number of men properly reported as pledged will appear in the chapter's news report in the Quarterly.

The added space for each chapter will result in a more complete report. The reports, signed by the two men responsible for each chapter's report, must be postmarked

by May 15 to appear ill the July issue.

Letter to a chapter

Here's some 'nuts and bolts' for chapter success We've stressed quality, improvement and excellence in DU this year. But one item that certainly can never be stressed enough is the nuts and bolts of what it takes to operate a successful chapter.

What follows is a letter to Brother Andy Travers, president of the Central Missouri Chapter. This is a chapter which had slipped in membership until it had only half a dozen members on the campus at Warrensburg, Missouri. Then a good number of men pledged last fall, and they've all been working hard to turn the chapter around.

This letter followed a visit by Executive Director Tom Hansen to the chapter in January. We share it here for two purposes: First, undergraduates need to know the basics of chapter operations. Second, and equally as important, alumni who care about the quality of their chapter, or one nearby, need to know what chapters should be doing so they can ask the right questions and offer the right help when they work with chapter officers.

See if these items don't ring a few bells from your college days. By the way, the Central Missouri Chapter ' uses university-owned housing, so there's no references to the mortgage or major house repairs; you can mentally add the right advice about those topics to this list.

Mr. J. Andrew Travers, President Delta Upsilon Fraternity 1st Floor, Todd Hall Central Missouri State Warrensburg, MO 64093 Dear Andy, It was great to meet you last week.

As I mentioned, here's a list of five ideas in each area of chapter operations which should be helpful in working with your chapter: Administration

A. Officers should write a draft definition of their job, and their goals for the semester; adopt these after the chapter has input.

48

B. Keep written, detailed minutes of both chapter and executive meetings. Post them for members.

Send a copy to your key alumni, and to Headquarters, at least every other week.

C. Invest in officer notebooks, with a page for each month, so each officer can record what he's done on various projects. (Good and bad; you need a record of mistakes to learn from them.)

D. Use After-Action Analysis: after each event, answer (1) what went right and why; (2) what went wrong and why; (3) what you would do differently next time. Keep these in the officer notebooks.

E. Keep chapter files, including all correspondence and chapter supplies (stationery, envelopes, stamps) forms to Headquarters for pledge and initiation reports, copies of the Quarterly and your report, alumni lists and phone numbers, etc.

Chapter Relations

A. Prepare a letter to all of your alumni, and to alumni on the geographical list we sent, informing them of your progress.

B. Survey sororities and other women's groups for their likes and dislikes about fraternity events; hold some classy events in response.

C. Keep in close contact with your fraternity advisors; visit them at least once a week, even if it's only to say hello and to chat informally.

D. Invite favorite faculty to a reception and ask them about graduate work and how students are doing on your campus.

E. Keep up the friendly spirit in intramurals!

Finances

A. (1) Prepare a written budget for this semester; rough out one for all of next year. Include monthly estimates in each category of income and expense. (2) Each month produce monthly budget reports comparing your actual income and expense to your budg-

eted items. (3) Figure monthly dues for each man, pledge or member.

B. Get and stay current in your pledge, initiation and member fee accounts with the International Fraternity.

C. Be sure your treasurer is bonded; ask your Greek advisor for help. Also, require two signatures on all chapter checks.

D. Also ask your Greek advisor about IRS Form 990, which the chapter and/or alumni corporation (if you have one) should prepare by the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of your fiscal year.

E. Form a committee to study chapter property needs (furniture, computer and word processing equipment, etc.). Make a priority list, and let alumni and parents know your plans.

Member Education

A. Create a written pledge manual, using the Washington Chapter manual as a guide. Be sure to list clear expectations for pledges (and members!) regarding proper behavior, conduct, academics, etc.

B. Survey your members' needs.

Set up weekly guest speakers to . meet these needs; invite rushees, women, and anyone else you like to attend. Take photos (black and white) for the alumni/parent newsletter, the Quarterly, rush brochures, etc. Follow up with written thank yous.

C. Visit and telephone area alumni, and all parents, to create a chapter resource file. List occupations, college degrees held, community and volunteer service, hobbies, travel, etc.

D. Create a member activities board (one chapter labels it simply: "A DU in Everything, Every DU in Something,"). List every member's and pledge's name in order from senior to freshman. Beside each name leave a space to record the student organizations they belong to; if none, leave a blank space. I've seen it done with small cards on hooks, so you can change them easily. Good PR and rush tools, also.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLyeApril, 1987

E. Sponsor educational programs: alcohol responsibility, CPR, resume writing, time management, personal financial management, establishing your credit rating, etc.

Invite all other Greeks and rushees to these events. You'll learn and they'll be impressed.

A review of some of the basic keys to success for DU chapters can help not only an improving chapter like Central Missouri, but also to remind alumni and chapter officers what it takes to succeed.

Scholarship

A. Screen rushees carefully for grades. Ask them their high school and college grade point, or "what are you looking forward to most in college?" Listen carefully to their answer.s and follow up to see how serious they are about studying.

B. Establish a minimum GPA for initiation and stick to it. For starters, set it at the top current pledge class average on campus, or 0.1 points below. Make it a chapter policy to suspend for one semester those members who fall below the minimum GPA; expel them if it's two straight semesters.

C. Post lists: "I need help" and "I can help" to match up members and pledges on tutoring.

D. Find and list good places to study on campus; set up group study tables there for your members (e.g. classrooms, secluded library corner). Don't allow talking there. Set up these study areas several times during the day to adjust for varied schedules. Avoid scheduling time-consuming chapter social events on Sunday through Thursday nights.

E. Name a Scholar of the Week.

Post his name and accomplishment on the chapter bulletin board. Give awards for men on Dean's List, or with big improvement over the cumulative GPA; have a plaque in the chapter room or hallway.

You may wonder about Rush, I didn't list it here because if you are doing all these things and can show rushees how they will help them become better men, you'll do fine in rush. However, here's some tips: l. Don't rely on parties; you must personally visit men on campus (with two or more of your men) and sell what you're trying to accomplish.

2. Stay true to your mission; don't pretend to be something you're not.

But don't be afraid to talk about your hopes and plans.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY o April,

3. Follow up any contact with a good prospect by a personal visit.

4. Always have some literature to give a man so he'll keep thinking DU. Make sure it raises some questions he might not have thought about (alumni contacts, job planning, service and philanthropic work, no hazing, etc.)

5. Keep a constantly updated list of prospects posted somewhere in the chapter house. Refer to it often during meetings.

6. Start working on a list of men coming to school as freshmen next fall. Ask alumni and parents to recommend good men they know from area high schools. Write them about your campus (what to bring to school, etc.) and about the opportunities DU gives them. Visit them at home (and impress their parents). Hold some event this

spring so they can visit the campus on a Friday, talk to a faculty member in a major they're curious about, go to a sporting event, and have a pizza party or 1M game or something with the DUs. Help these good contacts move into their dorm in the fall, if you haven't bid and pledged them already.

Well, that's enough ideas for now.

I don't want to . flood you, just to give you some specifics to work on.

You'll get many more ideas at your Regional Leadership Seminar.

Fraternally,

Thomas D. Hansen Executive Director

The President's Report (Continued from page 25)

The Board believes that these proposals will materially contribute to the upbuilding of our chapters, to the consequential development of the future leaders for our world and to the renewed vigor of our entire Fraternity. We welcome your comments, criticisms, and suggestions of these ideas.

Please address your letters to me and I will see to it that the Board considers them all.

You may be wondering what it is that chapters must do better to completely achieve the potential of Delta Upsilon. Elsewhere in this issue of the Quarterly is a copy of a letter to the Central Missouri Chapter which gives five items for success in each area of chapter op1987

erations. It's important for alumni and undergraduates alike to know what it takes to be a successful chapter; so we've used some space in this Quarterly to share the "nuts and bolts" of DU excellence with all of you.

Many will probably say that we should have done this a long time ago. They are probably right. But that is no excuse for not beginning now. We are very excited about the future of our Fraternity. I hope you are, too.

Fraternally,

A new Quarterly feature: Our newest members One of the proudest moments in the life of any Delta U is his initiation day. This new feature of the Quarterly will recognize that signif~cant event in a more timely fashIOn.

period just before the publication date. This' issue's list is longer than usual; it includes men initiated between July 1, 1986, and March 1, 1987, if not earlier reported.

Past practice in the Quarterly has been to list the names of pledges and initiates with each chapter's report. However, those lists weren't always accurate, and sometimes a man's initiation didn't make the news for a year after the fact.

The list of initiates in the Quarterly will include only those men

So, each Quarterly will now feature men initiated in a three-month

properly reported as initiated, wjth the proper fees paid to the International Fraternity. Thus, if your chapter, or one near you, has initiated men, and the report in 'the Quarterly appears without the names of the new members, then the chapter has been slow to send

in its required initiation report and fees.

Only those men who are initiated as members of our Fraternity will see their names in the pages of the Quarterly. Pledgeship is a promise to try to uphold the standards and principles of Delta Upsilon; membership means the .chapter has determined that these men are indeed worthy of being DUs for the rest of their lives. Names of pledges will appear in the "D.U. Dialogue," the twice-monthly chapter newsletter, when they are properly reported.

from three Delta U business leaders. At Campbell Soup, Brother R. Gordon McGovern, Brown '48, has directed a marketing renovation that moved product decisions closer to the consumer level. In a 30month shift that has raised some industry eyebrows, Brother Michael D. Eisner, Denison '64, has moved Walt : Disney Productions away from its strictly G-rated movie formula and 'toward more adultoriented entertainment - and heftier profits, to boot. At Allegh eny Ludlum Steel, Brother Richard P. Simmons, T echnology '53, conduded a five-year stint as CEO by buying the company himself through a leveraged buyout.

Some views on staying ahead by staying currertt; in your July Quarterly. '

Three charters presented at 152nd annual Convention Three more chapters received their charters at the annual Leadership Conference and Convention last August.

Two represented revivals of chapters which had been inactive, and the third is the most northerly chapter in the United States, and third overall among DU chapters.

•

The San Jose Chapter was founded in 1948 from the original Alpha Phi Omega Society founded in 1931. The chapter had become inactive at San Jose State University in 1969, but revival efforts were started in 1982, and the installation of the revived chapter was celebrated December 1, 1984. Accepting the charter in the top photo at right from President Terry L. Bullock were Kevin S. Jameson '88, Donato B. Navarro, Jr. '88, and Richard M. Schooley '86.

San Jose Chapter -

Chartered December 1, 1984

Another successful revival, and happy reunion for Delta Upsilon, came when the Brown Chapter was reaffiliated. Brown was established in 1868 from an eight-year-old literary society, Gamma Nu. The original charter was withdrawn in 1971, and the new charter was granted February 8, 1986. The middle photo shows Brother Augustus A. White III, Brown '57, displaying the new charter with Brothers Bernard A. Whitman '88 and Paul A. Gray '87.

Chartered February 8, 1986

Adding a new name to the Chapter Roll was a pleasure when it involved an enthusiastic group like the men from Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan. The Michigan Tech colony had its beginnings in early 1980, and after six years of work, the Michigan Tech Chapter was installed May 10, 1986. Accepting the charter from Brothers Bullock and Robert A . Dahlsgaard, J r., Bradley '62, were Mark P. Brinker '87 and Gerald R. Fust '88.

Congratulations to all three chapters!

by Benjamin Bugbee, Michigan '37.

Toastmaster Walter Schwarting, Wisconsin '51, then introduced Wilford A. Butler, CAE, Western Michigan '61, recently retired as Executive Director for Delta Upsilon. After reviewing the past and his great hopes for DU's future, Bill presented framed 50-year certificates and gold 50-year buttons to Joseph Dickelman, Western Reserve '37, and three Wisconsin alumni: Thomas McGlynn '40, Robert Howard '40 and Jim Tiefenthaler '38. This brings to 107

the number of 50-year brothers the Milwaukee D.U. Club has recognized in the past 20 years.

The Club heard after-dinner reports from Dave Meyers, Wisconsin '77, president of the Wisconsin Chapter House Corporation, and from Frank Racaniello, Wisconsin '87, Chapter President. Then came a warmly enthusiastic presentation of the Fraternity's Meritorious Service Award to Edward M .

Hipke, Wisconsin '56, on behalf of the Wisconsin Chapter. Ed serves as treasurer of the Chapter's Buck o Month Club and of the Milwaukee D.U. Club. Ed joined Bill Butler as recipient of a standing ovation in recognition of his help and service.

and all I had to do was ask thelll

Just as Delta Upsilon, as a Fraternity, is doing a better job of asking itself what business it is in, each one of us needs to be ready to ask a few questions too.

And, lest you doubt that there are men out there ready with the answers, let me tell you a brief story.

I'd like you to meet two DUs and tell you how I got to know them just by asking a few questions.

In the picture below, the rather serious looking chap at the piano is W . Allen Perry, Iowa State '27, and the gentleman on the right is Chester W. Martin, Iowa State '24.

This photo; show~ng its age of more than, '6 0 years, WC'!-S taken at the studiosbf.WHO radio in Des Moines, low~, where Allen and Chet held forth with song and wit for an halfhour each week.

Whert this duo could tear themselves away from entertaining, they managed to accomplish a few things in life. Allen became director of the parks department at a little Southwestern town called San Diego, and spent 30 years giving its residents a delightful park system. He then was tapped by the San Diego Trust and Savings Bank to head their public relations department, which he did for another 17 years.

Chet went East from Iowa, and taught botany at the University of Maine in Orono, and also ran a successful commercial nursery.

These two have another thing in common besides DU. Both are survivors of strokes and while both lost some of their skills, neither has lost his appreciation for Delta U. I would never have known about Chet's work if I hadn't asked him and Allen a few years back to tell me something about our chapter's history. Allen was, by far, the more prolific correspondent, since his stroke took away piano playing and painting, but left his fingers able to type to his heart's content. Chet was not quite so fortunate; he hasn't been able to write or speak since his stroke 21 years ago . But his lovely wife, Lucile, tells me he loves to hear about his fellow DUs, and fondly remembers all of them, in54

cluding his old radio partner Al Perry.

So Allen told me much about life at the Iowa State Chapter in the 1920s. His memories are clear and sharp, and his accounts relate both the good and the bad, which of course every chapter has. Through our correspondence we became good friends, and I always look forward to visiting San Diego. And, his lively recollections have led to many questions about DU that I wouldn't have thought of without him.

It is nice also to know that my questions renewed Allen's interest in DU. He's shown that interest in several ways. He's a good contributor to a scholarship fund the Iowa State men set up. He writes them regularly with infor.mation on alumni and they've taken quite a shine to him; one of the chapter house rooms is named after him.

His . financiai generosity has sparked other alumni interest in

helping the chapter.

The satisfying thing about all this is that I know Chet would write and help just as much as Allen, if he were able. And the same goes for just about any DU alumnus you'll meet; they'll help if they are asked.

What this really illustrates is how easy it is for one DU to ask another for some help, and how willing almost every member of our Fraternity is to help in some way. Personally, I gained great friends with 50 years more experience, and they gained a fond remembrance of those most memorable college days.

In between, so~e deserving undergi-aduates got a boost for their education that might not have happened if no one asked.

There are chapters today which . have the names of many DUs living nearby whose officers haven't asked these alumni to visit the chapter or to talk about their Cqreers and other interests. They.haven't asked these alumni to meet once a month for

lunch, to discuss the economy, the job market in town, their work with civic and volunteer groups , or what's been rewarding to them in their personal lives.

Our alumni, too , haven't always asked chapters how they might help with advice about local contractors and plumbers, or about a good vacation spot not far from the chapter, or a local charity organization that needs volunteers, or a job opening in a company in town, or even advice about dating and marriage, something we all wonder about occasionally.

Often these alumni haven't asked the chapter to let them know what other DUs, for whatever chapter,

live in the same area, so they could get together for dinner or golf or other social events. But now that the chapters have these lists, there should be a lot of questions asked: "What was it like to be a DU at your Chapter?"

A DU Perspective

by Thomas D. Hansen "Can I help your rush chairman look over his plans?"

"Do you know anyone who could teach us about credit ratings?"

"Can you tell me who's coming to the alumni reunion?"

"Will you speak at our initiation next month?"

"Can I help you buy that new chapter computer?"

And nine times out of ten, the answer is "Yes," if only we just ask.

Really, that's the secret word for success in DU: saying yes when a brother asks for help or advice.

So pick up the phone and ask a DU alumnus for a little advice. Or, if you're an alumnus, call or visit a chapter and ask how you can help.

You'll love the way it turns out. Just ask me sometime about Chet and Allen.

More awar.d spianned for chapters in '87 Scholarship, improvement gain recognition More chapters will take home more awards from the Leadership Conference and . Convention this August.

Delta Upsilon will retain its three divisions of chapters for awards purposes, based on the number of fraternity chapters at each campus.

From smallest to largest, they are the President's, the Directors' and Trustees' divisions. But besides the awards for Excellence and Improvement in each division, there will be at least one runner-up and one honorable mention in each category in each division.

The same goes for the specialized awards for Best Chapter Relations Program, Best Community Relations Project, Best Chapter Publications, Financial Management, Best Pledge Education Program and Dr. Karl and J eanetta Menninger Award for a Significant Philanthropic Project.

There will be three key factors in assessing all awards this year.

First, the degree to which chapters have tackled the tough problem of over-emphasis on alcohol will be a major factor in determining chapter excellence.

Second, award-winning chapters . simply cannot have illegal drugs being used on chapter property or

at chapter events; chapters which have faced drug problems and eliminated them this year will be considered for awards, but those who have ignored their problems will not be considered.

Third, failure to attend the Regional Leadership Seminar, to report pledges and initiates on time, to file reports for the Quarterly, and to submit minutes of weekly chapter meetings and monthly income and expense reports , will work against a chapter's chances to win awards.

New on the awards platform this year will be chapters who either rank first in grades among fraternities on their campus, or who are above both the all-men's and allfraternity average on campus. We'll list at Convention those chapters from campuses where no fraternity <;hapter GPA rankings are kept, since obviously there would be no objective way to recognize their academic achievements.

There will also be a special award for the best and most improved Provinces, among the 12 regions into which DU chapters and colonies are grouped.

Chapters who pledge and initiate 20, 30 and 40 or more men will receive special Presid ent's Club

commendations for adding large numbers of men to the rolls of Delta U. Finally, Delta Upsilon will again recognize the professional accomplishments of DU alumni who will receive the DU Distinguished Alumnus Award. Each recipient will receive a specially commissioned medallion, and will address the Leadership Conference and Convention, either in person or by video.

By recognizing quality in as many chapters as possible, DU will continue to encourage imagination, creativity , guts, hard work and sheer determination in our efforts to make Delta U the best Fraternity in North America.

DU names two as Leadership Consultants Two new leadership consultants have joined the Delta Upsilon professional staff and will be representing DU on the road through August 21.

Both come from the West Coast, representing one of DU's newest revived chapters.

The new men join senior leadership consultant Bruce D. Raskin, Washington '86, and Thomas D. Hansen, Executive Director, on the DU professional staff.

Brother Andrew M. Dunham, San Jose '86, received his B.A. in . music theory in December. He'll take graduate entrance exams this spring toward beginning work on a master's degree this fall. Drew plans to get his teaching credentials and teach at the high school or college level. Drew is originally from San Jose, but spent his first year of school at Bemidji State University in northern Minnesota.

Brother Bradley M. Fisher has completed four years of study, two at a junior college and two at San Jose State University. Though taking the spring semester off from his studies, Brad will complete his degree in public administration in spring 1988. He hopes to combine his interest in law enforcement and business background into a career. in law enforcement or in sales management and marketing. He is a San Diego native.

Both were founding fathers in the revival ofthe San Jose Chapter culminating with the Chapter's reinstallation on December 1, 1984.

Both men cite that experience as their most challenging as members of the San Jose Chapter.

Drew said working on the chapter's installation was his most rewarding experience in Delta U psilon since he was installation chairman and was directly involved in setting up the events and watching them succeed. He also enjoyed serving on the chapter's executive committee when strengthening membership activities and rush were important after installation.

Brad said he enjoyed most installation and the challenge of 56

Correction The January issue of the Quarterly incorrectly listed Brother Raymond E. Stewart, Bradley '70, as deceased. We are happy to report that he is alive and well, and working in Chicago, Ill.

*

We strive for accuracy in the Quarterly, especially when it comes to Vital Statistics. If one of our members is deceased, we appreciate a letter confirming his date and place of death, and some biographical information, if available. Unfortunately, many members' deaths are reported only by the Post Office, or with a return envelope with the word "Deceased" marked on the front.

You'll note brief biographies with some of the obituaries in this issue.

It's another way we're strIvmg to improve the Quarterly and Delta Upsilon.
