DU Quarterly: Volume 113, No. 3 by Delta Upsilon

President's Report t was no ordinary quarterly meeting last April, when members of your DU Board of Directors and Headquarters staff convened in Boston. Those who assembled for this gathering were focused on crafting the future vitality, growth, and success of our Fraternity. The Board's objective was ambitious. The meeting's participants however, were qualified to tackle the task and represented virtually every constituency critical to DU's existence. Each brought an unique, capable, and committed perspective. Billed as a strategic planning session, the meeting was better likened to one of those grueling, all-day chapter retreats at the beginning of a new year, during which brothers debate and "bluesky" the chapter's future. Candor and consensus punctuated the Board 's deliberations as we began to focus on hallmarks of DU's role as a 21st century fraternity. The key facilitator for the session was Lynn Luckow, North Dakota '71, a giant in the educational publishing arena. Against the backdrop of DU 's Four Founding Principles and its purpose, "to establish and promote undergraduate chapters to enhance the development and education of undergraduate members, " we contemplated the needs of our undergraduate members. No simple task, given DU's diverse make-up. With change occurring at a mind-boggling pace, our observations of the vital needs of today's brothers on campus are summarized in the following components. • The Development of a Brotherhood -- a bonding of men, striving for a common interest in an encouraging and respectful environment. • The Formation ofa Clear Set ofVallies -- a principle-centered life enabling a man to grow spiritually, intellectually, and culturally. • The Maturation ofLeadership Ability -- develop the essential elements of effective and ethical leadership. • The Growth ofLifetime Skills -- the life skills needed to succeed in a world of rapid and chaotic change. Discussion then shifted to identify -

ing those qualities inherent to successful organizations, including organizational structure, leadership, and focus. The conclusions at which we arrived are fundamental to any organization. In the context ofDU, to be responsive and relevant in the 21st century, we must: • Be client-centered - our core focus must be undergraduates and alumni. • Cultivate aggressively innovative leadership through identification of effective and visionary alumni volunteers, chapter members, and professional staff. • Possess a clear mission - communicated among all chapters. • Have an effective development and delivery system for a product-line that is valued by our brothers (clients). • Actively replenish our membership to ensure the survival and expand the reach of our Fraternity. These characteristics are vital if Delta Upsilon is to exist as a relevant and necessary element in the lives of our current and future members. Our brothers are our clients, and as such expect service in return for their investment. Like so many other segments of society, Delta Upsilon must also provide valued products and sensitive service. Thus, our mission, vision, and goals must have a laser focus on the Fraternity's most important assets: undergraduate and alumni. At the 1995 Leadership Institute, we will introduce a Vision of Delta Upsilon for the future. It will be consistent with the purpose and principles on which we were founded, and will serve to re-invest the Fraternity's essential product-line and delivery systems, and create a stronger clientservice relationship with DU brothers of all ages. Furthermore, this vision will empower our leadership to serve its brothers with zeal and efficiency. We look forward to your involvement as we Build the 21 st Century Fraternity. Fraternally,

Letters to the Editor Mission Statement Delta Upsilon Quarterly magazine The worldwide circulation of your magazine serves 50,000 alumni; 4,000 undergraduate brothers and their parents, and nearly 100 university greek advisors and deans on campuses with DU chapters and colonies througho ut North America. Four times each year, we seek to enlighten and educate through themes that appeal to the common interests of ou r readers; provide feature profiles and factual, newsworthy accounts of events and accomplishments in the lives of a lumni and undergraduate members; and engage and inform ou r constituency, through content that remembers the past , illustrates the present, and anticipates the future challenges faced by fraternities. Finally, our magazine endeavors to promote the va lue of fraternity membership in Delta Upsilon, mainta ining an unyielding commitment to the principles upon which our brotherhood was founded: • The Promotion of Friendship • The Development of Character • The Diffusion of Liberal Culture • TheAdvancement of Justice.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JULY 1995

From the Editor: .. The last thing this world needs, is another Mission Statement. Yet in the past 15 years or so of my involvement in DU, I cannot recall when the Quarterly has endeavored to document its purpose for all to see. In continuous publication since 1882, the magazine is truly an institution within our brotherhood. Accordingly, I realize that to some, it could appear not a little fatuo us to print a Mission Statement at this stage of the journal's evolution. Indulge us, then, as the team entrusted to assemb le the magazine four times a year, to have a document that will serve us as both a compass and a conscience for the Quarterly's content in the days ahead . We want each issue to carry a theme of some value in relevance in your life today. If you engage in any outdoor pastimes or athletic activi ty in the summer, this issue is filled with outstanding medical advice and perspective that comes to your home free-of-charge. Who said physicians no longer make house-calls? The new DU Headquarters staff is introduced on pages 26-27, and I believe you'll be impressed with the outstanding team that's been assembled to serve our chapters in the 1995-96 academic year. Also new to this issue, is a column by Brother Robert P. Clark, Marietta '66. We plan to feature Brother Clark's viewpoint with a page each quarter, as he provides alumni and undergraduate brothers with some intellectual ammunition for use against those who would erase fraternity life from the landscape of our campuses. His perspective and remarks are not intended to be inflammatory, though I anticipa te sparks flying in response to some of his assertions . We invite the debate and thoughtful dialogue in the best tradition of our 1834 founders . October's issue will feature brothers' reminiscences of World War II, as we commemorate the 50th anniversary ofV.E. and V.I. days. It will be the first issue to exceed 32 pages in the past 25 years, and will serve to maintain our commitment to improve

the Quarterly, working to make it a more relevant and vital medium for communication and expression in the lives of our readers . To the Editor.., Every issue of the magazine yields an eclect ic batch of response mail, which is a tribute to the d iverse interests and viewpoints that our Fraternity has embraced since its inception. In our recent history, "Letters to the Editor" have been unsolicited and have therefore gone largely unpublished. We would like to change all of that starting in the next issue which will be published in October. Our Mission Statement mandates that this magazine be of service to you as it promotes our Fraternity. We shall depend on you, therefore, to communicate our success in achieving the magazine 's mission - in all future issues, this space will be yours as a page to provide your thoughts on what you have read in the Quarterly. Recently, we have been taken to task by readers for featuring the AIDS Memoria l Quilt (October 1994 cover); for attempting to cut publication costs by asking for uninterested brothers to volunteer their removal from the magazine's mailing list (wrap-around cover, October 1992); and for supporting the right of all DU chapters to remain single-sex (April 1995). Conversely, people have written to express enjoyment and interest in features on reforming elementary education (April 1995); how to navigate through a job search and other careeradvice viewpoint (April 1994); and recollections of a brother's experience in the Vietnam War, where he served as a surgeon (October 1993). In order for the Quarterly to truly serve your needs, you must have a stake and a share in helping craft its direction for the future. Please address all correspondence on the magazine to me at: Delta Upsilon Headquarters, P. O. Box 68942, Indianapolis, IN 46268 . I look forward to hearing from you.

Having recently been named Head Coach of the National Football League's Los Angeles Raiders, Brother White appears headed for a return to the Bay Area, should the team move back to Oakland . In a career that has spanned 37 years of coaching football at every level, this season will mark the first time he has taken the helm of an NFL team. Brother White was a three-sport letterman in Football, Basketball and Track . Upon graduation, he served as an assistant coach at Cal until 1963, before moving to become the Offensive Coordinator at Stanford from 1964- '72. For the 1973 season, he returned to his alma mater as Head Coach where his team

quickly captured the Pac-8 title in 1975. Leaving Berkeley in 1978, Brother White was offered his first professional football assignment as Offensive Line Coach for the San Francisco 4gers, under Bill Walsh. 1980 brought a terrific opportunity to return to the college game, as Head Coach for the University of Illinois. After serving in Champaign for eight seasons (one of which included a 1983 Rose Bowl berth), he undertook a new challenge as a consultant to the fledgling World League. In April of 1990, he once again became "Coach White" -- with responsibility to oversee the offensive line for the L. A. Raiders. Regardless of your team allegiance, please join the Quarterly staff in wishing Brother White every success in his inaugural season as a NFL Head Coach.

Your Aching Back: a doctor's guide to relief n the Western world, epidemiological studies reveal that back pain afflicts a staggering 60 to 80 percent of the population. Out of every 10 people under 45 who have chronic medical conditions limiting their activities, four are back and spine pain victims. Backache takes a back seat only to headache as the most common medical complaint, and is second only to the common cold as a reason for missed work.

by Dr. Augustus White, III Brown '57

Who's at risk?

STAY IN THE GAME How to conquer injuries from the links to the rinks

Back pain patients tend to be between 30 and 55 years old. Why? Very simply, the discs between the vertebrae of your lower back change in the normal course of aging. The young disc is elastic and full of fluid, but starting at about age 30, it gradually becomes dry or scarred and its mechanics change, making it more likely to fragment, move out of place, or cause pain. Actually, back-pain risk decreases for men after age 50, but this is not so for women. This is because the problem of osteoporosis (a loss of bone density that weakens the vertebrae and sometimes causes them to collapse) begins to occur in women and causes backache. Epidemiological studies suggest that males are slightly more prone to herniated discs (this is a situation in which a part of the disc moves out from its normal position between the vertebral bodies, causing severe back and/or leg pain) and more likely to undergo surgery than females with problems of equal severity. Perhaps the differences in occupation, athletics, and amount of driving, rather than genetics, account for the male 's greater weakness. Or perhaps men simply tolerate pain badly and are thus more afflicted and therefore more likely to end up with the most rigorous treatment. There is also a type of arthritis of the lumbar spine (low back) associated with an abnormal forward displacement of the vertebra (degenerative spondylolisthesis), which is four times more common in women than in men. Sorry folks, but the reason for this remains to be discovered. One kind of back problem, invertebra I disc disease seems to run in families. Ditto for slipped vertebrae, the almost unpronounceable name of which is spondylolisthesis (SPON-dillow-la-THEE-sis). A few racial differences show

In the Western world, back pain afflicts a staggering 60 to 80 percent of the population.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JULY 1995

up here. American whites, for example , are more prone to spondylolisthesis than American blacks - and Eskimos have about a 10 times greater tendency to develop the disease than whites. The basis of this seems to be an anatomic difference in the lower part of the lumbar spine. There is evidence that herniated disc problems "run in families." There may be a hereditary predisposition in the chemical makeup of the disc that makes it more likely to fragment and move out of its normal anatomic position and cause nerve irritation.

Your Occupation

There is evidence that herniated disc problems "run in families. "

STAY IN THE GAME 10

You can't do very much about your sex, age, or race, but you can change your job , or some of its tasks, when necessary - which is fortunate, since your job may affect your back more than anything else. People who spend at least half of their job time driving a motor vehicle are three times more likely than the average worker to suffer a herniated disc. A key issue here is that of road vibrations. Most vehicles vibrate in a range of 4.5 to 5.0 Hz (cycles per second) . The first resonant frequency (that frequency likely to cause perturbation or damage) of our spines is in the same range. It takes about five years for sedentary occupations or damaging leisure pursuits to do their evil work on your back. Weekend sitting, for example, has been linked to herniated disc disease in males, a fact that football widows may find useful ammunition. Obviously, most office jobs fall into the sedentary category - so secretaries, accountants, lawyers, academicians, computer programmers, and middle managers alike would do well to change position , stand, walk to appointments, and relax from time to time. On the basis of my experience, I'd also have to put firemen, policemen, and emergency medical technicians, who must perform extensive lifting quickly and without proper positioning, in the high-risk class. "For heaven's sake, stand up straight, or you'll get a bad back!" your parents may have innocently instructed you. Well, parental dogma notwithstanding, most studies maintain there is no real connection between voluntary posture and back pain. As for body build, most studies support the contention that there's no strong correlation between height, weight, body build, and backach e. Yet, all researchers can't agree all of the time: a few studies have shown a tendency for tall and obese people to develop backache.

How to avoid and relieve backache in sports and dance. There's no end to the variety of sports injuries . There are acute, specific injuries like fractures, and cumulative injuries, resulting from repeated damage . There are self-inflicted injuries and those inflicted by competitors. By the way, one of the least health preserving sports, boxing, more or less spares the back. How does your favorite sport treat your back? What are its specific dangers? Is there anything you can do to protect your spine and keep on playing? Here I'll try to answer all your questions, sometimes with the support of epidemiological studies, sometimes from my clinical experience .

Sport related back injury risk levels SPORT

RISK LEVEL

Baseball For starters , you have a straightforward twisting motion (axial rotation) as you swing the bat, and your contracting muscles exert large forces to accelerate the twist. Then the twist must stop at some point, whether or not you've made contact with the ball. And this sudden stop applies pressure to both the disc and the spine 's facet joints. What can you do for your back if you're a baseball aficionado? First, concentrate on developing a smooth , even swing. Come out of it by decelerating gradually and twisting your hips and knees to absorb some of the twist. Don't use a bat that's too heavy for you. If you pitch, smooth out your technique, avoiding extreme arching .

Basketball How can you write about sports and not mention the big round ball? Well, simply put, basketball players get backache, but the sport seems not to be one that particularly puts the back at risk.

Bowling The twisting motion in bowling is similar to batting in baseball. The bowler's shoulders and upper torso twist in one direction, while his/her hips and legs twist the opposite way. You can protect your back by developing a good technique. Try for a smooth accelerated delivery and avoid releasing the ball late, which transmits heavy stress to the spine and results in injury or excessive wear. Don't use too heavy a ball or one that doesn't fit your fingers . The latter can cause a jerky delivery, a delayed release, and a sore back.

Cycling This sport is generally not devastating to the back-pain-prone athlete. In fact, it's a good option for the jogger. It provides the leg exercise, the cardiopulmonary stimulation, and the change of scenery of jogging, but without the repeated impact-loading.

Football I enjoy and respect football, but I believe you ought to know its dangers. Football players engage in frequent heavy lifting in less than ideal ergonomic circumstances. Linemen are especially burdened, both in games and in practice. Blocking and tackling are usually done with the back in a position of 5 degrees or more of flexion (bending forward). Weights being lifted are the 200 to 300-pound bodies of competing linemen. The lift is usually performed with an extended spine, using the back and leg muscles , which places forces several times body weight on the lumbar spine. The result? Severe damage to the back part of the vertebrae, for instance. Spondylolisthesis runs four times higher in football players than the general population. It's probably the number one cause of severe, persistent backache in the active teenage football lineman. Quarterbacks, running backs, and pass receivers are vulnerable to a semipassive twisting injury. It occurs when the upper part of the torso

is being twisted in one or more directions by tacklers while the lower torso is being held fast or twisted in the opposition direction by other tacklers . The resulting twist injures the spine . What precautions can you take? Get in the best shape possible, not neglecting a good weight-lifting program . Then develop blocking and tackling techniques that respect your back a little . This is easier said than done, I know. If you have persistent severe lower backache for 14 days with no improvement, have it checked for spondylosis or spondylolisthesis, either of which should be treated before it gets worse. Spondylosis is the result of two defects (cracks) in the back part of the vertebra. When you have a sore back, remember that you may be awkward, weak, and prone to a more severe injury if you insist on playing . Sometimes your doctor may let you resume playing in an appropriately prescribed brace.

Golf Those who 've been around golf much at all know that back pain goes with the turf. The twisting motion accompanying the drive is the dangerous part of golf, as it can damage the intervertebral discs and the facet (intervertebral) joints. I had occasion to meet an avid golfer who for 20 years after a disc removal and spinal fusion had done very well, playing golf regularly. Then one day he completed a long driving swing with a number two club and fell to the ground with excruciating back and leg pain. At the hospital, a myelogram revealed a large disc extruding just above the fused area of his spine. He had immediate surgical removal of the disc . After his recovery, he was advised to stay away from the green . What had probably happened was that his very efficient twisting swing was accentuated by the stable fusion beneath his normal disc. Over the years, the efficient, progressive wear and tear on the disc adjacent to the fusion had damaged it. The final swing was enough to cause disc herniation and the golfer's drastic symptoms. This case is unusual, but if you do have back trouble , you should know that golf may expose you to further difficulties. To pamper your back, develop a swing that minimizes the twisting motion and any back discomfort. A good pro could no doubt guide you better, but I think your swing might involve more hip rotation and knee motion. This would stress your back less without introducing too many potential variations in your swing . Gradual warm-ups are also helpful.

Those who've been around golf know that back pain goes with the turf.

Finally, [if you're suffering from back trouble] and you use spiked golf shoes, switch to non-spiked shoes or tennis shoes, either of which will help reduce the impact at the end of the swing.

Jogging

Joggers often evince an enthusiasm bordering on the fanatical

Working with these athletes, one rarely encounters indifference. Joggers, in particular, often evince an enthusiasm bordering on the fanatical- which is great, in my opinion, since there's already too much subtlety in life. However, vertical impact-loading, or the bump-bump-bump as the road's vibrations are transmitted to your spine, can damage the discs and other structures. Fortunately, there's quite a lot you can do about it. The magnitude of the bump-bump-bump depends on your weight, your conditioning, your fatigue or lack of it, the smoothness of your stride, and the ability of your leg and other muscles as well as the hip and sacroiliac joints to dampen the impact. Your shoes and the surfaces you run on also count. Hundreds of pages have been written about running shoes. In brief, a good running shoe should (1) comply to the foot's contour; (2) be made of material in the heel and sole that will absorb energy; and (3) allow the foot to breathe. It doesn't necessarily follow that the most expensive shoe is the best.

Sailing Yes, there is risk here too. When you must hook your feet under a stable structure of the boat, extending your torso well over the gunnel for balance, you certainly risk irritating an underlying back problem. The reason is the same reason you should avoid sit-ups with knees straight and the feet hooked under the bed. In both circumstances considerable stress is exerted on the iliopsoas muscle and therefore on the lumbar spine to which it attaches. This may truly cause your back to ache.

Skiing

STAY

IN THE GAME 12

The main bogey here is the mogul that appears out of nowhere, or the jump in which you don't land just right. Other stresses are the parallel skier's repeated twisting and the chronic back strain endured by downhill and crosscountry skiers as they hold their torsos in a slightly flexed position. I suggest that if you're a skier with a back problem, avoid twisting your shoulders in the opposite direction in which

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JULY 1995

you're twisting your hips. Keep them as parallel as possible to avoid torque on your lower back. Another suggestion: if you ski and want to spare your back, develop your quadriceps muscles (so named for their "four heads"), the ones running from your hips to your knees in front. They're critical shock absorbers, balancers, and controllers of the skiing body. When strengthened, they can take up much of the energy that might otherwise jolt the spine. "When can I go back to the slopes?" is the question I most often hear from dedicated skiers. A quick, accurate, unfacetious answer is, when you can make love without back pain, and when you've done some basic back and quadriceps exercises.

Tennis Two parts of tennis can cause backache, these are the serve and the backhand. Some serving styles load the lower back as you extend your back and uncoil your arm and racket to hit the ball. If you have back trouble and you're using an Australian-style or American-twist serve, try changing your serve so as to eliminate the hyperextension. If back pain occurs only occasionally with your serve, do some exercises to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles and stabilize your spine. What should you do about your backhand, which is many players' most vulnerable point anyway? Ask a pro to teach you the best technique and hope it will let you carry out the stroke in a more relaxed way, minimizing the torsional forces.

Weight Lifting [Depending on the lift you are doing, working with weights] exerts immense stress on the lumbar spine. Evidence of spondylolysis runs as high as 40 percent among young Japanese weight lifters. The first back-saving suggestion is to master your technique and train appropriately. Avoid jerky movements in lifting weights from the floor. Other no-no's are movements in which the spine must go from a flexed to an erect or hyperextended position. And there's an excellent theoretical and experiential basis for the use of belts in both practice and competition. By increasing intra-abdominal and thoracic pressure, belts contribute to stiffening and unweighting the spine, which diminishes the strains on it.

SETting Yourself Up For Success

,,H

ow many sets should I do?" was one of the most commonly asked questions I received as a fitness instructor. Included with this question were stories of giant sets, super sets, pyramids, 4-hour workouts, and people who lifted weights every single day. One guy even told me that he did 15 sets on the Seated Rowing machine, and his last name was not Schwarzennegger. The answer I give everyone is based on a number of current studies and recent breakthroughs in fitness research, and many are surprised to hear the answer is "one." Like everything else in life, however, there is a catch. There is nothing magical about the number one, and this is not necessarily a less-is more argument. Rather, it is the conclusion that many fitness professionals have come to after applying facts about human physiology to much research and testing . The amount of time you spend in the weight room and the number of sets and reps you do are not the essential ingredients for increased muscle size and strength. Instead, what is important is the intensity you put into each exercise . The harder you train, the better your muscles will respond to the resistance they are being forced to work against. This response results in increases in muscular size and strength. High intensity is not derived from doing the extra set, or taking an extra half hour to do some more biceps and abdominal work. It is achieved by perform ing sets to momentary muscular fatigue, or "failure." For instance , when a person does a shoulder press, over the course of a set, muscle fibers are being fatigued in the shoulders (deltoids). If that person stops a set before failure, he or she has: 1) not fatigued as many muscle fibers as he or she possibly could have, and 2) in doing another set, many of those fibers will have already partially recovered, and be used again, rather than new fibers being recruited. This not only lessens that amount of muscle fibers in a muscle that are targeted, but also slightly diminishes the benefits of the first set. Once a muscle fiber is fatigued, it needs

about 48 hours to fully recover and completely reap the benefits of a workout. That 's why no one should exercis e the same muscle groups on consecutive days; muscles haven't had the needed time to benefit fully from the previous workout. After exercising to failure and fatiguing a muscle as much as one possibly can, STOP! That's it for that exercise. Let your body recover. Now the question to answer is how many repetitions make up this set? Three? Ten? Twenty-five? The response to this question is somewhat involved . Most people tend to perform each repetition rather quickly, then let gravity bring the weight back down. Not only is this technique dangerous in terms of the explosive strain that it puts on joints, but the rebounding momentum decre ases the beneficial effect to those who use this method . The muscles are not being made to work as hard as they can. Currently, athletic trainers recommend lifting while counting to two, pausing momentarily, lowering the weight while counting to four, pausing again, and repeating. We'll call the technique a "2&4-count" repetition . At no time should the weights being lifted touch those on the stack nor should any weight rest on your body. There should be tension on the muscle in both the lifting and lowering directions. This returns us to the subject of intensity. Research has shown that most people can sustain working out with 2&4 count repetitions for about 50 to 70 seconds before their intensity drops and they begin to fail. If, over this time period, each repetition lasts six seconds, about 8 to 12 repetitions will be performed. This is the range of repetitions that is recommended by athletic trainers today. The trick, therefore , is to find a weight for each exercise that causes you to fail somewhere within that range. 75% of the amount of weight you can do one time is probably a good place to start. If eight repetitions are too difficult , lower the weight slightly. Convers ely, if 12 are too easy, increa se weight. So, that 's the plan. Complete one set of lifts to failure , between 8 to 12 repetitions, at a two count lifting and a four count lowering. You will find this method to be just as challenging as working with multiple sets. Routines usually

When the Heat is On

Protect Yourself S

by ummer has arrived and the heat is on. As Phillip L. Barkley, M.D. temperatures climb and the humidity Director, Bradley reaches the "sauna stage," the potential for University Health Center heat related medical problems soar. Each year hundreds of people suffer the consequences of poor planning when it comes to being prepared for heat and humidity. Humans regulate heat by several mechanisms, but the effects of sweating are the most important. When a person sweats, water evaporates from the skin allowing heat to dissipate. High levels of ambient humidity interfere with sweat evaporation and effective cooling, therefore increasing the likelihood of heat problems. Heat cramps are the most common and least serious of the heat related syndromes, and even individuals that are in good physical condition may develop muscle spasms after heavy exertion. Because the extremities bear the brunt of physical exertion, spasms are most commonly seen in the legs and arms. Excessive sweating is the cause of this condition, and treatment consists of replacing the excessive sweat loss with salt and water. Heat exhaustion is a more serious phenomenon resulting from overexposure to heat. Elderly " individuals, alcoholics, those on water pills, and those with chronic medical illnesses are at particular risk of developing heat exhaustion, although it can occur in physically active people. Heat exhaustion presents with weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and faintness , which if unchecked, leads to collapse. Often the onset is sudden, but the loss of consciousness is brief. Treatment consists of laying the person flat and moving him to a cool area. Maintenance of fluid and salt balance during exercise may help to prevent the condition. Spontaneous recovery usually takes place, but get the person to medical care for evaluation. Exertion heat injury occurs in individuals exercising in hot ambient temperatures (80 degrees F) often when the relative humidity is high. Predisposing factors include obesity, age, and previous heat stroke. Runners that are poorly conditioned, poorly acclimated to heat, and are

inadequately hydrated are also at risk. Symptoms consist of headache, piloerection (gooseflesh), chills, hyperventilation, nausea , cramps, unsteady gait and incoherent speech. Occasionally compli cations , including kidney failure, can be severe , but prompt treatment can prevent serious problems. The person should immediately be cooled, preferably between cool sheets , with arrangements made for urgent transportation to the emergency room. Heat stroke is a potential life threatening event, and is the most serious heat related condition. It is most common in the elderly that have underlying medical conditions, but diabetes, alcoholism, certain medical usage, and severe skin conditions may also predispose to heat stroke. It is also recognized that military recruits and long distance runners may also become afflicted . As noted in heat exhaustion and exertional heat injury, dizziness , headache, faintness and confusion may precede loss of consciousness, however in heat stroke sweating often ceases and the temperature of the body rises to high levels . Shock, kidney failure, liver damage, heart damage, and finally death are common in heat stroke. Heroic measures are required to limit the severe complications of heat stroke , Most of the person's clothing should be removed and then the person placed in a cool well-ventilated place. While calling emergency personnel, cold wet towels are placed with a fan blowing on the person to help dissipate heat. Delay in treatment may lead to death. The spectrum of heat related syndromes varies from as benign as heat cramps to a serious life threatening process as heat stroke. Protect yourself with a few common sense practices . 1) Limit outdoor activities during the hottest time of the day, usually between 10 am and 3 pm. 2) Keep well hydrated by drinking water or electrolyte containing fluids frequently during the activity. 3) Gradually over 10 to 14 days increase exercise in heat - this allows for acclimation to occur. 4) If you don't currently exercise or have any underlying medical problems, check with your physician before starting an exercise plan. 5) Wear cool, loose-fitting clothes during exercise in the heat. 6) If during exercise or outdoor activities, you begin to develop cramps, headache, dizziness, nausea, chest pain or shortness of breath, STOP and seek medical attention. Have fun outdoors this summer, but be careful. When the heat is on and the humidity is high, protect yourself.

A Certified Athletic Trainer responds to commonly asked questions and situations. ften we see professional athletes race onto the field with both ankles wrapped in enough white tape to cover the inhabitant ofan Egyptian tomb. Can ankle taping help me, too? If we are talking about ankle sprains, the judicious use of correctly applied adhesive tape is definitely an effective method of preventing injury. This should not, however, cause you to run out and buy athletic tape for your weekend competition. One of the problems with tape is that it fails to maintain a consistent amount of support during long periods of activity. Another problem is that it may effect negatively your agility and running. Besides, when wrapping the foot, a roll of tape doesn't last very long - this can be an expensive method of protection. Also, you will need a trainer to do it: taping an ankle doesn't involve just winding the tape around the joint. There is a technique to it, and taping can't be effectively done on oneself. For these reasons, various kinds of ankle stabilizers and semi-rigid orthoses have been created which work rather well to reduce the ankle joint's range of motion, and thereby help prevent sprains. Ultimately, the best defense for a potential ankle sprain is to properly exercise the joint and build up the supportive musculature which should prevent the injury from occurring in the first place. It took me a long time on the hot-surfaced tennis court to beat my nemesis. Along with the victory, I have a memorable blister on my foot. How should I treat it? Blisters seem to be a common problem in moist areas where friction is present and the skin is thick; palms and soles are typically involved. Clean the area with a good antibacterial soap before doing anything else, being certain to debride the wound. Generally, the overlying skin may be removed and a light layer of antiseptic creme or ointment may be applied. Cover the area with a hydroactive gel dressing such as Spenco 2nd Skin or Vigilon. These dressings are polyethylene membranes whose composition exceeds 90% water. These types of occlusive dressings retain moisture in the healing tissues and promote a faster wound resurfacing. A recent study suggests that leaving the elevated skin of a blister intact may be an effective treatment for painful,

IIIIlI

partial thickness blisters, provided the underlying wound is kept clean and the wound occluded. Almost always I return from roller blading with cuts and scratches and scrapes. Is there anything I can do to speed up my healing and avoid scarring? For many years, it used to be felt that wounds should be allowed to scab and dry out in order to heal themselves best. When considering healing time and safety, this may not be the most prudent course of action. New understanding of wound management suggests that many types of wounds heal faster, are less painful, and are less prone to infection and cross-contamination than wounds not treated or treated with other methods when they are covered with occlusive dressings. Occlusive dressings trap moisture next to the skin. They may be films (such as Bioclusive, Tegaderm and Opsite), hydrogels (such as Spenco 2nd Skin and Vigilon) and hydrocolloids (such as DuoDERM, Comfeel and Tegasorb). These types of dressings adhere well to the contours of the body and may therefore be an excellent wound dressing for athletes who want to continue with their events, and minimize their "down" time. I always see professional athletes holding ice on their injuries - is this the fastest way to return them to play? As simple as it seems, ice is a very effective way to treat minor sprains which occur from athletic competition. The ice serves to decrease the swelling and pain which accompany a sprain and delay healing. The best treatment regimen is to apply the ice about 20-25 minutes each hour, starting as soon as possible after the injury occurs. But this is only part of what needs to be done to get you back into playing shape quickly. By decreasing or stopping your activity, you allow your body to start repairing the damage and avoid complicating an otherwise minor situation. Wrapping the affected body part with an elastic compression bandage and elevating the area, also helps to keep the area from swelling, an undesired side effect of many sprains. The mnemonic "RICE" is a good one to remember when you are treating minor athletic sprains: Rest, Ice, .compression, Elevation. Brother Franz is a CertifiedAthletic Trainer, and currently serves as Assistant to the President of St. Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota.

Some Parting Shots

If the pleasure derived from a sport exceeds the pain, then "batter.. up."

You may have noticed that [recommendations in] each subheading contain admonitions about fitness and good conditioning. Good muscle tone and endurance are of the utmost value to your health in any sport. One more point. People often say, "Use a little common sense." My recommendation is that you use a whole lot of common sense, especially when engaging in recreational sports like skiing, tobogganing, snowmobiling, and diving, where you may be tempted to perform after a few drinks. [Think about] the pleasurepain ratio. Simply put, if the pleasure derived from a sport exceeds the pain incurred, then "batter-up," "serve' em up," or whatever. After following [these] recommendations, you're probably safe in regulating your sports activities on the basis of the pleasure-pain equilibrium. Good luck!

Cost of College in

by Thomas D. Hansen, Iowa State '79

ea dy for the good and bad news about the costs of a college education in the year 2020, that is, when your soon-tobe newborn, or your grandchildren, will matriculate? One bit of good news arises from a recent economic development: tuition, fees and book expenses are no longer rising faster than the general inflation rate. That's because colleges have had to pull back on fee hikes due to competition for top high school graduates. More good news: it's never too late to start planning for -read that saving for -- a college education. The bad news: current projections are that if it costs $6,000 today for a year of tuition, fees, books, room and board and other expenses, that figure will rise to $23,320 a year by 2020, if the general and higher education rates of inflation average 5% a year. Combining family and student resources, scholarships, grants and loans, student employment, and other resources is not easy. Yet with planning and discipline, college expenses are within the reach of almost every family. Here are some general trends

and tactics: -- Studies by higher education specialists show that college cost increases tended to run about two percentage points higher than inflation since the early 1980s. In the past two years, the rate has been equal to the general inflation rate, or slightly above it. The pool of high school graduates has dwindled in the past five years, creating a shortage of good students and depressing college costs. But numbers of entering freshmen will rise after 2000, increasing the demand and perhaps driving prices higher. -- Save early and often. Regular savings, monthly or with each paycheck, will build a sizable college fund over 25 years. Even new college graduates in their first job can set aside $25 or $50 a month toward a college fund for future children (providing they resist temptation to spend it on something else). -- Ask other family members to consider college funds . Grandparents might be convinced to start a regular savings program at the birth of a child. -- Invest in instruments of modest growth. To stay ahead of inflation, most financial advisors recommend a mix of investments with some portion in stocks for growth. Look to mutual funds with above-average performance in up and down markets;

but don't shoot for huge returns which attach great risk. -- Create expectations about college costs and expenses. Is the highest priced private school a possibility? Will high school part-time work result in the child 's own college fund , however modest? Will the child work during college? -- Consider lifestyle as well. A college student accustomed to pizza delivery four nights a week, premium cable N service, a new car each year and a $1 ,000 per month clothing allowance, will likely carry those expectations to campus as well. Does the college funding plan allow for such personal expenses, or can the student be conditioned to a more reasonable lifestyle? -- Keep college short. Can the student test out of basic requirements? Can you req uire the student to take a full course load so as to graduate in four years? Is summer school possible? -- Monitor changes in colleges costs. Computers are now almost mandatory, but the price of a PC able to handle college demands is quite reasonable. In 2020, will textbooks still be sold at a campus bookstore, or downloaded from an on-line service? Will fraternity fees track general college price changes? -- Look at value, not just price . The price difference between a state university and a private school may be substantial; in the field of study, isthe degree of one worth far more than the other? Will credits from one college transfer to another? Is the intellectual challenge the same at both schools? Absent major changes in the structure of higher education, almost every student will still need a mixture of financial resources 25 years from now. The wise DU will start now and invest in the education of the next generation.

Chapter Spotlights The "Chapter Spotlight" department is designed to provide undergraduate and alumni chapter members with a forum to promote events and accomplishments throughout the year. For years, the Quarterly maintained a tradition to print news items from all chapters in two issues each year (July and October) . Until 1971, when the magazine used to run 60 pages or more, the practice to print 15 to 25 pages of "Chapter News" in two issues annually was quite reasonable. Today, each issue of the Quarterly contains 32 pages - including front and back covers - and 16 pages are required whenever we want to print letters from every chapter. In 1994, an editorial decision was made to feature some chapter news in every issue of the magazine, with an intention to "spotlight" each chapter and colony as least once in a 12-month period. The result is that more pages of each Quarterly are devoted to subjects and articles of broader interest to our entire readership . We have preserved some flexibility in this policy to feature some DU groups more than once a year, if they regularly submit stories and pictures, or have a specific event to highlight. The magazine's editorial staff can never have enough quality photos and chapter news items from which to select, so send us your story today. Deadline for the October issue is August 26,1995.

lighted many positive experiences we had throughout the year. Philanthropy continued to be one of our greatest strengths . We recently participated in several projects with Habitat for Humanity, as well as providing needy families with Christmas trees this past December. One of our most successful events of the semester was the DU Carnival held on April 30. Future plans include a DU Family Weekend and Homecoming in the fall. We hope for great attendance at both. John R. James III '97, VP for Public Relations

Joe Ratterman '69, alumni president, reported that the house will have four sleeping rooms for eight members, and a cold dorm which could sleep more if needed. One of the rooms in the house will serve as an educational resource room, which they hope to fill with computers and other equipment and furnishings to improve chapter scholarship. Some immediate needs include finishing two sleeping rooms and furnishing the chapter house. If there are any alumni who could provide some assistance in these areas, please contact Brother Ratterman at

We kicked off the fall semester with the addition of another quality pledge class. Alumni and undergraduates celebrated Founders' Day with a pasta dinner prepared by the pledges. The chapter also completed its 16th annual canned food drive benefiting the Marietta Salvation Army . Highlight of the spring semester was the chapter's 125th anniversary on March 24-26. (See story, page 28) The Marietta Chapter would like to thank all those who returned for the festivities. Continuing DU leadership on campus, Bill Bowers '97, is Greek Council President; Carte Goodwin '96, is IFC President; Keith Chlapaty '97, is Secretary; and Dan Schimmelpfenig '97, and Bill Bowers were elected to represent and attend the National Interfraternity Conference programming. We anticipate another successful year and look forward to seeing everyone in Banff. Dan Schimmelpfenig '97, VP Public Relations McGill

Our winter semester was one of continuing success. Our intensive participation in Greek Week won us the grand prize: a new 27 inch TV! Although rush got off to a slow start, we still initiated six promising men. We had two successful philanthropy events with the

In closing, I'd like to thank everyone who has played a fundamental role in the success of this chapter. Here's to the continuing success of D.U. at McGill! Brian Rotsztein '95, Philanthropy Chair/VP Internal Minnesota

The Minnesota Chapter is continuing to move forward In several ways. As of August 31 , 1995, we will be moving to the University of Minnesota's fraternity row . This is a definite step up from our current chapter house. Although much time and effort are anticipated to accompany the move to our new location, both our undergraduates and alumni are very excited. Starting this past school year with a chapter consisting of primarily juniors and seniors, we worked hard to bring in younger members. We successfully recruited 15 men over the course of the school year, inc luding 11 freshmen, and we are pushing hard on summer recruitment as well. The chapter hopes to

continue this trend and enlarge our chapter size to at least 40 men in the fall. Having been reinstalled less than three years ago, the Minnesota Chapter has worked to initiate its own traditions and is reestablishing ties with Minnesota alumni. In the spring we renewed the chapter newsletter the Kiupian II, and we plan to have the next issue out in the fall. The first annual DU alumni golf outing was held on June 11 and attended by Minnesota undergraduates and DU alumni from various chapters located in he Twin Cities. This summer we will be scheduling several other alumni events for the upcoming school year. Mark Winger '96, President North Carolina

The North Carolina Chapter had an exciting spring. We pledged five new members and initiated six new brothers during the semester. Alumni Founder's Day was a great success. Attendance was good for the April 8 Bar-B-Que, music, and b rotherhood. The golf tournament on April 9 was a fun time for alumni and undergraduates. We are currently making plans for our fall alumni event.

The annual Watkins' Club Celebration will be held the weekend of October 21 during the homecoming football weekend . Make plans now to join us for this exciting event. Mark Prakke '87, Alumni Chapter President Northern Iowa The past year was quite eventful for our chapter with nine men initiated November 20 and another six men initiated April 30, bringing our total membership to 31 . With an anticipated successful rush in the summer and the fall semester, we expect to see our numbers surpass 45. We burned the mortgage to the house after the last payment was made in September, major house renovations were completed on the exterior of the house. This year's chapter goals are 1) Rush - emphasis on quality and well-roundedness (Refuse to accept mediocrity!), 2) Traditions - reinforcement of the importance of DU ideals, 3) Brotherhood - continuation of friendship building activities and strengthen ing of brotherhood bonds, and 4) Alumni Relations - strive for more alumni involvement. We want the undergraduate members to reach out and work with alumni brethren more often in the year ahead. Ryan L. Naber '97, President Oklahoma The Oklahoma Chapter is proud to continue our standing as the top house at the University of Oklahoma with our accomplishments during the spring '95 semester. We kicked off the semester by initiating 26 men from our fall '94 pledge class on February 4th . This initiation gave way to the pledging of 14 new spring pledges. During the semester our

Chapter Spotlights chapter was recognized at the annual greek awards banquet with the Top Scholarship Programming Award. We backed up this award by finishing second out of 21 houses in grades for the spring semester. We also finished fourth in lntrornurols. just a mere seven points behind first place in one of the closest finishes ever at Oklahoma. On a global scope, our chapter was very shocked by the tragic Oklahoma City bombing. The downtown area is just 20 miles north of the Norman campus. Even though no one within our chapter was directly affected, our prayers went out to all the victims and friends who were affected by the bombing. The University and the greek system set up various food and clothing drives to assist all of the victims and families in the bombing. We also had volunteers in the house to assist in the rescue and clean-up effort following the tragedy. Fortunately, the incident led to a strong bonding between the students, the greek system, and all of the citizens involved in the surrounding Oklahoma City area. Michael Colvin '96, President St. Norbert The St. Norbert Chapter recently concluded an excellent spring semester, following the fall highlight of our chapter's installation. Very active socially and in the community this year, the chapter contributed significant time and energy to philanthropic endeavors with St. Joseph 's Church , the Red Cross Blood Drive, the March of Dimes and Mothers Against Drunk Driving Walk. In addition, Brothers Coo-

per and Rentmeester helped the school present a risk management and liability forum for all student organizations. A strong showing in Winter Carnival and intramurals , as well as the spring formal, rounded out our social calendar. Because of our extensive campus and community involvement, St. Norbert College has recognized our chapter as the 1994-95 Most Outstanding Social Organization of the Year. This is the first year the Student Government Association has awarded such recognition. Congratulations also to Brian Cooper, St. Norbert's 'Zeus' award winner, which acknowledges the person who most personifies exemplary fraternity life at St. Norbert. All this and the chapter continues to boast the highest fraternity GPA with a 3.175 grade point average. We look forward to our second outstanding year as a chapter of Delta Upsilon. M. Brady Huber '97, President Washington The Washington Chapter is gearing up for summer rush 1995 w ith a bang. Already we have six men pledged and 10 more likely. We also wanted to involve alumni in the rush process and had an alumni banquet on July 7 to give the alumni an opportunity to meet the men who are rushing DU. Also, if there are any alumni who know of men attending the University of Washington next fall, please call Andrew Cook at (206) 526-7049. We would like to thank Stewart Robinson, as well as other alumni, and assure you that we are actively seeking all referrals that DU's give us. R. Andrew Cook '96, President

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JULY 1995

Authorities in several fields - law, business, government, and education will serve as facilitators. Their primary objectives will be to impart their knowledge to the new chapter and colony presidents, present sessions on valuable leadership concepts, and contribute to the development and experience of DU's undergraduate leaders. The Fraternity's Board of Directors is planning to hold its quarterly business meeting in concurrence with the Academy. Their participation in the program will afford presidents an opportunity to engage in discussions and to offer direct input to Board members, as well as to learn more about the governance of Delta Upsilon. The Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel in Arlington will serve as the site for this year's Academy. Chapter and colony leaders in attendance will be able to take advantage of the distinctive

and historic offerings of the U.S. capitol, Washington, D.C., a quick Metro ride from the hotel. The 1996 Presidents Academy is being made possible through the generous contributions of the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. Funding through the DUEF will provide for the transportation and lodging costs for the participants. Chapters and colonies will also contribute a registration fee for their president which will help absorb the costs of program materials and meals. Additionally, the Fraternity welcomes further support or sponsorship of the registration fee for the president from a chapter or colony. Just contact the staff at the International Headquarters (317) 875-8900. The Fraternity is enthusiastic about the 1996 Presidents Academy. We look forward to a terrific program!

A Return to Our Roots The DU Convention of 1934 and the campus visit of 1995 to Williams College n November 4, 1995, a year of 160th Anniversary observances for DU will conclude, as the Fraternity will turn 161. Mindful of the anniversary year, the Fraternity's Board of Directors gathered in Boston for its 1995 spring quarterly meeting. As you may remember from your DU pledge education, the campus of Williams College was where our Fraternity was founded, and is separated from Boston by approximately 140 miles. So it was that a delegation of DU Board members and staff decided that a trip to visit Williams would be a fitting and enjoyable way to commemorate the birth of our Fraternity 160 years ago, and traverse the landscape that attracted the annual DU Convention in 1934. Tucked away in the extreme Northwest corner of Massachusetts, Williams College is the archetypal picturesque New England campus, surrounded by the added drama of the Berkshire Mountain range. On a visit to Williams in 1839, Henry David Thoreau wrote, "It would be no small advantage if every college were thus located at the base of a mountain." The small group of DU brothers who visited the campus last spring, marveled at the enterprise it surely must have been in 1834 to negotiate by horse, or on foot, the craggy hills and steep adverse inclines on a journey from nearly any direction to Williamstown. The group's self guided tour of the campus began with a stop in front of West College, Williams' oldest academic building, built in 1791. It was here in the Freshman Recitation Room 160 years ago, that 30 men met to form what constitutes an international fraternity of 95 DU chapters today. At the Fraternity's convention of 1934, the delegates commemorated the birth of our brotherhood by placing a magnificent marble tablet in the walk that approaches the East side of West College. Worn by age and pedestrian traffic over the past 60 years, the tablet remains intact, with the words "Delta Upsilon Fraternity 1834 - 1934" still

It centers on a circle ofmarble ..Leading up to this circle, which is filled in with specially prepared rough stone, are walks and on their sides are plain marble benches... In a short and graceful speech Brother Bevan then presented the Memorial to the college. He said, "Opinions may differ as to whether the value to American culture of college fraternities is positive or negative. "However, most college men recognize that fraternities do exercise an important influence upon the lives of college students, both during undergraduate days, and in the years of later life. "Our Fraternity had its origin in Williams College 100 years ago. We members ofDelta Upsilon feel that Dr. Suzzalo, president ofthe University of Washington, was right when, in welcoming our 1925 Convention, he said: "'It is a part ofyour tradition to make things better by seeing them, in greater breadth. Delta Upsilon was born in the spirit ofreform.' "In presenting this memorial to Williams College through you, Mr. Warren, as Senior Trustee ofthe College, we hope that your fellow trustees, and your students will agree with Dr. Suzzalo's evaluation of our tradition, and that our Fraternity, both here at Williams, and throughout the United States and Canada, may merit, in the years to come, your approbation. " The Memorial was accepted by Bentley Warren, senior trustee of Williams.

below). From there, it was on to "Garfield Hall," otherwise known as the former Williams Delta Upsilon Chapter house. While a variety of refurbishments have changed other areas of the building, the first floor common areas have been beautifully preserved. The most inspiring feature of the first floor, from a DU pilgrimage standpoint, was the oak-paneled library, into which are carved all 30 names of our founders. Over the mantel stands perhaps the finest carving of the Delta Upsilon crest in existence - rivaling the one you can find in the current University of Michigan Chapter house. From there it was on to the quaint time-warp storefronts of Spring Street for a quick lunch, followed by a peek inside St. John's Church, before returning to Boston. DU Board Chairman, Bob Edgar, Alberta '55, summed up the experience best by suggesting that, "A visit to the Williams campus really provides you with a sense of connection to our DU heritage. Every brother ought to see this place."

Fraternity Installs Three .

"Brothers, make the most of it. " SUNY-Albany The determination and dreams of 32 young men came alive over the weekend of April 21, when the State University of New York (SUNY) Albany Colony became this year's fifth new Delta Upsilon Chapter. The Installation weekend capped off three years of diligent effort by colony members. Thirty-one undergraduates and one alumnus received the Rites of Initiation from Brother William 1. Bittner, Bradley 74, a member of the International Fraternity's Board of Directors and Chairman of the Loss Prevention Committee, and Brothers James Bell, Calgary '94, and Greg Lamb, Iowa '94, 1994-95 Leadership Consultants. Friday evening's ceremonies began with the Installation Exam and Rite I of the Fraternity's ritual, followed by a discussion of Delta Upsilon's Four Founding Principles and the Albany brotherhood 's futur e goals . An excited group of men then inscrib ed their signatures in the Chapter Roll Book , as the founding fathers of the Albany Chapter of Delta Upsilon Internat ional Fraternity. On Saturday afternoon the group gathered at the SUNY-Albany Alumni House for commencement of Rite II. Brother Bittner gave a rousing Installation Charge as he inspi red the men to even greater standards. Brother Bittner discussed history, philosophy, and principles, and committed the initiates to embrace the dreams of our Williams College founders . Following Initiation and Chapter Installation ceremonies, the group

University of Central Florida "We have traveled through time together and our dream has now become a reality. New and exciting challenges lie ahead. The future is in your hands. Brothers, make the most of it!" Such were the inspiring words of Paul Rosenthal, Florida 73, past member of the Fraternity's Board of Directors and advisor to the new members of the Central Florida Chapter. Those words and the March 2425th weekend will forever have special meaning for the 45 undergraduate men and five alumni who make up Delta Upsilon's newest chapter at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando. Joining Brother Rosenthal to perform the Installation and Initiation Ceremonies, were Alan Pascale, Florida '80, Treasurer for the UCF DU Alumni Chapter, and Thomas Durein, Oregon

State '92, Director of Member Services for DU International Fraternity. Expertly planned by the undergraduate membership, the weekend's festivities began Friday evening with a reception to honor parents and friends while DU undergraduates and alumni participated in Rite I of the Fraternity's ritual. Saturday's Rite II ceremonies began just after noon in the University Auditorium, with 50 men committing themselves to the oath of Delta Upsilon Fraternity and her principles. The afternoon witnessed a celebratory expression of congratulations from the women of Alpha Delta Pi, as they hosted the Old Gold Reception in honor of the Central Florida Chapter's founding fathers . Immediately following, an open house and the DU flag raising ceremony capped the afternoon's festivities. On Saturday evening the presentation of gifts from the International Fraternity, and other chapter achievement awards were made at the Justice Banquet, held at the Park Avenue Grill. New members and their families and friends recalled milestones over three years of achievement on the road to Installation. One of UCF's newest fraternities,

Shippensburg University On Saturday, April 8, 1995, several years of hard work came to realization when the Shippensburg Colony became a new chapter of Delta Upsilon, and the eighth one for DU in the state of Pennsylvania. Decked out in tuxedos with tails, initiation ceremonies brought 32 new members into the brotherhood. Initiation and installation ceremonies were performed by a ritual team consisting of the Fraternity's Ritual and Installation Chairman, Dave Maguire, Southern Illinois '73, former Leadership Consultant, Joel Riley, DePauw '91, and Leadership Consultant, Jason T. Altenbern, Western Illinois '94. Installation day began with colony members taking the Fraternity's installation examination. Immediately following, Rite One was conducted by the ritual team at the Delta Upsilon house on South Earl Street. Rite II ceremonies then continued at Our Lady of the Visitation Catholic Church, across from the main campus. Brother Maguire delivered a brief initiate charge, and challenged the new brothers to be more than what our DU founding principles declare us to be. He suggested that greatness, measured by age or loftiness of our principles, is shallow. There is something existing much deeper in our fraternity. The legacy and heritage that has been handed down by past generations of Delta Upsilon brothers is one that we should always endeavor to maintain. Following the installation ceremonies, the chapter retired to Old Main on the campus for the traditional Delta

Aspin dead at 56 "Les Aspin was one of the premier public servants of this generation and time. He made tremendous and important contributions to our national defense policy and many, many other areas as well. " - Tom Foley, Former House Speaker On May 26 more than 750 people gathered at Gesu Catholic Church on the Marquette University campus to pay tribute and say goodbye to Brother Les Aspin, Marquette '70. Past and present Wisconsin governors, senators and congressmen, as well as Vice President AI Gore were among the many who honored the long time political figure. Brother Aspin represented Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District for 22 years, rising to become Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, before President Clinton named him Secretary of Defense. He served in that position for 11 months in 1993. He taught at Marquette University both before and after he was elected to Congress. The Marquette Chapter of Delta Upsilon made Brother Aspin an alumnus initiate of the Fraternity. It was announced during the service that Marquette's Washington Center for Government, where Brother Aspin taught, was being renamed the Marquette University Les Aspin Center for Government.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JULY 1995

, The Advocate

by R. P. Clark, Marietta '66 "O 'er all thine enemies forever victorious..." goes the stirring lyric of "Hail Delta Upsilon," one of our Fraternity's most popular songs. As graduate and undergraduate brothers joined in singing it at a recent event, that line gave me pause. In the song's context, the term "enemies" was only the pardonable hyperbole of the locker room, or the exuberant expression of competition for pledges or interfraternity athletic honors. Today, in the Age of Political Correctness, however, it can be taken quite literally. We seem to have some very determined enemies. One may well ask, "Why should an organization devoted to Friendship, Character, Culture and Justice acquire enemies?" Well, let us acknowledge that one reason might be shortfalls in living up to our stated principles, to the practical affirmation that justice is our foundation. This is no easy commitment, after all. Look with what difficulty justice is done in our courts of law today; I think I need cite no cases . In DU and in most social interaction, justice is about reasoned fairness, about "doing unto others ...". And in our civil and criminal law we are promised , on the entablature of the Supreme Court, only equal justice. Nothing is said about perfect justice, which is unlikely ever to be attained by imperfect humans in either the legal or the social context. Yet many of our current societal excesses of litigiousness and the popularity of "victim" status derive from those who persist in confusing these two concepts of justice. Significantly, political systems purporting to seek a perfect justice of one sort or another, have blighted and bloodied much of the current century. Of course, true justice must rest upon an objective and discoverable reality, and hold itself above special pleading, ideology, or externalities. Justice based upon unreason is a contradiction in terms, a travesty. And as well as owing justice to others, we owe it to ourselves. There is no virtue in unwarranted self-abasement, in ritual flagellation, particularly in the face of

the irrational and unjust attacks on fraternities' and sororities' right to exist. (It is significant that many of our harshest critics, PC academics and in particular the feminist fringe, are openly anti-intellectual, disdaining reason and logic -- "a male rip-off' says Gloria Steinem. Baloney probably has a similar aversion to the slicing machine.) Other feminists describe logic as a tool used by the patriarchy to oppress women. And in science they maintain "intuitive impressions come closer to the truth than logically constructed arguments...the very tools of male science are proved deficient, and must be replaced by female instruments." Philosopher of mathematics Margarita Levin wonders "whether feminists airplanes would stay airborne for feminist engineers." A strong case can be made that we contend not with fair-minded critics or sincere reformers, but with, as our song suggests, enemies - people who think we should not be permitted to exist. One cannot deny that indefensible actions occur within our ranks from time to time. I believe, however, that the mea culpas have become a bit disproportionate to the sins. Any organization must undertake a manful defense when unjustly accused, and carry the struggle into the adversaries' camp. That is what this column aims to accomplish. Let us by all means encourage intelligent self-criticism, and bear in mind the serious liability issues that have sadly made one generation's highspirited pranks into this generation's federal cases. But let us also agree that would-be friends as well as enemies have called in too much heavy artillery on our own position . The Advocate's stance will be a vigorous, over-the-top, take-no-prisoners assertion of Delta Upsilon 's right to exist and prosper, and indeed of our unique and irreplaceable value as a part of the collegiate and life experience. We reject the fatuity of the dons of Williams College, who eliminated our founding chapter and all other fraternities in the name of "total education." It takes a special kind of obtuse-

ness to miss the irony, as one uproots a significant contributor to the very goal one proclaims. So let us set about, with relish and gusto, (as Scott Fitzgerald would have put it), a thorough deconstruction of the anti-Fraternity zealots . A future column will examine how well some of our most distinguished institutions of higher learning are observing their founding principles. Of course, one's own failings cannot be excused by those of others. But the low jinx, inanities, gross behavior and occasional destructiveness of youths (fraternity members or otherwise) "off on a spree" are in most cases pretty small beer compared with the intellectual dishonesty, misuse of funds, violations of Constitutional rights, and numerous betrayals of academic freedom practiced by some of the superannuated Flower Children with tenure, to whom fraternities are the source of all evil. Let them take up the manure fork and address their own Augean stables! Future "Advocate" columns will address many of these issues . Your thoughts are invited. Finally, in every issue of the Quarterly we will attempt to suggest where undergraduates and interested alumni may find intellectual ammunition in the form of books, articles , and other items of interest. To get started, the following are highly recommended: Who Stole Feminism, by Christina Hoff Summers, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Clark University and The Heterodoxy Handbook: How to Survive the PC Campus, available from the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, P. O. Box 12400 Ventura Blvd . Suite 304, Studio City, CA 91604.1-800-752-6562. Brother Clark is senior vice president of Marketing Strategies Incorporated, a biomedical and high technology advertising and public relations firm located near Boston. He is a past president ofDUNE, The Delta Upsilon Alumni Club ofNew England.
