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.

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 S em­inars 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.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY·April, 1987 27

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

DELTA UPSILONQUARTERLyoApril,1987

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.

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

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY·April, 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 Beck­

man 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 con-cerns 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'undation 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. ' 1

~'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

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

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY o April, 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.

"In¥ite men who are out of school and let them come down to the

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-

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.

In 1940, Dr. Beckman intro-

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-

32 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY o April, 1987

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."

Two of DU's astronauts ntake headlines 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-

ond flight in June 1983. He was pilot of a five-person crew that first tested the shuttle's Canadian-l:milt remote-controlled arm. 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

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 chil-uren.

• For another DU astronaut, Feb­

ruary 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

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY· April, 1987

bailout because the jet was over a residential area.

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 .

Shaw: A near miss

"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

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 On­

tario, 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 back-

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.

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.

(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.)

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

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.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY· April, 1987 37

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.

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

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,

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

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

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· 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 is-

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

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY o April, 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· 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.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY-April, 1987 45

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 10-minute 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I

Letter to a chapter

Here's some 'nuts and bolts' for chapter success We've stressed quality, improve­

ment 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.

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.

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.

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

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 op-

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

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,

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY o April, 1987 49

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Please welcome these men as members of Delt~ Upsilon

What do these men have in com­mon? Both have made a mark for themselves in organizing amateur athletics - one the 1984 Summer Olympics, and the other the 1982 National Sports Festival and the Tenth Pan American Games to be held this summer.

Both have reached levels few men ever achieve - one is Com­missioner of Major League Base­ball, the other was a law clerk for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

And, as you may have guessed, both are DUs.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY· April, 1987 51

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.

• 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.

• Adding a new name to the Chap­

ter 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!

Milwaukee Club dinner honors Hipke, Butler The 63rd edition of the Milwau­

kee D.U. Club's Annual Dinner opened with President Charles Munkwitz, Indiana '68, paying tribute to brothers who had died in the past year, and an invocation 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.

The 64th annual dinner will be

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY o April, 1987

held on Friday, November 6, 1987, at the Pfister Hotel and Tower in Milwaukee.

This was the only report received of alumni club activities from the request in the january Quarterly. For the july Quarterly, please send news of your club's activities after July 1; also send a name, address and phone number of a contact for your alumni club so DUs new to the area can learn about your programs.

Most reports in the Quarterly on alumni clubs activities won't be this long, but all will be as thorough as space per­mits.

• • • and all I had to do was ask thelll Just as Delta Upsilon, as a Fra­

ternity, 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, '60 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, in-

54

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

Brothers W. Allen Perry, Iowa State '27, and Chester W. Martin, Iowa State '24, probably sounded bettel' on radio than this old photo makes them look.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLyoApril, 1987

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.dspianned 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 GP A 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

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY· April, 1987

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

Brother Ronald E. Dowhaniuk, Oregon State '86, left the DU professional staff in January after some serious illness in his imme­diate family required his presence at home.

With the months of April and May remaining, DU professional staff have visited all but seven chapters, with 79 chapters and nine

Correction The January issue of the Quar­

terly 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.
