Fraternity loyalty is something 1 which every member has and is I found in varying degrees. Whether it be as an undergraduate or an alumnus member, there is always that desire to be of help to make your organization one which stimulates great pride within its members.

How it is done also varies widely, but the main point is that each man is making his contribution.

Why does a member have this loyalty and what makes him remember his Fraternity? Most likely he thinks back to when he first became a pledge. The training the Fraternity gave him, the polish it added to his mannerisms, the development of his social life and the life long friends and true brothers are some of the reasons. He remembers that as a pledge and active he was on the receiving end most of the time.

Jerry Samuelson, our cover artist for this issue, has shown his loyalty and devotion for the Fraternity in several ways. Having been pledged to Acacia at U.C.L .A. in 1951 he served his chapter and became its Venerable Dean in 1955. Serving in the U.S. Army disrupted his schooling, but he managed to return to receive his Masters Degree in 1959.

Since 1959 he has been teaching two dimensional and three dimensional design classes for lower division students at U.C.L.A. As he is thinking about his own future, he is also thinking about the future of his chapter. He is presently serving as Chapter Adviser of the U.C.L.A Chapter. When asked about his membership in Acacia, he replied, "Ten years with Acacia that I have enjoyed very much."

THE FRATERNITY ALUM ~C-~1

~

(EDITOR's NoTE: The following is a reprint from BANTA'S GREEK EXCHANGE. Every Acacia alumnus should take time to read this thoroughly and make his efforts be known to make his the top fraternity chapter an his campus.)

Many years ago this writer used the Greek capital D., the Delta, as a symbol of the three-fold nature of fraternity membership. The most obvious description of the Delta is that it is an equilateral triangle composed of three intersecting straight lines of equal length united at each point of intersection.

The base line was said to represent the undergraduate chapter of a fraternity member, so designated because it is symbolic of the true basis of fraternity enthusiasm. One side line of the Delta represents the "general" or "national" fraternity of the alumnus; the third side stands for the American college fraternity tradition or "system" which dates back to the very founding of our Republic in 1776 with the founding of ifJ B K at the College of William and Mary, and which has grown in size, influence, and prestige step by step with the development of our nation.

In future articles it is planned to consider the two side lines of the Delta but for the present let us restrict our interest to the bottom or base line of the Delta-a line representing that to his undergraduate chapter on the part of every fraternity member.

Attention was called in the previous article to the all too common practice of using the word "active" to denote a member of the undergraduate chapter whereas it is the belief of this writer that every fraternity member should be considered as an "active" member of his chapter.

It is true that in most fraternity structures, alumni members have little or no voice in the day-by-day operation of the undergraduate chapter. The "resident" or "college" members are the recognized custodians of the chapter's charter and, in most cases, solely responsible for the affairs of the chapter although in most Greek groups the alumni have an advisory role, in some a "veto" power, and in a few joint responsibility with the undergraduates for the management of the chapter.

30

Could it be that this lack of assigned responsibility for the daily operation of a chapter has encouraged fraternity alumni to think of their fraternity experience in the past tense"'?

There is an established principle that anything which remains idle for long tends to grow weaker.

We recognize this principle at work in nature, in the body politic, and in our lodges, clubs, civic groups, and even in our churches. Just as the idleness of body muscles creates flabbiness and eventual deterioration with the passing years, so does idleness in social organizations weaken one's enthusiastic efforts in behalf of those societies, ¡ although he may never waver in his professions of faith and belief in the institutions which he fails to assist.

Allowing for the inevitable exception, we may accept the premise that idle alumni become inactive alumni and that inactive alumni tend to become disinterested alumni. Stated in a more positive way, if we want to develop stronger alumni support for our chapters and our fraternities, we must develop more working alumni-more alumni who are made to feel their efforts are needed by our chapters as indeed they are if our chapters are to develop to their maximum possibilities as developers of youth.

Most fraternity alumni look back to their resident chapter days with pride in the accomplishments of their chapter during their period of stewardship. With the passing of years we tend to accentuate the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of the chapter "in our time." And that pride in our chapter continues after resident days in the chapter house have ended, as we read of the accomplishments of today's chapter in newsletters and other fraternity publications.

As this article is being written, our nation is engaged in a struggle for political power. Most individuals seem to have a strong sense of loyalty to one of the two Presidential candidates. We are elated when our favorite candidate scores a particularly strong point and concerned when he appears to be losing support in a given area. If our preferred candidate is the subject of attack in our presence how quickly we come to his defense. But how few of us really do anything sig'nificant, such as ringing doorTHE TRIAD

~N

HELP HIS CHAPTER

bells, distributing literature, speaking, writing letters, or making financial donations, to help our favorite candidate on to victory. We are back to our choice . . . up to the point of expending some personal effort or giving some money to aid his cause.

Likewise, we alumni are proud of our respective chapters. We are pleased when we read of their successes and disappointed when we learn of their weaknesses or failures. And if an outsider offers a criticism of our chapter we rapidly rise to defend it.

But this feeling of concern and willingness to defend our chapters does not necessarily mean we are willing to help it. Yes, we are back of our chapters . . . up to the point of expending some personal effort or giving some of our money to assist them.

During the past decade this writer has talked with thousands of fraternity alumni in all sections of the United States and Canada. He has found only a few, an infinitesimal number actually, who have no interest in their fraternity and particularly in their own chapters. But of the thousands of alumni he has met only a comparatively few are actually doing anything for their respective chapters.

May at least one reason for this lack of effort on the part of thousands of alumni be the fact that they do not know what they can do to help improve the quality of their own chapter and thus strengthen all the chapters of their fraternity? Few have raised the question and few have been told.

No attempt will be made in this article to present an exhaustive list of activities in which alumni can engage to the benefit of their chapters but the remainder of our space will be concerned with an outline of some suggested things which most, if not all, alumni can do for their respective chapters.

1. An alumnus can help his chapter by expressing his personal interest in the current activities of the chapter.

We read of an outstanding accomplishment of our chapter. We are delighted to learn of this chapter success. Why not let the chapter know of our pleasure? We hear of some thoughtless act our chapter has committed and perhaps by unfavorable publicity has thereby contributed to the downgrading of fraternities in general on the part of the public.

We are displeased by this act. Why not let the chapter know of our displeasure?

By personal visits, telegrams or telephone calls, or in brief notes we can register our approval and/ or our disapproval of current chapter attitudes WINTER, 1961'

and actions and thus help to eliminate undesirable phases of chapter life. If every alumnus who professes loyalty to his chapter would make the effort to do this one thing, it is the conviction of this writer that our chapters everywhere would show an immediate and marked improvement.

2. An alumnus aids his chapter when he recommends desirable men as prospective members.

Every alumnus knows one or more outstanding young men who plan to attend his college in the next year or two. It may be the boy next door who has grown to an eighteen-year old under your daily observation-the son of a business associate-a member of your Sunday School class or worker in your church-or a close friend of your son or daughter. Write your chapter about him. Make your letter specific. Tell your chapter why you think he will make a good member of "our" chapter. Outline his accomplishments in school and in the neighborhood. If he has any handicaps which would tend to discourage the chapter from pledging him it is wise to call these to the attention of the cha~ter, emphasizing the fact that these handicaps did not affect his popularity or success in your neighborhood or in his secondary school.

Perhaps a word of caution needs to be injected here. In most fraternities the members of the undergraduate chapter are the sole judge of future members. They may be laboring under quota restrictions, necessity of diversified pledging, or under other conditions which make it difficult for them to accept or even seriously consider an alumnus recommendation. It may be, too, that because of very pleasant relations this alumnus ¡ has enjoyed with the youth or his parents, he will be blind to some weak spots in the young man which would be obvious immediately to those who did not know him so well. This is particularly likely to be true when we are recommending a relative or lifelong friend.

We are not going to be successful in getting the chapter to pledge every man we recommend but our failures should not deter us from continuing to suggest the names of outstanding candidates for ~e~­ bership in our chapter as we learn of such mdividuals.

3. Faithfulness in attending alumni affairs sporvsored by the undergraduates will give the chapter encouragement in pLanning more activities of this Teind.

31

The most pathetic situation that can occur in alumni-chapter relationships is for the undergraduate chapter to plan an alumni dinner, smoker or meeting; send out hundreds of announcements and perhaps call or have the pledges call all local alumni, prepare for a good group of alumni-and have a group of five or six alumni show up!

Is that other meeting really so important that you must miss the chapter party? Is the weather really too bad? Is the television offering really good enough to keep you at home? Must you have assurance that a brother from your own era will be present before you go? Of course, there will be times when it is quite inconvenient if not impossible to attend a function at the chapter house but if you are really a loyal alumnus you will be sure there is a justifiable reason, not a mere alibi for your absence.

4. A loyal alumnus will keep informed concerning chapter activities and will also keep the chapter informed of his current address. and activities.

Take a few minutes' time to read the chapter bulletin or newsletter which came in this morning's mail. If you've moved, let the chapter know where you are. If you have received an honor, promotion, or recognition let the chapter have this item for its next newsletter. And, incidentally, apart from your other financial gifts, once in a while send the chapter a dollar bill to help publish the alumni newsletter.

5. By giving some persO'YIJlll service to the chapter you will really be expressing your loy.a lty to the chapter.

Have you thought you were too busy to serve as a chapter adviser, member of a chapter house corporation, alumni association officer, trustee, or committee member? Do the brothers upon whom you are depending to assist the chapter have more time than you? The willingness to give something of ourselves--our time, our thought, our effort, our energy-is the supreme test of loyalty and incidentally the greatest source of satisfaction in fraternity life.

6. An annt~;al contribution to meet the physical needs of his chapter classifies one as an interested and helping chapter alumnus.

Every chapter always has pressing physical needs, ranging from a new living room rug to a new chapter house. There are few fraternity alumni who cannot afford an annual contribution to their chapter to help meet its physical needs. Except for chapter house campaigns, such annual gifts need not be large but if every alumnus will give something, all the needs of the chapter will be met. And it is amazing how a small annual contribution will increase your interest in the affairs of the chapter.

7. The degree of patience and understanding shown in working with an undergrad'U;ate chapter may be the best measure of one's real devotion to his chapter.

Our undergraduate chapters are manned by immature and inexperienced young men. They are go32

ing to make mistakes some of which will seem completely unreasonable to men of more mature judgment. If our chapters are to be laboratories of learning we must exercise extreme patience in dealing with the chapter leaders, always trying to eliminate the needless and costly errors without destroying the value of self-government and the functioning of the learning process.

8. Many alumni can demonstrate their loyalty by giving the chapter the benefit of their skills or interests.

Most alumni have one or more skills in which they are proficient. Many times such skills can be of great value to the chapter. A professional cartoonist drew up an original menu for his chapter.

A record hobbiest collected all the records made by the alumni of his fraternity and presented them to the fraternity. Authors present autographed copies of their books for the chapter library. Sports specialists assist the chapter intramural teams. Subject matter specialists help in the chapter study table programs. Auditors can help supervise the chapter finances.

9. By active participation in and support of an alumni interfraternity council on his campus, the alumnus will strengthen his own chapter.

A comparatively recent movement in the fraternity world which deserves the support of all loyal fraternity men is that of an alumni interfraternity council on each campus, alumni representatives of all the fraternities represented on that campus who meet with the undergraduate councils and assist the co-operative efforts of the undergraduates in developing local fraternity strength.

10. In many ways the most important help any alumnus can give to his chapter is the assistance¡ he gives the institution to which the chapter owes its existence.

Actually the base line of the Delta should be a double line representing both the undergraduate chapter and its host institution. The two cannot be separated. As the college or university of which the chapter is a part progresses, so can the chapter move forward. As the institution deteriorates, it becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain a satisfactory chapter. No chapter can be stronger than the college or university with which it is affiliated.

Therefore, it follows that every chapter alumnus has an obligation of doing everything within his power to assist his alma mater in every way in which his assistance is needed: to direct outstanding students to its campus, to contribute annually to his college, to remember it in his estate planning and to get others to do the same, to serve it and its alumni organization in any way possible, and to boost it in his every word and deed. In so doing, he is not only aiding his alma mater, he is also contributing to the strengthening of his own chapter, and as each chapter of his fraternity becomes stronger, the entire fraternity progresses and that pin which he wears so proudly becomes far more meaningful.

THE TRIAD

ACACIANS ACTIVE IN BIG N. I. C. LOS ANGELES CONVENTION Since its inception 52 years ago Acacia has been an integral part of the National Interfraternity Conference. So it was in Los Angeles recently when this body met in annual convention at the Ambassador Hotel. Executive Secretary Roy C. Clark, now president of the Executive Secretaries Association conducted the affairs of his organization. National Vice President Harvey R. Amos, a Southern California resident, served as one of the hosts to the convention. More particularly he and Mrs. Amos were host and hostess for guests Senator and Mrs. Barry Goldwater and their two daughters.

In the House of Delegates the Acacia delegates pressed for expanding a proposed national public r elations program to aid in improving the public image of the American college fraternity institution.

The proposals were adopted resulting in N.I.C. now having a professional consultant on its staff and a prog'ram that can be effectively implemented. On Acacia's suggestion the House adopted a resolution endorsing and encouraging the fraternities in California in their all-out fight in that state to protect the Greek organizations now under fire by the Board of Regents of the University of California.

Acacia was also well represented in the Awards department of the convention. For its outstanding organization and accomplishments the I.F.C. of the University of Arizona won the Grand Trophy. Immediate runner-up was the I.F.C. of Oklahoma State University at Stillwater. President of that body is Acacian Bill Adams, who accepted the Oklahoma State University I.F.C. wins runner-up award for most outstanding on campuses with 20 or more I.F.C . members. Here, National Interfraternity Conference Chairman Roland Maxwell presents plaque to I.F.C . president, Acacian Bill Adams.

Adams, incidentally is the second Acacian in three years to serve as I.F.C. president on the O.S.U. campus. Field Secretary Vernon Garrison formerly held that post. The awards were won in the division with 20 or more members.

At the banquet, climaxing the three day conclave, Senator Goldwater was brilliant in his praise of the college fraternity institution. He pointed out that fraternities continue to provide the nucleus of young' leadffi's necessary for the preservation of America's future. He called attention to the fact that more than 90 % of those listed in Who's Who are fraternity people. On the other hand it is practically impossible to find fraternity people listed on the crime rolls.

Goldwater charged that colleges which exclude social fraternities from their campuses are fostering growth of left-wing philosophies which are the antithesis of democracy. He identified strongly fraternities as organizations which uphold the concepts of democracy with young able guardians of the nation's political future. Conversely, he charged "where fraternities are not allowed, communism flourishes." He singled out Harvard University as an example of a " seat of learning" which as a nonfraternity institution per mits communist and socialist philosophies to breed a faithless generation.

"Young men with a faith are more useful than older experienced men without that faith," he said. "We look more and mor e to fraternities to provide our future with faithful leadership." Senator Goldwater, a Sigma Chi, shared the banquet rostrum with U .C.L.A. Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, Beta Theta Pi, who reminded delegates that their freedom of selection of members is a tremendous asset when competing w ith dormitories throughout the country.

Chairman Maxwell, Phi Kappa Tau, relinquished his term of offic e t o newly elected Joel W. Reynolds, of Boston, Delta Tau Delta, for the ensuing year.

A concluding highlight of the meeting was the (Continued on page 39) 33

ACACIA SALUTES THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA The Arizona chapter of Acacia was installed on December 17, 1950. A local group which petitioned Acacia for a charter had been formed on November 5, 1949. This fledgling chapter has grown to a position of outstanding leadership among the University of Arizona fraternities. In the Spring, 1959, Acacia won the Scholarship Trophy among the twenty-six national fraternity chapters on the University of Arizona campus. Acacia has fumished several outstanding leaders to the University of Arizona Interfraternity Council. In fact, an Acacian, is the only man to be elected for a third term in the I. F. C. Executive Council.

In this, its Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Year, the 34

University of Arizona is composed of ten colleges, four schools, and fifty-two departments, and includes also twenty-two divisions of research and extension. The bachelor's degree is offered in one hundred and twenty-six fields, the master's degree in fifty-three and the doctor's degree in twentyseven. The resident enrollment in the first semester of 1959 was 11,277.

The campus is located in the residential district of the historic city of Tucson, which was founded in 1776 as a Spanish presidio and has known allegiance to four flags: Spain, Mexico, the Confederacy and the United States. The present city is a modern metropolic with a population of 220,000.

The altitude of 2,400 feet, the dryness, and the sunshine unite to provide one of the most healthful climates in the world.

The University Library contains more than 450,000 volumes. The College of Engineering operates one of the two largest atomic reactors on any campus in the country. Kitt Peak, forty miles southwest of the University, has been selected as the site for the National Observatory. Data processing facilities for the observatory are presently under construction on the University campus.

Twenty-six national social fraternities have chartered groups at Arizona. The Arizona Interfraternity Council is nationally known for its efficient program of service. In 1956 they were named runner-up by the National Interfraternity Conference in the annual competition to select the most outstanding I. F. C. In 1959, at the Fiftieth Anniversary Conference the N. I. C. selected the University of Arizona I. F. C. as first in the nation among major colleges and universities. The program which brought this distinction about includes service to member chapters, the University, the community and to fraternity ideals. One of the most noteworthy programs is the Fraternity Row Housing Plan. This ambitious undertaking' provides twelve new fraternity houses at a cost of two and one-half million dollars. Funds are being furnished through a Federal Housing loan made by the Board of Regents, which enables the chapters to purchase the properties over a for-tyyear period at three and one-eighth percent interest.

An excellent highway leads in just over one hour to the cool pine forest of the Coronado National Park in the Santa Catalina mountains at an altitude of 9,000 feet, and another leads to Nogales, in Old Mexico, seventy miles to the south.

Steeped in the traditions of the Old West, the University is vigorously pursuing the knowledge necessary to solve the problems of the future. The motto of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Celebration might well be that suggested by Professor Arthur Beattie, "Building a better Arizona for tomorrow, and a better tomorrow for Arizona."

(EDITOR's NoTE: The Arizona pTogram for solving present cLay needs for student housing both for dormitories and fraternities is no Longer news, but a reality. The program instituted there could well be the subject of study for other schools to help solve student housing and attitude problems. The Arizona p1'og11am was conceived to a large degree because the school administrative officials recognized the important part that fratemities oan play in the campus scene with the proper guidance.

Credit for this development is not due to one indivUlual. Dr. Darold L. Shutt, Fr,a temity Adviser, along with the University President and other university officials, the Board of Regents and the State Legislature all have provided a climate which has been one of 1'ecognition of the fact that both fraternity and independent students make a positive contribution to university culture.

The University of Arizona officials can take great pride in the fract that their Interfraternity Council for two years in succession has been the recipient of recognition by the National Interfraternity Conference culminating in the First Place Award in the United States and CanacLa at the 1960 session.)

ILLINOIS GOLDEN JUBILEE HONORS AN .A CACIAN AS CO-FOUNDER OF HOMECOMING

CO-FOUNDER 'OF HOMECOMING, the late W. Elmer Ekblaw.

Two fraternity men some fifty years ago founded Homecoming which throughout the years has been a great asset to about every university campus. In 1910, these two student leaders had the foresight to find a way to tie the school spirit and loyalty to the alumnus after graduation.

This year the University of Illinois celebrated the Golden Jubilee Homecoming with some 71,000 people in attendance by honoring an Acacian, the late W. Elmer Ekblaw and C. F. (Dab) Williams, an outstanding member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, as the two Co-Founders of Homecoming.

The following story is related by C. F. (Dab) Williams telling of their great contribution: "The first college Homecoming was conceived at the University of Illinois in the fall of 1909, but the count-down for what proved to be a successful launching didn't come until October 15 of the following year.

"The late W. Elmer Ekblaw '10, A.M. '12, member of Acacia, editor of the Daily Illini, and one of the most forceful undergraduates in the University, and I were members of Shield and Trident, a senior honorary society. We met frequently in the office of the Illini to discuss policies of the publication, campus politics, and, from an undergraduate viewpoint, the destiny of the University which we loved so well. We wanted to do something constructive for Illinois. We considered this, that, and the other thing, but got nowhere in particular, fast.

"At long last, the idea of a super reunion began to evolve in our minds. On the way from the Illini office to our respective campus homes, we sat down one evening on the YMCA steps for further discussion. Why not a homecoming for alumni and their friends, something like the old New England home36

comings, one of us suggested. It was a nostalgic approach. It fired us with the confidence and enthusiasm of youthful dreamers.

"After further discussion and consideration, we presented the Homecoming idea to Shield and Trident, and later to Phoenix, the other senior society, both of which enthusiastically voted to support the project. Ekblaw and I called upon President Edmund James and Dean Thomas Arkle Clark, who also were convinced that a bang-up Homecoming would rekindle loyalty and interest among alumni and would create favorable publicity generally. Dr. James and Dean Clark voiced their whole-hearted approval.

"The embryonic homecoming idea although planted by me would not have developed nor matured into successful and enduring fruition were it not for Walter Ekblaw. He worked out the details and was responsible for the success of the first Homecoming. He took a leading part in the Homecoming programs for many years."

Continuing our fraternity motto of "Human Service" Brother Ekblaw went on to become National President of Acacia between 1918-1919.

Another chapter can go down in history denoting the interest and loyalty fraternity men have for their alma mater and their willingness to further it with everlasting traditions. Fraternities must live on and must have proper guidance and support from both alumni and school administrators if we are to maintain the American way of life on our campuses in the future. What can be more important than having the loyalty and interest to further our universities in the graduates and leaders of tomorrow?

TEXAS CHAPTER'S PLAN TO SOLVE IT'S HOUSING PROBLEM

By Jerry Lowe As the universities of the country have increasing housing problems, so do the fraternities. The problem for the fraternities is not merely one of supplying basic necessary facilities for an increasing number of students. Fraternities are also concerned with offering luxuries such as air-conditioning and swimming pools in order to have an impressive showplace during rush week and for parties. Rush has become more than just an analysis of who has what philosophy and what type of men.

Today's rushee perhaps gives the physical plant more weight as a factor of desirability than his counterpart of the past.

Realizing the forthcoming housing problem, the Texas Chapter of Acacia began a long-range plan in 1951 to acquire a modern house. Largely through the efforts of Brother Frank M. Holloway, Past National Treasurer, property was purchased near the campus with accommodations for 15 men. Since that time improvements have been made and surrounding property has been purchased so that there are now living facilities for 35 men and a large, paved parking lot with a total value in its present form of over $51,000.

In 1958 the Acacia Educational Foundation of Texas Inc. was founded primarily for the purpose of establishing scholarships for Masons, sons of Masons, members of Acacia, and others who can prove they are deserving, on the basis of previous scholarship and need. Donations to this fund are tax exempt. Should the need arise the building coporation could borrow money from the scholarship foundation and the foundation could use the interest payments received to support its scholarship payments, according to Brother Oliver Bruck, Secretary-Treasurer of the Educational Foundation.

Winston Harwood Associates, a professional fund raising organization, was contracted in 1959 to stage a campaign to obtain contributions to the educational foundation. By means of several direct mail pieces which were sent to alums and prominent Masons, fund raising dinners, and personal contacts $77,000 was pledged.

The letters were of a straightforward nature, explaining the need for a new house and why the facilities were inadequate for the continuation of a chapter of quality. The dinners were held in key cities where groups of about 20 alums could be 38

assembled at prestige restaurants. After dinner a report on chapter activities by two of the officers of the active chapter preceded a speech in which Mr. Harwood outlined the future needs of the chapter and how the fund raising campaign would be organized. The tax exempt feature of the Educational Foundation was stressed at every opportunity. Each of the men at the dinner was given a pledge card and a list of four or five other Acacians in the area whom he should contact to encourage them to contribute. Pledges payable on any basis from immediately, to monthly over a five year period were requested. The men who attended these dinners were the ones who were most interested and most likely to contribute. These were the leaders and through their encouragement the followers contributed too. In addition to after dinner persuasion the most wealthy alums were visited by members of the active chapter, other alums and Mr. Harwood. Even -though some of the brothers of the active chapter lost some sleep and had to miss some classes to travel to the dinners and other meetings it was considered worth-while since this phase of the campaign was the most successful.

The campaign did net funds that the chapter did not previously have. It is the opinion of the Texas Chapter, however, that a continuing alumni relations program would be more effective than a short fund raising campaign. Such a program would give the alums more of a feeling of oneness with the chapter and it would not seem that the only time the active chapter thinks of the alumni group is when they need money Brothers Wayne Bowman, Marvin Brown, Malvern Marks, Jack Goodman, William Clark, William Cotulla, and William Atkinson, the present board of directors of the building corporation, gave the approval last year for Brothers Jack Goodman and Jay Barnes to have their architectural firm proceed with the drawing of the plans for the proposed house. In order to facilitate a commercial loan the design is such that the dormitory wing, which will house 37 men, could be operated by a private concern. According to Jay Barnes horizontal cedar siding and fieldstone (both are inexpensive building materials in Texas) will be features of both the interior and exterior. The 35-by-71 living room area can be separated into three rooms by use of Modernfold doors. The architects paid close attention to making the kitchen area with measurements of 34%-by-23, a practical place for Tempe Bryan, (our cook for the last 13 years, who gains at least a dozen inches around the middle each year) to work. The house will cost between $150,000 and $165,000. With the new building the estimated gross annual income is $60,000 and the gross annual expense about $31,400 leaving an expected net annual income of $29,000.

Couldn't your chapter put on a long range, organized program to solve the various aspects of its housing problems as the Texas Chapter has?

FRATERNITIES HELP I NTERNATIONAL RELATIONS This past October 16, the Indiana Chapter opened its doors to the 700 foreign students enrolled in the University. About 500 attended the second annual Acacia Intemational Brotherhood Coffee Hour.

Indiana's interest in international relations began several years ago when Brother Don Gentry invited a group of foreign students to dinner on various nights. After dinner the brothers all would gather in the living room as our guest would give an informal lecture on his home country. By the end of the first semester we had gained an almost first hand know ledge of Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Germany, Brazil, and many of the new African States.

The second semester of that year one of the men who had given us an after dinner talk was having difficulty finding a place to live, so the chapter invited him to live in the house. During the semester he became very close to the men in the house, and enthusiastic, unanimous support was given to the motion to initiate him. Thus on October 18, 1959, Brother Sher Afredi from Afghanistan joined the r anks of the Indiana Chapter.

The Acacia Intemational Brotherhood Coffee Hour is thus a recent external manifestation of an intemal situation which had been growing for several years. Each year invitations are sent to all the foreign students on campus inviting them to attend.

We also ask a sorority to co-sponsor the open house. Men and women who have no connections in the United States other than their own small groups and the formal ties with the University come and for a few hours forget the loneliness of being in a foreign country. They talk mostly about their own countries, differences in customs, and Flags of most of the nations represented on campus decorate the entire front of the house.

problems they faced when entering our society. We try to refrain from asking the seemingly inevitable question, "How do you like the United States?" Of course they all "like" it.

In today's world situation, we have seen that the answer to our problems is not in giving away money. The Communists have been successful because they have been offering more substantial and tangible items such as personal aid, food, and trade.

When personal contacts are involved, friendship developes. This is evident in the Fraternity System.

Although people develop likes and dislikes, they dot not have a deep personal attachment until they begin working and living together.

It is not our objective at Indiana to make the chapter a house of all foreign members or to make it a rule that all houses on our campus must pledge and initiate foreig'n students. Rather we wish to strengthen the ties of friendship between us and students of other countries. If we find men among the foreign student groups that we feel would be good Frate,m ity men, we are willing to ask them to become members. By providing the foreign student with personal ties in this country, he may develope a pro-United States attitude. These men would not be here if they could not afford it. It is, therefore, probable that they are the upper class and influential citizens of their respective countries. (One of our guests is now working for ¡ the Ministry of Law and is being strongly considered for high political office in Nepal.) By sending them home with the ideals of the American Fraternity System, we are doing a service that can not be done by millions of dollars in foreign aid.

This year we have extended our ideas to the other Fraternities on the Indiana University campus.

Brother Jerry Mayes, our IFC representative, has been made chairman of the new committee on international relations. P lans for the next semester include sponsoring a banquet for all foreign men and inviting them to live in the various fraternity houses during Greek Week to observe chapter operations first hand. Brother Afredi has been invited into chapter meetings of other Fraternities to discuss international relations with them. Brother Afredi has also been made an honorary member of the Inter-Fraternity Council and traveled to Los Angeles as IU's representative to the NIC to discuss the international idea.

We do not believe that this idea should be limited to the Indiana Chapter. Rather it should be picked up and carried by the other Fraternities at IU, Acacia Fraternity nationally, and finally the entire Greek System.

Music, the "Universal Language" is understood by all tongues.

KANSAS STATE CHAPTER ENTERTAINS RAY CONNIFF On the evening of Oct. 15 a coffee hour was held at the Chapter house for Ray Conniff and his Singers. The coffee was held after Mr. Conniff's magnificent Concert in Stereo held in the field house. Those present at the coffee were Mr. Conniff, his singers, orchestra members, sound and lighting technicians, and Acacia members and their dates. Coffee and doughnuts were served and the remainder of the evening was spent in engaging in light conversation. It was sincerely a great pleasure to host such a fine group of people. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great time.

PITTOCK

The past semester, our first, was prosperous one for the Arizona Chapter of Acacia. We started the semester off with reorganization of the chapter and pledged twenty-two men, fifteen of which came back this semester. During our first formal rush this fall we picked up sbc: men; and with hard work on the part of every member pledged eight more to bring the pledge-class to a total of fourteen men. Two men, Mel Chambers and Kit Strebe were initiated into active chapter.

Paul Slosser was elected V enerable Dean last semester along with Fred Erbe, Senior Dean; Hugh Pittack, Junior Dean; Gary Martin, Secretary; Jim Lumpkin, Treasurer; Dave Larson, House Manager; Mel Chambers, Rush Chairman; and Bob Kaster, IFC Representative. The Chapter also would like to give mention to Bill Riley and Hershel Pickett from the Kansas State WINTER, 196 1

Chapter, who have helped us very much this semester with our reorganization.

We have had two big social events this semester, our annual Christmas formal and the pledge beatnik party.

Our football game parties and social exchanges with sororities were also big successes.

Our well organized pledge class pulled a prank on the active chapter that will never be forgotten when they kidnapped Paul Slosser, Venerable Dean, and took him all the way to Los Angeles. They planned a party with the pledges of the Long Beach and UCLA Chapters which were big successes. The pledges really caught the actives by surprise.

The Arizona Chapter is being very active in sports this year with a budding football team and a professional looking basketball team.

Our Bowling team has taken our first sports trophy this year.

The chapter looks forward next to a $200,000 house which will be completed this summer, along with more success this semester and in the future.

ARKANSAS By

JARRELL TEAGUE

The Arkansas Chapter of Acacia· is, at the present, primarily interested in the development on the construction of a new house. The final blueprints have been completed, and we expect to begin construction in the very near future.

We are all anticipating the possibility of moving by next Fall.

Stuart Harris, from Stamps, Arkansas, was selected to be on the board to represent the University of Arkansas on the G.E. College Bowl. His being on G.E. College Bowl, which is a nation-wide telecast, was a great asset to this chapter.

The Arkansas Chapter recently won first place on the Homecoming House Decorations here at the University. We had a huge Razorback, dressed in a football uniform, leading a Mustang into Broyls' Glue Factory. (Broyles is head coach here at the University) The Mustang was 4J

symbolic of the S.M.U. Mustangs.

The Razorback was well over twenty feet high, and everything, including the factory and horse, was made entirely of napkins. Also we had a sign which read: "The Old Gray Mustang A'int What He Used To Be."

A first for Arka~sas Acacians on their homecoming house decorations.

Our annual Christmas Formal will be December 17 in the Ballroom of the Student Union.

Steve O'Kelley is the new Venerable Dean. Teddy Shannon is Senior Dean, Bruce Keene is Jw1ior Dean, Jack Geurin is Rush Chairman, David Hale is Chaplain, David Edwards is House Manager, and Jarrell Teague is Corresponding Secretary. Kennith Galloway has been elected Secretary, and Stuart Harris is the new Treasurer.

At Halloween the Chapter had a dance. The house was decorated with crepe paper, corn stalks, and jacko-lanterns. The boys and their dates came in costwnes. It developed into a wonderful party.

The Chapter recently had a hayride and dance at a lake near here.

One of our own bands, which is composed of boys in the house, furnished the music. They call themselves the " Classics".

CALIFORNIA By

RoGER KNACKE

Acacia had a very successful fall rush, pledging ten new men: Rich Collins, Terry Elliot, Quent Fabro, Ron Grand, Alan Hirasuna, Harlan King, Dick Kizlitsen, Stan Lake, Bob Moore, and Marty Seffens. On the weekend of September 24, Acacia welcomed three men into its brotherhood. They were David Short, Charles McGough, and Steve Meisenholder.

Acacia began the social calender under the leadership of Don Scott 42

with a Western Hoe-Down Party.

The house was changed into a hayloft and a westem band provided "stompin' music". Following was a Halloween Party and our now traditional Paris Sewer Party. This event has become one of the most talked about functions on campus.

The Dancing in a "sewer", the Paris Bistro, and the costumes provided the atmosphere for an always successful party.

Exchanges, "TGIF's", and an open house rounded out the social program. The open house was particularily valuable in introducing new rushees. We have also initiated a rushing program with the DeMoley Chapters throughout the state. Social events planned for the rest of the semester include a Christmas Party, our annual Parent's Banquet, and our annual Pledge-Active Day. Acacia made a fine scholarship showing last semester. Sixth place out of forty-eight fraternities earned us the William Zell Friedman Trophy for the most improved House on Campus.

As usual, Acacia is active in intramural athletics, participating in all sports. The football team has developed into a power to be reckoned with.

During All-University week-end we welcomed the brothers from UCLA chapter. Although Cal lost the game, we are always glad to see our friends from down South.

For the Cal-Stanford G am e , Acacia is sponsoring lovely Geri Cytron in the Big Game Queen contest. Geri is an AE<I> and has appeared in several movies and on television. The brothers are sure that the judges will be captivated

by Geri's charms.

In a special election the chapter elected Howard Weinberger-Venerable Dean, Ray Wickman-Senior Dean, Ed Cerwinsky-Secretary, and Charles Weinberger-Treasurer.

New pledges for 1960 are headed

by President Don Kluttz, with Les Copeland, Vern Foster, Fred Rogge, Jim Shahidi, Kim Schaberg, Larry Smithson, and Bob Wiley rounding out the class. This year's pledgemaster is Tom Seavey.

Central Missouri State Chapter of Acacia moved into their new 18room house at 317 Anderson Street on September 23rd, with meal serv-

ice started October 3. Ken Lerbs is the new Senior Steward and Marion Stump is Junior Steward, with Bob Corder being the other steward.

Ken Lerbs was initiated September 24.

Still young but moving into better housing; Central Missouri State Chapter is able to accommodate more members in this house.

On September 10, the CMS Acacians held an all-school watermelon feed, free to everyone. We had over 4700 pounds of watermelons, with over 1200 people in attendance.

Some melons were given to local rest homes, the radio station, and to all the other fraternity houses¡ on campus. The college included this function as a regular part of the annual Freshman Days' (Daze) Program. The expense was partly defrayed by alwnni contributions.

Watermelons by the-(you name it). Central Missouri State Acacians preparing for their all campus melon feed sponsored by Acacia.

The fourth annual Pajama Festival was sponsored on October 1, with David Bedwell's band providing the music. Games, dancing, a cake walk, and individual entertainment provided the spark of the evening.

Homecoming came on October 15 with second place in the house dec~ orations going to Acacia for their interpretation of "Dark at the Top of the Stairs." This year's Acacia

float was "Carosel," in keeping with the theme of great plays.

The football team ended the season with a resounding victory, and great hopes for basketball are seen, as some good athletes were pledged.

Plans are being made for spring rush under the new Rush Chairman, Bob Corder.

Sales of the Acacia Activity Calendar for fall term were over 1200, a new record for number sold.

Five car-loads of Acacians and friends journeyed to Rolla on October 29, where they were guests of the Acacia Chapter there. The day's activities included seeing the house at Rolla, a tour of the campus, a cross-country track meet in the morning, and a football game in the afternoon.

An election night party was held on the evening of November 8 for Acacians and their dates.

Jim Blackwood has been chosen President of the CMSC Players, a campus drama organization. Jim had a role in the fall play, "The Detective Story."

November brought the graduation of Don Grainger, a past president of the CMS Chapter.

Marion Stump has been chosen IFC Vice-president, and Don Lerbs is the new representative.

Going further to the campus scene, Willie Gaither is now secretary of Mace and Torch, and he and Ray Caskey have been appointed to the Student Court.

Larry Busch, social chairman of the fraternity, is now co-chairman of the Dance and Decoration Committee of the College.

Don LaRue was co-chairman of the Freshman Talent Show this year.

COLORADO STATE By

JOHN HERZOG

Building up strength through heavier emphasis upon rushing has given the Colorado chapter 25 new pledges. These men, rumored to be the finest in many a year for Colacacia, have developed an esprit de corps that keeps active chapter hopping.

Having pledged 22 men during fall rush week Colacacia has managed to pick up three more in open rush with possibilities of at least six more as the semester draws on.

The pledges, led by president Tom Casten, consist of Jim Aichelman,

Four men were initiated in November. Proudly wearing the black and gold pin are Steve Burkholder, Jack Hopkins, Jim McCarron and Jerry Sparkman.

The pledges have not only demonstrated their h--- raising activities but have taken it into their own confines to study the problems the chapter faces. They snuck to the mountains where they held a pledge retreat and dissected the elements that constitute a fraternity.

The results of their pledge retreat coupled with the results of the retreat held by active chapter have enabled executive council to determine a specific course for the fraternity to follow this year.

Colorado Acacia is led by Jay Armstrong, pledge trainer is Har lan Lindberg, social chairman is Barney LeVeau, treasurer is Jim Muelheisen, secretary is Jim Cox and house manager is Mike Jacobs.

Bill Wilson, our chapter advisor, and Mrs. Mildred Glynn, our housemother for 11 years, have once again assumed the somewhat dubious task of guiding the chapter in both fair and foul weather. Their assistance is immeasurable and is greatly appreciated.

Speedy Garrison, reknown mentor of the Acacia cinder track, honored Colorado, but not the slopes as our last traveling secretary did, with his suggestions for improving the chapter. As always his visit and the visits of all national officers are greatly appreciated.

Colacacia is preparing for its 50th anniversary celebration which will be celebrated in February. This event will be marked by visits from national officers and get togethers with the alumni.

Following in the tradition set three years ago an Acacia Jeans Queen was chosen this year. The Queen is selected from all the girls who had Acacia painted on their levis during welcome week. The winner this year was Teddy Kelley, Alpha Chi Omega. She was given a yellow rose serenade by the chapter.

During the Homecoming celebration Colacacia constructed a nebbish which, although not officially commended, was praised far and wide as being the most sensible type of decoration. In certain quarters it was even considered to be cute.

The highlight of the fall social season was the annual Black and Gold Formal at Cherry Hills Country Cub in Denver. Joined by the chapters in For t Collins, Greeley and Laramie, Wyoming, Colorado wined and dined at the formal affair.

The queen this year was Michel Ann Strole, a paraplegic child from the Shriners Hospital in Salt Lake City. She was selected by CU Acacia to reign over the formal. Each campus selected an attendant for the queen who presented Michel Ann with a gift from each of their sororities. Colorado's representative was Bits McKennan, president of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.

Rocky Mountain Acacians are shown here serenading Michel Ann Strole, Queen of the Rocky Mountain Black and Gold Formal.

Colorado Acacia chapter is continuing this year its tradition of taking an active part in campus activities. With representatives in the class honoraries, student government, the student memorial center, the student newspaper and the various ROTC or ganizations Acacia is a leading frater nity in the Greek system.

COLORADO STATE U.

By MARCUS PRICE With the fall quarter under way, five new men ar e wearing the Acacia Triangle on the CSU campus.

After a highly successful weekend retreat high in the rockies at a Brother's cabin, the pledges were given a final touch of formal training and then started Help Week. As a result of our Help Week program, 43

the house is in top shape and good repair.

Hard work from last year and the past summer is yielding its dividends in the form of high scholarship, being fifth out of the 15 fraternities on campus. Spearheading the drive for grades were Dal Hedlund, VD, and Marcus Price, who were both awarded scholarship certificates from IFC. In addition to this, Price has recently been elected to membership in Phi Kappa Phi, National Scholastic Honorary.

An active summer rush program and a busy fall have produced an enthusiastic 24 man pledge class.

With new methods of pledge training and many new ideas, this class shows much for the future of the chapter.

The year ahead is full of promising activities for our chapter as we have scheduled a full and balanced program. With the creation of a new office for our chapter, that of Secretary of Public Attitudes, we have been working with a local hospital in the rehabilitation of some of the patients, and have just recently taken an active part in the United Fund Campaign in the local community. This new officer, Phil Gibson, will aid us greatly in our relations with Alums, local Masons, and other town groups.

To start the year socially, a new idea was tried and was such a success that we have decided to incorporate it as a chapter tradition. This was a breakfast dance with the Kappa Deltas following the PledgeActive football game (which, incidently the actives won 26-0). In addition to dancing, games and singing added to the enjoyment of the groups. This idea seems to have caught on and several other campus organizations are planning similar affairs.

The pledges, off to a good start, presented a Zombie Jamboree, fall costume dance. With costumes ranging from an Ancient Mystic to a space girl, this gala affair was enjoyed by many of the brothers and got the pledges off on the right foot.

Several stag and function sneaks have also kept the chapter on its toes, the latest being a dinner and dance after the pledges tried to get away with the Kappa Kappa Gamma pledges.

In addition to the already full schedule, the men of Acacia at CSU found the energy to build a winning house decoration for Homecoming.

In spite of the bad weather condi44

tions and spending much time helping the Pi Phis (who also won first in their division!) , we completed the float and collected the trophy in time to present it to Field Secretary Speedy Garrison on his fall visit.

Heading up the decoration effort for another year was Don Shepherd.

Off to a fast start in sports this fall, Acacia sportsters slowed down at the wrong time. Dropping its last two cageball games eliminated Acacia from the finals. Football presented an exciting season as the passing arm of Ed Poser took us to the all-fraternity playoffs. In our last game the team was edged out in a hard fought contest.

In the way of campus activities, this part of our lives has not been forgotten either. The All-school Leadership Conference for this fall was headed by an Acacian. Greek Week found many of our men participating actively in the program either as panel leaders or in the Workshop sessions.

The highlight of the fall program was the Black and Gold Formal, hosted by the Colorado Chapter and attended by all members of the Rocky Mountain Acacia Conference. This traditional dinner-dance, held at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, was a bigger success than ever and all present had a tremendous time. Hats off to the Colorado Chapter!

With the RMAC football games and party, the social and sports season came to an end, and all settled down to get ready for finals in anticipation of another scholarship award.

CORNELL By

ROBERT PFAHL,

JR.

The Cornell Chapter started the school year by initiating ten new brothers. Doc Bradley was our guest during initiation and gave an inspiring address to the new brothers.

During help week the pledges laid a new back sidewalk and extensively remodelled the third floor. We pledged two sophomores, Roger Corn and Deane Ellsworth. New officers elected this fall were Junior Dean, Richard Cherry; Senior Steward, Edward Engel; Junior Steward, Douglas Eberhart; Scholarship Chairman, John Ahlfeld; and Chaplain, Franklin Menkin.

We have had a busy social program this fall. We held a very successful Tea for the Freshman Girls.

Cornell Acacians see mingly have foun d the solution to house cleaning . How about that, Pledges?

We also had a smoker for the Masons and DeMoley of Ithaca. For homecoming, following the football game with Harvard, we had a buffet dinner and a dance at the house.

Fall weekend featured Leroy Holmes, Duke Ellington and Dakota Staton. During the weekend of festivities the house presented the Arthur Lee Thompson Memorial Scholarship to Richard Cherry.

We have also been active in scholastics and activities. Walt Deitrich was elected to Pi Tau Sigma, National Mechanical Engineering Honorary. Walt, a fifth-year mechanical engineer, is an instructor in the Department of Machine Design this year. Bob Pfahl, another fifth- year mechanical engineer, was elected Treasurer of Tau Beta Pi, National Engineering Honorary. The Cornell Engineer, of which Bob Franson is Editor-in-Chief, received the second place award from the Engineering College Magazine Association for a cover designed by Bob when he was Illustrations Editor of the magazine.

AI Male was elected Vice President and Doug Eberhart Secretary of Fraternities Cooperative Incorporated. Seven Cornell Acacians including Henry Romera, Director of the Big Red Band, appeared with the band during the half-time show of the New York Giants-Washington Redskins game at Yankee Stadium. The game was broadcast nationally by CBS Television.

An ex-Venerable Dean's Club has been formed this fall. Members of it are: Bob Shaw, Penn State; AI McDowell, Syracuse; and Bill Traub, Cornell. Bob and AI are both doing graduate work at Cornell. Several

ILLINOIS

By JURGEN SEYER This fall, the Acacia chapter at the University of Illinois realized a long sought goal. Despite the opposition of fate in the form of a two month strike, the new addition to the main house was nearly completed for the opening of school and was able to be used for formal rush.

Undoubtedly it aided the members tremendously during their rush efforts. Although meals of plaster dust, falling shingles, and various and sundry workmen scurrying about did not provide the most ideal rush environment, by working together we managed to pledge thirty-eight top men.

Anyone who came to our pledge dance, "Zombie Jamboree" would have been impressed by the decorations, the costumes, and the dance itself which all showed the talents of an excellent pledge class. The dance was so successful that the actives hardly grumbled while cleaning it up.

Among other interesting occurrences this fall, the dedication of the new house at Homecoming stands out. President Krieger, Secretary Clark, as well as several university deans were present for the ceremony and all in all the house had from 300 to 400 visitors that day, Of course, it goes without saying that the Dad's Day weekend was a lot of fun. The Acacians took their Dads to the football game, a Dolphin Swim Show, a Variety Show, and were in turn taken to the local pubs for "a couple." Despite freezing in our spacious open air dorm, the dads got to know each other and the men in the house and had a great time.

As can be seen from this brief resume of some of this falls activities, we plan to do bigger and better things here at Acacia at Illinois.

Our current scholarship ranking is 4th of 58, we won our league in IM basketball and baseball last year, as

Shown here is the Illinois Chapter house prior to making around a $200,000 addition.

On November 6, the chapter welcomed 12 men into its ranks. The new initiates are: Dick Boergert, Bob Forney, Larry Franks, Wayne Herman, Bill McMillen, and John Morgan. Also, Greg Myers, Jim Palmer, Jim Rice, Don Young, Bob Sena, and Terry Whitfield.

The chapter now totals 105 men, the first time it has gone over the 100 mark.

Several major improvements were made in the fraternity house last summer. The living room was furnished completely with new furniture and light fixtures, a library was built, and a basement room was converted into a laundry room. In addition, the parking lot was partially paved and tile was laid in the new recreation room.

This summer the Indiana Chapter was host for the National Conclave. During the week of August 28-September 1, the chapter entertained more than 200 delegates, officers, and alumni. The Indiana Acacians also came away with the Malcom A ward for being the most progressive, most improved chapter in the last two years.

At the start of the Fall semester, the chapter found itself fourth in scholarship among 30 fraternities for the preceding semester. The men of the Indiana Chapter had an overall average of 1.58 on a 3.00 system.

The chapter opened this semester's campus activities by backing pledge Craig Fulmer for President of the Freshman Class. Despite concentrated campaigning by the house, Craig was beaten by 13 votes out of a total of nearly 2500.

On the weekend of November 13, the fraternity collaborated with Gamma Phi Beta Sorority in building its booth, the "Hop-along Inn and Gamble Saloon," at the campuswide Fall Carnival.

In social events, the chapter sponsored its second annual International Brotherhood Tea, October 46

16, in collaboration with Alpha Chi Omega sorority. The open house and social hour was attended by 350 foreign students, and faculty and staff members.

The fraternity has given its traditional open houses on every Friday and Saturday nights and has begun study-date open houses on Wednesday nights. In addition, two "combo" dances, a Haloween party, and a picnic with Delta Delta Delta sorority have been held.

Plans for the rest of the semester include the Pledge Dance, December 3, and a Christmas party for underprivileged children with Delta Gamma sorority.

In athletics, the Indiana Chapter placed second in its intramural football league and the pledge class was champion of its league. Both teams beat their traditional rivals, the teams of neighboring Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.

IOWA

By WAYNE NOWLAN

The Iowa State Chapter had its annual work day at the Eastern Star Home in Boone. We washed windows for some very fine women.

It was great to get away from the books for a while. The women honored us with a delicious hearty evening meal for which we thanked them by singing fraternity and school songs. Before Christmas, Acacia has an exchange with the Pi Phi's on which we will drive over to Boone and serenade these people with Christmas Carols.

Iowa State Acacians putting our motto, "Human Service" into action are shown washing windows for the Eastern Star Home

in Boone.

Our chapter did quite well in intramurals this fall. We took the Class B Championship in volleyball and captured the Class B Championship in football. In football our team went on to defeat the MRA champions to claim the all-college title.

Homecoming found many alums and friends returning to the house.

Parent's Weekend at Iowa State was also Dad's Day here at the house.

A number of the Dads were here for the big game when Iowa State defeated Oklahoma for the first time in twenty-nine years. Guests at the open house luncheon numbered around 150. The sons took their dads bowling, to a show, or to a musical playing on campus and Sunday morning many families attended church -together.

For our annual fall party, our chapter followed the traditional theme "Nite on the Nile" with the entire dancing and recreational areas decorated to carry out the theme of the inside of an Egyptian tomb. There were some very original costumes adding to an outstanding function. We're looking forward to a Fireside Party, the¡ allcollege Christmas Ball, a Fred Waring Concert, the annual Christmas Festival of Music, and many other activities during the Christmas season.

KANSAS

By ToM BEISECKER

Thus far, this fall semester has been extremely busy for the members of the Kansas Chapter. Our chief task has been rushing, which has brought eight new faces to the house with prospects of a larger spring pledge class.

On the 21 of October, the entire chapter journeyed to Wichita to sing for the residents in the Kansas Masonic Home. This event, which has become an annual project, is always enjoyed by the chapter, and the residents in the home seem to enjoy our sour notes also.

This fall's social calendar has consisted of various hour dances and our barn party, Gingham and Jeans, For Gingham and Jeans, everyone dressed western style, and we all headed out to a cabin several miles from town. A good time was had by

all.

We might mention that since the deadline of the last ThiAD another

trophy has been added to our collection. It came from a division first in volleyball. This fall, however, our football team has had its problems, and we are now awaiting the basketball season.

Over the summer we received the welcome news that our scholarship improvement was the second greatest on the campus. Because of the scholastic ability of our fall pledge class, we feel confident that this improvement will continue and that our rank this year will be among the leaders.

KANSAS STATE

By Bun GINN The Kansas State Chapter started off the new Fall term by pledging ten new men. Since the beginning of the semester we have added seven more new men to our pledge class.

On June 3, 1960 at the Grand Lodge in Topeka, the Kansas and Kansas State Chapters held a formal initiation before many of the state's Masons. Don Douglas of our Chapter was initiated at this time.

On Oct. 2, 1960 eight new men were initiated into the Brotherhood of our Active Chapter.

New living room furniture greeted the eyes of all the guests who may have ventured into the Chapter house this Fall. The choice of furniture was excellent, the new devan, chairs, and tables and lamp fit in very well with the existing motif of the living room. The furniture is of contemporary styling which will far outlive the life of the pieces.

Acacia is well represented in extra-curricular activities this Fall and will continue to do so for the duration of the school year. We are

WINTER, 1961

planning to enter Y -Orpheum again this year with the Alpha Omega Chi Sorority. Y -Orpheum is an annual production, put on by the Greeks at K-State. It consists of several short plays which are judged by a panel of judges to ascertain the three top winners. Last year we placed second when we went in with Alpha Delta Pi sorority. This year we hope to take home the blue ribbon.

Scholarship is of prime concern this semester and the entire house is aiming for the top of the heap for house grade average.

Again, as last year, the Chapter got off on the right foot on the social scene. The highlight of this Fall's social activities was our Fall Formal which was held at the V.F.W. Hall in Manhattan. Keeping with tradition, the formal was a joint affair with the Phi Kappa Thetas. Preceding the formal we had a picnic out at Top-of-the-World and a touch football game between Acacia dates and Phi Kappa dates.

Other social activities included functions with the Chi Omegas, TriDelts, Alpha Delta Pi's, and Vanzile Hall. We started off the year with a dance in honor of our new pledges.

The pledges treated the Actives with a "Shipwreck Party," and skipped out on a pledge sneak leaving the Actives a dirty house to clean up.

On Dec. 3rd we are planning to have a Christmas Tea. This is something we have never tryed before.

Invitations have been sent to various faculty members and to all the alums. It is expected that there will be a big turn-out for this, and everyone will share in the Yuletide Spirit. A Christmas dance is also slated before Christmas Recess.

On Nov. 18th in the West Ball-

room of the Student Union there was a banquet in honor of "Tiny" Foltz. Tiny is an Alum of the Kansas State Chapter and presently a Professor in the Bacteriology Department. At the Banquet Tiny received from the National Fraternity the "Acacia Award of Merit," honoring him for the outstanding work he has done for the fraternity system here at K-State. Tiny is the faculty advisor for all the fraternal organizations here on the campus, and has held this position for a good many years. Tiny's work with the Inter-Fraternity Council has done much to improve the fraternity system here at K-State.

Dr. James McCain, president of the university, awarded the citation to Mr. Foltz.

LOUISIANA STATE By

JIM MOYERS

Following a successful rush week we find ourselves with the following pledges: Robert Dale Buford, Archie Gray Mann, Raymond Gray Sexton, Ernest Durham W oaten, Wesley Louis Williams, Joseph Wayne Price, Gary Lee Bailey, Leland S. Guy, Claude Lee Stephenson, George Donald Berger, William Edward Wynn, Robert Joseph Pasterio, Chester Reginald Dunbar, George Wayne Hutchinson, Shelby Lockhart, Harold W. Copeland, George Marcus Louden, Arthur Sumner Paine, Carl Louis Roehm, Desmond Burton Toler, Matthew Hensley Blunt, Richard Lamar Brooks, James Alfred Headrick, Michael Edward Kirby, Carl DeWitt Randall, Cleveland Hendicks Pardue, James Felton Taylor, and Henry Herbert Ricard.

The pledges wasted no time getting organized, stealing the silverware, kidnapping of Actives, getting into mishief in general (for all of which they paid dearly) as well as getting involved in useful projects which benefitted the chapter.

To date they've been exchanges with the pledges of Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, Alpha Chi Omega, and are planning more yet.

Ater a brief "Help Week", October 16th concluded the rites of initiation for Donald Lee Ostrander, Clark Dennis Smith, Jay Lloyd Detlefs, Rodney Scott McKelroy, Paul Wesley Holstead, and Richard Sumner Thomason. Brother Smith is the proud possessor of role number 100, another milestone in our yet young chapter.

L.S.U. Acacians find that with the female element present house work becomes fun!

Recently Dad HerÂŁ, the chapter advisor, donated to the chapter a new trophy case (sorely needed after last year's activities), and an Acacia banner which graces i;he West wall of our living room.

Another house addition is the new air conditioning unit for Mrs. Evangeline (Mom) Rickart, our housemother.

At L.S.U. Acacia has scored another first, snaring the first place trophy at the Homecoming Show, the first of its kind here at L.S.U. Brother Lyman Jones, was based on the Television show "You A r e There"', depicting four downcast South Carolina Gamecocks singing "You Gotta Have Heart!" and Acacia's own marching group, the Widgets doing a takeoff on the "Perishing Rifles", under the leadership of Commander Robert Monk, and P.R. Sponsor Ima Hogg, (Brother Jeff Fariss) . The Widgets almost literally had the governor, both ball teams (South Carolina and L .S.U.'s fighting Tigers), and an audience of nearly 1,000 rolling in the aisles.

Our social activities, under Brother Mike Orlesh, Junior Dean, leave little to be desired, with frolicing for all immediately before and after all of our home football games (played at night, by the way).

Plans are already in the making for our Christmas Party, and a chapter Retreat to Mississippi on December lOth. L.S.U. taking firsts again and shown here is the ir Heart Quartet which took first place in the homecoming shows.

Shortly after rush week, The parents of all the new pledges. The tea included an open house of the chapter, and an explanation of the purposes and functions of the existing Mothers' Club.

November 5th, the Alumni met and elected officers for the present year. They are Ralph Frank Braun, President, Isadore Price Keller, Vice-president, and Robert Arbuthnot Thompson, Secretary-treasurer.

MIAMI By

WILLIAM

Cox

Many interesting things have happened to us since we last wrote.

Last semester, many delightful hours were spent at social functions.

Among these were the Founders' Day Banquet, the annual Night on the Nile party and our yearly Sweetheart Formal. Pat Kennedy, who was crowned queen of the Sweetheart Formal, married Brother Dick Curp later in the year.

Rushing also occupied much of our time last semester. Following the pledging of nine men during Formal Rush in February, we pledged nine more in April and four this year. The pledges are Jim Keefer, Randy McMinn, Bob Barnhill, Denny N ordeman, Charley Berg, Fred Fett and Dan Zimmerman. Recently initiated were Bill Cox, Rick Hilgeman, Ron Sackheim, Brian Dudley, Stan Swart, Joe Tabor, Ken Holt, Jerry Reeves and Steve Sunderland.

From a meager thirteen men at the start of last year, the Miami Chapter has grown to its present size of twenty-seven men, thus winning for ourselves the Membership Improvement Award for Class Two Chapters at the past National Conclave. This increase also nesessitated

the purchase of a second house, which is located at 17 North Poplar.

This house will sleep twelve men, and is to be used for social functions.

Due to the absence of Alwn Dick Nadelin, who served as our cook while attending graduate school, we have hired Mrs. Katherine Rose.

She had been with Miami University for seventeen years, and at least one member has reported increased weight from her cooking.

Socially, we have been very busy this year. In addition to nwnerous Open Houses and theme parties, we have had such outstanding functions as a joint pledge-active-date Homecoming decorations party, a Dad's Day Banquet and a joint MiamiCincinnnatti Chapter attendance of the traditional Miami-Cincinnatti football game and victory dance.

Pinnings this year have been Brother Venerable Dean Dave Glasgow to Jackie Neill of Oxford and Brother Jim Wallace to Gloria Rutenschroer of Cincinnatti. In addition, Brother Secretary Bob Warshawsky became lovaliered to Sheila Weltman and Brother Steve Sunderland to Lynn Gieringer, both students here.

While we have not been too active athletically, this year, with an increased interest in basketball, we have entered the I-F Basketball Tournament. Earlier in the year, a two-on-two basketball tournament was held between the members of the chapter, with the winning team receiving a trophy.

Although we have accomplished much during the past year, we still have not attained our present goals.

We hope to be able to report a fifty man chapter and more adequate housing facilities at a later date.

MICHIGAN The Michigan Chapter got off to a good start this fall with the initiation of seven new men. Many of the new brothers have already put part of their pledge training to good use by assuming positions of responsibility in house offices and by becoming active in campus extracurricular activities. Not only do these new brothers have leadership qualities but they are strong academically as well. With some well placed prodding by the Senior Dean, Bob Schultz, they won the Sigma Chi trophy for the pledge class with the highest academic average-2.82!

THE TRIAD

Initiates this fall were: Robert Bristol, Douglas Carlisle, Malcolm Danforth, Gayle Helf, Thomas Reed, Robert Riedel, and Leslie Smith.

University-wise the fall rush was very disappointing. However we pledged four very fine men, all freshmen: Thomas Boynto, Michael Fischer, Michael Hornick, and Richard "Ram" Ramsdell. If t h e i r scholarship continues as it promises, they should take another first.

Once again Father's Weekend proved to be highly successful. Perhaps Michigan's thrilling 8-7 drubbing of Illinois added to the atmosphere. After a luxurious banquet served up by Lil, the best cook on campus, fathers and sons attended the concert presented by the combined Michigan and Illinois Glee Clubs. We hope that the five Illini glee clubbers who stayed here that weekend were not razzed too much -about the game.

This year promises to be very busy for the Acacia Dixieland Band.

Under the wise and masterful baton of "Mac" Danforth, the Band played for the Duke Pep Rally, and the Nixon campaign train. The Band is already booked to play at all of the Michigan hockey games this. Acacia literally resounds around campus this year.

This fall saw a valuable addition to the physical plant in the form of a new furnace. The third floor seems to be taking full advantage of it, keeping their rooms at a constant 107 degrees. Egad!

A few brothers are going far afield in their 1 a u d a b 1 e undertakings.

Brother Ed Plater is now studying German at the University of Berlin on a scholarship. We trust that he is doing his best to make Milwaukee jealous. "M.J.," Schneider is at the University of Memphis on a fine scholarship in biology next semester will see a sonowful decrease in the Chapter enrollment. Brothers Danforth, Fischer, Georger, and Helf will tour Europe with the University Symphony Band.

The Chapter elected the following officers: Venerable Dean, Dan Barr; Senior Dean, Bob Schultz; Junior Dean, Glen Velker; Secretary, Les Smith; Treasurer, Dennis Berry; and Co-Rush Chairmen, Phil Georger and Roger Miracle.

The Black and Gold Formal is planned for December 3. With the vigor and enthusiasm of the Chapter this year, it promises to be one of the very best.

WINTER, 1 961

MINNESOTA By

GEORGE CARLSON

Minnesota Acacians started out the fall quarter by initiating Dennis Palmer of Waterville and Bruce Kindseth of Kenyon. We have seven pledges so far this fall: Dick Berndt, Dave Blomberg, Ron Bloomquist, Dick Palecek, and Duane Walker, all of Minneapolis; Cliff Warren of Richfield, and Len Fogelson of Kenyon.

Homecoming was a big success at Acacia this fall. Kappa Alpha Theta sorority worked with us on the float which won second prize in the homecoming parade. After our 21-10 victory over Illinois we held our annual homecoming dance at the White Pine Inn in Bayport.

This quarter our pledges junked the traditional walkout for a workout. This was an attempt to replace the walkout with something constructive rather than destructive.

The pledges got the actives out of bed at 5:00 o'clock on a Saturday morning and assigned house improvements projects such as painting or washing walls to each active.

Our reward for a good days work was a party which the pledges had arranged with Kappa Delta sorority.

This workout was a great success both for the actives and pledges and for the chapter house.

Ten Iowa Acacians were up here for our game with Iowa on which we won a skin. After the game we buried the hatchet and got together for a make believe gambling party.

Intramural sports are slow to get started at Minnesota in the fall.

Football has been the only sport we have participated in this far in the quarter. We finished with at 6-2 record, losing in the finals of the fraternity class "B" league.

Our alumni are now conducting a fund drive so we can get started on the addition to the chapter house.

We are hoping that enough money can be raised to start construction in the near future.

.MISSOURI By

GARY WILLIAMS

As a wave of new enthusiasm over Mizzou's rampaging Tiger football team sweeps across the entire campus. ACACIA'S Missouri Chapter is not lagging behind in spirit.

A determined group of actives and pledges kicked off the 1960-61 school

year by pledging 11 promising men in formal rush week. With certain technicalities instituted in Missouri's 1960 rush rules, the smaller houses were all but crippled. ACACIA made by far the strongest showing of any house under 45 members.

On October 8 Charles Palmer was initiated into membership in the active chapter. Chuck served as pledge class president the second semester of last year.

Shortly after classes began we elected a completely new slate of officers for the first semester. Chosen by their brothers to serve the chapter were the following: Phil Maddox, Columbia, Missouri, V en e r a b 1e Dean; Olen Monsees, Smithton, Missouri, Senior Dean; Ken Wessel, Warrenton, Missouri, Junior Dean; AI Gates, California, Missouri, Rush Chairman; Jerry Butler, Caruthersville, Missouri, Secretary; Lowell Moore, Amity, Missouri, Treasurer; Jim Lukefahr, Burfordsville, Missouri, Housemanager; and Jack Long, Kansas City, Missouri, Scholarship Chairman.

An accelerated social program this year was highlighted by our third annual "Ozark Party," on October 29. With 125 bales of hay, corn stalks, and tree branches covering the living room, dining room, basement, and front porch, a convincing outdoor effect was created.

Costumes of a hillbilly nature were interesting and amusing, to say the least. Through the semester, we have also held several informal house parties with dancing to stereophonic records. Foremost of these informal gatherings was our homecoming dance following the climactic Missouri-Kansas game which ended the season. Our next major party is a Christmas semi-formal, scheduled December 10.

Missouri Acacians and dates having a real Ozark Party with 125 bales of hay, corn stalks, and tree bran.ches furnishing the atmosphere throughout their house.

Heading a list of noteworthy achievements by Missouri ACACIANS is that of Phil Maddox who recently took his first degree ~ Masonry. Phil is a member of Phi Mu Alpha, music honorary. Olen Monsees our new Pledge trainer, is now s'erving as secretary of Missouri's Agricultural Economic's club.

Since the close of the spring semester, 1960, five members of our alumni chapter have taken their nuptial vows. In Keytsville, Missouri John E. Rapp, '55, now an Economics instructor here at the University, said "I do" to Miss Audie Rudy last May in Calumet, Illinois. Kenneth A. Williams, '57, recently exchanged oaths with Miss Toni Browne, formerly a Chi Omega here. In September Harry Joe Rand, '57, was betrothed to Miss Diane Chenoweth, once a Missouri Alpha Gamma Delta.

Last year Harry was honored by Diane's sorority as they crowned him the "Alpha Gam Man"-king of their spring formal. Last but not least is Nick Holler, '58, who married Miss Carol Ferguson in Windsor, Missouri. Congrats and best wishes to all of these newlyweds!

MISSOURI MINES

By Wooo RUDOLPH The start of the new semester saw the pledging of fourteen new men. As a result of rush week and the summer rush program, the following men were pledged: William E. Burchill, Taylorville, Ill.; Richard H. Fore, Taylorville, Ill.; Everett R. Gass, Trenton, Mo.; Floyd A. Gonzalez, Kansas City, Mo.; Allen L. Hall, Webb City, Mo.; Bruce E. Koopman, Afton, Mo.; Victor R. Marshall, Popular Bluff, Mo.; Gerald K . Orrison, Kansas City, Mo.; Ronald M. Payne, Sikeston, Mo.; Ernest J . Phelan, Popular Bluff, Mo.; Norman M. Rauscher, Sarcoxie, Mo.; Leonard Roth, Belton, Mo.; Charles Thornton, Belton, Mo.; J. Douglas Told, Webb City, Mo. One of the first items of business that came up before the chapter at the beginning of this semester, was the election of some new officers to fill vacancies. The following men were elected: Wayne G. Benz, Maplewood, corresponding secretary; Hadley V. Stacey, Mexico rush chairman; John W. Rudolph, Amazonia, recording secretary, and Bill Huff, Webb City, Junior Dean.

so

Missouri School of Mines Acacians took first place with their homecoming decorations.

The week before classes began, this fall, saw many of the brothers back to prepare the house for the new school year. A great deal of work was accomplished that week, through the united effort of everyone here. During this time, the house was cleaned from basement to roof. The trim on the outside of the house was repainted, and the yard area was cared for. One great accomplishment achieved was the sanding, and refinishing of the hardwood floors in the living room and dining area, Also a new linoleum was laid in the kitchen.

Around campus, the name ACACIA and the names of many Acacians are becoming very prominent. Myron E. Grizio, is the president of the local chapter of the Society of American Military Engineers; Echol Cook is president of the local chapter of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. Echol is also a member of the Student Union Board. Edwin L. Crow is secretary of the local chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

John R. Childress, Gilbert McKean, and Echol E. Cook were chosen for Who's Who in American Colleges.

In the school paper, the Miner, there is a new article that is attracting a good deal of attention and is being widely read. It is entitled "Dear John". This article is a take-off on the "Dear Abby" columns. This weekly column is written by one of our brothers, John "Beast" Childress.

Our intramural sports teams are coming along fine. Football is over and basketball is well on its way.

Brother Ben Atwater captured the third place in the tennis singles matches.

Our first social outing of the season was held on the twenty fourth of September. This weekend, the Miner football team was playing Washington University in St. Louis.

A large group of us journeyed to the game (with dates of course).

After the game, we proceeded to the country lodge belonging to the parents of Venerable Dean McKean, which was located about 50 miles south of St. Louis. Plans had been to have a hay ride, but due to an excess of moisture in the air (rain), it was canceled. So the evening began with a weiner roast inside, and later on everyone gathered around in the living room of the lodge, and told stories and joined in a song fest. The songs ranged from traditional fraternity songs to good old Friday night college songs.

The weekend of October 15, provided the most enjoyable party weekend since becoming a chapter.

This was our Homecoming Weekend. To start the weekend off on the right foot, we won first place in the Homecoming decorations contest. The idea was obtained from an old issue of the Triad. The title of the decoration was the "MSM Museum of Extinct North American Animals."

At the half-time of the football game, the Inter-fraternity council sponsored a 400 yd. relay race. The teams consisted of four pledges from each fraternity on campus, dressed in pajamas. This is an annual affair for the school.

To be mailed soon to our alumni, and the other chapters, is our new chapter publication, ' ' Chan gin g Times At Missouri Mines." This is the first edition of the paper. Diligently working on the paper are the co-editors, Rich Agricola, and Wood Rudolph.

We were pleased to have many parents present at the house, October 29, for Parents' Day. A banquet was held for them. The Mothers' Club held a meeting that afternoon and elected officers for the coming year.

While we are on the subject of the Mothers' Club, we are very happy to say that they have provided us with four ritual robes. They also gave us four new fire extinguishers, three of the soda-acid type and C02 type for the kitchen.

In order to provide extra finances for the Pledge party coming up in the near future, the pledge class held a slave auction. In this, each pledge was auctioned off to the highest bidding active for a days work. This proved to be a very good means of obtaining money.

As the semester gets off to a good start, everything looks rosy and the future very bright.

NEBRASKA The four new brothers who gained the right to wear the jeweled pin this fall are Larry Cole, Dennis Siefford, Gary Bowen, and Bruce Williams. We also had a quite successful rush week getting six men and in open rush since we have brought the total up to eleven pledges.

Our new housemother, Mrs. Ann Armour is very well liked. This is her first year as a housemother.

We have had a tea and a surprise birthday party in her honor.

Our social calendar has been quite full this semester. We have had a smoker for the masters of the Lincoln Lodges and have attended smokers which the Masons and DeMolay have sponsored. Several of the brothers are working on their masonic degrees.

We had an exchange dance with Sigma Kappa and also played in the mixed volleyball games with Sigma Kappa. We were beat by the opponents but it was a lot of fun.

December 2 our annual Nite on the Nile party was held with Rodney Moore and Kathy Bell, Kappa Delta, winning the prize for the couple with the best costume.

Acacians have been active on campus this semester. Marvin Cox was elected president of the University of Nebraska Rifle Team. He and Mike Flannigan both received letter s fo r Rifle Team participation.

Mike Flannigan won the national championship for yachting in his class and went to the Olympic tryouts but didn't make it. Charles Peek is a member of the University Debate team and has been quite successful. Swede Radar, our V .D. was elected president of AlEE-IRE

WINTER, 1 961

(an electrical engineering society).

Bruce Williams was one of the few men elected to both the mechanical engineering honorary, liT~. and the All Engineering honorary, IT. Bart Bredenkamp is also a member of TIT~. Ronald Letson won the award for top salesman of all the engineering departments for subscriptions to the engineering magazine, "Blue Print". Swede Rader was top salesman in the EE department.

Acacia on the Nebraska campus is expanding. Our house is full and we rented an annex a block south of the chapter house for the overflow. We are now working toward filling it completely.

We are planning for our annual Orchad Lei Formal for April 22 and our Founders Day Banquet about April 8.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

By CHARLES ScHWAB Since school opened in September, New Hampshire Chapter has been surging forward with new ideas and enthusiasm. From a new coat of paint in our living room to having an Acacian elected, "Mayor of Durham," we feel that we have been highly successful.

Face lifting the house was our major project for the first few weeks of school. The project included painting the living room, foyer, entrance, and a number of rooms ; varnishing and rebuilding our staircase railing, and a new living room rug. The new rug was made possible by individual contribution from brothers, parents, and alumni. It is a beautiful rug of hotel quality, and at present is the pride of the house. In fact, we were so proud that we had an unprecedented, "Rug-Warming Tea," for new faculty members and housemothers.

Following the face lifting came our Freshmen Girls' Tea which

turned out to be a tremendous success.

Homecoming was next on the schedule, and we were honored with second place for our decorations.

Many long hours were spent on it, and we were very fortunate to have the fine Chairmanship of Mark Richmond.

Although we did not bring home any honors from fall sport intramurals, we had a good show of interest and participation.

Woodman's Weekend wound up with Acacia placing third. We felt that this was quite a victory, because we put our team together only a few hours before competition; we had absolutely no practice ; and we were competing against such teams as Alpha Gamma Rho and The Forestry and Wildlife Club.

However, our biggest victory came on November 4th. On that day, the student body elected our candidate to the office of, "Mayor of Durham".

Al Lawton, our chairman, begin work over a month before the actual campaign, and did an excellent job of planning and co-ordinating. Our candidate was, "The Duke of Durham," protrayed by Tony Marshall.

The theme hinged on cigarette and cigar advertisements. Mayorality is, no doubt, the biggest event on the U.N.H. campus and by winning, Acacia has gained much prestige.

Informal rushing has yielded six pledges. They are the experimental class for our revised pledge training program. The new program, drawn up by Neil Bryant, our newly elected Senior Dean, by coincidence, agrees almost point for point with the pledge training program suggested by Stan Shaw in the last issue of, "The Triad". So far , it is working extremely well, and we hope that we have found the answer to successful pledge training.

We now have a great start for the year, and ar e looking forward to an even greater future.

New Hampshire Acacians winning top campus honor, Mayor of Durham, proudly display the Mayor (on the right) with his campaigners.

OHIO

By CHRISTOPHER PowELL During summer and fall rush men were pledged: Jim Baker, Marion, Ohio; Rea Boone, Bellfontaine, Ohio; Tom Bourne, Columbus, Ohio ; Tom Eggers, Napoleon, Ohio; Dale Faulk, Cleveland Ohio; Dick Gale, Canal Winchester, Ohio; Dave Glotzbecker, E. Cleveland, Ohio; Steve Larrick, Columbus, Ohio; Jeff Luce, Columbus, Ohio; Ross Petteruti, Warwick, Rhode Island; Larry Reynolds, Newark, Ohio; W a 1 t Quellhorst, Eastlake, Ohio ; Dave Simons, Kinsman, Ohio; AI Toney, Racine, Ohio; Bob Van Skoy, Columbus, Ohio; Willy Venable, Madison, Ohio.

Keith Wagner, Cincinatti, Ohio, was initiated this fall.

Last May a forty man house was purchased. During the summer quarter, the men living in the house and in town cleaned up the place. Two weeks before school started, all the actives returned to work on the house.

The house is modem in decor.

In the hallways the walls are spatter-painted; the chad e 1i e r s have long white globes in a wire cage of colored glass. In the long room, joining the living room with the dining room, there is a full length, full heighth mural. The living room is bright yellow. The dining room is a whitened orange with gold ceiling and wall fixtures. There is a housemother's room, bathroom, powder room.

On the second floor there are ten study rooms designed for four men a piece. Luggage space and drawers are bu~lt in. Sleeping is dormitory style on the third floor.

In the basement there is a recreation room, rathskeller, restroom, and storage rooms. In the backyard there is a barbeque pit and concrete patio.

Saturday October 15, a costume halloween party was held at the house. Entrance was made through a basement window and down a slide borrowed from a nursery. With the basement in total darkness, the maze and tunnels that had been set up created the desired confusion.

To make things sloppy, everyone crawled through wet mac a ron i, waded through ice water, stared at a phospherescent mummy. Upstairs there was dancing to a three piece combo: organ, saxaphone, drums.

52

During intermission there were the usual games that never fail to elicit giggles, snickers, guffaws.

Ohio State halloween party furnishing lots of entertainment for all.

An election party was held at the house Saturday November 5. Everyone registered to vote upon entering the house. Three men were nominated: Rossini, Robin-the-redvested-Hood, Bull Shmit. A lively, noisy campaign ensued. The 11 piece band that was employed made dancing possible in every comer of the house.

Something new that has been a success this year. On the first and third Sundays of the month, the Wives and Mothers Club gives a dinner party at the house. We have many alums coming to these dinners.

Joe Dryer is having his name engraved on a plaque of being the outstanding pledge last year.

Dr. Daniel J. Whitacre '26 has been named director of the Student Health Service here at OSU.

brotherhood of the chapter. These men proved themselves very able men as pledges, showing great potential, so we are looking forward to their increased activity as actives.

This year's Nite on the Nile was an overwhelming success. One of the many ways in which this party was advertised was with the wearing the Marathon Shirt, as pictured.

This shirt was wom by a pledge twenty four hours a day, begining about a month from the date of the dance. Shown is pledge Ken Garrett from North Little Rock, Arkansas, as he gets a much-appreciated scrubbing of the shirt through the co-operation of Rosanne Lane, Alpha Chi Omega, and Kay Polcyn, Alpha Delta Pi. In addition to the Marathon Shirt, a baby obelisk appeared in the front yard several weeks before the party. This obelisk gradually grew until, at the time of the event, it towered over the house at the height of thirty three feet.

Many of the men also grew beards for this well-publicized dance. Within the house was located a tomb, oasis, and opium den, where most of the brothers seemed to spend the evening. Over-all, we feel that this year's Nite on the Nile was the biggest and best yet.

OKLAHOMA STATE

By C. J.

RoTHLISBERGER

The summer of active rush was concluded with the pledging of seventeen men during Rush Week.

Included during the summer was a combined rush parties held in Wichita, Kansas by the Wichita alums. Those chapters participating were Kansas State, Kansas University, and Oklahoma State. The co-operation of the Wichita Alumni Association was greatly appreciated by the chapter. This party with other state-wide parties all contributed to a successful summer rush.

On October 29 of this semester six men were brought into the

Oklahoma State pledge Ken Garrett is shown getting a much-appreciated scrubbing during their Nite on the Nile Shirt Marathon.

Along the social line, we recently newly formed Delta Upsilon chapter. held a Sweater party with the newly formed Delta Upsilon chapter.

This party was felt to be very sue-

THE TRIAD

cessful by both chapters. We think that this goes a long way in improving inter-fraternity relations.

At the first part of this semester we received the inter-fraternity softball trophy which was won at the end of the last semester. This feat was accomplished with much teamwork on the part of the players against extremely stiff opposition and the avid support of the rest of the chapter.

So far this semester we have reached the finals in touch-football and bowling, and at the present time we are in the middle of the basketball season.

During the Thanksgiving Holiday the National Interfraternity Council held a conference in Los Angeles.

At this time the Oklahoma State Inter-Fraternity Council was presented the honor of being the second best Inter Fraternity in the United States. This is of special interest to the men of the Oklahoma State Chapter, because Brother Bill Adams, pictured, is president of the organization. We are very proud of Bill for his intense activity in campus groups which furthers the name of Acacia as well as helping him.

We are well pleased with the progress which we have made so far this semester, and are looking forward to an exceptional year.

OREGON STATE By

.

CURT MmKELSEN

After a very extensive and successful Summer and Fall rush program, the Oregon State chapter pledged the following twenty- two men: Jim Brady, Mel Martin, Tom Balch, Jim Bartholomew, Bob Gordon, Jim Block, Pat Keeley, Roger Mink, Dick Marosok, Albert Kasahara, Dave Pace, Ken Pietsch, Les Shearer, David Phillips, Kent Cox, Bill Cockrell, Larry Boehms, Ed Hirte, Bill Stafford, Sam Poulos, Ernie Huyett, and Allan Anderson.

Fall term initiates include Jim Lasher, Paul Ingram, Bob Olson, Jim Kelley, Nigel Parkhurst, Allan Mathaney, Bob Marquardt, Phil Newman, Doug Hirte, and George Abed. This raises the number of actives to thirty-eight, while total chapter membership exceeds sixty.

The brothers wish to publicly thank Jim Fleming, our tireless house manager, for completely remodeling our bathroom. Jim returned to school a week early this Fall and devoted his full time and

WINnR, 1961

energy to this badly needed project.

This Term has been filled with as many social functions as we could crowd into our already busy schedule. Soon after the start of the term, we held a scavenger hunt exchange with Alpha Gamma Delta. A prize was given to the team who returned with the most unusual object. Most of the teams brought back unusual specimens, including a live goose, but nothing could top the winning team's entry with Aaron Thomas, varsity end for the Beaver football team. Not to be outdone, our pledge class soon held an exchange with the new pledges of Gamma Phi Beta. "Sleepy Time" was the theme of our Fall Pajama dance. In the opinion of many of the members, this was one of our better functions of the year. Homecoming Weekend was met with much enthusiasm. We teamed with Delta Gamma for the annual house sign competition. Although we did not win, everyone had a great time. The game found the Beavers pitted with our traditional rivals, the University of Oregon Ducks. At the end of the fourth quarter, the score was a disappointing 14-14. The Pledge walkout to the beach, numerous firesides and serenades rounded out the term.

Intramural sports were not neglected with our participation in football, and the league finals of volleyball.

Oregon State was happy to welcome Vernon (Speedy) Garrison, Field Secretary, to the chapter house. In addition to his regular work, Speedy was able to work in several dates with the traveling secretary for Alpha Delta Pi, who was visiting the campus the same week.

Active men on campus are plentiful in the Oregon State Chapter.

George Abed is serving in ASOSC Senate as Junior Class President.

He is also on the board of Directors of the Memorial Union. Del Remington, our Venerable Dean, is chairman of the Interfraternity Banquet this year. Outstanding freshmen R.O .T.C. students include Terry Freund, Dick Cushman, and Curt Mikkelsen. Joe Smith is the houses' representative to "Thanes," Sophomore men's service honorary.

Paul Ingram is a busy man this year, being recently elected President of the Men's Glee Club and Editor of the Colleges and Dean's section of our yearbook, The Beaver. Our rooks quickly entered activities, too. Roger Mink is manager of

the Rook Basketball team, while Dick Marosok made the varsity bowling team. Ed Hirte was narrowly beaten out of the finals for Freshman Class Treasurer. Wayne Roberts, living up to his reputation as a top social chairman, was elected "Diamond King" at the Alpha Delta Pi formal Ball. The Arnold Air Society gained another Acacian. Don Hoskins.

PENN STATE

By JERRY LOGUE Progress is the key word at the Penn State Chapter of ACACIA. Within two years a western wing will be added to the present house, and our house capacity will increase from 46 men to 55 men.

Our hopes for an enlarged chapter are substantiated by a very effective rushing program that has netted six new initiates and 12 new pledges.

Not to be outdone, our 'progressive' social program got off to a booming start this semester with our annual 'spelunking' party. About 40 couples wiggled and crawled through a local limestone cave to be greeted at the end by a roaring fire and a cheerful evening. The friendly handshake and informal chatter of Homecoming weekend presented us with a change of pace. A swinging combo provided the music for dancing and intermission was enlivened by house entertainment.

Junior prom weekend and our traditional hayride were next on the list, with about 60 couples enjoying a crisp fall evening. The first weekend of rush was greeted with a jazz combo and another 'moving' party. The chapter entered the varied activities of Greek Week and our quartet finished third in the sing contest. Several mixers and serenades have also accentuated our social program.

We finished fourth in scholarship out of 54 fraternities at Penn State, (second among non-professional fraternities), which simply proves that social life and scholarship DO mix.

We finished sixth in intramural competition, with surprise showings in bowling, horseshoes, and soccer pulling up our overall standing. In varsity sports brother Glenn Ream is holding down a starting position on the Penn State varsity soccer team. Glenn was also recently elected treasurer upon the resignation of George Machlan, who is recuperat53

ing from a summer operation.

In still other fields of progress our Alumni publication, The Ship's Log, was voted the outstanding chapter publication in ACACIA and was awarded the Kelly-Croyle award this summer.

Also outstanding is the individual pr ogress in campus activities. Acacians are well represented in activities such as honor societies, student councils, publications, and student government.

Those presently active in Hat societies (societies which recognize students for their conrtibution to extra curricular activities) are John Black, Parmi Nous (senior society) ; Edgar Grubb and Ronald Smith, Skull and Bones (senior society) ; John Witmer, Androcles (junior society) ; and Charles Jacques, Philip Steinhauer, and Jerry Logue, Blue Key (junior society).

Brother David Boland was recently elected president of the University Symphony and Lloyd McSparran is president of Phi Eta Sigma, freshmen men's honorary society. Brothers Logue and William Shenk were recently initiated into Omicron Delta Kappa, national men's leadership and scholarship society.

Our Homecoming celebration was not only a success socially, but also helped strengthen our alumni r elations. A buffet supper was served to the alums and their families after the football game between Penn State and Missouri. Squar e and Compass Association met following the meal and plans for financing the new addition were discussed. The chapter is now carrying on a monthly luncheon pr ogram for the local alumni, and from time to time various alums drop in for short visits.

The Penn State chapter would like to note with much regret the 54

death of William S. Dye, Jr., ACACIA national president from 1922 to 1929 and a tremendous contributor to the growth of ACACIA both nationally and locally.

PURDUE

By Bun ToERING At the end of Fall rush this year the pledge class consisted of nineteen men: Don Baer, Indianapolis, Ind. ; Bob Beckett Jr., Frankfort, Ind.; Larry Clapper, Park Ridge, Ill.; Allan Cochran, Indianapolis, Ind.; Phil Conely, Richmond, Ind.; Bill Disque, Alexandria, Ind. ; Rudy Knohl, Roselle, TIL; Carlos Odio, San Jose, Costa Rica ; Harry Weber, Sharon, Penn. ; Kent Meyer, Park Ridge, Ill.; Don Panek, Cleveland, Ohio; Ray Reusser, Elyria, Ohio; Dean Rimstidt, Dillsboro, Ind.; Gary Sabo, Elyria, Ohio; Jim Van Meter, Anderson, Ind.; Skip Waymire, Anderson, Ind.; Don Westergren, Chicago, Ill. ; Gordon Lawler, Anderson, Ind. ; Bob Cromwell, Richmond, Ind. On October ninth we welcomed 13 new brothers into the chapter.

The men proudly wearing their new pins are : Gene Barreau, Roy Coolman, Dave Bailey, Bob Bell, Bill Haines, Mel Hughes, Dave Pfendler, Dick Panek, Dave Thoma, Tom Smith, Ron Toyofuku, Howard White, Jack Wedgwood.

The big news at Purdue this fall was the dedication of our new chapter house. The ceremony was held October 29, on the day of Purdue's Hoemcoming. Br others, P r esident William E . Krieger, Executive Secretary Roy C. Clark, Assistant Secretary Robert E. Jepson, Tr easurer George F . Patterson, and Traveling Secretary Norman C. Saatjian were her e to r epresent the National Fraternity. Brother Keller Beeson was in charge of the program, while the

formal dedication was given by Brother Thomas J. Luke, Pastor of the First Trinity Methodist Church of Lafayette. At the closing of the ceremonies a portrait of Brother Willard A. Knapp was placed in the chapter's living room to acknowledge our appreciation for the work that he has done for the Purdue chapter of Acacia, and especially for the role he has played in the acquisition of our new chapter house.

Early this fall a reception for all new foreign students on campus was held by the chapter. This was the first time that any such event has been held at Purdue, and because of its success we feel that it will be made an annual event on our social calendar.

The chapter's basketball team has just finished a successful season, as they went undefeated to the league championship. We hope to do as well in the coming Inter-Fraternity league.

Several brothers have been very active in campus organizations.

Brothers Bill Davies, Art Stein, Larry Livingston, and Jim Ray have been chosen for Greek Week Committees. Brother Mike Long has received a staff position on the campus newspaper. Also, several of the brothers are pledging various campus honoraries, such as: Scabbard and Blade, Skull and Cresent, POMM, Alpha Zeta, Sigma Delta Chi, and Alpha Pi Mu. Among the many social events planned for the near future are the annual winter formal, a Christmas party for underprivileged children, a costume party, and A Night on the Nile Party.

RENSSELAER Converging on Rensselaer's chapter this fall, delegations from Vassar, Skidmore, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Bennington, and other such Edens of Love resolved by a resounding majority that Rensselaer Acacia is America's number one fratrenity.

During pauses in their deliberations, they contributed to a very successful autumnal rushing and social season. As a result of our bacchanalian revels thirteen Rensselaer men now sport the golden t riangle. Caravans of hungry souls migrate weekly to these meccas of feminine pulchritude in the happiness of pursuit.

Eager participants in such excursions ar e Dick Andrus, Gary DerTHE TRIAD

man, and Tom Fairbrother, most recent additions to our roving brotherhood.

Recently the chapter entertained Undersecretary of State Andrew Berding, Dr. Richard Folsom, President of Rensselaer, and Dean Mueller, Dean of the Humanities Department. at a dinner before an address given by Mr. Berding.

Ed Segrist has achieved the distinction of being elected into White Key, the Sophomore Honor Society.

Ed was one of eight men chosen out of 850 in the class.

Fate dealt a strange card last term as Acacia ranked number one in scholastic standing. Bill Tuel, an electrical engineering co-op, remains as the only student at RPI to maintain a perfect 4.0 average for five terms. Two other brothers also received perfect averages for the term.

Music remains an integral part of the chapter as Les Fisher has taken over the reins of the Glee Club and Dave Zugale has become the manager of the Wind Ensemble, an organization patterned after the Eastman Ensemble. Les also sings lead tenor for the Four Horsemen, who spent last Easter vacation entertaining at various Caribbean night spots.

Brother Les Fisher entertaining Rensselaer Acacians and their dates.

Campus publications prosper under the development of a strong core of Acacians as the guiding light of journalism. Several members of the house are on the Junior Board of the paper and one is on the Junior Board of the yearbook.

Acacia's light also shines strongly on the field of athletic endeavor.

Gary Derman was the number one diver on last year's undefeated swimming team. The house football team placed third in the IF league, missing second by the narrowest of margins. With all the veterans reWINTER, 1 961

turning next year, we look forward to an undefeated season. The chapter's basketball team this year has considerable height, an element that was lacking last season, and hopes for much increased success in the future slate of games.

Bruce Nutting stars in the Players production of the contemporary farce "The Golden Fleecing." He is ably assisted by George Duberstein and Bob Barton.

Bill Siegle won 2nd and 3rd prizes in national competition for his technical articles "Magnetic Core Storage" and "Communications."

SYRACUSE

By DANIEL WERTENBERG Having been initiated into the Syracuse chapter this fall, Edward Blish, John Nichols and Daniel W ertenberg are now wearing the jeweled pin.

A party Friday night, a champagne breakfast and a dance Saturday provided us with the best Colgate Weekend to date. Our Colgate poster drew nothing but praise from everyone but the judges. A coffee with Zeta Tau Alpha and several post-football game parties for brothers and alumni helped raise socia prestige.

Four new pledges have been added to our chapter. They are David Flagg, Stephen Karnak, Gordon Robbins and Nicolas Celenza. Rushing has not yet ended and we expect to get a pledge class of at least fifteen.

The house has been completely repainted, inside and out, the inside painting being done by the brothers and pledges. Our house rejuvenation program should be an asset for rushing and social activities.

With the house average at 1.447 (on a three point system). the Syracuse chapter is now sixth out of thirty in the fraternity scholarship rankings. However, we still have the top accumlative average for the past five years.

Brothers are active in the following organizations: American Institute of Physics, Alpha Phi Omega, Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Mu Alpha, Alpha Xi Sigma, Young Republicans, Young Democrats, Marching Band, University Orchestra, Pershing Rifles, Scabbard and Blade, Orientation Week Committee, and varsity and intramural sports. One brother is editor of the College of Forestry newspaper, and another is an announcer on W AER, the campus radio station.

The brothers would like to take this opportunity to thank all the alumni who have visited us so far this year.

Happy Anniversary to Brother James Dann and his wife Penny who have been married one year.

TEXAS

By DoN TAYLOR Following rush week, five men were initiated into the Texas chapter. They are: John William Dalton, William Lee Dodrill, Douglas Claude Graham, Gary Owen Todd, and Charles Curtis W eyerman.

A great deal of hard work netted for Texas one of the finest pledge classes it has had. At mid-semester the following 28 men were on the rolls as pledges: Bill Bryan Beauchamp, Austin; Ralph Johnson Castor, Jr., Houston; David Franklin Chappell, Ft. Worth; Jerry M. Cox, Levelland ; Robert M. Craig, Houston; David Aden Dunn, Orange; Robert Nathan Fain, Nacogdoches; Homer Garrison, III, Austin; James William Gibson, Dallas; Ronnie Milton Guetersloh, Levelland; William W. Holmes, Odessa; Greg Owen Lipscomb, Houston; Gary Allen Lovett, Amarillo ; Charles Robert McConachie, Austin; James Kay Moore, Houston; James Owen Rush, Texas City ; Dwain Lawson Newman, Odessa; Floyd Wesley Richards, Amarillo; Robert Ring, Houston; Donald Carter Rutherford, Waco; Edward Dean Scruggs,

Houston; Nathan Jeanne Sewell, Houston; Howard Lee Stich, San Antonio; Ronald Lee Tatham, Levelland; Lowry Lamar Tims, Cleveland, Mississippi; William Caswell Ward, Austin; Billy Jake Wofford, Lockney; and Howard Reed Yowell, Dallas.

Consistent with its efl'orts in the academic field, Acacia¡ at Texas placed seventh among 21 fraternities for the year 1959-60. This represented a move upward from the standing of thirteenth the previous year.

Several Texas members have been honored since this chapter reported to the Triad. In the spring of 1960 Tom Henson was elected president of the UT Interfraternity Council, highlighting a career of loyalty and service to his chapter and the Council. Also last spring, Gene Smith was elected Chief Justice of the Student Court. Very recently Gene was elected to membership in the Silver Spurs, campus honorary service organization. Travis Crawford, Texas Venerable Dean, was this semester elected secretary of the Silver Spurs. Mike Hatchell has been appointed Chairman of Varsity Carnival, the most outstanding Greek event of the spring semester. Texas was especially proud that its revered alumnus, Oliver N. Bruck, was the recipient of the Acacia Award of Merit at the past National Conclave. It was an honor well bestowed and much deserved by Brother Bruck.

Texas is so far enjoying a most successful intramural year. Our spirited B league football team turned back all comers and entered the fraternity division semi-finals, only being eliminated there by the determined efforts of Phi Delta Theta. The bowling team also has been doing very well. Basketball season is just beginning, and both Acacia teams promise to make strong showings.

Under the able leadership of Junior Dean Charlie Stewart, Texas has experienced a very socially successful semester to now. The future promises to yield much the same.

Especially active in assisting Charlie has been Richard Newberry. We were glad to have a number of guests from the OU chapter at our party in Dallas following the UTOU game. In October we had parties with Alpha Chi Omega and Gamma Phi Beta. Coming up: the "Pledge Blast," a party with Delta 56

Zeta, a Christmas party, and a winter formal.

October 29 was Dad's Day at UT. Texas entertained its alumni, their wives, parents, and guests at a buffet preceding the SMU football game and at a party that night. A large number were on hand for both events.

David Standridge is leading the Texas singers, who will attempt to capture honors for Acacia at the annual Greek Sing Song on December 3. Our selection this year is a medley of songs from "Porgy and Bess." .

It was with much pleasure that Texas welcomed back as housemother, Mrs. L. E. Elliot, after an absence of two and one-half years.

Mrs. Elliot is one of the most gracious and charming of women, and we are justly proud that she is with us again.

VERMONT

By LESLIE pARKER Vermont Acacia is off to the races, with its membership at the 50 pt. (last spring) we are now eagerly awaiting the mid-semester rush period. Our strength is not only of numbers but it is also of spirit.

Our social calendar this fall has yet to be completed, but at this time we may look back upon a very successful Gangster party, and though there were no fatalities, the party was nevertheless enjoyable; thanks to Ralph Matthews, our social chairman. Ralph has just been chosen as Assistant Kake Walk director, a real BMOC job. Homecoming this fall was our big weekend with many of the alums back (Carl Peabody, Dave Bowers, Howie Cutts, Bob Slack, Put Clayton, Tony Dudley, Stu Maynard, and Sid Barnard).

One of the highlights of the festival was our Homecoming float, which was constructed of off color napkins under the direction of John Morse.

Our pre rush open house was surprisingly successful this year. We had about 100 men attending, this being about 4 times as many as had attended any such party in years past. Coupled with our Christmas ball this year, was a party for underprivileged children, on the afternoon following the ball; and the 20 children had a great time. This year being our tenth anniversary, we held the celebration on this weekend also. At our Christmas buffet, President John Fey presided over the ceremonies. Dave Shiverick is

to be thanked for arranging the weekend.

The boys in the "Cave" have been improving their part of the house, also there has been much painting and goings on throughout the rest of the house. Congratulations to the track team boys (Tim Simpson, Hal Billings, Tim Grant, John Mills, and Dave Shiverick).

WASHINGTON By

DAVID ScHUBERT

As a result of hard work and good rushing five new men were pledged during informal rush to the Washington Chapter. We now have eleven pledges and fifteen actives in our house and in using a different type rush program we hope to do even better. In our rush program Speedy Garrison, National Field Secretary, has given us some new pointers. We use a revolving rush file system and have a pledge rush chairman and use every social function as a rush function. We also have men going out every night to the men's dorm to rush. Thus, by rushing hard we hope to build up the membership of this house to well over forty men.

Our pledges have also been very active as John Merila, our pledge class President, has been doing a fine job in organizing such functions as the pledge sneak and pledge dance. Lee Knie is the new pledge rush chairman and is doing a great for the house in this respect. The pledge sneak was almost a success although the speedy and swift actives, brother's Schubert and Doupe' managed to control the situation.

On campus we find Terry Van Eaton as IFC Vice-President in charge of Interfraternity relations and Don Hall as Publicity Chairman of the Organized House Association. Glee Club officers Ralph Miller and Terry Van Eaton along with Henry Schatz are singing for University Glee. Don Hall, Duane Hopp and Glenn Robinson are on the yacht Club turnouts. Our Homecoming Sign, which only cost us seven dollars, was original in design and with the help of Brother Miller as head artist, the actives, pledges, rushees, and the sisters of ZTA our Homecoming sign was a tremendous success. Our Pledge Dance was highlighted by the announcement our new chapter Sweetheart, Miss Linda Mittermaier, a Psychology Major. Under the able assistance of Brother Woods we

THE TRIAD

have had many fine exchanges including a cowboy and a shipwreck aance. After finals all Brothers who have turned twenty-one will be initiated into the yellow dogs at Brother Schubert's.

Sports wise we find the Actives just winning in the Pledge Active football game 7-6. Also this weekend the Washington Chapter will play the Washington State Chapter in their Annual football game which we won last year 13-6. After watching the Varsity football game there will be a dinner dance followed the next day by an officers brain storming session and our game. Turning out for crew this year we have big AI Sumeri, six four and little Duance Hopp, six seven doing well on the choppy waters of Lake Washington.

especially enjoyable because of visits by members from our Purdue and Michigan chapters. Jim Kosalos has also done an excellent job on party and Homecoming decorations throughout the semester.

For Homecoming we had a very successful alumni party at the Loraine Hotel here in Madison. followed by dinner and dancing at the chapter house. Sy Gordon played for us at the hotel and later came as a guest to dinner. We are very grateful to Don Schuler for the good work he did for us and the house on this occasion.

With the invaluable aid of Field Secretary Norm Saatjian, a strong rush program has been organized.

This program has been carried out with varying degrees of success all semester; we hope soon to show a large upswing in membership. We also expect to rise considerably in scholarship rating in this and the next semesters.

WISCONSIN

By REGINALD RUTHERFORD The Wisconsin chapter of Acacia pledged Robert Dicke and Karl Schwartz in formal rush this fall.

In informal rush, we pledged James Kosalos Kenneth Nelson, and Paul Wickesburg. We have initiated the following men: Charles Roberts and Robert Bloedom of Green Bay, James Manteufel of Portage, Stanley Schwantes of Hustisford, and Fred Alyea of Waukesha.

This fall we have had a number of good parties, two of which were

By SHERMAN DRAKE The beginning of the fall semester at Wyoming University found the Wyoming Acacians busily painting and making major repairs on the chapter house.

Through a stepped up rushing program and a very good cook, to counter- balance the small and antiquated house, the chapter has brought its membership up to an all- time high of fifty men. It started this year by picking up ten pledges during rush week, and now at midsemester, it has twenty-one. With the cooperation that the chapter has been having, the Wyoming Acacia Chapter expects to have from sixty to seventy- five men by the end of this school year.

At this time, the members of the 1960 pledge class are: Charles Atwill, Midwest, Wyo.; Larry Bush, Casper, Wyo.; Roy Crawford, Buffalo, Wyo.; Larry Dooley, Buffalo, Wyo.; Robert Downs, Casper, Wyo.; Rick Graham, Alliance, Nebr.; Jim Hipsher, Igloo, S.D.; Robert Jackson, Lander, Wyo.; David Lewis, Cheyenne, Wyo.; David Lindmier, Douglas, Wyo. ; Rick Ludlow, Oak Lawn, Ill.; Bruce Martin, Lincolnwood, Ill.; Robert Milne, Lander, Wyo.; Floyd Peterson, Lander, Wyo.; Smith Payton, Shoshoni, Wyo.; Bill Regan, Alliance, Nebr.; Jim Robeson, Lander, Wyo.; Mike Smith, Wheatland, Wyo.; Bruce Wilkinson, Lancaster, Pa. ; Dan Wil-

kinson, Shoshoni, Wyo.; Richar d Winger, Jackson, Wyo. Homecoming weekend at the University of Wyoming brought many rewards to the Acacia Chapter.

Among them were third place in the Homecoming Sing and float. Winning the third place position in the sing was made possible by the hard work of the chapter members and the excellent direction of brother J. Terry Iversen. It was a tired group of pledges who pushed the fiftyseven foot float, "Pistol Pakin' Pokes," to victory through the ice and snow of the early Wyoming winter after working all night along side the actives to prepare it for the parade.

After the Homecoming game, alumni and their families were entertained at the chapter house by the brothers and Mother Hamilton.

During this open house an alumni meeting was held to discuss the problem which is always presented to a rapidly growing fraternity-a chapter house that is too small and out of date. Also discussed was the electrical wiring which makes it impossible for the members to have enough lights on by which to study at night. Besides this problem with the lights, the chapter is forced to feed fifty men with kitchen facilities and dining room space for only twenty-eight.

Several members attended the annual Black and Gold banquet and dance which was held at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, Colorado, on November 12, 1960. Wyoming's attendant to the queen was Beta Phi Sorority. The queen who Miss Mary Jo Thompson of the Pi reigned over the festivities was a crippled child from the Masonic sponsored Hospital for Crippled Children in Denver .

Wyoming Acacians are having to sing for their supper-It appears they must be good singers!

WINTER, 1 961

WILLIAM S. DYE, II DIES AUTHOR OF "ACACIA FRATERNITY, THE FIRST HALF CENTURY"

A primary objective of Acacia is to help mold men into good citizens. Over the years since the founding of this fraternity, Acacia has fostered the ideals and principals which, in truth, lead the way to this objective.

Chapter rolls are full of names of prominent lawyers, statesmen, and community leaders from every walk of life. One has to reflect upon the foresight, then, of the men who were responsible for the beginnings of this movement and the formation of the fraternity.

Therefore, it is with first pride and, second, hearfelt loss the Acacia Fraternity points to the name of William S. Dye, Jr., as one that never be forgotten in the annals of Acacia.

Wise counselor, devoted educator, and true brother, Bill Dye was a charter member of the Penn State Chapter at its founding in 1909. His passing last June 17th has created a void that can never really be filled.

In service to the fraternity were the only outstanding work in the life of this man, then Acacians could beam justifiably as having had one of the A 284 page history of the first fifty years of Acacia.

WILLIAM S. DYE, JR.

greatest brothers. In addition to this service, however, Bill Dye was a man of even greater proportions in the influence that his lifelong career ?.5 a genuine scholar exerted on the lives of thousands of Penn State students.

Brother Dye received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Pennsylvania in 1905, a Master of Science in History at Penn State in 1908 and a Doctorate in English from the University of Pennsylvania in 1915. Thereafter followed several teaching assignments culminating in the Head Professorship in the Department of English Literature, a position held at Penn State from 1927 until his retirement with emeritus rank in 1944.

With Masonry as a background, Acacia much interested Dr. Dye. His fraternal interest, both local and national, was very pronounced. Not only did he serve as National President of Acacia from 1922 until 1929¡, but many books and articles dealing with various phases of the fraternity came from his pen.

Among these, probably the most familiar are: "ACACIA FRATERNITY, The First Half Century;" ritual revisions and his inspiring "Epic of Acacia", which appears in the Pledge Manual.

A shrewd critic of literature, and a versatile and ebullient connoisseur of good taste, the learned Doctor once said: "Tell me what you read, and I'll tell you what you are."

Acacians everywhere can be proud that the fraternity has enjoyed the services of this able man.

Certainly the Acacians of the future will use his writings and discerning viewpoints to guide them to greater accomplishments. No finer tribute can be paid this man than to say that Dr. William S. Dye, Jr., was eighty years wise when he died.

PAST NATIONAL COUNSELOR ARTHUR N. NEU DIES Arthur N. Neu, past National Counselor and member of the Northwestern Chapter died suddenly of a heart attack in December. Brother Neu's 67 years of life will go down as one of full exemplification of our fraternity motto, "Human Service."

Brother N eu during the past twenty-six years has served as Mayor of Carroll, Iowa. Having been a life long resident of that town served the city during one of its greatest periods of growth.

Serving as Mayor of Carroll holds small promise for strictly monetary gains. Brother N eu didn't consider the financial remuneration. He could well have spent the time in more rewarding pursuits from a mere fiscal standpoint, and the demands for time in connection with the successful administration of the office are extensive. But Brother Neu served efficiently and with dignity in a position that offered comparatively little compensation other than some measure of personal satisfaction for having been a good and public spirited citizen in his home community.

Brother N eu served as National Counselor for Acacia during 192729.
