CAREER UESTIONS John Plattner, Acacian, heads the employment and training industrial relations division of The Procter & Gamble Co. His views on sizing up a company for employment are sound . . . and applicable to not only graduates this spring but to men considering switching their present positions.
What exactly is a company? "Primarily, a group of human beings more than willing to meet you half way." "But of course there is more to it than that. A company is an organization of people selling goods or a service for a profit. Grounds, equipment, buildings - all of these are a company PLUS people. " "A company is just like an individual with a personality. Individuals have a sense of humor, generosity and intelligence. Companies have corporate structure, health of earnings, service to stock-holders, research and development, production efficiency, sales vigor, executive evaluation etc."

"Remember that a company consists of other people very similar to yourself - with the desires and ambitions. "Be honest with them and they'll be honest with you."
one year's wages! "As far as salary is concerned, however, when you leave school you will be earning as much as the man who went straight to work. "
Am I ready to face up to the problems of industry? " It is impossible to prepare yourself for all eventualities through formal academic training. There'll be time when you'll need plain old ingenuity! "
" I'm afraid it's the old, old story- graduate a;..;> , . u ...,vl is good for some, not beneficial to oth-
"The first question you must ask yourself is 'What kind of work do I want to engage in? ' you have the answer to this, then you know whether graduate school is for you. instance: " Atomic energy and electronics research • " •rAl"¡lr would benefit you greatly to go to graduschool. "But if you've no idea what you want to do , might be advisable to go straight into indusand get practical engineering experience. est yourself by asking: 'What will my specialbe? ' "There is also the financial side of it. Can afford it? Nowadays, there are many felavailable to good students should you .,.............."' to go to grad school. But you will lose
What type of work should I go into? "Keep an open mind about this. There are many interesting and challenging activities in the engineering field. " It is very true that when you want something very much and try exceptionally hard to attain it, you're more than likely to be successful. But many people finish in professions for which their academic training hadn't fitted them. " Obviously, some predeter mination on the general area of work you're interested in is desirable. You ought to know whether or not you're more interested in engineering or teaching dancing! "
3
How then do I find out what I want to do? "This is no simple question to answer. Complex problems rarely have quick, easy answers. I would give you one quote in answer- 'Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world.' "Undoubtedly if you looked you would find several positions which would make you happy. Investigate every reasonable opportunity in the various types of engineering activities.
When I have found a firm I like. what points should I consider about it? 1. "Is there a plan for individual development along either administrative or technical lines? 2. "Are technical contributions recognized and compensated for if you don't become an administrator. Remember that although you don't need to learn specific titles and qualifications for positions in the progression program, you do need to know that there are real responsible positions which you would find challenging and which are available to you if you are good enough to be promoted. 3. "Is there a promotional system, a merit system, or does it depend upon seniority? In other words , don't join any company where progression depends upon anything other than your own contributions. Look for a company that provides the opportunities for you to make the grade, and does not wait for someone to die or retire before giving you a promotion!
4
4. " Is the company growing in both sales and people? A vigorous sales growth indicates an expanding company, and an expanding company needs engineers. A growing company needs administrators and engineering specialists so obviously the advancement possibilities are limitless. You will find useful information regarding the capital assets, profits, personal sales per employee, consecutive years for paying dividends of different companies in Moodys Industrial Manual.
Should I ioin a large or small company? "There ~re advantages to both. Many people are not interested in becoming a cog in a big production machine. They want to be separate entities, individuals, with a certain amount of control over their destinies. " Others, however, believe they are clever and smart enough to get to the top. And the top for them is not a big frog in a small puddle. " So which is best, you ask. When Dr. Johnson was asked a similar question- 'Which is smarter, man or woman?' he replied: 'Which man, which woman?' In turn I would say to you which large company? Which small company? There can be success in both."
" Consider, therefore, the company's hiring policy. Does it hire en masse to do its selection later, firing the unsatisfactory people? Has it had wholesale lay-offs in the last ten years?
Should I consider money too much? -.;::.
"A good salary is of course a very important thing, not only for your own well-being but belcause it is an indication of the companies feeling of your worth to its progress. Don't think lthough that the bigger the salary, the better lthe job. Quite often it is the other way round. Companies are sometimes forced to bid extra lhigh for some or another reason. "
"At your ages it is not too necessary to worry :about security. But you do need to exercise a 'little free enterprise in selecting your first job. 1'It could take you a year to really get in your •stride and find out what is happening in the 1company of your choice. If you don't have a reasonable period to establish yourself and prove your worth before you are discharged, you will never make the progress of which you know you are capable.
I
"Security of course does not mean only the immediate security but old age security as well. Check into the program the company has for retirement. Will the plan together with your social security and your own savings program be enough to provide for you in your old age? Does the company have an insurance program to protect your family in the event something happens to you? "
5
What else should I look for you?
How do I ascertain this?
"A flexible training program. Ask if the company has a training program which is intended to allow you to progress up the success ladder.
"There are several ways. Before accepting a company's offer I would want to visit their plant to meet the people with whom I might become affiliated. I'd want to see if the people were happy and interested in their work. To talk to them about their progress and future. The important thing is that the company be employee rather than production orientated.
How do I determine the type of traininc;~ proc;~ram?
"Ask on your one day visit. You can learn a great deal about a company from their approach to improving the effectiveness of their employees. "Investigate thoroughly the company's attitude towards its personnel. The democratic approach of running a company is preferable to the autocratic approach. When you have found a company that believes its personnel is its most important asset, then you've found a company that will probably make a good employer.
6
Should I be willnc;~ to re-locate? "In a word yes! There are many valid reasons for locational preferences like illness of a parent, but I'd like to emphasize one thing: happiness doesn't depend on the climate or recreational facilities. An individual lives in a small world. It is enough to be happy in your work and have good friends ."

OTHER What is Acacia to a Mom 1 She does not know the secret mysteries that bind her son so closely to his Acacian brothers, but she does know that this fraternity is changing him from a self interested person into a group interested person . What happens to her son become symbols of the fraternity . She watches him grow from a boy into a young man under the brotherly love and guidance of the older men. She sees him doing his part in working co-operatively with other similar young men to make the fraternity a dynamic, respected group, and she is assured that he is developing along the right tracks. Fraternity experiences now -
working constructively
with others, making wise choices instead of immature foolish ones- will make him capable and willing in the future . She will see him taking his place confidently in a complex

Walter Cronkite, a Chi Phi, speaking at The University of Texas to an Interfraternity workshop of representatives of all colleges in Texas having fraternities, local clubs or seeking fraternity affiliations, had some interesting observations on fraternity, sorority and college life. Following is an abbreviated version taken from a tape of his speech. Cronkite, now CBS anchor man on world events, has covered the great stories of our time for newspapers, radio and T.V. He is an ex-student of The University of Texas. His remarks follow:
I took a great deal more from my fraternity than I gave- but what I took was a very great deal - companionship of the highest possible order, self-confidence born of belonging to a 1group of which I was proud, enrichment of my ¡personal life which gave all of my college ca. reer an added dimension and even an extra ¡bond to seal life-long friendships that already 1 existed. And my high school buddies who came to college with me after the experience of our fraternity were bound together much tighter than they ever could have been previously. I found a certain guidance by example in ,gentlemanly conduct. They call it the social graces in a girls' school. But gentlemanly conduct I learned. I took off my yellow shoes and put on a tuxedo, I suppose you would say. I was introduced to girls, most of whom I couldn't afford. I count that as a blessing though. And in later years I have been provided with an introduction to some very, very pleasant people whom I might not have known if it hadn't been for my fraternity associations. I think we all agree that fraternities cannot occupy the center of the stage at any university or college. They may not intrude upon the prin-
cipal job of getting an education any more than a man after years can let his favorite sport, bowling or golf, interfere with getting his job done. I think our young do need guidance and the priority of things. I think this guidance, however, need not be hard to find. The older men in the undergraduate ranks in a fraternity certainly can provide it, and if they can't, and if they need help themselves, certainly the counselors, the advisors to the chapter can provide it if they are doing their job. We must assume that what we are talking about is the ideal fraternity where people do the jobs that are assigned to them and that must be done. A fraternity can take a supplementary role in education which is disproportionate to anything that any other outside group can do on a college campus. It can take a most important role in this area. For the members of a fraternity there is guidance of a nature in the educational field (I am talking about the right fraternity, the well-run fraternity), that cannot be provided in any other sort of outside group or outside area. I understand that in some places apartments have been provided in fraternity houses for faculty members and for distinguished visitors to lend a greater intellectual atmosphere to the fraternity house - men who can really add something to a good bull session. It seems to me that this is an admirable idea and a wonderful one to bring the educational atmosphere a little closer to home in a fraternity house. A well-run fraternity house is a built-in tutoring system, as well. And tell me where else you can find that on a college campus, where every man who needs some help can get it from his brothers at the fraternity house. I do feel that the fraternities should be a retreat, as well, from the daily routine, if this is to
9
be home in our college years. It certainly can and must inspire and even prod the members on to greater intellectual achievement toward this goal of excellence. But it should not lose sight that companionship is really the base of the fraternity system. We have grown, perhaps, a little overly serious in this drive to excell in the competition particularly with the Russians. We have almost let fun become a dirty word. I can't believe that at all. I can't believe that we can beat the Russians by imitating them. I can't believe that by being as stodgy and as dull as they are, by lacking a sense of humor, by keeping our nose to the grindstone until it comes out the back of our neck, we are going to really win this race for men's minds, as well as the race in scientific achievement. It seems to me that we don't need a reason to exist as fraternities. I don't think we have to explain ourselves away. I don't think that we should be forced into becoming service organizations, do-good organizations, organizations with civic responsibility. I think it is wonderful that we can have projects that come from our heart, that we want to perform, that we seed a need, that we see a hole to be filled, a gap where we can do something. I think it is marvelous, but we are not going to become service organizations as sort of a camouflage to avoid surveillance, nor are we going to let it be forced upon us from the outside by those who , I'm afraid, desire principally to see us not prosper as to see us falter, and do somehow or other chop away at us like Kruschiev chopping away at his salami. Getting back to this extra work , taking on projects, civic responsibilities, and so forth, I don't think too much should be demanded of the fraternity. I don't think that too much ac-
10
tivity is perhaps a good idea. It must not become so active in outside endeavor that the fraternity man is so busy with his own group that he has no time for the extracurricular activities in the University itself. Indeed, one of the great things that fraternities do on our campuses, it seems ¡to me, is to push their members into outside activities, into participation in extracurricular activities on the campus. It would be a shame if we got so busy with our own little set that we didn't have time for that kind of outside activity. Williams College charges that isolation of fraternities is inhumane to the persons excluded by nonmembership. They would solve this by the dormitory system. By golly, who says that dormitories are humane, for goodness sake. Rejection there of the individual in a dormitory can be as highly personal as anywhere, far worse than the mere exclusion of membership in a mass organization. The socially maladjusted, the misfit there is given no opportunity at social adjustment, and no help at self-improvement. Certainly you can't say that about fraternities that I know of. The help is there, from brothers, to every member of the fraternity. It doesn't alarm me that there apparently is a growing number of those who think for themselves and who resist the pressures of social conformity, and who do not join fraternities. I think that is good for the frater nity system. I think it is good that growing number s of independents on our campuses are independents by choice. It seems to me that it dilutes and perhaps destroys this whole charge of snobbery and social exclusion. It helps prevent the fraternity from becoming to an individual something that the fraternity is not . The fraternity lodge is not a shield behind which the weak
1man can hide. No man is going to be a better man simply because he wears a piece of jewelry. He is going to be a better man for the discipline of the organizational life and the enrich! ment of his experience from fraternity life. But let's also not write off the fraternity's Irole in this business of the making of a gentle1man. I hope that there are no educators who decry the gentlemanly virtues, and yet I know of no other source for their inculcation during the college years than in the fraternity system. Who else on the campus today is one iota concerned with the social growth and the developlment of the individual in the so-called gentleJmanly virtues? I don't know. The Dean of Stu' dent Life can do a great deal toward making this college and this University a more pleasant â&#x20AC;˘place in which to live and give it the right environment. But when it gets down to the indi. vidual problems, how can he deal with the ¡thousands with whom he has to deal? The fra, ternity can deal with the few scor e with which it deals and it's going to. It is going to be quite ' sure that its men are gentlemen. Again, don't forget we are talking about good fraternities. To be a gentleman is certainly not in my book to be a snob. Snobbishness can have many manifestations, all of them exceedingly ugly. . But one of them is not being discriminate in the ,choosing of one's friends. This is one of the last great bulwarks of the individual in this country of ours, with the population explosion, the pressures of our time, speed of our time , the haunt of the individual is getting fewer and fewer. Once I have chose those I want as my friends, I then say that it is my right, an indisputable right, to choose those who we want to be friends with. It is no one's business but ours. No one's. Father McAnary, Professor of Philosophy at
DePaul University, said at an intrafraternity meeting that to belong to a fraternity or not to belong, prefer this to that, has nothing to do with a man's patriotism, his duty to mankind. While there is still resistance, there is a growing body of opinion in this nation which believes that no man should be barred from wholly equal opportunities to an education, to job opportunities, to free movement, free residence, because of the color of skin, or the nature of the God to whom he prays. Wherever membership in an organization is necessary to the attainment of these rights, then membership should not be barred by anyone by reason of race or creed. But the extension of this practice to purely social organizations is as much an infringement on the rights of the individual as are the denial of equal opportunities to members of the minorities. Whether a lodge accepts a man, seems to me, of another race or a creed is soley, solely only, the question of whether it wants that man to be a brother, to be in their company or not. I applaud those who have the courage of their convictions to defy narrow prejudice and easy conformity to accept any man that they feel qualified in their organization. But, I also would defend to the very death their right to say that they don't want a man - and that on any grounds that they choose or wish - or on no grounds at all. If I choose purely in selecting my companions, and if I choose badly in selecting my companions, then certainly society will judge, but the choice is mine alone to make. 1 cannot believe that there is anything here that infringes upon the dignity of any individual whether he is chosen to be in my company or is rejected for whatever reason I may choose.

MAZING ACACIAN ...
Coach H. L. "Tom" Sebring 1925-27
One of the brightest stars in the Acacia galaxy is Harold Sebring, perhaps better known as Tom. He is a man with several careers - successful ones- behind him but the most challenging, he confides, is his latest assignment: Dean of Stetson University, for its fourth academic year. "Every job I have ever held has been more entrancing than the last," he says. "I never have regretted any decision I made in life. That is my secret." Born in Olathe, Kansas on March 9, 1898, Harold L. Sebring, first picked up his nickname of Tom in World War I when he spent 22 months as an enlisted man with the famed Second Division. He also picked up a quartet of decorations including the Silver Star with oak leaf cluster and the Croix de Guerre. But Tom only jokes: "As near as I can figure , all you had to do to earn a decoration was to stay alive!" Following the war, Tom enrolled at Kansas State and worked his way through, holding at times, three jobs while at the same time making top grades as a student and starring as an end on the Wildcat Football team. Tom was so short on funds while at K-State that he enrolled in the same courses as his brother Acacian, J. William Skinner, so he could use Skinner's books! From 1923-24, he assisted Maj. J. A. Van Fleet as a football coach on the staff of Florida University, and became head coach himself from 1925-27. His first team won eight out of 10. Then everyone graduated. It was Tom who assembled the "Phantom Four" backfield of Clyde Crabtree, Royce Goodbread, Carl Brum-
13
baugh and Rainey Cawthon - the brilliant backfield of the '28 season. "I knew some of my boys were practically living off egg sandwiches," he said, "but they could still get out there and play a whale of a game of football on Saturday afternoon." When Tom got his law deg!ee in 1927, he gave up coaching but left behind nine promising sophomores. In the same year that he started out on his second career he also set out on married life with Elise Bishop of Cainesville. In 1935 he was appointed judge by Gov. Dave Scholtz and seven years later, he was elected to the first of his two six-year terms as State Supreme Court judge. As a judge, Tom was noted for his scrupulous search for facts, his driving energy and his relentless logic. This reputation for unshakable devotion to truth no doubt led to Tom's appointment in 1946 to the Nazi War Crimes Tribunal at Nuremburg. After Nuremburg, he returned to serve as Chief Justice from 1951-53. Against the dominant political mood of the state, and together with Justice Elwyn Thomas, Tom dissented from a rule refusing admission of the Negro , Virgil Hawkins, to the Florida University Law School. " As a judge I was bound by the Constitution, and the Constitution says that the decisions of the Supreme Court are the law of the land." In 1955, Dean Sebring came to Stetson, refusing flattering demands that he run for governor and turning down the presidency of the University of Florida. "I chose Stetson because it is a special kind of law school with large ambitions and a fresh approach. "

"While housecleaning in my office I found the much searched for photo of 17 charter members of Harvard Chapter No. 9 of Acacia, organized at Cambridge in 1906. My late brother Edwin and I were among the group. I'm most anxious to identify the others in the picture. Can you help?" So writes Brother A. I. Myers of Caldwell, Idaho. In the hopes that this request might stimulate interest and stir memories, here's the picture. Send data to the TRIAD office. Harvard originally was known as Teth chapter.
14 Alumni Named
To Serve As Province Governors
In a progressive move, aimed at strengthening Acacia's ties of friendship , the National Council early this year appointed 14 alumni to serve as the fraternity's first Province Governors. Appointments run for one year, to be reviewed by the council at its January session each year. Eventually 24 province governors will be named, but until that goal is reached the remaining 10 provinces will continue to be operated by the temporary committee system. Executive Secretary Roy Clark will supervise the governors, who in turn will appoint others in their areas to assist them in promoting the cause of Acacia. Among the duties of the new governors are: (1) development of stronger ties between Acacia, DeMolay and Masonry; (2) development of colonies and new chapters ; ( 3) coordination of summer rush ; ( 4) development of alumni group meetings ; (5) cooperation with field secretaries. " Our Province Governor plan will not bring perfection at once," explains National Council Member Marvin Logan, " and it will all take time to develop . However, with reasonable dedication to the job, our province system could improve our fraternity effectiveness by 100 per cent." On the following two pages, the TRIAD introduces six of the new Province Governors. Others will be introduced in the next issue.

Indiana Masonic 'Ties Grow Indiana Chapter is not lacking in Masons. Last year, six broth' ers became Master Masons. They are: David Schoon, Larry IF.ranks, Jerry Mayes, Don Young, Gary Fulk and Dave Figg. Three other brothers are petitioning lodges. There is a very interesting circumstance involving brothfer Schoon. When Richard Hicktam (Worshipful Master of Mon•.roe Lodge 22) was initiated inIto Acacia on Nov. 6, 1960, "Schoonie" helped confer the degrees as Senior Dean. The tsituation was reversed, however, 1when "Schoonie" was passed Ito the degree of Fellowcraft !this past year by brother Hicktam. The chapter as a whole has '1 also been striving for this closer ·association. Last Spring the !Stone Belt Shrine Club per•mitted the chapter the use of !their facilities north of Bloomiington for a very successful 1rush party. To show apprecialtion, men in the house assisted lthe Shriners in selling tickets !for their annual Bar-B-Que. On lthe day of the Ba.r-B-Que many 1of the men in the house, along 1with a group of Chi Omegas, 1attended. In the future the lnldiana Chapter is looking forward Ito an increased number of similar activites with the Shriners to bring this relationship even closter. Also, with the amount of 'interest now present in the house, it is obvious that the.re 1will be more active members tof the house becoming Masons.
ILLINOIS ON THE DOUBLE! If you can't take a first ... take two seconds. It's even better! That's what happened last fa II at II linois where Acacians, as one of the few houses to enter both the stunt show and outside homecoming decorations, copped two second prizes. Their show, put on with the A6.lls, was a smash hit entitled "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Morality," a parody
on the hit broadway show, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." Jim Wormley managed the stunt show, which was written, produced and acted in by Steve Allen. Dave Spi.res was in charge of house decorations which centered around a "Grand Prix" theme-a takeoff on a race between lllibus and Buckswagon. The latter crashed to

IT'S HOUSE BUILDING TIME Looks like 'homeless waif' Nebraska Chapter, will soon be getting a new roof over their heads! Nebraska's alumni association is the driving force behind a building fund for a new house. They're aiming at topping $50,000 -already more than 20"/o of this figure has been contributed, and the drive will be intensified during the next few months. The present chapter house is being .rented. Tentative plans call for a $200,000 plus, 50-man structure, to be built one block south of the present house. The chapter has already acquired part of the land needed for the new house, and negotiations are under way on the rest of the required property. If eve.rything goes well, when the chapter participates in fraternity rush in Autumn 1964, it hopes to be surrounded by the smell of new paint. Nebraska's not the only chapter with thoughts on a new house. For the Wisconsin chapter is right behind. Their building program has been moving along smoothly and the preliminary drawings
22
were unveiled at an alumni homecoming party. The house will be seven stories but only 41f2 stories will be visible from the street. Estimated cost is $300,000. Password at the Acacia House now is everything "New"!! New house, new ideas, and re-new ties. This program of rebuilding the Wisconsin Chapter has been in progress for only II months and things are moving very rapidly. Last April the National Fraternity injected a spirit serum into the active chapter when the traveling secretary personally assisted in a program to revitalize the chapter which was a corporation in conjunction with the national program voted to build new housing for the chapter which was a step of crucial importance. The Wisconsin Interfraternity Association gave their assistance in the reorganization in conjunction with their program to strengthen the weak chapters in the system. And most importantly a few individuals in the Active Chapter had enough insight to see the need for something new within the fraternity.
At least one artist graduated from Miami University, has survived in the stiff competition of the art world. He is Acacian Jack Mueller whose exhibition of 37 paintings in oil, watercolor, tempera and ink was held on February 2 at the Cincinnati Art Club. Based on a recent European trip and entitled "Paintings of Europe," this is his third one man show in Cincinnati. Mueller now teaches art at Withrow High School.
Kansas burning up the alleys
For the second consecutive year Kansas chapter's bowling team has won first place in its league and second place in the hill playoffs. The team members are: Tom Spriggs, Ken Wilke, Dick Verhage, Ken Peterson and Tom Beisecker.
Nothing beats fraternity fun reation room was the ship's hold and was decorated with fish nets on the walls.
From pirates to pledges . . .
Jolly rogers, treasure chests, land treasure maps made up the 1setting for the Missouri Chapter's annual spring costume party. Theme was changed from the usual "Roaring 20's to a Pirate Party with the house decrated to resemble a ship, every one walked the plank into the house and signed a ship's log. IThe living room was the ship's deck and decorations consisted of a jolly roger over the fireplace, treasure maps, a treasure

It is a common practice in the Greek system for a sorority and a fraternity to treat each other to a good round of fun through exchanges, parties, and othe.r get-togethers. The Missouri Chapter though has come up with a new twist on this practice in partnership with the Sigma Alpha Chi Sorority of Stephens College. In the course of an SAX initiation, several of their initiates were given the "duty" to bring back to Stephens as many Acacians as possible. Although this situation sounds like a golden opportunity fo.r any red-blooded fraternity man, the brothers were somewhat apathetic about going since it was a week night and already well into the night. Seventeen managed to go though but with this one consolation: all SAX pledges would have to wax the Acacia house dining room floor. The following Sunday the petite SAX pledges and several actives arrived in blue jeans and sweatshirts prepared for their ordeal. Soon what was expected to be work turned out to be a pleasant event for all concerned. One week later on a Sunday morning, everyone in the house was awakened by loud noise at the front door. The cause, naturally, was SAX. Now they were going to take us to breakfast at the best restaurant in Columbia . at Acacia's expense.
Ever heard of an "Excuse to Have a Party" party? It's a bright idea thought up by the Oklahoma chapter, which, after having a party for all regular occasions, was beginning to run out of excuses for having a
party. Thus the new title! The Dave Peterson Quintet, one of the most popular bands on campus played (music, that is!).
Look out for Tiger! Tony the Tiger has the boys at Oklahoma on the run. She's Mrs. Tony Patton, new cook. Another new face at 0. U. is Mrs. William Vernon, housemother who took the place of Mrs. C. R. Taylor, now holding a similar position for the Acacians at Texas.

standing list of honors, which include being a member of the honorary economics society, Omikron Chi Epsilon. His answer to maintaining a high B average, is a rigid schedule. This is not the first time that Greg has been called "outstanding". In 1959-1960 he was named the University's outstanding freshman, and for the past three years, first year law student G.reg, has received the Army ROTC's 'Superior Cadet' award. Said Greg, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. 0. Lipscomb, Houston, after he had won the latest award: "I was very pleased and honored by the award, but I can't help feeling that the .r eally outstanding student is undiscovered. He is devoted to knowledge. He may or may not have a list of honors, but I don't think we shall know til 20 or 20 years from now when he wins the distinguished alumnus award."
Dr. Bunting Dies; first initiate
B.M.O.C. at Texas 21-year-old Texas University student Greg Lipscomb is "the most" in more ways than one. Last year he added "the most outstanding male student of 1962" award to his already out-

Death has come to the first man ever initiated into Acacia: Dr. Russell Bunting, 81, former dean of the University of Michigan school of dentistry. He was associated with the school more than ha If of a II the years it was in existence. He retired m 1950, having risen from instructor to dean during the 46 years he served the school. After retirement, Dr. Bunting kept active in the field of ora I surgery, serving as a dent a I consultant for the Federal Civil Defense Administration, spending his time between Washington, D. C. and his home at Battle Creek, Mich.
Dr. Barnes dies at 59 Acacia member, agriculturist, Dr. Carlton P. Ba.rnes, died a long way from his Connecticut home, when he collapsed with a heart attack in Budapest, Hungary, last September. The 59-year-old doctor, who received his doctorate from Clark University, Worcester, Mass. led the National Academy of Sciences Movement to provide this country with a national atlas.
Alum makes science news An Acacian alumnus from Colorado State, Marcus Price is¡ one of two scientists credited recently with having made radio astronomy's biggest discovery in I 0 years. He made the discovery of a magnetic field in outer space while working with another scientist in New South Wales, Australia. The magnetic field itself is near the constellation Centauras A which is 20 million light years away from the earth. Price graduated from C.S.U. in 1961, as one of II in his class receiving a Pacemaker award, the highest honor any C.S.U. student can acquire for leadership, scholarship and personality.
Pick sweetheart A real sweetheart to the Washington Chapter of Acacia, is lovely Kappa Gamma Leanne Sarr. Chosen from five finalists, Leanne, a sophomore, hails from Yakama, Wash.
1,000 at Arkansas House Dedication
r
The greatest day last year for all Arkansas Acacians was Oct. 6 for on that day their new chapter house was dedicated. After the band concert, Deputy Grand Master Quinn LaFargue gave a tribute to Albert Pike. A wreath was placed at the little log school house where Albert Pike first taught school. Over 1,000 people were guests of the Grand Lodge of Arkansas at the picnic lunch. Roy Cark gave the dedicatory address and then pre-
sented the key to the new house to V. D. Neil Maynard. Grand Master Benjamin M. Butt, gave an address on the ideals and purposes of Masonry. (He has accepted a bid to become an honorary membe.r of the Arkansas chapter of Acacia. (The dedication ceremony was held on the wide front porch of the new house with the chapter, Masons, and other guests on the steps 1n front of the house and completely filling the street at the bottom of the steps. The
CORNELL HONORS GRID SQUAD Acacia scored another first on the Cornell Campus last winter when it held the first "Meet the Squad" party, honoring the 1962 football team. More than 200 Cornelians rubbed shoulders with nearly the entire squad as they moved to the rhythm of Wilmer and the Dukes, a locally prominent band. Head
Coach Tom Harp returned from a recruiting trip two days early just to attend the party. Other Jthica residents thought the party such a great idea that they had it advertised on both local radio stations and the morning paper. Sam Woodside, sportscaster for one station, acted as MC for a brief program. Tearn
service of dedication was written by the Grand Master, and the Venerable Dean of Arkansas chapter asked the Grand Lodge to perform the rite of dedication. The architect presented the building and vouched for its proper construction. In the beautiful ceremony the house was dedicated and consecrated to the ideals of Acacia and Free Masonry. The Biblical corn, wine and oil were used as the dedication and consecration symbols.
Captain Tony Turrel thanked the Acacians at the party, then wrote this note: "You have started what we hope is a rebirth of spirit in the Cornell student body. I cannot express in words what you have done for Cornell football." More than 300 attended the party which was cited by the student paper as being a step in the right direction toward greater student interest in athlectics.

50 MILE SKI HIKE Six m.e mbers of Ohio State chapter took President Kennedy's physical fitness program to heart this winter: they made their 50-mile hike on skis! And they made radio, TV and newspaper headlines all over the place with their 13 hour expedition.
Loaded with cheese, sausage, bread and wine (it was so cold three bottles partially froze!) the sextet went from Columbus to Snow Trails, Ohio',; most famous ski resort near Mansfield. While called a 50-
27
50 MILE SKI HIKE
(con.)
mile hike, it actually was a 60-mile slip-n-slide outing on one of the coldest nights in February. Champagne awaited their arrival at the lodge, where the fraternity gathered for a ski party celebrating the event. Ski-weary Acacians making the trip were Actives Dave Glotzbacker,
28
Jack Schmidt, Bill Gauthier, Pledge Steve Sailor and Alumni Marv Rothhoar ('57) and Bill Schmitt ('61 ). Despiite the 60-mile jaunt, th emen participated in racing and jumping events during the ski weekend and were kept limbered up at a big dance given in their honor by a nearby Holiday Inn where they enjoyed free lodging. Each ski-hiker wore a racing bag, with Acacia on one side and Snow Trails on the other. A wire sent to JFK said: "How about 50 miles on skis? Columbus to Mansfield Snow Trails. Feb. 22, 1963." Signed: Barry's Boys of the old frontier, The Ohio State Chapter of Acacia Fraternity.

MEMO FROM THE EDITOR Our mail this winter brought such tl wide variety of tidings it would be difficMit to describe the total accumulation. It ranged from a request to identify Acacians in a class picture taken at Harvard some 60 years ago to a series of wild photographs showing the "treeing" of our field secretary, Ed Kohler, at Washington, in commemoration of his pinning a lovely KKG f.-om Illinois. We're running the Harvard picture in this issue but the Kohler ceremonial was reiected. While the occasion of carrying a man to a tree, roping him securely there (the pictures reminded us of a lynching scene!), and then dousing him with water is a festive and often humorous one at the time, it takes on a rather strange, almost sadistic air when viewed in retrospect from the testimony of picture after picture. In fact, such a series of pictures would give magazines like Esquire and Look iust the ammunition they're seeking to continue their attacks on fraternities in general, we believe. We're not condemning the ritual; we're merely saying that to publicize it could become public relations of the worst nature. Good public relations, on the other hand, bring about radio-TV editorials such as one which Minneapolis's WTCN issued in February under the heading: Greek Societies Need to be Revitalized.
30
"We are not among those who believe that fraternities and sororities have outlived their usefulness a-nd should be dumped," said WTCN. "We do believe they should be revitalized, and that they need to do more to iustify their exist¡ ence." Fraternities have come a long way since the Roaring Twenties but they have¡ n't publicized the constructive changes, said WTCN. "Through the years the Greeks have bec,o me less concerned with the wealth and lineage of those they take in and more concerned with their maturity, integrity, ideals and personality. But the general public does not know this," the station declared. WTCN was somewhat critical of alum¡ ni who insist that conditions be iust like they were when they were in school; of national leadership which "sometimes has been resistant to change"; and of the cost of fraternities. Credit was given, though, to the fact that the Greeks generally get better than average grades. Still, said the station, "they need to put more emphasis on scholarship." Finally, the station concluded, "if the Greeks wish to retain and increase their campus leaders hip, they must do more to meet the challenge of the nation's growing and ever-changing universities and colleges."
Being a life member of Acacia, I have long been a reader of the TRIAD. For years it has been my main source of contact with the national organization and with the accomplishments of the Acacia alumni all over the U .S .A. Since the change of format, however, I do not find it very interesting from the viewpoint of an alum-
nus. It seems to me that the great open spaces present in the last few issues are distinctly wasteful. Secondly, surely the TRIAD should be binding the alumni closer together than any other publication, but in the last few issues of TRIAD there has been little news of the various chapters that inspires and maintains continued alumni interest. I was not able to find one listed alumni organization, its address or any statement of its meetings. It would be helpful to members of chapters to know various alumni organizations do exist in different cities so that reference could be made to possible candidates for the active chapters. Dr. S. Ekblaw University of Kansas City Kansas, Mo.
We had a "Night on the Nile" party at Arizona in 1951 or 52, and it was old at other chapters then. I'm sure a search through earlier issues of TRIAD will show it goes back to 1948 or '49 at some chapters. Pete Hussey Arizona '53
The somewhat curious comment about "Night on the Nile Dance" could be ignored after the July issue, but now I see that others are claiming precedence. The Oregon State Chapter had a "Night on the Nile Dance" back in 1948-49, and chose the theme because of the Egyptian motif used in the decorations and paintings at the local Masonic Hall. A word of warning to those who try to establish a chronological first includes the fact that "Night on the Nile" was the theme of a regular Delta Tau Delta affair at George Washington University in 1957. The Delts there claimed it as their original idea too. Russell J. Parkinson Columbia, Mo. With reference to the controversy about the "Night on the Nile", we had one in the Spring of 1951. I have movies of the large Sphinx over the front door and the steps we used making plaster of paris "Death Masks" of each individual. Also I believe this was the second year of the party and that the idea originated with one of the West Coast chapters prior to that time. J. Edward Taylor Kansas 564 This year 1963 will be the fortieth that I have been privileged to be a member of Acacia Fraternity. During that time I have traveled many miles and met many people. Acacians have always been of the best. I hope
31
they always remain so. I think the new TRIAD is tops. I have not been able to understand all the criticism. Is it because the most vocal are opposed to change? If that be so, let us hope that is all that is involved. Remember, the life of a leader or innovator is never an easy one. Keep up the good work. Col. C. T. Caldwell St. Petersburg, Fla.
I have just received the latest issue of TRIAD. I noticed a rather large number of letters in this issue regarding the new ideas and the new format of the magazine. Let me be one to add my name to the list of "approvers" of the changes that have taken place. I think the editor is to be congratulated for his thoughtfulness in providing us with something other than a great number of pages of relatively useless information. John Rapp Columbia, Mo.
I am greatly disappointed that the TRIAD no longer gives much of any news of the various chapters. How can an alumnus know what progress other chapters throughout the country are making if he cannot find it in the TRIAD ? It seems to me that without that knowledge it is much more difficult to maintain interest. How about at least one issue a year that really tells what many, many chapters are doing achievements, activities, housing impr ovements etc. r ather than what only a few are doing? George E . DeWolf Los Angeles, Calif.

With regard to your December issue, page 1 - Night on the Nile National Dance, it's tough to believe that memories at California have become so frozen. Dave Ellis and I were delegates to the Conclave at Colorado during the summer of 1950 when I proposed the adoption of the Night on The Nile Dance to be held in the spring of each year. We at California had held one previously, and it was a great success. The entire chapter had helped with its planning and concept. E. H. Brenner, AlA California '53
