National Perspective by ROY C. CLARK Executive Secretary This Winter Issue of The TRIAD will be the first under the directi on o f the new Editor, Barry J. Lyerly. Barry is a member of the Colorado Chapter, where he was very active in Chapter affairs. He has since been extremely interested on the National level. He has been in close contact with the Central office, as well as with the printer of the magazine, and has many ideas for the improvement of The TRIAD. Our magazine will have a new format and will reflect his many new ideas for change and improvement. His appointment to this new post by your National Council reflects their and our confidence that he will do an outstanding job in improving our National publication. Your cooperation and support are urgently requested in order that he may serve Acacia in the manner you would like. Elsewhere in thi s Issue is a feature story on the 1966 Conclave. It was necessary to make a cha nge of location because facilities at Stillwater, Oklahoma were found not to be a v a ilable bec a use of da te conflicts. At the last meeting of the National Council the decision was made to hold the Conclave at the Jung Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, August 21-26. This famous Hotel in New Orleans--which will also be the scene of the 1966 National Interfraternity Conference--is under the management of Brother William A. Hendricks (Memphis State ) , who will be remembered favorably by those in attendance at the 1964 Conclave at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. Conclave arrangements are under the supervision of Na tional Treasurer L. W. Knapp, Jr. and Assistant to the Executive Secret a ry Ha rvey L. Logan. The host Chapter, Louisiana State, is already busily enga ged in a program designed to ma ke this the finest and best-attended of all Concl a ves. We have already been assured that National Founder Charles A. Sink will also be in a tte n da nce. On the basis of pledge reports, it appears that pledging results, for the most part, show a substantial increase over a year ago.
* * * * * * Right a long with the Cha pters, reports from the Colonies reflect a very satisfying pattern of improvement. Colonies at Ala bama, Georgi a , Tennessee, San Jose State, and Shippensburg a l l indicate such a degree of progress that it is anticipated that we will be receiv i ng petitions for cha rtering from most of them during the coming semester. In t h e de pa rtment of possible new Colonies , preliminary a pproval has been given fo r a new Colony a t the Univer s ity o f Houston. The program there will be sponsored by the Texas Chapter a nd Alumni, which is a r a ther l a rge guarantee of success. Ot he r Coloni zatio n po s sibilities will h a ve our at tent ion during the comi ng months of 19 66. ***** '~
Du:ing the Christma~ holidays, Rensselaer Chapter moved into its new Chapter house, wh1ch should solve 1ts hous1ng problem for some time to come. Information has already come throug~ about ~lans for a new house at Central State College, Oklahoma, the baby Chai?t~r, wh1ch cont1nues to make l ong strides ahead in every department of Chapter act1v1ty. ** * ** ~"
One of the most enjoyable features of the Annua l Meeting of the NIC is a luncheon sponso r ed by th.e National Council for all Acacians in attendance. At this year's meeting , held in Wash1.ngton, D. C., the following Acacians were in attendance: National President George F. Patterson, Jr. National Judge Advocate J. B. Beaird Executive Secretary Roy C. Clark Assistant to the Executive Secretary Harvey L. Logan Edwin P. Kohler, Assistant Dean of Georgia Tech Dudley Johnson, Dean of Men, University of Akron Richard F. Stevens, Assistant Dean of Students, University of Ne w Ha mpshire Topper Smith, Coordinator of Student Affairs, Long Beach State Undergraduate IFC Representatives Roger A. Warnke, Illinois Chapter Stephen T. Oakley, Purdue Chapter Thomas P. Hughes, LSU Chapter John W. Black, Penn State Chapter Alumnus Also of interest in connection with the NIC was the a ttendance of a delegation of George Washington Alumni at the concluding ba nquet. A reception the next evening, sponsored by the Trus tees of the George Washington Cha pter, was tendered to all Acaci a ns in the Washington area and at tended by approximately 80 alumni and wi ves. Although this Chapter has been dormant for several years, the alumni have continued to sponsor social events, as well as other regular meetings, during the year to k eep the Brothers in contact. This is a most stimulating tradition, unprecedented, and a fine example of Acacia spirit in the nation's Capitol.
* * * * * * The Kansas City Alumni Association continues its a ctivities on a very high level under t he Presidency of Dr. Sidney E. Ekblaw. A feature article on both Kansas City and George Washington Alumni Associations is p l anned for a subsequent TRIAD issue.
* * ** * * Featured speaker of the Annual Conference of Field Secretaries, sponsored by the College Fraternity Secretaries Association, held January 2-4, wa s Judge Advocate Beaird, who spoke effectively on Legal Liabilities of Fraternities and Their Chapters. Ca l Hultma n and Bill Fuller attended the Conference.
* * * * * * The Fall Semester has been one of frustration a s f a r as your Centra l office has been c oncerned, due to the a lmost total inadequa cy of office a ccommodations . In late September, a move was made from 1569 Sherma n Avenue to the Eva nston Inn, followed in ear l y December by another move to the North Shore Hotel, also in Evanston. We will c ontinue Post Office Box 1477 for mailing purposes, although the office itself is loc a t ed at 1611 Chi cago Avenue. We are pr oud to invite actives a nd alumni to visit us i n our new h ome when in this area.
* * * * * * A concluding comment: Let us think of the month of January a s the gate of the New Year. It is well to enter recognizing that 1966, as any new ye a r, pre s ents both an opportunity and a challenge. The opportunity offered in 1 9 66 is unlimited; the ye a r i s full of promise, and the outlook is bright. We should, however, first take a n inventory of ourselves. There's no use expecting the new year to be any better or mo r e fruit f ul than the old one, unless we strive for better and higher things than we did in 1965. There is a big difference between the thoughts ''I can'' a nd ''I will.'' If we ''will do'' the worthwhile things we ''can do,'' we will be quite different tha n we are. ''It's too much bother,'' is one excuse; ''It's too much work'' is anothe r; a third i s ''I haven't time;'' and a fourth might well be ''I don't know how.'' The will to ''do' ' is one of the greatest powers God h a s bestowed upon the human mind. The question facing all of us is this: Will you and I use this POWER this ye a r for th e advancement of Acacia?

FIIOM T H E ED I TOR I have been selected to serve as Acting Editor of the TRIAD- this presents both a personal challenge and an opportunity. I appreciate the opportunity and face the challenge with optimism. The TRIAD depend in the main, nevertheless, on the response of every Acacian. I cannot stress too strongly the need for support from every Chapter and interested member. Thi is, after all, our publication and voice. Support is especially important now that a new direction has been established for our publication. This new stress will endeavor to reach down to the chapter level whenever possible. Political, ideological, and legal issues will not be emphasized. It is time we began strengthening ourselves internally and not worry so much about matters which are best left to our lawyers. There is no need to convince ourselves that the Greek system has merit-we know it has! The best way to convince others of this fact is to strengthen our own foundations and thereby set an example of excellence. In line with this new policy this first issue will feature an article written by the L.S.U. Chapter in the form of an open letter. We are featuring this chapter because of the success it has enjoyed of late and because we wish all Acacians to realize what a fantastic location New Orleans is for the 1966 Conclave. It is our hope that this year's Conclave will be the biggest, most productive, best attended, and most enjoyable to date. This goal is strengthened immensely by the southern hospitality we can expect from the L.S .U. Chapter. In addition, a short feature will be included on the Acacia colony at Georgia. The progress of all our colonies should not be overlooked. Roy C . Clark, Executive Secretary, will bring us up to date on happenings at National Headquarters in the section National Perspective, and a short essay expressing my own opinion will also be presented. I hope the new direction of the TRIAD meets with your approval. Please drop me a line informing me of your feelings about this new approach, articles presented, and / or any ugge tions relating to the TRIAD. Fraternally yours,

quite a delicacy in the Baton Rouge area. Despite all this we kept on rushing and came out with a 48-man pledge class, the largest in the history of Acacia at L.S.U. Shortly after rush week we held our fall initiation. Besides our own group of six outstanding initiates, we had the pleasure of initiating five members of the Mississippi State Chapter. With such an outstanding group of initiates and our 48-man pledge class we certainly had something to talk about. An outstanding feature of our fall initiation was the occurrence of Roll Number 200. For a chapter in its tenth year, we considered this quite an accomplishment. Holding Roll Number 200 is Brother James Brown. Brother Brown is a sophomore in premed. and has so far maintained a perfect 3.00 average. He is also serving as President of Phi Eta Sigm;:t, Freshman Honorary Society. Life here at Acacia, as it is anywhere else, is not composed of only one happy success after another. On October 9 seven members of our brotherhood were in a tragic auto accident in which the life of Brother George Petrie was lost. Brother Petrie's death sent the fraternity into a state of shock. Brother Petrie, who was a member of our fall initiation class, was buried on Monday, October 11 in New Orleans with fifty Acacians attending and several of the Brothers serving as pallbearers. Slowly but steadily the fraternity pulled itself back together and kept on going. Homecoming arrived and Acacia took a proud third place in Homecoming decorations. Then we were visited by Brothers Harvey Logan and L. W. Knapp who brought us news that New Orleans had been selected as the sight of the 1966 Conclave. We feel greatly honored to be hosts to Conclave and we know that we could have no better assistant than the City of New Orleans. Our pledge program with its strong emphasis on scholarship has been very successful this semester. The I.F.C. at L.S.U. has what we consider a unique pledging system . Any pledge not having a 0.8 at mid semester must be dropped from fraternity roll . For this reason we have put much emphasis on scholarship in our pledge program. Apparently we have been successful, for we kept 83 % of our pledges while the average drop due to grades was 40 % . Looking back over the first ten weeks of school, we find that our kitchen has, for the first time in years, operated in line with its budget. This success, we feel, is due to Mom Kelley. Mrs. Lillian Kelley is new

at our house. She accepted her pos1t10n promlSlng only to do her very be t, and she ha amazed u . Beside running the kitchen in smooth order, he ha become a very close friend of every member of the chapter and is a perfect haste s. No fraternity could ask for a finer housemother. We have been able to point to a fine rush, a good pledge program, and sound kitchen management a the building blocks for Acacia at L.S.U. Equally important are the strides being taken by individuals on the campu . Venerable Dean Jim Lewis is an active worker in the L.S.U. Union. Currently he is Chairman of the Program Council, which regulates all programming activities. Last year Brother Lewis produced West Side Story as a tudent musical while serving as Music Theater Committee Chairman of the Union. Brother David Graham is, among othe1 thing, Chairman of the Union Games Committee and past President of the College of Engineering. Both Brothers Lewis and Graham are members of Omicron Delta Kappa. Brother J arne Smith is President of the College of Education and an International Trustee of Circle K. Brother R. C . Britt is Chairman of the Union Celebrity Showca e Committee and head of the Department of Student Proposals. Brother Tom Hughes is Trea urer of the Interfraternity Council. Pledge Trainer Calvin McMurray i a Cadet Major in A.F.R.O.T.C. and is a Group Commander. Brother Jeff Hinger is director of W .L.S.U., the campu radio tation. Not to neglect the cholastic ide of life, Brothers Tom Smith ( 1964) and Barry Graham ( 1965 ) were recognized by the L. B. Lucky Award and the Phi Kappa Phi Award a the out tanding fre hmen on campu chola tically during their respective fre hman years. So there you have itcacia at L.S.U.

TRIAD ESSAY The
Falla~y
of
X~IHHO~~OJ
Criticism is occasionally directed at fraternities for what seems to me a false issue. These critics claim, and rightly so, that fraternities demand from their members conformity to certain goals or value patterns. What is fallacious about this argument is that we all, Greek or nonGreek, conform to certain values. Fraternities demand a certain degree of conformity to common ideals - that is why the Greeks can exist as an unique group of individuals. It is the common values we, as Greeks, share which accounts for our unity and common bonds. Although we share unique values, we are not unique in demanding some degree of allegiance to ideals: from the smallest group association (the family ) to the largest (the nation ) a certain amount of unity is achieved through the existence of common ideals and/ or aspirations. Even the so-called "non-conformists" (e.g., Vietniks, demonstrators, etc. ) conform to a set of standards and ideals which sets them apart. Within the value pattern we Greeks accept there is a lot of room for diversity. One of the qualities of a strong Chapter is that it has admitted m en with differing talents and interests. When these talents are combined to form a Chapter , the r esult is a group sharing a community of common ideals, but with differing views on the best m eans for achieving these ends. By combining their ideas and talents a¡ Chapter utilizes the diverse p ersonalities which make-up the organization. Through democratic procedures each individual is able to express himself, and through diverse activities each member contributes to those areas in which h e is most capa ble. R a ther than restricting freedom, fraternities open the door to n ew experiences-allowing individuals to grow more fully. The issue of conformity, therefore, is quite irrelevant: everyone conforms to some set of values. The people who cry "conformist! " are actually conforming themselves. What they are usually attacking are sp ecific values of a p articular group with which they disagree. However , that is another ma tter. The fact tha t eludes the compreh ension of these " non-conformists" is that they too are really conformists.

Victories At Washington State
Brothers Bleed For Boulder Last spring at the University of Colorado in Boulder, the interfraternity blood bank was instituted. This program was designed to provide free blood credits for the citizens of Boulder and lifetime blood credits for fraternity members who donate seven pints during their undergraduate study. In support of this program, nearly all the members of the Colorado Chapter of Acacia have contributed once, and we are waiting to contribute a second pint. Thus far, the fraternities have contributed over 1500 pints of blood.
Several success stories can be told about the Acacia Chapter at Washington State University. Acacian Bob Anderson was elected Senior Class President. Laurels also go to Bill Bain and Mike Gordon for finishing first in intramural tennis. In additio:1, the Chapter scored first in scholarship last semester with a 2.75 grade point average. Finally, another trophy was added to the Washington State case by winning second place in the Homecoming sign display. Acacia is certainly on the move at Pullman.
Rensselaer Chapter Obtains New House
Named Student Council President
Rensselaer Acacia has completed negotiationsforoccupationofa newer chapter house, doubling present housing capacity. The new house is located at 4 Sunset Terrace in a wooded residential area of Troy, N.Y. Moving is to be completed by January I, 1966. The increased capacity, the highly desirable neighborhood, and the tremendous asset to rushing make this move a significant advance for Rensselaer Acacia.
John L. Michel, Ill, a Penn State Acacian, was recently elected president of the Student Council of Penn State's Division of Counseling. John heads up a program to assist members of the Division who are making changes in their academic goals at Penn State. In addition to his present position, John also played a major role in the freshmen orientation program this fall. He was recently tapped for membership in Androcles, a junior men's honor society.

Scholarship Prevails At K. U. One of the most talked-about and complimented displays at homecoming at Kansas University this year was the display at Acacia Fraternity. Since mid-term examinations coincided with the week preceding homecoming activities , the fraternity decided to concentrate on scholarship rafher than spending endless hours on an elaborate display. Although it
took no prizes (!), Acacians heard many compliments on the "surprise nature" of their display. With Acacia's location near the K.U. stadium, few persons missed it. Incidentally, scholarship paid offthe chapter 'h ad the highest mid-term grades in their recent history. In the photo Kansas' Venerable Dean Carl Weinaug, originator of the display idea, holds a sign emphasizing the purpose of the display.

Human Service: Acacian Helped Evacuate 1500 In July Korean Flood Second 'Lt. Marc G. Dancause, an Acacian alumnus from the University of New Hampshire ( 1964), was recently named one of nine Americans in Korea to receive the Seoul Junior Chamber of Commerce's "Best Neighbor" award. Brother Dancause, serving with the 547th Engineer Company (Float Bridge), 36th Engineer Group, I Corps, was cited for his work during the mid-July floods, the worst to hit Korea in 40 years. On July 15, during the height of the floods , he saw a great number of Korean families along the Han River bed. He led his platoon and with the aid of rubber boats, evacuated 1,500 persons to safety.

With all that publicity it was quietly learned that Dr. David Osborne, a 1936 alumnus of Penn State and Acacia had assisted in the operation. Dr. Osborne is Chief of Surgery at the National Medical Naval Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where the operation was performed.

'
ACACIA on the move at the University of Georgia
~¡
\
The Acacia Colony at the University of Georgia is definitely moving. After a shaky beginning while struggling to gain members, the colony is doing quite well. During the colony's first year on campus, meetings were held in a conference room in a student center. The colony grew steadily from its original group of three pledges and an advisor. These men worked unceasingly to build an Acacia colony on the Georgia campus. Gradually more and more men were pledged, thus insuring a solid membership foundation for the following year. The major social function at this time was a pledge dance held in early spring quarter. At the end of the 1964-65 school year, the pledges returned to their homes with hopes of a bright future for the colony which they had helped start. During the summer Dr. Hershel Lester, the fraternity's faculty advisor, worked with great zeal and optimism to obtain a house for the colony. After many lengthy discussions and negotiations, Dr. Lester finally obtained a satisfactory financial agreement for a suitably located house near the University campus. The house was ready for occupancy by the start of the school year 1965-66.
The pledges returned to school with great enthusiasm concerning their fraternity house. Nearly everything in Acacia's "new" house had to be painted, repaired, or replaced. The pledges, however, taxing their ingenuity and pocketbooks, managed to accomplish the necessary tasks. Soon the house was reasonably livable. The pledges were then ready to engage in the first campus event for the year-homecoming. The Georgia Colony of Acacia felt that it should not let inexperience and "newness" interfere with complete participation in such an event. Thus, work commenced on a homecoming display. The pledges derived much pleasure from competing with the larger fraternities on equal terms. Along with the homecoming display, the Acacia Colony held a homecoming dance. This dance was the pledges first chance for an enjoyable evening together. Several projects have been undertaken. In order to better acquaint Masons in Georgia with Acacia, an article concerning the fraternity and its relationship to Masonry was written and is currently in the process of being published in a Masonic magazine. In keeping with the Christmas spirit a party was held for several young underprivileged children at Acacia's house. The fraternity was joined in this project
by the pledge class of the Delta Zeta sorority. The most successful project of the year, however, has been the recent Parent's Day Program. The pledges' parents were invited to visit the fraternity house and to attend a buffet luncheon. The colony has also held several purely social functions this quarter. Mostly in the form of discotheque dances, these parties have provided much needed relaxation for the hard working pledges. The colony has received several letters from chaperones and university officials commending the manner in which the parties are conducted as well as the gentlemanly behavior of the pledges. This not only pleases the pledges but causes the university officials to look on Acacia with a favorable attitude. This type of attitude is always beneficial to a new fraternity. The colony has many hopes for the future. The most important of these is, of course, obtaining a charter sometime this year. The colony consists of a spirited brotherhood of young men extremely anxious to become full-fledged brothers in Acacia Fraternity. Everything possible is being done to bring this hope closer and closer to realization. The Georgia Colony of Acacia hopes to join the ranks of the worthy chapters of Acacia National Fraternity.

UNLESS the fraternity gives m en higher ideals of life it is not fulfilling the purpose which its founders had in mind. Unless it influence i such as to make men more hone t in their work and in their business relations; cleaner in their lives and cleaner in their talk, more temperate in eating and more temperate in drinking, better student and better men and better citizens, it is failing to do the work that it hould do. If a man can be a drone or eli olute, or dishonest, or vulgar, and not lose standing in his fraternity there i something the matter with his fraternal ideal . The fight against fraternitie i based upon the fact that p eople on the outside ay that fraternity life lead men to dissipation and extravagance, makes them loafers and flunk ers and nobs, and unfits them for th e serious worthy work of life. The intimate relations which I have had with fr at ernity m en for almost half m y life have not led me to such conclusion . In every organization with which I am acquainted there are highminded men who respect their obligations and not only live up to the id eals of the organization them elves but who do all in their power to h elp their brothers do so. The purpose of every fraternity man should be to m agnify the ideal of his fraternity, to make them something more than mere entiment, to exemplify them more fully in his own daily life, and to impress them more forcefully upon the undergraduate members with whom he comes in contact. It i only through the vitalizing of its ideals that the fraternity will come into the respect which it deserves. -
