Smoke and water damage also took a toll on furnishings, clothing, books, etc. The University initially provided free housing to all the displaced men until January 25. The University then was able to offer the brothers reduced rent prices in an off-campus housing facility for upper division students until DU was able to find an adequate facility into which to move. At the time, Beta Theta Pi was in the process of getting their final approval from the city to move into their new house, thus making a house available for DU to occupy starting February 16. That house is at 282 S. 10th Street in San Jose, and ironically it is the house DU occupied from 1982-95. The owner of the house is the widow of a DU alumnus who was very involved in our alumni chapter and is the namesake for one of SJSU DU’s endowed scholarships (Taffy Sceva, Lehigh ‘48). The temporary house on 10th Street is able to house only 12 men, so those not living in the facility have rented apartments, decided to stay in the upper division student house (at the reduced rate) or moved into the dorms. All said and done, everyone is just happy that starting February 16 DU has a chapter house. As for the reconstruction of the DU house, the alumni have stated that they would like to see the house rebuilt and livable by September 1. The construction manager who will be running the project said that is a very optimistic date and that depending on weather and any issues with permits, it could slide a month or two longer. Our Brothers can certainly use our help. Rodney Blaco at 408-298-1922 has been coordinating needs and donations for the chapter overall and individuals. On Saturday, January 29, over 40 alumni members from the San Jose Chapter gathered for a fundraiser to benefit the undergraduates. A vast array of guests were in attendance spanning the chapter’s long history, including alumni from the late 1940s through recent graduates in 2000. The event, held at Tres Gringos in downtown San Jose was organized by Scott Emmert ’97, Bob Pedersen ’97, and Rodney Blaco, Cal Poly ’96/San Jose ’05, in an effort to raise funds for brothers who were most affected by the accidental fire. In addition to the alumni who attended the event, dozens of others supported the effort through financial donations, all of which will go directly to the fire victims. The organizers are happy to report that the event raised nearly $8,000, more than double the amount for which they had hoped. 4

35 YEARS OF SERVICE February 7 saw the observance of 35 years of dedicated and loyal service to Delta Upsilon by Jo Ellen Walden, Office Manager at the Fraternity’s general offices in Indianapolis. Jo Ellen received many gifts, beautiful flowers, and warm wishes from those who have known and worked with her over the years. Our thanks to Miss Walden for her hard work, capable skills, patience, and commitment to Delta Upsilon Fraternity for 35 years.

DU’S NEWEST ADDITION TO STAFF At the beginning of the calendar year, our traveling staff was joined by Ryan T. Kiernan, Iowa ’04, who graduated with a major in Political Science and Communication Studies. Ryan joined Delta Upsilon as a sophomore in the fall of 2001 and immediately became involved. He held several positions including secretary, philanthropy and president. While serving as chapter president, Ryan also served as executive director for Greek Week at the University. During his time as an undergraduate, Ryan enjoyed participating in all of the philanthropies and events that the Greek community offered, most notably Dance Marathon.

Ryan said he took the DU staff position because he wanted to share his experiences with other undergraduate brothers to ensure that they have similar positive fraternity experiences.

Arlington Chapter The Arlington Chapter raised over $600 in the fall in support of cancer research through the Lance Armstrong Foundation

by selling the yellow wristbands.The Harvey Atchinson MVP award, which is given to the most Distinguished Arlington Alumnus this year went to Michael Enger, Arlington ’75. On a more somber note, the Arlington Chapter will always remember Kent Schnable, Arlington ’88, who passed away December 1, 2004. Condolences go to his family and many friends.

Culver-Stockton Chapter In the fall the Culver-Stockton Chapter of Delta Upsilon was able to move into a brand new home after a tornado destroyed their house in May of 2003.The new house is 12,000 sq. ft. with a high efficiency heating and cooling system, tile flooring, emergency lighting and sprinkler system, and a maximum capacity for 33 people. “I wish all the campus housing could be built like it” said the director of the Culver-Stockton physical plant. And the men living there couldn’t be happier, “I love it! It’s bigger and easier to keep clean than the old house” said junior theatre major Tony Leutkenhaus (VP of LP and model initiate of 2003). On December 3 the men of the CulverStockton Chapter organized a small philanthropy at the Canton Christian Church that included spending time with the youth of the church and getting their Christmas lists to Santa himself.The youth

group met during the afternoon but there were still 11 brothers able to attend and get a one on one ratio with the kids. Matt Holt did a great job with his first task as philanthropy chairman, and hopes to keep up ties with the local youth groups.

Kent State Lafayette Chapter Chapter The DU Men at Kent State raised over $2,000 by hosting the sixth annual “flash ‘n’ duck run” during Homecoming. Each year about 10 DU Brothers relay-run the football for the homecoming game from the fraternity rock on the front campus to President Carol Cartwright at Dix Stadium.This year President Cartwright rode on the back of a Harley-Davidson to the center of the field while holding the game ball. Donations benefit the Dylan J. F. Carlton Scholarship Fund. Carlton was the son of the chapter’s advisor, Donna Carlton. He died three years ago from complications of a congenital heart defect

It was a privilege for the Delta Upsilon Men of the Lafayette Chapter to present Ross Wiener, principal partner and policy director of the Education Trust, speaking on “No Child Left Behind.” Part of the campus speaker series, this presentation on October 28, 2004, in Kirby Hall of the Civil Rights Auditorium was open to the public.

Minnesota

Chapter

On January 28, the men of Delta Upsilon Minnesota came together to start a new tradition.This new weekly event is called “DUs teaching other DUs how to do stuff.” While the name is rather cumbersome, it is a quality program to build both brotherhood and learn something before our normal “Friday Night At DU” social activities.The first installment featured Tim Carson ’02, a veteran of the current Iraq war, teaching the chapter about the inner workings of the US military. In addition to explaining

Nebraska Chapter On October 7, 2004,Tommy Lee took the University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL) campus by storm, “abandoning a life of rock and rehab to experience college life at UNL.” Tommy spent a little over a month shooting an NBC reality TV show tentatively titled “Tommy Lee Goes Back to College.” Some months before shooting was set to start, the show’s producers contacted Nebraska Chapter President, Robbie Adam, in response to recommendations by campus officials. While on campus,Tommy decided that a little Greek education was in order, and the brothers of DU were more than up for the challenge.They met with Tommy on October 10, offering to tell him anything he would like to know about the Greek system at Nebraska. IFC President

the chain of command and the overall structure of the Armed Forces, Brother Carson discussed the distinct geographic regions used by the military, plus explaining the Special Forces in depth. The second week of the series saw the presentation by Pete Fitzke ’03 and Joel Mulder ’01, explaining the proper way to write a résumé.They gave us tips both from books on the subject and from personal experiences.There were many questions, ranging from “Who is an appropriate reference?” to “What do I list for work experience if I have no experience in the field?” were answered. About a third of the chapter attended and no one walked away without having his questions answered. and Brother Scott Peterson ’05 led the discussion on what being in a fraternity was all about. Hazing was a major topic of interest for Tommy, as it is for every person thinking about joining a fraternity. The chapter members assured him that DU’s founding principles were put in place to discourage hazing and to appose the secrecy upon which most fraternities are founded.

Missouri Chapter

The Missouri Chapter took first place overall in Homecoming and the house decorations took first place as well. Mizzou Homecoming remains the first and largest Homecoming celebration in the country. Our most recent initiation on January 29 saw 26 new brothers join the Fraternity. Our initiation ceremony included Dave Maguire, Southern Illinois ’73, Executive Director of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, who gave the Charge.

St. Norbert

Chapter

St. Norbert’s annual food drive is a continuing success and a large part of the credit goes to Brothers Eric Guzowski ’06 and Steve Hunt ’04. The newspapers and TV news channels were contacted and then the brothers set up boxes in all seven residence halls. Each member of the chapter was asked to donate 25 items. DU collaborated with

the residence hall meal plan conversion program asking students to donate one of their cafe meals to charity.The cafeteria then took all the meals, converted that into cash, and ordered a special shipment for the shelter.The donations for the last two years has gone to the Northeast Wisconsin Community Shelter (NEW) in downtown Green Bay.This year the chapter gained coverage by Channel 2 WBAY News, the Green Bay Press Gazette, and the De Pere Journal.

ALUMNI NEWS EDGAR “NED” F. HEIZER, JR., Northwestern ’51, was presented with the Delta Upsilon Distinguished Alumnus Award during the Educational Foundation’s meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona in early-February. Brother Heizer served as Chairman and CEO of the Heizer Corporation, his venture capital firm based in Chicago, from 1969 to 1986, during which time he earned recognition in the finance world as “one of the great pioneers in the industry.” He was most recently honored with the Illinois Venture Capital Association’s Stanley C.

Ned served as both Chairman of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity and later as the Chairman of the DU Educational Foundation. He still serves on the Board of Trustees for the Foundation. His leadership to both entities was most generously given and this award is a much deserved recognition for his support and active participation in Delta Upsilon.
