planning well, and are the beneficiaryof good financial planning, considerprotecting DU's future by sharingyour good fortune through regulargifts to your college, to DU and toyour chapter. Almost every gift,whether to an annual fund-raisingcampaign or a capital drive, has sometax advantages for you. If we asalumni leave a strong financial legacyfor colleges and universities and forDelta Upsilon, we're securing thefuture for generations of DUs tocome.

The second article I commend toyou is our Health and Wellnessfeature. This issue is on testicularcancer and the importance of monthlyself-examination. This is an idealarticle to copy and share with yourmale relatives and co-workers. Thiscancer, deadly if untreated, is easilydetected and has one of the highestcure rates of all cancers if found early.

Best wishes for a good spring,good health and good finances!

Two recurring Quarterly featurestake a look this time at ways to protectyourself.

First, three DU financial plannersponder what DUs might do to protecttheir personal finances. Whether youare just out of college, midway throughyour career, or nearing or enteringretirement, you'll find good advice.

Delta Upsilon has always been inthe planning business. We provide aplan for young men to discover theirdreams and set out to achieve them.Provided the man puts forth the effort,we promise as brothers to steer himtoward paths that payoff and awayfrom those with known hazards.

Our fraternal plan, and the soundaspects of a good financial plan, shineforth in our founding principles. If aman believes in Justice and Character,he'll strive always to do the rightthings in all aspects of life, eventhough they may not be as profitable,convenient or quite as much fun in theshort run.

If he wants to promote Friendship,he'll encourage his brothers as theyfollow challenging paths, and he'lltreat other people with genuineinterest, seeking no unfair advantage.

Regarding Liberal Culture, whichin our founders' days meant believingin the triumph of open-mindedlearning as a means to improvesociety, we urge our members to studybroadly and become well-roundedmen, ready for all challenges.

Those principles serve us wellwhen it comes to financial matters:forego the quick buck, invest for thelong haul, help other people, take nounfair advantage, learn all you can,know why you're investing.

We strive to protect Delta Upsilon.If you have protected yourself by

Letters to the Editors Elitism Can MakeFor A Better World

In Search of Justice

Dear Editors:

Today I received my son's January1996 Delta Upsilon Quarterly. My son,Laurence H. Jones, Jr. was a member ofDelta Upsilon Fraternity since his fresh­man year at the University of Maine atOrono. During his senior year atU.M.O., he was elected to serve as presi­dent of his local chapter. However, hechose to serve as treasurer instead, dueto his many commitments.

In August 1993, Larry left Maineand went to Baltimore, Maryland. Heintended to establish residency there andplanned to work and attend graduateschool at Johns Hopkins University.Unfortunately, less that three monthslater, Larry was murdered on the streetsof Baltimore. To date, the Baltimorepolice have made no arrests for thiscrime. In November 1995, Mark Tomlinfrom the Baltimore Police Departmenttelephoned me. He identified himself asthe cold case squad shift commander.Mr. Tomlin stated that the cold casesquad had selected my son's case, andthey would be giving this case "individu­al attention." He went on to say that hissquad had the assistance of the F.B.I.and he hoped that they would possiblybe able to solve the case by Christmas,as a "gift" to me.

In December, Sgt. Roger Nolantelephoned me. He said he was alsowith the cold case squad and they were"taking the case back to the beginning"to be certain that no clues had beenoverlooked.

In late January, 1996, I telephonedSgt. Nolan to ask if there had been anyprogress on the case. I was told that thecold case squad had not actually takenover the case, but rather they were giv­ing the homicide detective (RichardPetry) assistance, since his workloadwas so heavy. I was told there were nonew developments and the case was at astandstill. Needless to say, this shockedme, since for nearly three months I hadbeen thinking the case had been receiv­ing "individual attention."

4 DELTA UPSILON QU,IRTERLI'/APRIL 1996

For over two years, I have beenstruggling to see justice done in thiscase. I have written and telephonedinnumerable government officials, ask­ing for help. In September 1995, mydear husband, Laurence, Sr., died veryunexpectedly. I think that the stress andpain of our son's loss finally became toomuch for him to bear.

I was interested to read in theQuarterly that one of Delta Upsilon'sprinciples is the "Advancement ofJustice" and also that the motto is"Dikaia Upotheke ...Justice our Founda­tion." Since Delta Upsilon supports andhonors justice, I hope that you will assistme in my struggle to see justice done formy son, your brother.

The Baltimore Police recently toldthe editor of our local newspaper (MarkWoodward of the Bangor Daily NeHlS)that the police appreciated hearing frompeople regarding my son's case becauseit gives them "encouragement" to con­tinue working to solve this crime. I amasking that DU add another voice in "en­couraging" the Baltimore Police to con­tinue efforts to bring this case to a justconclusion. I will deeply appreciateyour efforts in my son's behalf.

Dear Editors:

Brother R. P. Clark's article on elit­ism in "The Advocate" column of theJanuary Quarterly tells it like it is.

But what caused some academics toget their knickers into such a twist overelitism? Two horrendous world confla­grations plus miraculous technologicaladvances all in less than half a centu-ry - produced an unique intellectualmalaise. On one hand, mankind wit­nessed previously unimagined horror,savagery, and destruction. On the other,phenomenal advances in science andtechnology, with an exponential growthand availability of knowledge. Andhanging over it all, the mushroom cloud.

Socialism, which had beenadvanced by idealists as a panacea forall the world's ills, had taken a nastytotalitarian turn, but the new academicsocial engineers, in their ivied, tenuredsecurity looked the other way as socialiststates refined and improved on all theold evils of capitalism. The party lineproscribed elitism as anathema. Every­one must be made equal. The talentedmust not be allowed to outstrip theuntalented. A man must not be blamedfor what an evil capitalist society hascaused him to perpetrate. And on and onand on toward mediocrity!

Most social engineers never learned,or conveniently ignored, the primary lawof nature - the survival of the fittest.That law is immutable. The absolute bestthat any society can do with its socialengineering is to offer everyone an equalopportunity to break from the startinggate. After that, as in any race, the fieldwill string out, and the winner's circlewill never be crowded. That's just theway it is in the real world.

An enlightened elitist philosophypromotes civilized excellence. But with­out compassion, unbridled egocentricelitism can also produce great evil andmisery. Tens of thousands of graves inAmerican military cemeteries all overthe world attest to that. However, wehave three infallible guidelines - ourConstitution, the Ten Commandments,and easiest and best of all, the Golden

Rule. Elitism within these confines canonly make a better world for all. That'swhat Delta Upsilon is all about!

Brother RemembersDD's Shining LightsDear Editors:

I have received the January issue ofthe Quarterly and have read with partic­ular interest the awarding of theDistinguished Alumnus Award to four of"DU's Shining Lights." Having agedcloser, nearer to the outer edges of theFraternity's active circle, I was delight­ed and surprised that I personally knowtwo of those honored.

When I was the lone and naive fieldrepresentative under Jay Grimes in early1957, I wended my way each morning

through the canyons of New York Cityfrom my quarters at the Phi GammaDelta club to the office of DU onMadison Avenue. In the course ofpreparations to head into the field,Charlie Prutzman was often in the officeand he always had an encouraging"word" for the future.

When I found myself in the veryunfamiliar country of Chapel Hill, it wasW. D. Watkins who was the gracious andwelcoming presence. It was not a solidpicture, as I recall, in the North Carolinafledgling chapter; "Mr. Watkins" waseternally optimistic, and obviously,rightly so. We crossed paths severaltimes during my short service with DUand I still don't know how "W. D." istranslated !.

Just wanted to add my P.S. endorse­ment and congratulations on two men soaptly chosen to receive this highest honorand award. And I certainly savored thememories stirred as I read their stories.

Knowing Charlie and Mr. Watkins a bitfrom the past assured me the Fraternitychooses well those honored.

Always enjoy reading news of theFraternity in the Quarterly. Times havechanged - and by comparison to thosedays in the late' 50s, largely for thebetter. And when Northwestern goes tothe Rose Bowl, the horizons look veryhopeful.

"What should Idowith my money?"

Spoken or not, that's the heart ofthe matter when it comes to financialplanning. The answers depend on awide range of issues: your incomeand financial condition today, yourlikely income tomorrow, how longyou 'd like to or can or must work,what you want to do in retirement,what pension funds may be available,how much risk you are willing to tol­erate in investments, special needs ordesires of your family, andpersonal traits like lifestyle preferenc­es, savings propensity, and charitabletendencies.

We all hear investment advice. Itcomes from many angles, some ob­jective, some with the seller in mind.We thought it might be helpful toQuarterly readers to hear from someDDs in the field.

6 I>F:I.TA UPSILON QUA RTERLI'/APR IL 1996

For purposes of the articles, wedivided our brethren into three agegroups, and asked a member of eachgroup to share some thoughts applica­ble to men of that age. Jim McKay,Syracuse '82, takes a look at theyoungest of those three groups, atmen fresh from college to about 40 orso, getting established in their careers.

For the middle group, roughlyages 40 to 60, we turned to WarrenWandling, Kansas '58, who looks atthe men in the wealth accumulationstage in the two decades beforeretirement.

Finally, for our more senior mem­bers, we asked Ed Ripke, Wisconsin'56, to share some thoughts for mennearing or in retirement, mindful ofthe need for income, long-term careand leaving something for children, orthe abundance of worthy causes.

We make no guarantees that allthese gems of wisdom are right foryou. But we do encourage you toread all three articles, since eachsparks questions and considerationsthat may well apply to your circum­stances, present or future. Certainly,they will get you thinking, and that'sa major part of any investment plan.

gage may not be enough.Sometimes a long-term disability

can be more financially devastating thana premature death. How would you payyour bills if you had no income for acouple of years? For a 35 year old per­son in this country, the chance of beingdisabled for 90 days or more by age 65is 40 percent. Many of you may havedisability insurance through youremployer, and a typical plan would payyou 60 percent of earnings. Be awarethat if the employer pays the premiumfor the insurance, your benefit would betaxable. Remember this when figuringout if your coverage meets your family's

Successful financial planning reallycomes down to two key steps: settinggoals and taking action. Start by identify­ing and prioritizing your goals andobjectives. Then figure out where youare today by preparing your own balancesheet (assets versus liabilities) andincome and expense statement. From ahard look at these, you can determinehow much you can allocate toward yourgoals from existing dollars and frommonthly savings.

All the financial planning in theworld won't help if you don't takeaction. Procrastination is the majorroadblock between you and financialsuccess. How many times have youheard someone say, "I wish I had startedsaving ten years ago." Getting started canbe the toughest part of financial plan­ning, so resolve to get started today.

When you do take action to imple­ment your plan, here are some things tothink about.

A sound money managementphilosophy strikes a balance among fourkey areas:

- cash reserves- adequate protection- fixed assets- equity assets (stock)Cash reserves are dollars available

for emergencies or opportunities thatarise. A sound rule of thumb is to havethree to six months of living expensesset aside, depending on your situation. Acash reserve could be a checkingaccount, savings account, or money mar­ket fund, just someplace you can getmoney immediately.

Adequate protection means insur­ance, and this is money to protect thethings we can't afford to lose. When adeath occurs, there may be survivingfamily members with a need for moreincome to maintain their standard ofliving. In determining the right amountof life insurance you should considerdebts to be paid off, and the survivors'income and expenses. Just havingenough life insurance to pay the mort-

government bonds. Whil e the principalvalue of these investments can fluctu atebefore maturity, these asse ts typically aremore conservative and pay regularinterest.

If your financial goals are four orfive years or longer, you will probabl y bebetter off in equity asse ts - stocks . Youwill have greater oppor tunity for growthin the stock market , so assuming you arecomfortable with some risk and have along-term time horizon , stocks are theplace to be. Over the last 5 and 10 years,the stock market as measured by theS&P 500 has averaged over 15 percentreturn per year.

An easy way to invest in the stockmarket is through mutual funds. In amutu al fund, investors pool their moneythrough a management company and theportfolio manager will buy securitiesdepending on the objective of the fund .For instance, if your object ive is longterm grow th, you may select a fund thatinvests in blue chip stocks. You canchoose funds that match your risktolerance and allocate your investmentsin different funds such as internationalstocks, sma ll com pany stocks or bluechips. Some of the benefits of investingin mutu al funds include professionalmanagement and diversification. Since amutual fund has a portfolio manager, youdon't have to make the day-to-day buyand sell decisions, and diversificationreduces your risk by spreading yourinvestment dollars among a large numberof stocks. Be sure you understand whatfees and commissions apply to the fund syou choose .

Plan for Retirement by Warren A. Wandling, Kansas '58

3. Selection of where you are going

4. Rising costs of living. The lastfive years the average inflation has been3.5%, but in 1980 it was 14.3%. The costof living doubles every 20 years.

I suggest 10 solutions.1. We need to change our way of

thinking. We need to look at retirementyears; the first stage being between 65­75, second stage as 75-85, and the third85 and older.

l¥. Wandling

3. Financialresponsibili­ties areincreasing.People thatare in their50s todaysometimesreferred to asthe "sandwichgeneration" have younger children whoneed financial help and many times theirparents need financial assistance.

today couldlive 130 or140 years.

2. Figure out what your incomeand expenses will be when you areready to retire. Then figure out whatyou need to save today and what youhave to earn on that money after taxes tobe able to live the way you want to live.Keep in mind your Risk Propensity.

5) Taxes. We don't know whatWashington is going to do, but the taxsqueeze is really felt by everyone. About51 percent of all of our earnings current­Iy goes to taxes. This includes federal,state and other types of taxes paid ongoods and services.

Our older years should be ourgolden years not our nickel and dimeyears. So it is important to plan forretirement.

2. Living longer. We are all livinglonger and it's been said in somescientific communities that babies born

night with eyes like silver dollarsbecause you are worried about losingyour money or that the market may godown. Everybody likes to take riskswhen the market goes up. There arethose that have an awful hard time whenthe markets go down. But you shouldremember there are "two" kinds of risks:the marketplace risk, which we are allfamiliar with, and the inflation risk. If weare too conservative, our money can beeroded over the course of time. The onlything that has performed well over a longtime has been stocks.

After you know your Risk Propen­sity, then you should put together or havesomeone assist you in putting together astrategy designed just for you. I don'thave enough space to go into thetechnique of constructing a strategy, butone very basic element is to determinehow much money you are going to needor want when you retire. One way and agood way is to figure what you are livingon today. Many use anywhere from 75%to 100% of current income to decidewhat they want to live on when retired.

Looking toward retirement there arefive problems we face.

I. Source of income is declining.We are all familiar with the famous 3­legged stool of retirement. The three legsare made up of Social Security, pensions,and income and savings. Social Security- you know the situation SocialSecurity is in, not good. Pensions ­There are those people who have theirmoney in 40 Ik plans. Under theirselections they put their money in veryconservative investments and do not havethe chance to keep up with inflation or togrow to what they will need for retire­ment. Income and savings - savings isabout 3% in this country. It's very low,not only for this country but also on aninternational standard. It is a shaky three­legged stool.

Pre-retirement is that time between

our youth and when we retire. Pre­retirement means many things to manydifferent people. Some never plan toretire. Others plan to keep working at alesser pace even after they retire. Thereare those who think of pre-retirement asthose activities just before they actuallyretire: getting their affairs in order,adding up their assets, updating theirwills, using trusts of one form or another,etc. However, others think of pre­retirement starting when they are veryyoung and have their first lawn job orlemonade stand.

Certainly the more time we have toplan, the less money it takes. SylviaPorter, the well-known financial colum­nist, points out many of us have to foregosome of today's luxuries in order to havetomorrow's necessities. The younger westart planning, the less money it takes. Itis certainly more fun to spend moneythan it is to save, except for those whoare very concerned about theirtomorrows.

Whatever age we are, we need tohave an organized, systematic plan. Thatshould start with understanding whatyour Risk Propensity is. Risk Propensitymay be determined by drawing a straightline, putting a mark at the end of eachend of the line with a mark in the center.

On the one end you have a I and on theother you have a 10. If you are right ofcenter, the closer you get to 10, you havea higher Risk Propensity, that means youare comfortable with greater risks, If it isto the left of center, closer to I, you havea lesser risk tolerance. There are moresophisticated Risk Propensities whereyou are asked a number of questions, andthe score based on numerical scalesindicates where you fall. One classes youas a Risk Avoider, Risk Minimizer, RiskBlender, Risk Acceptor, or Risk Taker.

It doesn't matter how you are doingon your investments if you lie awake at

DELTA UPSILON QUAR1'ERLl'/APRIL 1996 9

Personal Financeto live. Both husband and wife shoulddecide this. So many times people moveto be close to their children only to getsettled and see their children get trans­ferred or moved.

4. Important to stay working.Many suggest that in the first stage (65­75) it is good to do some type of workreferred to sometimes as flex-retirementand work on special projects or do somekind of work; it also helps augmentretirement.

5. Another way to let your moneylast longer is to say "no" to the kids. Itisn't easy for any parents to say no totheir children. Of those who havealready retired, many are still helpingtheir kids through college or helpingthem buy a new house or loaning moneyso they can start a business or the grand­children's school, it can go on and onand take many precious dollars fromyour retirement. I had a client who usedto say one mom can raise three boys, butthree boys have a hard time taking careof one mom.

6. Accept the fact that you aregoing to die. Plan while you are stillvibrant and alert. Update your will ortrust. Work with any estate planningattorney, a good CPA, a good life insur­ance person who is a CLU, ChFC orCFP. Then, let your family membersknow what you have done. Don't lookfor bargains. It is one of the most impor­tant things you'll do to conserve yourestate. The Social Security departmenttells us there are 36,000 people in theUnited States over 100 years of age.

7. When planning for old age,consider some long-term care. Itshould cover home care and nursinghome care. The younger you are whenyou purchase it, the less expensive it is.

8. Invest. You must keep growingyour income. Years ago, if you wereyoung you had stocks and if you wereolder you had bonds. That isn't necessar­ily true today and it does take somegood counsel to stay current.

9. Risk really means risk. Marketsgo down and markets go up. But thereare two kinds of risks. One is the mar­ketplace risk which we are all so famil­iar with. The other risk is if we are tooconservative, our incomes can be eroded.I have a client who is in his 80s and hetold me once, he put all of his money inbonds and his spending power has notkept up with his lifestyle. Stocks certain­ly have stayed ahead of inflation.

10. Don't panic when the markethas a correction. It will go up and itwill go down - remember your RiskPropensity.

ConservationRetirement and doing things we

want to do is a happy thought. But notall of us will make it to retirement.Some will die during retirement. Keep inmind, if something should happen alongthe way, where does the cash come fromto support the children, get them throughcollege and bring income in for yourspouse to live on? As the old philoso­pher once said, nobody wants to die, buteveryone wants to go to heaven. Not funto talk about, but this is all part of pre­retirement planning.

Some say, "We don't need life insur­ance, we can sell our stocks, equipment,assets or use cash." This is true, but onlyif there is a market and if the owner doesnot want to conserve the business/assetshe or she worked so hard to acquire.How many people who have truly had alloptions proposed to them will choose touse up assets? At best, one only gets apercentage of the value of the itemsbeing sold. Why use $10,000 of cashwhen you can probably use less than10% of assets with the right kind of plan­ning and cash creation upon death?

A great tool for creation of cash islife insurance. Many people havearchaic, preconceived ideas about lifeinsurance. If you or your attorney orCPA think this way, they should updatetheir understanding! What we are not upon we are usually down on. I have heardsome folks suggest they would buy lifeinsurance, but only term insurance. Whathappens if the problem is not a term

problem but a continual problem? Estateplanning, funding a stock redemption, orcontinuing a buy-out on an ESOP areongoing rather than term problems.

My big concern is what happenswhen the insured, who was advised touse term as a solution for funding apermanent problem, gets to be 70 or 80years of age? Most people cannot affordpremiums at those ages, or if they can,don't care to pay them.

The late Don Barnes, a formercolumnist for The National Underwriter,once described the adage to Buy Termand Invest the Difference in thesewords, 'There is probably not a singleagent who has been active in the businessduring the past half-century who has notcome up against this seductive turn ofsophistry." It is futile to tell prospectsthat they are not likely to renew for aslong as they need coverage, and even lesslikely to figure out what the difference isand invest it sanely. Each of these actionsrequires a strong mind and impeccablebudgeting. Few people, even the agentswho sell it, can sustain such a programover the long-term.

Too many folks simply don'tunderstand the leverage and conservationof assets available through the use of lifeinsurance. They dismiss life insurance assimply not a good buy without consider­ing the myriad of benefits availablethrough the use of a properly designedproduct.

So, as you look at your wholeretirement plan, consider life insuranceand the right kind. There are goodcompanies that use life insurance withmutual funds which drive the policies.Some of those mutual funds have donevery well.

This has been brief, but hopefullywill give you some ideas on how toapproach putting together your retire­ment. Happy trails!

The easiest way to know what to dois to look at some examples of what notto do. The big error Gus made was notbuying any stocks. He held bonds whosevalue did not change as the cost of livingrose.

It is important to keepyour eye on the goa ls of preservingvalue and providing sufficient income,and to avoid the effec ts of some emo­tional responses to these investmentswhich may distract you from your goals.

Let me offer some anecdotes fromexperience.

Dad couldn't sell a stock if it had aloss, because that was an indica tion hehad made a mistake. He couldn 't sell astock with a gain, because he refused togive the IRS their due. I pondered this,and asked, "You mean we have to wait

Personal Financegoing research can help you see when astock is not keeping up, and could besold to buy a more promising issue.Every library has Standard & Poor sheetswith a two-sided review on companiesthat trade on the New York, American,and NASDAQ exchanges.

Sally never sold! So some of herstocks had costs below $1 a share.Wonderful, yes, but she didn't own anyof the names or upcoming industries thatare making new highs today. Be sure to

bought a very popular fund in 1957 andwe redeemed it in 1987 at a 30% loss ­even after the reinvestment of thedividends. The broker countered bysaying..."but they doubled their money!"Bill and Joan, you set your goal muchtoo low.

Executive Director's Page

Alcohol: #1ProblemA few weeks after the Januaryissue of the Quarterly reached its read­ers, I received a telephone call from aDU alumnus to discuss the comments Imade in the Executive Director's Page.We had an informative conversation andI asked him if he would mind puttinghis thoughts on paper so that theQuarterly Editors could consider print­ing his message. He did and I offer itto you.

Dear Brothers of Delta Upsilon:

In the last DU Quarterly, ExecutiveDirector Abe Cross pointed to alcoholas our Fraternity's #1 problem. I'mwriting to you because it's my #1 prob­lem, too - and I've found a solution.Some of you are alcoholics like me andhave no idea that you are in the grips ofsomething which will not let go. Youcan beat it only by surrendering. Therest of you know someone like me whodoesn't see his own problem or justwon't quit. You must acknowledge yourown powerlessness over his drinkingand deal with his behavior. My com­ments may help you to see what youare up against.

Alcoholism is the inability to con­trol one's drinking. It is still only par­tially understood by the medical profes­sion but is regarded as a disease. Ap­proximately 10% of mankind is afflict­ed. Generally, its victims are indistin­guishable from other people until theyingest alcohol. The phenomenon ofcraving (absent in "normal" drinkers)forces them to consume more thanintended. The only way for an alcoholicto avoid this physical compulsion isthrough total abstinence. Therefore,treatment deals with getting rid of themental obsession which always leads tothe first drink.

We drink because we desire theeffect produced by alcohol. For an alco­holic, it brings about changes in percep­tion and behavior which are useful inescaping a reality we don't like or don'tfeel equipped to handle.

It is a solution for living. The problemsour drinking creates are side effects thatcompound and eventually eclipse oureveryday fears. To recover, we mustlearn how to handle life in a healthy wayso we no longer have a need to resort tooblivion.

Like most college students, I foundthe freedom of being away from homeexhilarating. Fraternities attract morethan their share of alcoholics, becausewe (alcoholics) are drawn to people wethink share our enthusiasm for socialdrinking. My chapter neither helped norhindered what was a natural progressionfor me. At such a young age, most of usare still experimenting with mind-alter­ing substances and are unaware that wemay already have lost control. Mydrunkenness accelerated after graduationwhen I had more time and money to pur­sue my favorite hobby. I drank for eightmore years and quit at age 30.

Getting the attention of youngaddicts is extremely challenging. We allfeel bulletproof at 20. Most of us at thatage haven't anything to lose yet andequate alcoholism with homelessness.There are no quantity or frequencyguidelines (such as "x" number of beersper day) for identifying alcoholics. Butobserve a suspected alcoholic to see ifhe continues to make a special place inhis life for alcohol.

Spotting a problem drinker is mucheasier than helping him for one simplereason: no one can help him until he iswilling to help himself. It is of para­mount importance that those around himavoid the mistake of allowing his prob­lems to become theirs. Most attempts to"help" him through the problems causedby drinking just enable him to continuehurting himself and others. Unless hesuffers the complete consequences of hisown actions, there is no compelling rea­son for him to change. Hope for the bestand prepare for the worst. No one cansay (least of all the alcoholic) how farhe'll go to hang onto his best friend ­booze.

What can you do? How do you hostsocial events without feeding a potential­ly fatal habit in the process? A true alco­holic will find what he wants whetheryou provide it or not. No human powercan stop it. You do have the obligation toestablish standards and to enforce them.Alcohol abuse is no excuse for unaccept­able behavior. If your brother refuses oris unable to modify his conduct he canbe disciplined and offered help. I accept­ed treatment only after my employerissued an ultimatum.

He must have a way out - somethingto replace the alcohol. Without it he willlikely go insane (of course, an argumentcould be made that he is already). Oneoption is Alcoholics Anonymous, now61 years old with millions of membersworldwide. As an active member I canassure you that since our own continuedrecovery depends on helping others, anycall for help will be answered. Mostcities have a listing in the telephonedirectory for meeting schedules or indi­vidual consultation. Or you can writeAA World Services, Box 459, GrandCentral Station, New York, NY 10163.

Fraternally,Steve R.

Steve's story is true and it contains apowerful message. The Fraternity hasestablished and enforces a set of stan­dards when it comes to alcohol con­sumption in chapters. These standardsare intended to ensure chapters observeappropriate laws, reduce potential risk,and through education, help young DUsunderstand the potentially devastatingeffects of substance abuse.

As an aside, Steve asked that weprint his name with the last initial only.He does not wish to be viewed as aspokesman for AA. Instead, Steve wish­es to empower undergraduate leadersand offer insight on dealing with a verytragic affliction. For that, we are grate­ful for Steve's story.

Interfraternally,

Damage from the Kobeearthquake, and the nature ofhomes that survived it, hassparked interest in Japan inAmerican-style home-build­ing - and a DU is in posi­tion to take advantage of thedemand.

The traditional post-and­beam built Japanese homestook heavy hits in the 1995Kobe disaster, with 120,000homes collapsing. But noneof those was a two-by-fourframe constructed home.

Now Ted Tanase,Michigan '63, is working toenlarge the market forAmerican-style construction,which accounted for about4,500 home starts out of 1.5million in Japan last year.

Brother Tanase's firm,Pacific Housing Materials &Design of Bellevue, Wash.,has determined that theJapanese home-buildingindustry needs a one-stopshopping outlet, rather than awarehouse-style supplier todo-it-yourselfers and smallcontractors.

At present, the Japanesedistribution system is not cen­tralized as in the UnitedStates. It is highly fragment­ed, which means contractorsand laborers also are morespecialists and not generalistsable or willing to take on a

14 DELTAUPSILON QUARTERLY/APRIL 1996

two-by-four home projectwithout someone to showthem the ropes.

Tanase rejected the "bigbox" approach which workswell for American firms likeHome Depot. Instead, he'sdesigning a center with amodel home on about 5,000square feet and another10,000 square feet of ware­house space.

The model home willfunction as showroom for thebuilding materials, almost allof which will come from theU.S. At hand will be accessto support services like con­struction training, architectur­al and interior design, specsfor materials and support forwarranties and delivery.

Tanase is also envision­ing a phase-in relationship asJapanese home-builders learnthe quicker and cheaperAmerican building practices.Tanase's crews will build thefirst home as a contractorobserves and takes videos.On the next house, his com­pany will provide onlyframers and drywallers. Asthe process moves along,only a supervisor will be pro­vided until the Japanese con­tractor is comfortable withthe ability to manage the pro­jects alone.

Japanese post-and-beamconstruction uses many four­by-four posts, all of whichare load bearing. Since two­by-four construction usesmany more vertical supports,it is quicker to build and costsabout half as much sincelower grade material can beused. Still, with transporta­tion costs figured in, anAmerican-style home costsabout 25 to 30 percent morethan a comparable Japanesehouse.

Staff architects on site

will produce working draw­ings, tailored to meetJapanese conventions. Tanasealso envisions a "designer ofthe month" traveling from theU.S. to display his or herideas to the Japanese market.

Tanase hopes for abreak-even point of about 150homes for each of his centers,one in Kobe and one inTokyo.

The Hungry DU

The Precinct: "living Theater"With over 55,000 living DU alumni

scattered across the planet, it occurred tothe Editors ofyour magazine that someofour brothers must be in the restaurantbusiness. We envisioned a broad spec­trum ofestablishments in existence; alogical reflection of the eclectic composi­tion of our brotherhood. In our quest forriveting copy, your Editors thought anoccasional article could feature thoserestaurants ofDU ownership, and themen behind them.

The longevity of The Hungry DU onthese pages, is in your hands. Weconsider it a trial feature, so let us knowwhat you think, by writing to DUHeadquarters (address on page 3) or viae-mail at: ihq@deltau.org. If you own oroperate a restaurant, please notify us ifyou would like to have it visited by one ofour reviewers.

Establishment: The PrecinctLocation: Cincinnati, Ohio

Founded: 1981Proprietor: Jeff Ruby, Cornell '70

DU Rating: ******* (highest possible)

Quote: "The road to success is alwaysunder construction:'

Whether you're an occasionaltraveler or a certified Road Warrior, youwill not forget an evening at ThePrecinct, just outside downtown Cincin­nati. An experience there is a paean tothe senses, and impresario performancesare the expectation every night.

As with anything that achievesexcellence, The Precinct is a product ofpassion, and in this case the passiondrives Jeff Ruby, Cornell '70. Therestaurant's high standards are his, andhis use of theatrical metaphors todescribe his philosophy is completelyintentional. "A restaurant is 'livingtheater,' asserts Brother Ruby. "Theemployees become the cast. The owner isthe director... Our goal from the verybeginning was simply to be the beststeakhouse in Cincinnati. That's not a

18 DELTAUPSILON QUARTERLI'/APRIL 1996

goal that can be accomplished just once.It is a goal that must be accomplishedevery night the curtain is raised."

Over the past 15 years, BrotherRuby's culinary performances haveattracted the international attention ofcritics, competitors and a legion ofappreciative audiences. It is not only theconsensus-best steakhouse in Cincinnati,but it has earned a place among the eliteof such establishments throughout theworld. USA Today and Cigar Aficiona­do, among other publications, rate ThePrecinct as one of the top steakhousesanywhere.

The most striking element ofBrother Ruby's restaurant, however, isits collection of inspired juxtapositions.For starters, its location stands in mar­velous contradiction to the tired clichethat the three most important elements toa restaurant's success are: "location,location, and location."

"There had never been a successfulrestaurant in this part of town," explainsBrother Ruby, "and every deal I workedon to start in a better location fellthrough. So, lots of people refused to[invest in] The Precinct because of thelocation we wound up with." Ultimately,however, enough investors were con­vinced that Brother Ruby's ambition,experience (graduation from Cornell'srenown school, along with nearly 10years in the food and beverage opera­tions with Holiday Inn properties inCincinnati), and focus would overcomeany issues of location.

In 1981, Brother Ruby and nineother people invested $10,000 each toopen the restaurant. Among these indi­viduals were Cincinnati Reds starsJohnny Bench and Pete Rose. Bothremain business partners with BrotherRuby today.

The Precinct takes its name fromthe building's original purpose - as acommunity police headquarters, withconstruction dating back to the turn ofthe century. The Precinct's brick exteriorreflects a genuine assimilation in its

neighborhood of two and three-storymulti-family houses. While many restau­rants attempt to entice patrons withfacades in stark relief to their surround­ings, The Precinct acknowledges andembraces its setting, and the resultingverisimilitude is refreshing and unique.

In Brother Ruby's restaurant, you'llnot find a jacket-and-tie required atmos­phere of hushed tones and condescend­ing waiters. Nor will you be assaulted bythe clattering din of, say, Smith &Wollensky's; or anxious managementkvetching over portion controls andmeeting quotas for tables turned in anevening. This is white linen tableclothdining, but with a slight attitude:Victorian Gothic meets neon. The mar­riage works.

The Precinct is hip but not trendy;respectful, but not stodgy. The atmo­sphere mirrors the identity of its owner- totally committed to the enjoyment ofhis customers, uncompromising in hisstandards for quality, yet given to a qui­etly expressed passion for risk takingand rebellion. Brother Ruby claims that,"A truly great restaurant takes on thepersonality of its owner... The design,the style, the chemistry and charisma ofthat restaurant are a reflection of theowner's persona."

"They Come Here ToCelebrate Life."

"Field of Dreams" shared theparadoxical message, "If you build it,they will come." In the case of ThePrecinct, the location might be character­ized as "remote," but in reality it is lessthan 15 minutes from downtownCincinnati.

Reservations are highly recom­mended on weekdays, and a virtualnecessity on weekends. All roads leadpast the Maitre d's desk, through thetiled and gregarious bar area (formerlythe kitchen), and into the main diningroom. Once seated, another round ofjuxtapositions present themselves amongdetails as fine as the room's lighting.Each table is adorned by candlelight, butwandering along near the top of the12-foot ceilings is a delicate line ofpurple neon.

Background music is ruled by thelikes of Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, oreven Cab Calloway, though some of the

decor wanders down a whimsical path- witness the life-size group picture ofkeystone cops.

The Precinct' s atmosphere alonesugges ts that this will not be an ordinarydining experience. Says Brother Ruby,"They [customers] don 't come herebecause they' re hungry. They can go totheir refrigerator for that. They comehere to celebrate life."

The celebration begins, appropriate­ly, with 15 different steak offerings,from Steak Diane to porterhouse. Youcan even order the Steak Tartare appetiz­er as an entree. While there 's lots fromwhich to choose , (including excellentseafood and pork, lamb, or veal chops)the menu says what it needs to in twopages.

What truly separates steaks at ThePrecinct from anywhere else however, isselectivity and seasoning. The porter­house cuts, for example, are accepted ata rate of only one steak per animal.Among all kinds of beef processed in theUnited States, 97 percent of it is rejectedby The Precinct. Most meat supplierscannot do business with Brother Rubybecause his specifications are toodemanding.

Beyond issues of quality, a steak atThe Precinct is distinguished by whatthe employees call "magic dust," the sea­soning that each steak receives. To theextent that the The Hungry DU has anycredibility, we wager it all on the claimthat this secret seasoning is truly aston­ishing.

The way in which BrotherRuby developed the seasoningsays volumes about his focus,commitment, and passion. Hewas influenced to make ThePrecinct a steakhouse when afriend took him to visit an un­assuming restaurant in Dayton,Ohio, called the Pine Club.

"It was clear that they hada secret seasoni ng that theywere using on their steaks ,"recalls Brother Ruby. "OneSunday, I drove up to Daytonand jumped into theirdumpster, looking for thecontainers of seasonings thatthey used.

"But they had scratched thelabels off, so you couldn' t tellwhat they were using. Finally,

we came up with our own seasoningwhich really helped."

The Hungry DU sampled the 10­ounce aged filet, medium. It cameunadorned , without distracting mush­rooms, or the like. A side of Bernaisesauce constituted the perfectcomplement - rich, subtle and creamy.

Included with the entree wereintriguingly delicate and ultra-thin onionrings, and silken garlic mashed potatoes,beaten with love and labor. This was theequivalent of a steak eater's pilgrimageto Mecca .

A versatile wine list offers 16vintages by the glass and 11 2 by the bot­tIe. Selections are slightly weighted todomestic offerings, and representation isstrongest among chardonnays andcabernets .

For balance, we tried the Raw BarSampler as an appetizer (two jumboshrimp, two meaty Alaskan Crab legs,and two oysters). It riva led any similarconcoction we've had in Boston or SanFrancisco. A Greek salad was fresh andgenerous with feta and olives.

All desserts are made on thepremises, and provide a final cymbalcrash to the dining experience. Amongour favorites were the Cheesecake Rubywith homemade strawberry sauce.Haggen Dazs praline pie with anoutstanding graham crust, and Bananasa-la-Carl (The Precinct 's version ofBananas Foster).

General Manager Tony Ricci isgenial as he glides through the dining

rooms, occas ionally stopping at tables togreet both familiar and new. He isclearly one of Brother Ruby's "center­stage" performers.

This is an exce llent operation beingrun by a DU who has endured adversityand worked hard throughout his life torealize a series of goals. Recalling someof his childhood, Brother Ruby revealsthat, "My mother was a culinarian; Ithought culinarian was a religion."

Like most roads to success, howev­er, Brother Ruby was tested along hisjourney. Ultimately, his parents divorcedand the restaurant they owned wasclosed. He ran away from home at age15 and worked his way through highschool with a job in the kitchen of anearby pancake house.

He arrived on the Cornell campu shaving learned many of life 's hardlessons, but he claims his involvementand experiences in DU taught him agreat deal more. 'T he Fraternit y helpedme develop some great friendships andloyalties," he said.

He elaborates by describ ing an inci­dent that occurred on his 2 1st birthday,when he became a central figure in help­ing regain control of the university'sadministration building. On April 19,1969, the building was commandeeredby 150 militant students. During theuprising, Brother Ruby was captured ina photo for the May, 1969 issue of Lifemagazine (page 24). "Every other guy inthat picture was a DU" he says proudly."They ran up to the admini stration build­ing as soon as they heard I might be introuble - I won 't ever forget that."Cramped quarters at the Cornell Chapteralso had an effect on Brother Ruby."With five guys in one little room" herecalls, "you learn how to live with oth­ers."

Today, he makes his living by serv­ing others. They come to his restaurantto celebrate life, and his goal for eachvisitor is simple. "I want every customersaying, 'Wow! That was time wellspent.' Because if they say that, thenthey're saying it was money well spent."

Such an elegantly simple goa l, yetone that Brother Ruby achieves eachevening in his "living theater" known asThe Precinct.

Delta Upsilon 6 Year Pledging History

Academic Year*Four months remain in the fiscal year.

In a recent survey of Americanfreshmen, 76 percent of male freshmencited, "wanting to be able to get a betterjob" as a reason for attending college.Nearly 70 percent marked, "to learnabout things that interest me."

Students go to college to learn andimprove themselves. No one cited, "todrink, live in a dirty old house, and getpoor grades" as a reason for going tocollege.

Fraternities can grow if they changeto accommodate today's success orientedstudent. We must offer an experienceoutside the classroom which will giveour members a competitive edge in thejob market, graduate school search, andin their personal lives.

What can our alumni do to helpreverse this trend? Perhaps the bestanswer is: Get involved. All chapters ofDelta Upsilon can benefit greatly fromthe advice, consultation, and recommen­dations of alumni.

A number of chapters have alumniwho help coordinate recruitment eventsby hosting events at their homes or byproviding services for printing of promo­tional materials. Others often offer rushrecommendations on men who wouldmake great DUs. Chapters can encour­age alumni to recommend men, byimmediately calling or writing the alum­nus to thank him for the recommenda­tion; by rushing the men well; and byletting the alumnus know the outcome,even if the man pledges elsewhere.

DU alumni can also help by recom­mending fraternity life to young men intheir community. If all a high schoolgraduate knows of fraternity is "AnimalHouse," he needs the counter balance ofadvice from successful men who knowthat the true fraternity offers much moreto men who are willing to put forth theeffort.

The pressure is on us as DUs toseek out new members and offer an ex­perience which will make them bettermen, enhance their college days, andgive them an edge over the competitionWith all of us striving for excellence inevery aspect of our Fraternity and per­sonallives, we can reverse this trend. Ifwe don't, it may be our generationwhich ends a 162-year tradition offriendship, character, culture, and jus­tice. The choice is ours.

The step that is left out is the creation ofa quality fraternity which people willwant to join. A perfectly executed "5step process" and the best rush events inthe world will not get men to join ourFraternity. We must offer potentialmembers programs and activities whichwill enhance their college experienceand make them a better person.

"We must offerpotential members

programs and activi­ties which will en­hance their college

experience ... "

seem like they should work. Yet, mem­bership numbers continue to decrease.Why? I believe the "5 step" modelleaves out one very important piece ofthe recruitment puzzle.

These statistics are not being pub­lished to embarrass any chapters. Norare they designed to be pessimistic aboutthe future of our Fraternity. They areintended to demonstrate how critical thecurrent recruitment situation truly is.

The graph below illustrates the factsabout Delta Upsilon's recruiting effortsin the '90s. These statistics should serveto motivate chapters into a new way ofthinking about membership recruitmentand a new level of commitment to cor­rect these trends.

For years now, the National Interfra­ternity Conference has promoted its "5steps to membership recruitment."These steps, which most of us know byheart, give a simple model for meetingand pledging new members.

Testicular Cancer:"It's not who you know,

it's what you know,"Act I

In which Death says,"It's not who you know,

it's what you know"

As you round the corner near yourfavorite lunch spot, you meet the GrimReaper, black robes flowing, sickle inhand.

Mindful that only his target can seehim, you take the offensive. "I didn'texpect you so soon."

"No one does.""You are here for me, right?""Maybe.""What do you mean, maybe? I

thought you deal in absolutes."Death smiles. "It depends on what

you know.""What I know? What is this, Final

Jeopardy?""In a fashion," laughs Death. "I'm

here for you, unless you can answer onequestion: Other than AIDS-related can­cers, what is the leading cause of cancerdeath of men ages 18 to 30?"

"Cancer?" Hmmm, 18 to 30 ....You're 24, you don't know many menwho die of cancer before they're 30. Oh,young women sometimes, nasty ovariantumors.... Since Death waits for no man,you make an educated guess.

"Testicular cancer?"The Grim Reaper looks disappoint­

ed but respectful. "Exactly right, myfriend." He murmurs something about itoccurring in men of all ages, but thatyounger men are more likely to succumbbecause they tend to ignore any signs or

22 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/APRIL 1996

symptoms they notice."Guess I dodged a bullet, eh?""A bus with bad brakes, actually,"

says Death. "Ready for your secondquestion?"

"You said one!""Call it extra credit. True or false: if

detected by TSE when first possible, tes­ticular cancer is one of the most curablecancers; but if left untreated, it's a sureway to see me sooner."

You recall from your "how to study"class in DU that compound questions aremore likely to be.... True? False? Youguess: "True."

"Right again. Well, I'll be back,sooner or later." He turns to leave.

"Wait! 'Detected in time'? How doyou detect it?"

"I'll leave that to you," says theGrim Reaper, fading from view. "I'vebeen too helpful already."

Act IIIn which the prevention

and cures become known andunderstood

Testicular cancer almost alwaystakes the form of a hard mass on theexternal surface of a testicle. Althoughthere are other causes than cancer for atumor on a testicle, it's a good bet that alump is cancer.

Testicular cancer is most commonin men 18 to 30 and over 60, although itdoes occur at all ages. There are about3.7 cases per 100,000 population per

year; with at least 60,000 living DUs,odds are that two or three DUs will haveit each year. Men of African descent haveonly one-third the risk of testicularcancer of other men. Men born with oneor both testicles undescended - that is,in the inguinal canal or abdomen and notyet lowered into the scrotum - have amuch higher risk of testicular cancer.

A number of symptoms mean youshould consult a doctor immediately:

A lump in either testicle;

Any enlargement of a testicle;

A feeling of heavinessin the scrotum;

A dull ache in thelower abdomen or groin;

A sudden collection of fluidin the scrotum;

Pain or discomfort in atesticle or in the scrotum. If a tumor is

ruptured in an injury, blood may collectquickly and cause intensive pain, often

the first sign if self-examsare not done;

Enlargement or tendernessin the breasts, which mayresult from tumor-induced

hormone imbalance.

For each of these symptoms, theremay be a cause other than cancer. Butonly a doctor can tell through an exam.The sooner testicular cancer is found andtreated, the better your chances forcomplete recovery.

A doctor will do a physical exam,and will carefully examine the scrotum,manually and often with ultrasound.Chest x-ray and blood and urine testswill be done to see if there are signs ofan infection or other disorder. If not, thedoctor is likely to suspect cancer.

The only sure way to know whethercancer is present is for a tissue sample tobe examined by a pathologist. To obtainthe sample, the testicle must be removed.

This is not done by cutting throughthe scrotum, nor is just a part of thetesticle cut away. Cutting into the

scrotum or testicle almost alwaysreleases cancer cells to travel throughthe body, spreading the cancer.

Instead, an incision is made in thegroin, and the testicle is drawn upthorough the inguinal canal. If it's notobvious that the lump is cancer, thetesticle is removed. The other testicleremains intact. It's extremely rare forcancer to occur on both testicles at once.

Once the sample is obtained, thepathologist determines if cancer ispresent and if so, what type. Thisindicates what treatment should befollowed.

Various tests show whether thecancer has spread. If so, surgery may bedone, as in removal of lymph nodes deepin the abdomen. Radiation therapy andchemotherapy may be used with sometypes of cancer.

But the initial step in either type oftumor is removal of the affected testicle.This rarely reduces fertility, as theremaining testicle can carryon as itwould have otherwise, and there is nochange in the ability to maintain anerection.

If surgery is done to remove lymphnodes, there can be some effect on theability to ejaculate. But newer surgicaltechniques and some medications canreduce the effects. Radiation andchemotherapy have their own sideeffects, which generally pass with time.

A prosthetic testicle, of equalweight and feel to the one removed, canbe inserted into the scrotum.

After treatment for testicular cancer,regular follow-up is a key to ensuringthat the treatment has been successful.

Fig. 1

This involves regular x-rays and scans,and monthly blood tests for two years.In the third year, one or two checkupsmay be needed. A man who is cancerfree three years after testicular cancerhas a very low incidence of recurrence.

Act IIIIn which self-examination, done

monthly, disappoints Death

Every man should examine histesticles once a month to help detecttesticular cancer. This technique isknown as testicular self-examination(TSE).

It's easiest to do after a warm bathor shower, when the scrotum is relaxed.It takes only a few minutes.

Stand in front of a mirror, and lookfor any swelling on the skin of thescrotum.

Place your thumbs on top of thescrotum, and your index and middlefingers undemeath, so that one testicle isisolated (see Fig. 1). Gently roll thetesticle between the thumbs and fingers.It should be smooth, oval-shaped, andfairly firm. As you do TSE you'llbecome familiar with how each testiclefeels. If a lump occurs, it's most likely tobe on the side of the testicle, thoughsome occur in the front. If you feel anylump on the testicle, see your doctor;remember that testicular cancer is highlycurable, especially when treated prompt­ly.

Locate the soft, tube-like structureat the back of the testicle. This is theepididymis (see Fig. 2), which collects

Epididymis-----4-\?

Testicte----4'~

Fig. 2

and carries the sperm. Don't mistake itfor an abnormal lump. However, if youdetect a change or mass there (generallynot cancer), tell your doctor.

After examining one testicle, repeatthe process with the other. It's normalfor the testicles to be of different sizes.

EpilogueIn which Death complains

After learning about testicular self­examination, and performing it regularly,you are surprised to see Death again, byyour favorite lunch spot.

"Not you again!"Death tums. "Oh, it's you! The smart

one. No, I'm here for someone else; itseems after you've beaten me, you cansee me."

"Well, that's a relief. Hey, Death,thanks for that tip about testicularcancer. I found out about TSE and youaren't getting me by that route."

"Hrrmph. Just don't tell yourfriends."

"Oh, I already have. I copied anarticle and gave it to friends at work, atthe athletic club, at church, at the..."

"Enough! Begone! You've ruined myday," cries Death as he darts across thestreet to snare some unsuspecting victim.

"Glad to be of service, G.R.," yousay, confident that knowledge is power.

Withstrong pressure coming to bear onGreeks to eliminate alcohol abuse, sexistand racist behavior, hazing and lowscholarship, an old-style leader will behard pressed to help his chapter succeed.

Saturday evening was complete witha bus tour of the Capitol's monuments atnight, ju st before the record snowfallbega n in earnest. On Sunday mornin g,with 10 inches on the ground already,the delegates wrapped up with Dr. TerryHarter, Clergy for the United Method­ists, teaching how DU leaders encouragetheir brothers by recognizing the workthey do and by celebrating the smallsteps that make up large achievements.

Delta U now has had two success fulPresidents Academy programs. The goalis to have each chapter and colonypresident attend , and grow in hispersonal ability to lead and inspire hischapter. Through generous support bythe Delta Upsilon Educational Founda­tion, and the many DU alumni whocontribute to it, the expense per chapterwas only $ 150.

Province 8 RLS a Success

Western Illinois OfficersLearn Teamwork Through

AdversityEight brothers from Western Illinois

braved the elements recently when theystayed out all night with only a crudeshelter constructed from farm productsto house them.

Having only metal livestock gates,round and square bales, and a tarp attheir disposal, the men camped out on afarm.

They built a fire, cooked their supperon it, and slept all night in sleeping bagsinside the shelter. They had no electricconnections or heater whatsoever.

President Darren Headley '96 saidof the event, "It went really well. Wewere alone with only our brothers andgot to know each other better."

The adventure came about as aresult of a series of meetings held byfour advisors to the chapter. They founda dual purpose in changing the locationof the annual event, first to cut expensesand also to present a new challengewhich could prove rewarding for thebrothers.

So they moved part of the retreat tothe tiny town of Hooppole for one day.The other two days, to be held indoorsin Macomb, focused on planning calen­dars, budgets and programs.

The outdoor event was specificallydesigned to ignite the annual retreat,which was designed as a common bondto assist the men in team building andlearning how to trust each other.

On an annual basis , the DU Educational Foundationmakes grants to the International Fraternity, which help fundthe two most important leadership development programs foryour brothers on campus. Each winter , DU sponsors thePresidents Academy for the top leaders in each chapter. In thesummer, over 200 brothers participate in the DU LeadershipInstitute (formerly know n as the Leadership Conference &Convention).

Many of our DU brothers have no comprehensive leader­ship training resources available to them on campus.Therefore , the DU Leadership Institute and PresidentsAcademy meet an essential educational need. To offer theseimportant programs, the DU Educational Foundation dependson annual gifts received from over 3,000 brothers and friends.

While time is short, the 1996 DU Leadership Institute and1997 Presidents Academy will once again offer namingopportuniti es for our most generous supporters. Last year,leadership gifts for Delta Upsilon 's primary educationalprograms were made by the following:

The Advocate

My Delta UExperiencepallbearers at his State Funeral. Mrs.Parker told us he believed our"exposure to the dignitaries" woulddo us good even after his death.

During my early career in thelaw firm, I found myself to be a"pledge," although they called me an"associate." I had learned how tosucceed in that role at my chapterand within three years I was madepartner. Thereafter, every Tuesday I

attended"chaptermeeting,"although theycalled it "firmmeeting" and Iwas made"rush chair­man," al­though theycalled it "chairof the recruit­ing commit­tee."

Severalyears later, anopening cameon our Court.By now

Charles Henson was counsel to theGovernor and when the Governorconsulted his counsel about whom toappoint, Brother Henson suggestedme. Perhaps Brother (Chief Justice)Parker was right - it did us good tohave been "exposed to the dignitar­ies."

The rest is history. Twenty yearslater I am now Chief Judge and I amstill using my Delta U lessons togood advantage every day.

Delta U ... a worthwhile expe­rience? This time I'll let you "be thejudge!"

"Delta U ...a worthwhile

experience? Thistime I'll let you 'be

the judge! '"

Recently, someone askedwhether my college fraternityexperience had proved to beworthwhile, What a question!

When I was an undergrad atK-State, our chapter instituted aprogram of cultural enrichmentwhich gained us the favorableattention of the University Presi­dent, Dr. James A. McCain.
