some of the nation's top college athleticteams. They show there 's time forstudies, high-profile intercollegiateathletics, and Delta Upsilon. They alsoillustrate the fact that Delta U is j ust theticket for a well-rounded man.

Too much of any one thing isn 'tgood in college. If you focus solely onstudies, or athletics, or socializing, orcampus activities, you' ll fall short inother important areas.

Our best chapters produce menmore balanced than they would bewithout DU. They are taught early onhow to get their best grades. They learnto follow and lead in chapter activitiesand on campus. They ' re guided towardgrad school or the workplace by fellowDUs who help them find the right pathand use the right techniques along theway.

Coach, recruit, rookie , veteran, orfan - in Delta U, you can be a part of awinner every season. Get in the game!

F~l7A--~James D. McQuaidChicago '60

This month marks "A WinningSeason " for Delta Upsilon. It's the themefor our annual gathering for Convention,Assembly, and the DU LeadershipInstitute, July 25-28.

We' ve had a winning season thisyear in Delta Upsilon. In the April issue,we wrote of a five-year decline in thenumber of men pledged. During thatstretch, we fell from 2,030 pledges to1,456, and averaged about 1,770.

In that article, we stressed the needto tailor rush to the times - to offerprograms which enhance the collegeexperience and make each DU a betterman, and to give him a competitive edgeafter college.

At our chapters this year, somethinggood is happening : our "teams" hadbetter coaching, trained better, or stuckto their game plans. Delta Upsilonwelcomed 1,603 men as pledges as ofJune 21. (There may be more; we onlycount them when their fees are paid andthe paperwork is received at IHQ.)Congratulations to the recruiters whoshowed men what DU is all about. Nowlet's elevate our game: initiate everypledge , graduate every initiate, and havea job or grad school for every graduate.

We'll have some new coaches on thesidelines for DU come July 27, when theAssembly of Trustees elects the Boardmembers and officers for the comingyear. I'm honored that the NominatingCommittee has asked me to serveanother year as President; I'll do mybest. I'd also like to thank three men whoare completing their service on the Boardof Directors: Chairman Rod Kirsch andundergraduate directors Greg Fijman andBen Ford. Without them, our DU teamwould not have fared so well.

What does it take to win? We focusthis issue on DU undergraduates andcoaches who have made the grade with

Letters to the EditorsCheck Your Attitude

Dear Editors:

As a parent I found the April issueof the Delta Upsilon Quarterly veryinformative, and full of good things forall young men. However, the reason I'mwriting is in response to the article onpage 20, "Recruitment in the '90s." Yourfive steps are excellent, and the one leftout, "to offer programs and activities toenhance the college experience" isexcellent too, but I see still another.

As the mother of three sons, twowho have had DU experiences, I thinkyou left out one very important step."Check your attitude, do others want tobe around you?" Our youngest son depledged because the attitudes of the oldermembers was one of self-importance andsuperiority, not friendship andbrotherhood. I think what Gregory Lambsaid sums it up, ... "offer an experiencewhich will make them better men,enhance their college days and give theman edge over the competition."

DU is a great organization, but someyoung men need to check their attitudesif they want others to join them.

An "Old" Mom

We couldn't agree more. aide];initiated members should work tocultivate a sense offriendship and trustwith pledges and new initiates. Attitudesof self-importance and superiority haveno place in Delta Upsilon.

--The Editors.

Elitism As An Ideal

Dear Editors:

With respect to the continuingdialogue on "elitism," I think it is awaste of time trying to rehabilitate theword "elite" as a positive word. Like itor not, the English language oftenundergoes irreversible changes, and Ibelieve the word "elite" has already beenpushed over the cliff. Nevertheless, withqualifications, the ideal should bepreserved, by whatever name.

4 DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JULY 1996

I am trying to write this letter withsome sense of humility, because, whileliving in the University of Oklahomachapter house from 1975-77, I wasfrequently unfair to or arrogant towardsome of my fellow brothers.

First, I believe elitism is acceptableif it is understood that God views allhumans as of equal worth. I findreferences to "survival of the fittest"repugnant and unworthy of the DUtradition. Elitism is acceptable as itpermits private individuals to jointogether to further ideals of justice andbrotherhood, so long as no weight isgiven to race, creed, or social standing.By social standing I mean status that isderived mainly through circumstance ofbirth or economic status unrelated to anyendeavor by the individual.

Second, elitism as it relates topledging should give as much weight topotential for accomplishment as it doesto having a resume of prior honors oraccomplishments. When the DUspledged me, I was shy, a sloppy dresserand uncertain of my goals in life. I camefrom a middle income family of goodreputation but no particular standing orstatus in the community. Although I hadbeen an honor student in high school, Ihad started to "drift." Being a DUhelped give my life direction. I went onto receive a B.A. in Journalism, a lawdegree from St. Mary's University, and aMaster of Divinity degree from WesleyTheological Seminary of the UnitedMethodist Church.

Third, we need to rid ourselves ofthe notion that those we deem unsuitablefor membership are somehow beneathus. One of DU's strongest points at manycolleges is its interaction with nonGreeks. Some people are unsuitable forthe Greek "way" because their lifephilosophy or belief system isincompatible with either a particularfraternity or the whole fraternity system.That does not necessarily make them"losers." During my first semester at theUniversity of Oklahoma, I often sporteda "GDI" shirt mocking fraternities. Myview was that many of the Greek men onmy dorm tloor confused "pride" with"arrogance." Thankfully, I was

introduced to a more positive view ofthe Greek system ideal by a DU wholived on my tloor. My chapter at OUwelcomed positive interaction withindependents, but I can't say the same ofall the Greek houses I became familiarwith.

Fourth, many Greeks confuseundeserved "favoritism" with "elitism."During my junior year, I ran for aposition on the student communicationsboard, a campus-wide position. I did notmake it into the run-off; one Greek andone independent did. I endorsed theGreek candidate, even though Iconsidered the independent far morequalified. I had received intense pressurefrom fellow Greeks to endorse the Greekcandidate so I took the easy way outinstead of the correct way. In fairness tomy fellow DUs, let me say that Ireceived little pressure from them.

Fifth, and finally, diversity has itsmerits, so long as it is not achieved in acontrived or "politically correct"manner. Unfortunately, for somefraternities "brotherhood" translates toone-shape "cookie cutter" membership.

Delta Upsilon has no apologies tomake to anyone as it strives forexcellence, but we need to recognize thefallibility of human judgment anddiffering perspectives on the nature ofexcellence.

Joel Betow, Oklahoma '77

Important To Know

Dear Editors:

I would like to applaud you onprinting the "Testicular Cancer" article. Iwas diagnosed with the disease in June1995. Unfortunately it had alreadyspread into my lymph nodes requiringmajor surgery and three sessions ofchemotherapy. Hopefully this will help afew people find the disease in its infancyand avoid the horrors of surgery andchemotherapy.

I would also like to recommenddoing an article on colon cancer. I lost afellow brother to this disease in

December 1994. Colon cancer is verycurable if found early, but almostincurable if it is left undiagnosed until itslater stages.

Eric 1. Hamik, Nebraska '91

We, too, hope our Health & Wellnesspiece in the April 1996 Quarterly offeredhelpful, preventative measures to ourreaders. Also, your suggestion ofaHealth & Wellness piece on colon canceris worthy of consideration.

Volunteer Now

Dear Editors:

I wish I had been more convincingin the January Quarterly on the subjectof VOLUNTEERISM!

I don't know why volunteeringseems to turn people off, but volunteersare so very important in our daily lives.If I spent all my volunteer hours on thegolf course, it's doubtful that I wouldplay any better, but it's certain I wouldn'thave the satisfaction of seeing theWisconsin Chapter get better and better!

My message to other housecorporations is to ask your brothers toserve. My message to the undergrads isto ask alumni to serve. My message tothe rest is to serve - don't bother to waitfor them to ask you. The time is NOW.

Edward M. Hipke, Wisconsin '56

The "ask" just begins the positiveexperience of volunteerism. Yourmessage is clear -- Volunteer NOWIThanks for your thoughts, Ed.

'LIDGIDR

'LAY?TBISIDUsSB.Few campus activities demand as much time and mental

effort as intercollegiate ath letics, especially in the revenueproducing sports of football and basketbalL

Because of the huge time demands, many male athletesnever consider joining a fraternity. Sometime s the choice isn 'ttheirs; a coach who says the team must live and eat togethermay rule out fraternity membership . The costs of going Greekcan add further concerns, especi ally while debate rages overwhether college athletes need more financial support oncampus.

But several Delta U student-athletes have found that theycan work sports, studies and fraternities into their busyschedules, and that the breadth of experience makes theircollege lives more rewarding. And DU coaches on thesidelines agree that fraternity membership can add balance towhat can be a one-dimensional existence.

Derek Fairchild, a 1996 graduate of Kansas University,pledged Delta Upsilon his freshman year as a walkon wholater won a scholarship with the Jayhawks. He' s a DU andKansas football legacy - his father, Larry Fairchild , Kansas'64, played center, linebacker and offensive end for KU.

"I went through both DU pledgeship and football two-adays my freshman year. Because fall practice started inAugust, I didn 't get to meet my pledge brothers until a fewdays before classes," said Derek Fairchild. "But I did all myassignments and lived in the chapter house for two years . Itried to get to the functions, and Homecoming , philanthropi es,parties and alumni events.

VOUCARDOBO"The last three years, when 1 started traveling, 1 didn 't do a

large amou nt with the chapter. Two-a-day practices kept mefrom doing much with rush, but 1 would try to come to thechapter house when 1 could and talk with some of the guysthinking about signing," Derek said.

But DU still was an important part of his academic life."It was very helpful to have older guys in similar majors andcourses, and get advice on which professors to take , whichelectives were goo d, and to make use of the study files," hesaid. "The chapter also has organ ized study tables all throughpledging and that helped too. My older brother Larry (Kansas'93) was the scholarship chairman, and he sure didn 't cut meany slack."

Of roug hly 100 men on the Jayhawk football team whichranked in the top 10 nationally last year, perhaps 20 or 25were affiliated with fraternities, Derek said. But many were"social pledges" who didn 't truly pledge or jo in "but mainlyj ust went to part ies," thus not really being fraternity membersand carrying no lasting benefits of membership aftergraduation."I don 't know a lot of players who really pledged and initiatedlike 1 did."

Comparing the time demands of his football days to hisson's, Larry Fairchild noted the biggest difference in spring andsummer requirements. "There's no question that when 1 wasthere, it was slightly more bearable. After spring ball they'dtell us to go home and stay in shape, but we didn' t havecomputerized printouts of weight workouts and what springswe were supposed to do.

"It's hard to be involvedin the chapter becauseyou're gone so much."

Shawn Carlin,Wisconsin '96

"Back then in the off season, wewere called down to the fieldhouse to dosome things, but it was not as wellorganized, and frankly some playersfound ways to circumvent things. Butwith Derek, there was no circumventingthe process," said the elder Fairchild,who was a Jayhawk center andlinebacker.

Derek notes that even springsemester doesn't reduce the timedemands that much. "You don't havepractice but you are still in the weightroom two or three hours a day. The otherbig difference is mental - you don't haveto be working on a new opponent eachweek and a new set of plays, so you havea little more time for other activities."

Up in Madison, a Wisconsin DU for the team, an assistant coach he'djoined his chapter as a sophomoretransfer, before walking on as a juniorand playing varsity basketball most ofhis senior season. Shawn Carlin '96 alsoshowed that athletics, good grades andDelta Upsilon are by no means mutuallyexclusive: he ended up on the AllAcademic Big Ten team, and this spring

talked with earlier invited him to walkon. After one tryout in fall 1994, hemade the squad for his junior year, thenwon a scholarship for his senior seasonand started about 15 games at guard,averaging more than 20 minutes andabout four points per game as a shootingguard.

"Once I got back into basketball, Iregretted it a little because it meant Iwouldn't have as much time for DeltaUpsilon. But I lived with five otherDUs and that helped keep me involved,"Brother Carlin said.

"When you're with the team it'shard to be involved in the chapterbecause you're gone so much. On theweekends you're either on the road orgetting your sleep before a home game.But I wanted to stay with DU and that'swhy I was glad when the season ended, Ihad a chance to do something for thechapter as president."

The men of the chapter were alwaysunderstanding about the time

requirements of a varsity basketballplayer, Brother Carlin said. "Unlessyou're given some special privileges Idon't see how you could go through thepledge semester with the timecommitment it takes. The house expectsa lot and so does sports, but I don't thinkyou'd get the whole picture of whatfraternity is all about if you didn't gothrough the same things and didn't giveit enough time."

Brother Carlin's schedule during theseason is par for the course for the DUsinterviewed for this article. Classes runfrom 8:30 to noon, then it's over to thearena at 1 to get taped for practice untilabout 4. Add weight work two or threetimes a week, dinner and then to thelibrary for a couple hours of study.

and more in the off semester, butgraduating in less than five years isalmost impossible.

No other Badger basketball playersare in fraternities, nor are footballplayers in Madison; a few soccer playersand golfers are. "I think more peopleshould have a chance to joinfraternities," Brother Carlin said."There really isn't a whole lot of sociallife for the guys on the team. They'reexpected to be full-time athletes andthey put the incoming freshmen in theseapartment-type efficiencies clear on theother side of campus, not even near thedorms, so they don't get to meet anyone.


PLIDGI OR PLAY?-"I'm glad I had the fraternity,

because it was kind of an escape fromthe athletics. I tried to keep both livesseparate and make the most of both."

Brother Carlin's father, Mike, was inanother fraternity at Wisconsin and alsoplayed for the Badgers. But when itcame time for rush, Shawn learned aboutDU from his sister's husband, MarkJohnson, Wisconsin '91, who convincedhim that wearing the Old Gold and Bluewas the right thing to do.

For junior forward Rich Taylor, SanJose '98, living in the San Jose Chapterhouse has been a great balance for hiswork on the Spartan basketball team.Last year was a Cinderella run for SanJose State and Brother Taylor. Despite apoor league record, they won the BigWest tournament on a last second shot byBrother Taylor. The Spartans kept closerto eventual national champion Kentuckyat halftime than any other team in theNCAA tournament.

With all the excitement and his timein the limelight, Brother Taylor echoes

All-American golfer who played in theNCAA championships.

the benefits of DU membership forcollege athletes.

"Living in the chapter house makesit so enjoyable. It's a lot easier to findtime to do things with the guys than ifyou have to make the trip over there," hesaid. With a schedule like those ofBrothers Carlin and Fairchild, he tries tomake the most of the time he has tospend with DU.

"I don't think I could commit toserving in a chapter office because it'dbe tough having lone responsibility foran office, and during the season youhave to be gone so much on weekends,"Brother Taylor said. "But I try to helpout. I've helped with assistant rushwhich is a lot of fun."

Alumni contacts are another benefitof Delta U. "Our alumni are great, andit's nice to get to know them. They'rereally supportive of the chapter and ofthe teams, and they come to the games alot. Those contacts will help down theroad and they worked real hard to helpus get a new chapter house."

Brother Taylor finds spending timewith his Delta Upsilon brothers is a goodbalance to his time with his teammates."I don't hang out with the team muchafter practice. The guys on the teamwho live together hang out together alot. But when I go out, I call on theguys from DU. It's great to have thingsto talk about other than just the team.They kid me a bit about all the timebasketball takes, but they're realunderstanding about it and I appreciatethat."

Being a fraternity man hasn't beenan issue with his coaches. "Our coachwas in a fraternity at Cal, but here hedidn't either support or dislike my beingin a fraternity." A few other SJSUathletes are in fraternities, includingredshirt quarterback Bobby Masters whopledged DU last semester. At the NCAAregional in Dallas, Brother Taylor said hewore his DU letters, but few of theplayers from other teams staying at thesame hotel were fraternity members.

Brother Taylor played sparingly as afreshman but was the sixth man for theSpartans this last season, getting about 25minutes a game, averaging about fivepoints and five rebounds.

Jason Cipolla pledged the SyracuseChapter in the midst of a season that tookhim and his Orangemen teammates, plusfellow DU Coach Jim Boeheim, to thetitle game in the NCAA tournament,which Syracuse lost to Kentucky. Jasonreturns for his senior season as a 6' 7"guard who averaged about eight pointsper game last year. [The Quarterly'sdeadlines didn't match up with Jason'ssummer schedule, so we will look for afollow-up after his anticipated initiationthis fall.]

Alan Stearns, Kansas '96, spent fiveyears with the Kansas UniversityJayhawk golf squad. He finished hissenior year with appearances in 14tournaments, including the NCAAchampionships in late May where KUfinished 15th. He made the Golf CoachesAssociation Academic All-Americanteam as a senior, and was named to theGTE All-Academic team for District VII.

Brother Stearns had the unfortunateduty of golfing in Scotland while thisarticle was in progress and couldn't bereached for an interview. But his mother,Karen Stearns, said she and her familywere grateful that the Kansas golf coachallowed players to be in a fraternity.

"At some schools you can't go Greek- you live, eat, study and train with yourteammates. Alan wanted a goodfraternity experience and was very happywith Delta Upsilon. While he knew thatdoing well in golf and in class takes a lotof time, he really wanted to help DU dowell, too."

Imagine the schedule Brother Stearnsfaced besides classes and golf, as heserved as the president of the KansasChapter and also had the lead role inRock Chalk, the KU song and dancecompetition that is a major activity forGreek chapters each year. "He was proudthat he was able to do all that and keephis grades strong, too," said Mrs. Stearns.

Brother Stearns had good support athome, as his mother was in a sorority atKU. His father was a fraternity memberat Kansas State, and then studiedmedicine at KU.

Athletes "all want more money, but Idon't think we should be paid to play,"said Brother Carlin. "You are here to getan education and that's the first thing youshould worry about.

"If we got paid, then the biggerschools would have more to give. It'd allbe a show and school wouldn't be ashigh a priority."

Brother Carlin noted that otherstudents often assume that life is a breezefor scholarship athletes. But the timerequired makes a scholarship "likeearning $7 an hour, if that," he said."There really isn't a lot of spendingmoney" because the aid is for academicexpenses and room and board. "I thinksomething more should be given."

DU coaches also viewed fraternitymembership as a positive move, butstressed that making it work is a twoway street - the man has to commit some

As a scholarship player at San JoseState, Brother Taylor receives $600 amonth as an off-campus resident."With rent and [chapter] dues it's $330a month. So that leaves $270 for foodand all the other stuff and things youneed to live," he said.

"I'rn fortunate that my parents canhelp me out. But a lot of the guys haveit tough. They work real hard in thesummer, and save all their money sothey can get by during the schoolyear," Brother Taylor said.

In a fraternity, "there's alot of people that youmeet from all differentinterests. It makes youmore well-rounded."

Derek Fairchild,Kansas '96

All the DU athletes interviewedagreed that something should be doneto adjust the financial aid given toathletic scholarship students.

"I had a full scholarship, and I'mfortunate enough to come from afamily that if I had needed extramoney, I could have gotten it," saidDerek Fairchild. "But many of theplayers needed PeB Grants just to getby." Qualifying for that grant added aflat monthly sum to the amount theschool was allowed to pay for roomand board.

The money brought in by majorcollege sports causes some studentathletes to wonder whether they shouldbe getting more than just tuition, booksand room and board. "There is afeeling among some athletes that, 'Hey,I bring recognition to the universityand the athletic program, I'msomewhat of a special student, theseare major revenue sports, why don't Iget some of that," Derek Fairchild said.

and summer Olympic-style competitionfor all ages. This summer's events windup in early August, marking the Games'10th anniversary.

"I think fraternities are a great outletfrom athletics," said KU's Fairchild. "It'sgreat to be around the guys from theteam and other sports in the trainingroom and on the field. But in a fraternity,there's a lot of people that you meet fromall different interests. It makes you morewell-rounded, and causes you not tothink about sports all the time. I think ifyou're serious about college and you'rean athlete, you ought to look atfraternities for what they offer."

Brother Hallihan said that in his 12years as an Iowa State assistant, thecoaches left it up to the player to decideif he wanted to join a fraternity. "Someof the guys who wouldn't have been ableto handle the added time [needed to goGreek] probably weren't interested in afraternity."

As an undergraduate basketballplayer at Miami University in Ohio,Brother Hallihan was one of several DUson athletic teams. The time demands inthe off-semester were just starting togrow, but weren't like the requiredconditioning and training programs oftoday, so men had more time forfraternity activities, he said.

Fraternity membership is a goodroad to the future for certain athletes. "Itdepends on the person. If you know youwant to live and work near your schoolafter you graduate, then joining afraternity is certainly a good way to meetpeople you'll want to know later in termsof job connections."

Brother Hallihan is now executivedirector of the Iowa Games, involving16,000 amateur athletes in annual winter

time and the chapter has to realize thatathletic schedules rarely are flexible.

Steve Loney, Iowa State '74, has sixcollege assignments under his belt,including assistantships at ColoradoState, The Citadel, Connecticut, andMissouri Western, and a head coachingstint at Morehead State. He also spent ayear with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.Last year as offensive coordinator andoffensive line coach for Iowa State, hehelped the Cyclones make the top lOinrushing nationally, and this fall returns ajunior tailback who racked up 2,010yards last season - Heisman finalist TroyDavis.

In his 23 years as an assistantcollege coach, Jim Hallihan, Miami '67,has generally seen an advantage amongathletes who want to join a fraternity.

"There are tutoring programs, studyguidelines, and requiring you to have acertain GPA to initiate," said Hallihan,who has coached at Virginia Tech,Eastern Tennessee and Iowa State.'They also have some responsibilities tocampus in terms of activities they're in.Plus most of the good fraternities havesome expectation about acting a certainway, and if you don't, you won't bearound long," he said.

B. Franklin

Many a DU has given orbenefited from fatherlyadvice from a fraternitybrother.

Bernard Franklin'snewest challenge is to seethat some of those most inneed of a strong father figure,or striving to be a goodfather, has someone to helpthem along.

Brother Franklin, KansasState '75, begins work July 1at the National Center forFathering, serving as vicepresident and nationaldirector.

"My role is to direct thecenter's effort to reach menof color and men of the innercity, to help them becomebetter fathers, and tounderstand the role offatherlessness in crime andpoverty," he said.

Brother Franklin leaveshis alma mater where since1991 he has been assistantdean of student life. It wasnot his first leadership role atKansas State. In 1975, hebecame the first studentelected Student BodyPresident as a write-incandidate, receiving a record55 percent of the vote in thehighest recorded turnout. Hehas been the only African-

American student to hold thatposition.

At the age of 24, hebecame the youngest personever appointed to the KansasState Board of Regents,which he later chaired.

The National Center forFathering is a non-profiteducational and researchcenter dedicated to equippingand inspiring men to becomeinvolved fathers, and itsmission fits right in withBrother Franklin's interests.

"I've been interested inmen's issues since the men'smovement began. Mydissertation research is on theimpact of college on youngcollege men. When thisopportunity arose, I just hadthe interest. I feel like it's acall, or maybe fulfillment of alife's mission. My family isnot interested in making amillion dollars, but in findingour place."

The National Center forFathering has beenpredominantly a "suburban,upper middle class project"that has been trying to makesome inroads into the innercity "but hasn't been able todo it," said Brother Franklin."A couple of years ago, I wasinvited to help out with aMinneapolis project, and Ithought, 'this is it.:"

In looking forward to"carving out and creating myjob," Brother Franklin said hewants to shape an effort toreach college men.

"I think we're headed toa generation of guys whohave not had a role model Dad has worked, Dad's notbeen there, they're divorced.There are a lot of college menwho don't know what it is tobe a dad.

"We have been looking atsome ways DUs could helpserve in fathering roles; we'retalking with some municipalcourt judges, criminal courtjudges and in the probationprograms. There could besome one-to-one contact tohelp children who are tryingto re-establish with theirfamilies and are looking for afriendship-buddy connection."

DU chapters could alsoconduct programs to talkabout fathering issues thatrise in a member's dual rolesas a son and as a future father."I think it's good to findmeans for men to talk aboutthese things in a very personalway, to introduce a way totalk about the fathering painthey may have. If things areleft unresolved, thencomplicated issues arise laterin life. They need to shareand talk it out. They need tohear from men who are closeto their father what that's like,too."

Much fraternity behaviorcan be viewed as a substituteof sorts for a father-sonrelationship, Brother Franklinsaid. "I've worked withmisconduct most of myprofessional university life,and in every case I ask theman to tell me about hisrelationship with his dad.There's a direct correlationbetween trouble, and a poorrelationship with their dad.All fraternities need to get ahandle on that. Guys arelooking for the kinds of thingsthey never had with their dad- go fishing, go to a movie,just pal around. Thefraternity becomes a place ofgetting that dad-need met, andinstead of positive things,they drink, they act crazy,they do stupid stuff. Ourchapters need to understandwhat's happening," he said.

Justice, His FoundationRemembering The Hon. Herbert Brownell, Jr., Nebraska '24

H. Brownell

Having earned his place amongthe truly legendary men in ourFraternity's 161-year history, BrotherHerbert Brownell succumbed to cancerMay 1 in his New York City home - hewas 92. DU was represented withseveral brothers attending a memorialservice for him in Manhattan on May 13.

Anyone who had the good fortune tomeet Brother Brownell knew him to beengaging, humble, genteel, and genuine.Having spent most of his life inWashington and New York - cities withreputations for making cynics andegotists out of their citizenry - "Herb"stood above all of that. In hiscountenance, he never left Nebraska.

As the architect of DwightEisenhower's successful 1952Presidential campaign, he remained oneof Ike's closest advisors. He wasappointed as Eisenhower's first AttorneyGeneral, and was instrumental in thedecision to choose Earl Warren as ChiefJustice in 1953. In the following year, theWarren-led Supreme Court delivered itshistoric opinion in Brown v. The Boardof Education, making it unconstitutionalfor public school students to besegregated on the basis of race.

The decision was tested whenGovernor Faubus of Arkansas decided toblock the entry of Black students intoLittle Rock's Central High Schoo!. Theresulting crisis embroiled BrotherBrownell in one of the most importantconstitutional confrontations in U. S.history.

Brother Brownell obtained aninjunction after an FBI report proved

Mr. Faubus' orders were clearly intendedto prevent Black children from enteringthe high school. Although BrotherBrownell predicted that mediation withMr. Faubus would fail, PresidentEisenhower met with the governor andextracted a promise to allow thestudents' entry.

When Mr. Faubus broke his word,Brother Brownell gave his opinion thatthe president had the constitutionalpower and duty to enforce the law withtroops, to quell the mounting violence.U. S. soldiers were sent in, and withoutloss of life, broke the deadlock, allowingentry to the school for all children, andgiving dramatic demonstration of theadministration's commitment todesegregation It also underscored thesupremacy of the federal government inenforcement of the Constitution.

"He was a realgentleman and hebrought great honorto DU."

Ed Pollock,Virginia '51

In addition, Brother Brownellauthored the original bill that eventuallybecame the Civil Rights Act of 1957.This legislation was the first of its kindsince Reconstruction, and it opened thedoor for the significant civil rightsadvances of the 1960's. In his diary,Eisenhower offered this observation ofBrother Brownell, "His reputation withothers seems to match my own highopinion of his capabilities as a lawyer,his qualities as a leader, and his characteras a man. I am devoted to him andperfectly confident that he would makean outstanding President of the UnitedStates."

His abilities as a leader were alsorecognized at the highest levels by DeltaUpsilon International Fraternity andEducational Foundation. From 1979-81,Brother Brownell served as the

Fraternity's president during a time oftremendous growth in the membershiproll. He was subsequently elected asChairman of the DU EducationalFoundation, leading the way torestructure the endowment's investmentphilosophy. The portfolio has recordedoutstanding results ever since.

"I can only join inseconding the tributesby others who enjoyedfirst-hand experienceswith him. TheFraternity was blessedby his long service."

Ellis Evans,Kansas '56

At age 86, he received DeltaUpsilon's highest honor, The DUDistinguished Alumni AchievementAward. A moment of silence will beobserved in his honor at this summer'sDU Leadership Institute, and the flags atDU Headquarters will be displayed athalf-staff.

In addition to the memorial gifts thatwere offered by those brothers listed inthe box on the next page, the DUHeadquarters received many cards andletters in remembrance of BrotherBrownell - some excerpts appearbelow:

"I first met Herb Brownell about 35years ago, when he addressed a luncheongathering of the New York DU Club. Herelated some tales of his politicalexperiences with wit, grace and humility.It was easy to see why he commandedsuch universal respect and admiration.

"Some years later, I was asked tochair the Fraternity's InvestmentCommittee. I expressed reservations ...because management of the Fraternity'sinvestments was too restricted to


capitalize on the dynamics of a growtheconomy.

"[A] meeting was arranged at Herb'slaw office. He listened carefully, agreed,and made a few key phone calls. In shortorder, his insight, decisiveness anddiplomacy effected a policy shift whichhas had a dramatic impact on the valueof the Fraternity and EducationalFoundation's portfolios...

"Herb Brownell had a way ofmaking things happen - quietly andwith great effect. I am proud to havecalled him brother."

Maurice Mandel, Chicago '55

"He was a real gentleman and hebrought great honor to DU."

campaign of Dwight Eisenhower ...Mr. Brownell provided some goodadvicefor those of us in the Pacific Northwest.

"In 1964, he wrote an article for anational publication pertaining to theselection of state court judges. It waswell done and I told him so. As editor ofthe Trial Judges Journal, I invited himto contribute a similar article for mypublication. In a kind letter he regrettedthat he could not write for me andexplained that his prior article hadattracted some unfavorable comments.

"In April of 1980, I correspondedwith Brother Brownell who was thenserving as DU's international president.I thanked him for his leadership and fora column in the DU Quarterly onhazing. In his response he said, 'Ourpaths have crossed in one way oranother over the years in verypleasurable ways and I am thereforeespecially gratified to maintain contactwith you.'

"[Ten years ago], we correspondedabout his article in the Quarterly whichgave the background of the BicentennialCommission. Chief Justice Burger hadjust appointed me to a committee offederal judges to assist with the planningof the bicentennial of the Constitution.In conversations with the Chief Justice,he spoke very highly of Herbert

Brownell."I am pleased to join the ranks of

those who are now honoring a greatAmerican lawyer, highly regarded in hisprofession, and a wonderful publicservant of whom Delta Upsilon may beproud."

The Hon. Eugene Wright,Washington '34

DU brothers try to incorporate ourFour Founding Principles into their lives,but very few place them on display forthe world to admire. For Brother HerbertBrownell, Jr., justice was his sure andsolid foundation, and over adistinguished lifetime he proved it toeveryone.

DU was clearly a Brownell familyaffair; as Herbert Brownell issurvived by his brothel; Phillip C.Brownell, Nebraska '33 and his nephew,Hugh Barnard, Nebraska '56. He is alsosurvived by tlVO sisters, four children,three grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren.

On occasional moments of"fraternity reflection," an affliction thataffects nearly every fraternity executive,I often wonder what Delta Upsilonwould be like if we were blessed withan alumni volunteer corps such thatevery undergraduate chapter was beingadvised by 5-7 dedicated advisorscomprising an Alumni Advisory Board(AAB).

Picture this: Every DU chapter hasan advisory board which is comprisedof men of different backgrounds andspecialties, even different chapters.Each board member would be assigneda specific area of fraternity operation inwhich he would consult and advise thechapter. For instance, a professionalaccountant could assist the chaptertreasurer with the budgeting andreceivables; an attorney could provideguidance to the chapter risk manager onissues of liability concern; and, anexperienced manager or businessexecutive could aid the chapter'sleadership with personnel issues,organizational management, and"getting things done." Here's how theAAB could be structured:

• Alumni Advisory Board Chairman:serves as the primary contact withthe president and other key chapterofficers, the InternationalFraternity, and the university/college.

• Financial Advisor: works with thetreasurer, assisting with themanagement of the chapter budget.

• Membership Recruitment Advisor:helps the VP-membershiprecruitment and his committeedesign and execute a rush program.

• Member Education Advisor: workswith the VP-member education andthe pledge educator to implement aneducation program for the brothersand an orientation program for newmembers.

• Alumni Relations Advisor: providesguidance to the chapter's alumniofficer on alumni activities,publications, and relations.

• Other Advisors: additional alumniadvisors appointed as needed.

The members of the AAB wouldsplit duties among its members and"take turns," so to speak, offeringcounsel, guidance, and assistance to ourundergraduate brothers. Because severalmen would serve on the advisory board,they need not be available all the time.

Forming an Alumni Advisory Boardcan be done by focusing on projectcentered alumni involvement. Foursteps must be considered. We must firstconcisely identify the function, or"project," the advisory board and itsalumni volunteer members will assume.Too often, we ask an alumnus to getinvolved without specifically definingwhat his role will be.

Next, we must clarify the timeparameters for the project. I can thinkof a number of local DU alumnivolunteers who have been involved inthe chapter they advise for many, manyyears. The experience and contributionsthey make are fantastic! However, theFraternity's young alumni rankscontinue to grow, and the trend is todedicate assistance for a more specific,short-term length of time. Asking anadvisory board member to serve for 2-3years is reasonable, with longer tenurescertainly desired.

The third step is to "make the ask,"and begin to fill the AAB positions.This can be done by members of thehouse corporation, the current alumniadvisors, and/or the chapter president.Again, highlight at the onset the advisorfunction and time involved whensoliciting alumni volunteers.

Finally, after serving for a period oftime, the AAB member is responsiblefor filling his soon-to-be vacatedposition. He must seek to identify asuccessor who will ensure stability inthe area of chapter operation and willhelp to continue forward progress.

Where is the value for thevolunteer? Clearly, the spirit ofvolunteerism and desire to be involvedprovides a sense of satisfaction andenjoyment. Where is the value for thechapter? The undergraduate membersbenefit from the advice and guidanceoffered by our alumni volunteers.

In my moment of "fraternityreflection," every chapter in DeltaUpsilon has an active Alumni AdvisoryBoard. The AAB and the undergraduatechapter work in cooperation, ensuringthe fraternity experience provided byDelta Upsilon meets the needs of itsmembers, both undergraduate andalumnus.

Is such a world possible? Yes, it is!How can YOU get involved? TheFraternity is always on the lookout foralumni desiring to contribute time andenergy to the growth of our chapters.Just contact one of the staff members atthe International Headquarters and we'llget you involved!

Interfraternally,

PI Delta Upsilon Gui e,

fn the InternsOver a decade ago , the concept of

an "Internet" was science-fiction tomost, but not to the President of DeltaUpsi lon at the time. In 1984, the Honorable Terry Bullock,President of ourFraternity, wrote that one ofDelta Upsi lon's long-term goals was, "Computerliteracy in every chapter, and computerinterconnections between chapters andwith our rilternational Headquarters."

Unfortunately, high speed modemsand powerful computers were quite expensive at the time. A few adventurousDU's accessed BBS systems, but thyywere quite primitive - far from what theInternet offers today. The Internet existed, but was"known to very few, primarily those at large universities or militaryinstallations who could afford the equipment needed for access .

The Internet has evolved to a system that is now a global communicationsmedium, accessible to anyone with afairly inexpensive computer and amodem.

President Bullock's vision of thepossibilities of information technologydid not expire. The values of information technology, providing electroniccommunications between chapters andour International Headquarters, hasbecome a reality in the 1990s.

Today, you can't open many magazines or watch much television withoutseeing an advertisement for a WorldWide Web site. This year , Delta Upsi lonhas also created a Web site , where usingthe Web site, alumni and undergraduatescan explore hundreds of online DeltaUpsilon resources .

Envisioning our' Futur'E!In the next few years, the brotherhood

we share in Delta Upsilon will not only beenhanced by the ability for fast communications through electronic mail, but also throughonline conferences on topics such as recruitment, building alumni clubs, and scholarship .Undergraduates demanding faster access tothe Intemet will have their chapter houseswired to provide access from each room .

The Fratemity will continue to developits Web site: perhaps by placing the Quarterly(past, present , and future) online, an onlineversion of the history of Delta Upsilon , andan online alumni directory, It is envisionedthat this directory could be an important networking tool.

The next century brings even more possibilities. Leadership Institute planning thatnow takes place during on-site meetings andover teleconferencing will likely take placeover videoconferencing. The Board of DirectOJ-S may even meet more frequently using"virtual" conferencing. While the Fratemitywill never replace its Convention and Assembly of Trustees through such digital means ,some chapters probably will ask to be virtually represented through such means in thefuture.

The possibilities of the Intemet m-eincredible. Rest assured, Delta Upsilon willcontinue to provide undergraduates and alumni the best online resources to continue toBuild the 21st century Fraternity .

Investing in the Development of CharacterAtribute to the late Roy E. Shaffer, Iowa '34

While he might object to thecharacterization, Roy Shaffer, larva '34was a trailblazer especially when itcame to support for his DU chapter at theUniversity of Iowa. His unexpecteddeath on April 13, left a legion of IowaChapter brothers shocked and saddened.Ironically, he will be missed by brothershe never met, as he had not returned tocampus in many years. For generationsto come, however, Brother Shaffer'sname will live on as one of the chapter'sgreatest benefactors.

About 10 years ago, Brother Shaffercame up with an idea which has inspiredmany others like it. Despite hisinfrequent visits to Iowa City, hemaintained a lifelong interest in theevents and activities of his chapter. Hewas kept abreast of DU happenings viathe chapter's newsletter, which he readdevoutly upon its arrival.

Facing his 80th birthday, BrotherShaffer decided it was time to repay thechapter. In initial conversations withstaff from the DU Headquarters, hesuggested that he wanted to make a

significant gift to his chapter, but that hewas hoping to do so by contributingsome tax-exempt bonds. It wasdetermined that by making a restrictedgift of the bonds to the DU EducationalFoundation, the interest could be madeavailable to the chapter, while BrotherShaffer realized a substantial tax benefit.

The result was an initial gift valuedat $100,000, which created the ShafferScholarship Trust. The trust wasestablished to provide biannualscholarships to PLEDGES of the IowaChapter. Subsequently, the Shaffer Trustreceived another gift of stock fromBrother Shaffer's sister, Ruth Whalen. Asa result, in eight years of the Trust'sexistence, over $50,000 has beenawarded to the chapter, which hasdistributed scholarships to more than 30Iowa DU pledges.

In addition, the chapter housereceives perpetual benefit as thebrotherhood uses some of the Trust'sproceeds to equip and furnish aneducational computer room - whichnow bears Brother Shaffer's name.

While he politely declined thechapter's recent invitations to return tocampus and be recognized for hisgenerous support, Brother Shaffer wasquietly proud of the assistance he lent theyoung men at the Iowa Chapter. He sawit as an investment in the Developmentof Character. Too many of us reachBrother Shaffer's age and view theFraternity as part of a distant and vaguepast - not worthy of significantconsideration or support.

Roy Shaffer saw things differently,and so his name will live on withboundless gratitude in the hearts andminds of his DU brothers.

Gifts to restricted funds, suchas Shaffer Trust, are normally notaccepted in any amount less than$2,500. Until September 30, i996,howevet; anyone may make amemorial gift of any amount to theShaffer Trust, by writing to: ShafferTrust, DU Headquarters, P. O. Box68942, indianapolis, IN 46268.

The Advocate

On Mentors and Mentorship .. OurMandate To Do More

E. Wright

Our undergraduate brothersm ay never have heard of mentors andour alumni , too, may be unfamiliar withthe word. A mentor is often defined as aclose, trusted and experienced counseloror guide, one who serves as a tutor,coach or teacher, who provides guidanceand direction.

Why should our Fraternity providementors?

One answer, is that they are in farshorter supply than at any other timesince the 19th century. The existence ofa mentor relationship is defined by thequality of interaction between the partiesinvolved. If it's acknowledged thatfathers constitute the first mentor form any boys and young men, then we allkn ow that the quality of these vitallyimportant initial mentor relationships hasbe en embattled in recent history.

It's impossible to be an absenteementor, but that's precisely theproposition with which we are facedtod ay, as 38 percent of our children areliving apart from their biological fathers.Estimat es for the turn of the centurysuggest that almost 50 percent of the kidsin the U. S. will wake up each morningwithout being able to greet their dads.

The highly respected PrincetonUni versity family historian, LawrenceSto ne, observes that, "The scale ofmarital breakdowns in the West since1960 has no historical precedent that Iknow of, and seems unique. There hasbeen nothing like it for the last 2,000years, and probably longer."

In Delta Upsilon, our response tothis unwelcome phenomenon ought to bea se lf-proclaimed mandate to furnish

mentors for today's students, and in sodoing, begin to rebuild a population ofmentors for generations to come. As afraternity, we are uniquely able to fill thisimportant mission.

How shall we begin? Well, in truth,our first mentor relationships werestarted 161-years ago, when DU wasfounded among 30 men from theFreshman, Sophomore, and Juniorclasses at Williams College . At no timein our fraternity's history, however, havewe had the requisite structure or scopefor a mentor program that I believe iscalled for today.

Many high school students come tocollege with only a rough idea of whichcourses to take to prepare them for somefuture occupation. Many have notselected a life work and they choosegeneral studies, liberal arts, science, orother courses that look promising. Manynew college students lack maturity,judgment and wisdom.

Every alumnus can recall a fraternitybrother who floated from one course toanother, seeking one he liked better.After trial and error, most are graduatedwith degrees that prepare them well forthe future. Others return for graduateschooling.

We can do better. These young menneed guidance early in their collegecareers . Parents, other relatives,clergymen and family friends constitutetypical and outstanding resource persons.But many of our pledges come fromdifficult family circumstances alreadydescribed , or arrive on campus fromdistant towns and cities, so regularparental guidance is not available. Thesestudents can benefit from coaching,counseling and exposure to some adultcommon sense and judgment. Those canbe provided by alumni in the community.Let us agree that we should give it.

If we gave it some thought, existingBig Brother programs could focus onassimilating our youngest members into

a larger life, rather than simply guidingthem through the pitfalls of pledgeship.

Recently, a law professor at awestern university suggested that eachmember of his faculty serve as mentorfor several students. I told him that itwas a grand idea. He was on the righttrack and some of us in the legalprofession contemplate that soon, younglawyers will have experiencedpractitioners as mentors to serve ascounselors, guides, coache s and teachers.The medical profession has longprovided a mentoring model withinternships, residencies and practicalexperience in training hospitals. Butmentoring is not just for graduatestudents and the professions.

Structuring such a Mentor Programfor each DU chapter will require studyand enthusiasm of chapter officers,interested alumni, parents, andacademicians.

Delta Upsilon has thousands ofdedicated alumni who will respond ifasked. Some would have the assistanceof their professional colleagues. Let usagree that we should have a MentoringProgram. It would surely attractfavorable responses from parents of ourundergraduate pledges and members,while also providing an importantadvantage for chapters to communicateduring rush. Perhaps most significant,however, would be Delta Upsilon'scontribution to meet an urgent culturalneed.
