:J~e Gnric~menf o/ :Jravef C'7 HE summer vacation period is J one of the desirable fringe bene­fits of the academic community. It provides an opportunity for relaxed living. Traveling provides one of the most rewarding of all leisure­time activities especially when one travels with a purpose.

Several weeks ago Mrs. Spotts and I visited friends in the Ashe­ville, North Carolina, area. This trip gave us an opportunity to inves­tigate three most interesting areas. My paternal grandfather was a member of Sheridan's cavalry dur­ing the last ten months of the Civil War and on the way south we fol­lowed his route from Fort Harrison, south of Richmond, to the surren­der at Appomattox Court House.

The next stop was Old Salem, the restored eighteenth century Moravi­an community in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Both of us enjoyed watching the several craftsmen and visiting restored homes and places of business. Our home is near Lilitz, originally a Moravian community, and many of our friends are Mora­vians. Earlier, during last spring I read a recent biography of David Tannenburg, the eighteenth century Lilitz organ maker. We were quite excited to find a Tannenburg organ at Old Salem.

My philosophy of traveling dic­tates that opportunities must pre­sent themselves for meeting people in their grass roots, staying with them long enough to relate in a meaningful way. While searching for a champion tree near Little Switzerland, I met a former engi­neer who gave up his position in industry and purchased a small mo­tel near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Here, among the mountains of western North Carolina, he is rear­ing his children and, as he put it, "finding a new dimension in living." I cherish the memory of the won­derful people I have learned to know while traveling in the U. S. and in Europe.

HISTORY OF GAMMA PSI BY M EL K YSER, Editor

Gamma Psi of Phi Kappa Tau

The growth and development of a fraternity chapter on a college campus is much like that of a young child who has ju t taken hi first step . The growth of Gamma Psi chapter at outhwest T exas tate College in San Marco, T exas, is no exception.

The crucia l fir t step for a group of twenty-three men began when igma Kappa Epsilon, a local frater­nity, wa formed in November of 1965. The local grew out of another local group at Trinity University, an Antonio, T exas. Within the month several representa­ti es of Phi Kappa Tau from the Beta Alpha chapter at the University of T exa , Austin, visited the loca l and acquainted th e members with Ph i Kappa Tau basic beliefs and ideals.

igma Kappa Epsilon took its first pledo-e class of four men in February, 1966, and in M arch member of the local met officially with Phi Kappa T au when Wi ll iam J enkins, assistant nationa l secretary, visited with the group. Hi visit was followed by the unanimous decision of the members of Sigma K appa Epsi lon to

petttJOn Phi Kappa Tau for colony status. This step was fin alized on pril 20, 1966.

During the summer of 1966 several officer retreats were held to p lan the follovving year's program. me p ledge were taken during the 1966 fall rush.

As public ervice projects that fall the olony spon­sored a record drive for a Viet am military radio sta­tion built a campus pirit ign that announ ed all up­coming athletic events, ponsored an a ll- chool "Surfer D ance," and participated in the annua l campus Christ­mas Fe tival of Song.

The colony took eight pledge in the 1967 spring rush, brino-ino· its total to thirty-one men. Best Pledge and Best ![ember awards were created to recognize out­standing chap ter excellence. Other activities during the semester were the Pledo·e Princess Ball, a dance given in honor of the top pledge from each campus sorority, and Fight ight, an an nual spring boxing event.

During the 1967 fa ll term the colony took fifteen pledges tha t brought the membership total up to forty­five men. As a comm unity ervice project, the colony sponsored two underpriviledged children in pre-school train ing a t the San i[arcos Community Center.

The 1968 spring seme ter saw the creation of the Allan Woods Award, established to memorialize a de­ceased member of our Board of Governors and to be presented to the graduating senior who has contributed most to the Fraternity. In intramurals the colony repeat­ed last year's achievement when it won the Fight ight trophy by winning four out of five entries.

Southwest T exa State College, a four-year liberal a rts school, is tra tegically lo a ted for service to south­west and centra l T exas. Built on College H eights in San M arcos, the college is fifty miles from San Antonio and thirty m iles outh of Austin, the state capital.

The chool, which is anticipating an enrollment of 9,000 students in the fa ll of 1968, cla im as its most famous alumnus a 1930 graduate, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the thirty-sixth president of the United States.

THE L U EL

COLONY HISTORY. In the mid-thirtie five loya l student recog­nized a great need exi ted, both on and off campus, for the promulga­tion of the aims and traditions of La a ile College. The e five under­graduates felt thi ituation could be be t remedied throuah the for­mation of a clo e-knit society which would alway wholeheartedly upport all of LaSalle's undertakina whether they be in social, cultural,

or academic fi elds. Throuah the combined efforts of John Gui chard, Theodore Berry, C. Francis Sullivan, John J. K elly, and Lawrence Truitt, the Sigma Phi Lambda Fraternity was founded on the La­Salle campus on Thursday, ovember 14, 1935.

Although the fraternity wa not forma lly reacti vated after World War II until February 2, 1961 , it could be said that the proce of reactivation wa begun on March 8 1959. It wa at thi time that twenty pirited student decided to take action in order to alleviate the feeling of tudent apathy that preva iled on campus. Although this group was organized on a fraternal ba i , the member found it expedient to officially exist a the Committee of Explorer of tudent Council. La ter, for their out tanding achievement and di tingui hed ervice to the college, the C.O.E. received an award from La aile.

In ovember, 1960 the C .O .E. made known that they were contemplatina recognition a a fraternity on campus. Before their plan cry talized, they were unexpected ly approached by the alumni of igma Phi Lambda through their campus representa tive and then faculty member, Dr. John Gui chard. The C.O.E. voted unanimously to a ume the aim tradition , and name of ign1a Phi Lambda.

Gamma Omeaa achieved colony tatus on February 5, 1968. The initia tion of colony member into Phi K appa T au vva accom­pli hed through the effort of ritual teams from Beta Omicron chapter at niver ity of M a r land and Alpha Gam ma chapter a t Delaware.

The ucce which the chapter enjoys in sponsoring its functions i due largely to the individual talents of it members. The present undergTaduate brotherhood include four class presidents, numerous tudent cou ncil officers, chief ju tic of the student court, half of

the executive board of the LaSalle Residence Council, nine members of Who's Who on A merican College Campuses in the Ia t two years, ix var ity a thlete and six Dean's Honor List students. The fra­

ternity maintain the highe t cumulative index of all ocial fra­ternitie on campus. The current president, Robert C. Gou ld, is also vice-pre ident of the Interfraternity Council. This council in add ition to Phi K appa Tau consi t of Tau K appa Epsilon, Delta Sign1a Pi, Pi Sigma Ep ilon, Siama Beta Kappa, and colon ies of Phi K appa Theta, Pi Kappa Phi, and Phi K appa Psi.

H e was the fir t to introduce the system of one teacher in tructing a number of students of the arne age, a ll u ing- the same tex tbook.

LaSalle was founded on March 20, 1863, and occupied three urban ites before settling, in 1929, on the Wi ter Farms around bordering Olney avenue and 20th street, Philadelphia. Since then. L a­Salle has increa eel its physical plant to its current 20 m illion doll ar level, and new cia room and physical recreation buildings are im­minent.

Following its tradition as a liberal arts college, LaSalle offer course of study in the schools of arts and sciences, and the school of bu ine administration. H er tudents come from fifty tates and no fewer than fifteen foreign countries. * * *

new experience was further com­bined with the problem of participat­ing in the first formal ru h. Em­phasizing uch points as newne s, freedom of expression, and academic excellence, Phi Kappa Tau succeed­ed in taking twelve p ledges. The fraternity developed rapidly, thanks to clo e teamwork by colony members and pledge . Tangible evidence of this teamwork was the winning of the 1967 Homecoming trophy, the athletic department's trophy for at­tendance at ba ketball games, and the intramural softball champion­ship.

The Iowa Wesleyan colony fur­ther proved its efficacy by contrib­utina tand-out varsity ath letes to school' football, basketball, wre t­ling, golf, track and baseball teams.

Phi K appa Tau's involvement in campus activities was not, however, confined to ath letics since within the thirty members of this new group were found the president of Student Senate, six members of H ershey H all Court, a large part of the staff of KOED, the campus radio station, members of the R eligious Life Coun­cil, and members of scholastic honorary groups.

An election of officers in February and the initia tion of nineteen men as Fraternity members at large on March 15, 1968 were important milestones in the history of the Iowa Wesleyan colony before the group officially achieved coveted chapter status on May 19, 1968.

A Pioneer School. Iowa Wes­leyan traces its origin to the efforts of sixteen local citizens who on Feb­ruary 17, 1842 incorporated the Mt. Pleasant Literary Institute, reincor­porated as the Mt. Pleasant Collegi­a te Institute by February 15, 1844. Pioneer H all was completed in M arch 1845 and academy instruc­tion began. The school vvas accepted as a pro pective Methodist university by the Iowa Conference in Septem­ber 1849.

Under President J ames Harlan, the ta te granted a charter as Iowa We leyan niversity and a collegia te program leading to a degree was added to the academy course. Old Main was built by O ctober 1855. The Bachelor of Arts degree in 1856 to Winfield Scott Mayne was the

DELTA ALPHA'S' CHARTER

first baccalaureate degree to be con­ferred we t of the Missi ippi River. Co-education resulted in the first B.A. to a woman in the United States, earned by Lucy W . Kilpat­rick Byrkit in 1859.

On July 1, 1912 the University be­came Iowa Wesleyan College as em­phasis wa now placed entirely upon the liberal arts program, although the Academy lasted until 1917. Full recognition was extended 'in 1912-191 3 by the Methodist University Senate and accred itation by the

orth Central Association of Schools and Colleges followed in 1917.

A building program resulted in the con truction of the Chapel and Hall of Science in 1892 and Eliza­beth H ershey Hall, a dormitory for women, in 1897. In 1901, the fir t University Library of eight thousand volumes was es tablished and housed in the Chapel building.

Additional buildings were erected in the 1920's: The Gymnasium in 1923, a well as an addition to H er­shey H all, and the P.E.O. Memorial Library in 1928, given by the Sis­terhood to recognize the seven founders who had been Iowa Wes­leyan students.

The decade of the 1950's saw the erection of Sheaffer- Trieschmann Hall in 1952 with additions in 1960; the John V·le ley H olland Student U nion in 1957 Adam Trieschmann H all of Science in 1961, and M c­Kibbin Hall in 1966.

During one hundred and twenty­five years of ex'i tence, Iowa We ley­an College has granted approximate­ly 4,625 baccalaureate degrees. * * *

of Mount Hood in Oregon in 1939 for the . . Fores t ervice. Since that date the firm has been building ski lifts at an ever increasing rate. During a 10-year period from 1955 to 1965 Riblet Tramway con truct­ed approximately one-fourth of all the chair-lift bu ilt in the .S.

H ansen wa born in Bridgeport, ann ., and came to Spokane as a

young ter with his parent because of his fa ther's health. Hansen turn­ed down a scholar hip at Yale Uni­ver ity to become an engineer for Riblet following his graduation from \Jilashington Sta te in 1927 where he became a member of Omega Phi, the group that became Alpha K ap­pa of Phi K appa T au.

That same year, 1927, Hansen joined the late Byron C. Riblet, founder of the firm in 1897 in Spokane.

"H e offered me good money and I real ly needed it," Han en recall s.

One of the most spectacular, re­cent projects is a 28-mile freight tramway that sta rt . on the matted floor of the jungle near the epal­India border and climbs the Him­alayas to the epale e capita l of K atmandu - elevation 7, 707 feet.

,\ t one end of the tramway is the hea y heat of the jungle crawling with bea ts and reptiles, a t the other end the thin, cold a ir of the massive mountain range that boasts the highest peak in the world, Mt. Ev­eres t, nearby.

H an en ha been around the world a t least four time to visit and direct Riblet project . H e flew to Nepal four time during the con­struction phase there and in recent years has upervised projects in Ja­maica and Australia. * * *

LIBOU RN E- TH E OLD TOWER AND REFLECTION

H ow i it to be a business ex­ecutive in a foreign country?

Thank to a fine article by Pelayo V . Riera, Cornell '40, THE LA EL i able to give some insight into a few of the ba ic differences between how business is conducted in the . and in France.

Riera, a Cuban busine s execu­tive until his company's property

was confiscated by Castro in 1960, is now connected with Sofrandi , ociete Franca i e de Developpement I ndu triel, Libourne 33, France. The R iera have four children, Christina, 19 ; Pelayo, 18; Diana, 16 ; and Marco, 14.

Paris! PARI !! To my teen-age daughter, it i a glittering and glamorous tar on her horizon ; to the average touri t, it is a beautiful and in tere ting city; to the Pari ian, it is a p lace to get away from and to the foreign businessman, it i a maze of rule , regulation and fru trations ari ing mainly from a lack of under­standing and a difference in national p ychologie .

Although Paris i no more repre entative of all of France than ew York i of the nited tate, the ba ic differences which frequently bewi lder the Ameri­can businessman are present throughout the country.

To work in a foreign country a fluent command of the language is desirable, if not e en tia!. But more important yet is to be able to under tand and feel how a peop le will rea t to a given ituation and why. I t helps to have a Latin family ba kground if you are going to represent American intere t in a Latin country. J ust as the French ar baffled by typically

meri an reactions, the reverse i true and if you an both f I and und r tand both ide , half the

battle is won.

LIBOURNE (GIRONDE ) FRANCE,

THE L U EL

Business Executive Even a fluen t familiarity with the language will

not pare you from the unexpacted difficulty arising from ubtle emantic differen e . I remember a long e ion with a French a socia te while we were preparing

an annual budget and wer di cu ing expenses which could be legally written off. E erything was goino-moothly un til my fri end casually mentioned "inves t­

ment expen e " and stopped me dead in my tracks. Tnve tmen t ex pen e ? ? Had I completely forgo tten my elementary accounting studied 30 years ago? I t took nearly two hour to clear the matter up. \'Ve had been confu ed by the fact that ' depen e " in French freely tran lated a "expenses", really means "expenditures" or "di bur ements" whereas the French word which is the equivalent of our "expense" is "frais". These subtle differences in the meanings of apparen tly similar words - known by the French as "false friends" -can throw a monkey wrench in the works a t the most unexpected moment.

The paycheck of the French employee is another mystery to be slowly deciphered. With a cost of living higher than Wa hington by 30% or more, you are at first taken aba k by the low rates of pay for plant and office personnel. Gradually you find out tha t, added on to the ba ic pay, you find a "performance premium" a "hou ing a llowance", a " eniority bonus" which added to per onal government subsidies for housi~g, number of children, medical expenses includ­ing medicines, single wage arner in the family and others, make up the so-called "sauce" which rounds

out the month ly income. It i still low by our standards, but the amazingly high payroll taxes of 50% or more, needed to finan ce the personal subsidies, are carcely an encouragement to business to raise the basic wages. The e a re usually raised periodically by laws anyway. I often secretly wonder whether I really know just how much a given employee is really cos ting us, in­cluding a ll the sauces. They keep popping up unex­pectedly.

Contrary to the prevailing practice in the United States, there is frequently a vast gulf between the pay of labor and that of executives. This may be due, in part, to the existence in Fran e of an "aristocracy of the intellect" . Only a very small percentage attend the universitie and these become the intellec tual elite of France who frequently hold the key po itions in business, indu try and government. The brilliant youth i culled from the mass of students by a sy tern of examinations which, clue to the overcrowding of the school system, are intended to be ruthle sly eliminatory.

The existence of this "elite" may also account for a very different point of view in French management practice. In the United Sta tes, many executives dele­gate authority to their subordina tes and expect them to come up with new ideas and suggestion . It i recognized a a sign of initia tive and interes t in the job a t hand and this initia tive i often rewarded. I n France, the man in a subordinate position is often fearful of taking an initia tive becau e it might be in­terpreted as meddling. More often than not, he is expected to keep his place and merely execute the orders which come from above.

It is in the handling of these and other differences and the need to bridge them harmoniously which makes the task of the American businessman abroad a fasci­na ting and a rewarding one. * * *

THE LAU El

practice a e tige of bygone day , that' been done too much already by other writer . But let' for a moment imply Yiew the pre-initiation period in a pro­grammin rr sen e : I there a role it m ight en ·e in the modern fraternity' proaram?

Pre- Ini tia tion Period Nothing New

The pre ence of a pre-initia tion period and initia­tion ritua l in a lmo t eYery culture and ubculture known to man can be documented. It o·enerally amount to a ymbolic ge ture, markina the emeraence of the candi­date to full o ietal right and re pon ibilitie . Normally the period and it ub equent ritual were de ianed to impres upon the quali fying part his role a a mature member of that group. A a well defined ubcu lture aroupinrr of the uniYer ity communit , socia l fra ternities have conformed to thi pattern since their inception, well over 100 year aao.

For the mo t part, the negatiYe feature of a harm­fu l pre-initiation period break down into three criti­ci ms · they are: ( I ) A trict observance enforced on the pledge of rigid codes of conduct, which is intensi­fi ed during the pre-initiation week; (2) Menial duties around a nd about the phy ical p lant of a servitude nature, many times of a personal service obligation to the member li ing in the hou e, o ten ibly to make the pledae more aware of how the physical plant is run, but in many chapter clearly only for the value of the cleaning service rendered, and to distinauish the lower from the higher tatu member ; and in many ca es, (3) an outright license to haras, sometimes in a most outrageou fashion concei ed of a a right by the higher tatu member to be u ed against the lower statu .

I roni a lly thi happen in the one place the pledge hould consider a anctua ry and not a place of "hell":

the fraternity hou e. H ow obviou it is to all but the very ab urd when it is omplained of by the initiated members to the p ledge cia s tha t they aren' t spending enough time at the hou e, and then driving them away agam b hara ing them when they do.

Pre-In itia tion Phase Can Be Useful

I ubmit tha t the pre-initiation p hase can be u eful and important if viewed as an adjunct of our initiation period. It eem to me our experiment with a " help week" ha produced les than sati factory results. It was a significant tep forward, and it erved to get us off dead enter, but we m ust now move onto more ad­vanced thinkin rr in this area. It' s time to begin thinking in terms again of a pre-initi ation week, and not a "help week', and particularl y not a "H ell Week" . It shou ld be obvious to a ll but the completely oblivious by now that a " hell ' eek" is not only ab urd, but dangerous. The que tion of what acts we m ight do in lieu of hazing i only one mall part of the problem. We must re­define in more concrete terms what a pre-initiation period i supposed to accompli h .

M ental ha ras ment as a substitute for physical haz­ing also puts us no fa rther down the road in resolving this problem. The purpose of this period (and let u

SUMMER • 1968

ROBE RT D. LEATHE RM AN, AKRON '62

deliberately drop the week connota tion ) i not to te t the candidate in one final form (we should know by now who i qualified to be initiated and who isn' t ), it purpose should be to better prepare these people for their responsibilities as an initiated member of our F raterni ty. It should be a time of forward-looking as well as a ucce sful culmination, and not in the sense that, " thank God, this stuff is going to be over in a few days."

Pledgeship- An Exciting Period

Pledgeship should and can be an exciting period in the life of an initiate, but only if we enti rely reject the notion of p ledge duties and move towards the idea of membership responsibility, and more specifically, prepara tion for these respon ibilitie through an appro­priate pledgeship and a satisfying pre-initiation period. I'm prepared to argue that pledges hould not be al­lowed the privilege of dutie at a ll, but that thi i only for the initiated . This will be ridiculed, I'm well aware, becau e p ledges are viewed traditionally as work ani­mal , and work is just that, regard le s of any mental gymnastics involved in redefining it. And, of cour e, most members view pledges as ob liaa ted to do these duties for the benefit of the member themselve , and a a sub titute for their O\ n respon ibilitie .

But pledgeship hould be predica ted on the idea tha t it i for the benefit of each man involved in the pledgeship, both severally and jointly as a cia s and for the fra ternity as a whole, and decidedly not for the members as individual . If the whole pledge hip and pre-initi ation period can be predica ted on the concept of what is be t and most atisfying for the p ledge in­volved, and not a what is convenient for the house' , we may just accomplish omething. It i truly a time of passing onto nevv respon ibi lities and right , but from the perspective of areater enjoyment and as umption of grea ter responsibility, and not, as it is now, mere relief from hara ment and valueless pledgeship dutie . * * *
