"Well, The above quotes a sample of some of the comments offered by various Graduate members and National officers upon hearing of the Chaptei'ls 1st Quarter academic performance. Chi Upsilon deserves our dommendatioh for the best Quarterly grade average we can remember. Coming from the bottom in the past academic year the Chapter recorded a Fall Quarter average of 2.38 to place it first among Chicago Fraternities and just a shade below the Very high all men's average. Maintenance of this level of scholarship could well entitle Chi Upsilon to one or more cups awarded by the National. A. KNIGHT COOLIDGE '67, RICHARD J. STONE '67 and ROBERT E. HICKEY '66 were initiated in February. 'We^ weTcome them. In Fabruary the Chapter pledged the following men, all class of 1968: ROBERT BRIAR, Dayton, Ohio BRUCE CASIVELL, South Miami, Florida RICHARD COHN, Bronx, New York THOMAS HUSSEY, Alexandria, Virginia, grandson of William Hutch- inson, Rutgers '16, U of C Emeritus Professor of History HARVEY LITTLEJOHN, Alexandria, Virginia MICHAEL NEMEROFF, New York City DAVID RIDER, Butler,Pennsylvania VICTOR ROSTOW, New Haven, Conn. They are undergoing an enlightened pledge training program headed by JACK H. HARRIS '66. The Chapter is justly proud of a fine group. The new cabinet which was elected in February is headed by CHRISTOPHER R. FLORY '66, President. His maturity, academic statureCwinner of the MIBW/iY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION award last year for greatest improvement in scholarship), athletic prowess(Major "C" in swimming and baseball) and seriousness, of purpose indicate his qualifications for leading the Chapter. Treasurer is JAMES H. BLOCK '67.(Jim is probably the the man most likely to collect bills we've seen in the job in years) Recording Secy, is DOUGLAS LEE PETERSEN '67. Jim and Doug are both second year lettermen. H. HARDY ADASKO '67 is Corresponding Secy, and ROBERT G. -STANEK '67 is-ditst-erian?—As—ar-group they face a number of inherited problems such as comparatively small Chapter membership and a large ($2,800) back rent deficit owed to the Graduate Chapter. On the posi tive side is the fact that there will be virtually no turnover of mem bership thru graduation in June. The rent is current for the present academic year and Graduate support and interest is at a very high level. As reported previously $885 was received in 196^ dues, the '+th consec utive record. From our 1st mailing this year $5^5 has already been received from just 36 Brothers. With your help we can surpass $1,000 in dues this yearl Please send in your dues today using the enclosed envelope. Graduate Treas. ALAN K. BARLOW '3I advises that duplicate dues payments are acceptable. Graduate Pres. JAMES W.
