For in 1968, the last traces of the orig inal chapter membership will have gone, and with the graduation of the class of 1968, there will be none left who remember first hand the men who formed and guided the chapter at its beginning. Thus, as the chapter moves out of its first phase of membership, many graduates will no Kim Overcash Leads Phi Gam Singers Fiji's Show Vocal Superiority In Winning 3rd "Steppe Sing" Alpha Upsilon maintained its vocal super iority on campus last quarter by capturing its third straight "Steppe Sing" trophy with a winning rendition of "Summertime" . Now in its third year, the "Steppe Sing" features separate fraternities and competition sororities. Brother Jim Yeaman (Auburn MC for between Graduate '66) served as the Squires-Mortar Board sponsored event. Kim Overcash (Auburn *69) directed this year's winning performance. Kim was pre- ceeded by Glenn Bannister (Auburn who directed the fraternity's first '64) vic doubt wonder what the attitudes of the new membership are towards the principles and goals that were originally so important. The chapter has indeed changed. New emphasis is being placed on areas that had before been considered secondary. Old activities which were in the past regarded as major goals are now considered less important. These changes have not however resulted from a betrayal of our original purposes, but rather from a continued dedication to them. For the chapter from its beginning has been dynamic; and, as the old goals have been accomplished, ones have maintained. The Chapter performed its "Summertime" arrangement recently for the Fraternity Forum banquet, sponsored by the I.F.C. change Despite Alpha Upsilon's record 1.72 GPA for Fall Quarter, the chapter fell to a 1.60 for Winter Quarter, 1968. The Chapter placed third among Auburn's 27 fraternities. Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Tau were iove the Fijis in grades for the Winter Quarter. In overall competition for the entire school year. Phi Gamma Delta ranks second, fifteen thousandths of a point behind Beta Theta Pi. Renewed dedication by brothers and pledges could very easily result in capturing the Scholarship Trophy for the entire year. set. Thus as new economic soundness, membership stability and efficiency have been accomplished, new goals of athletic excellence, social accomplishment and interfraternity leader ship have been set. Yes, the chapter has changed, but with out change, the tone and spirit of the original membership could not have been tory.

There is still overriding goal of producing within chapter, men of scholarship, character social accomplishment. To do this, old principles are rigidly maintained: attention to scholarship, awareness of morality, emphasis on maturity. But there must also and, to placed be a striving for excellence, provide this, new goals have re the old ones as the old ones have been fulfilled. So though the chapter may appear to have changed, graduates can be assured that the new membership remains dedicated to the founding principles and that the chapter will continue to repre sent and maintain its proud heritage st Auburn.

As a result of this dedication to fiscal re sponsibility, the financial status of Alpha Upsilon is sound. The undergraduate brothers have no accounts receivable at this time, but the graduates still have a $2000.00 accounts receivable balance. If the Chapter could recover this money, we could make major improvements to the house and grounds. The financial committee is seeking sug gestions and opinions as to how to set up a House Building Fund to supply a sizeable amoiant of money in about six to ten years for the construction of a new house. The regular mortgage payments acd repair costs can easily be borne by the active chaptei; but as you know, there is no extra money much quicker billing and receipts. coupled with the would amount a useable sum an accounting Intramurals...
