I feel that our chapter is on the upward move in every facet. The upward movement in KO should prove to be very beneficial during Rush Week next fall. As rush is the backbone of our house, all graduate recommen dations will be helpful and greatly appreciated. This year has started off well with a strong showing of Fijis on campus. We ended fall term standing first in intramural sports and twelfth in grades, both a big jump from last year. Fijis were in charge of Greek Week and the IFC Sing on Moms' Weekend, and and are actively involved with various student organizations and associations. One of the main reasons behind Kappa Omicron's strong standing is our graduate relations. This summer we are planning The finance committee has looked into microcomputer sys tems to be used by the treasurer. It has been determined that the use of a spreadsheet could enhance the efficiency of keeping financial records. Anyone who knows of a method to obtain such a system is encouraged to give us a call at the house. All things considered, I expect no financial problems in the near future. Plans for a summer renovation of the house study rooms as indicated by Dr. Goger will provide a foundation for a strong fall rush that will keep the house filled above the 60-man break-even point, laying a solid basis for the future. With contin uing support of our graduate brothers, the Kappa Omicron Chapter will remain financially sound. Financially and fraternally, — John Van Dinter, Treasurer NOTICE Positions on the Kappa Omicron board will be come vacant in the near future.

I can happily report that the work has been paying off. Fall term we were ranked 12th in grades among the 28 fraternities and placed nine brothers on the university's honor roll. This is the best ranking we have received in over four years and our scholastic standing shows every sign of continuing to improve spring term. Over the past year, a definite change in attitude regarding scholarship has been evident. Instead of sweeping the program under the rug and hoping problems would magically disappear, it has become a major priority and the brothers are starting to jump on the scholarship bandwagon. I feel that the house's study atmosphere is much better than it has been in the past and will be even more so with the pro posed addition of a library/quiet study to be built over the Through hard work and determination, as well as your con stant support, we can make Kappa Omicron's scholarship pro gram one of the best on campus. Fraternally, — Dan Thomp son, Scholarship Chairman From the Rush Chairman Rush is one of the most important aspects of a fraternity. Finding the best men possible to carry on the customs and tradi tions of Phi Gamma Delta is not an easy task but a task that is always performed well by the men of KO. We had an excellent rush last year, thanks to the efforts of Tom Brugato, last year's rush chairman. That provided us with a pledge class that is highly diverse but still shows a great deal of unity. Our goal this year is to find 25-30 young men who will help this chapter scholastically and socially. We are very confident we will attain our goal. As always, graduate support is the backbone of rush. Any names of prospective rushees you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Fraternally, — David Reggiani, Rush Chairman Section Convention Report The 1985 Section Convention was held in Calgary, Canada, on February 17. Kappa Omicron sent brothers Tom Brugato, Matt Case, Mark Telles, and Bill Dierks to brave the icy cold weather of the Great White North. The first night was spent getting acquainted with 70 other brothers from the two sections of Phi Gamma Delta, and drink ing beer. The next day was spent meeting with Don McKay, Mark Wilkinson, and Peter Gray. The topics of discussion were rush, pledge education, alcohol awareness, ritual, and leader ship. Scott McCartney (right) and his dad, Scott (Fiji, Univ. of Arizona) enjoy a moment together during Dads' Weekend. impressed with the cleanliness of our chapter house, from the inside to the outside grounds. This again shows that we at Kappa Omicron take great pride in our fraternity. The fun all began on Friday, Feb. 8, with a function with the ladies of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and their fathers. Satur day afternoon brought campus tours — in the sun! — and the 19th-ranked Beaver basketball team at home and on big-screen TV at the chapter house. Saturday night was also very enjoyable as an evening was spent with the Delta Gamma sorority. Both nights had everything from a wet bar to blackjack — just for FUN, of course! Sunday was spent relaxing with our dads and saying long good-byes. As always, a meaningful and enjoyable weekend was had. We were very lucky to have several Fiji fathers from the KO Chapter, as well as one Fiji father from the University of Arizo na. These graduate brothers are: Thomas R. Whitmore,'43-309; son: John Richard N. Dodd,'51-426; son: Peter Richard M. Weaver,'56-521; son: Jon David G. Rimbach,'58-546; sons: Gregg and Doug Scott McCartney, Univ. of AZ; son: Scott We also had a few recent KO graduates stop by and say "hello." Some of the graduate brothers there were Denny Thompson and Jason Chin. In addition, we received donations that easily covered the weekend's expenses, and provided approximately $100 of extra funds to be used for house improvements. Thanks, dads, for your overwhelming generosity! "Thank you" to all who came and donated your time, tales, and money. All was greatly appreciated and we look forward to next year. Do, however, feel free to come by any time and "chat with the bros." Until next year. . . fraternally, — Darren Young, Graduate Relations The Fiji hospitality of Calgary Chapter was exceptional.

Not until one pursues the point on a collective basis does he, on his own, see a significance. When one gazes upon old fraternal composites, or yet, the yellowed brown images of the members of the Beaver Club seen hanging in the den, what thoughts pass through his mind? If he is like me, he'll feel a mild curiosity. Who are these men? Where The biggest significance of the Beaver Club photographs in the den is the fact that they're still there, still hanging up there in this house that is the physical part of our fraternity. After all these years, they are a reminder of where we came from. are they now? What roles did they play here at Kappa Omicron? Between the founders' composite and the most recent one, many histories have come to pass — stories that would fill vol- Many questions prevail, but no answers come — at least on an \r\nPage 4 THE BEAVER FIJI umes. Sadly, these tales are lost to KO, having left with those parting graduates who hold them dear. Each year, a wealth of history, personality, life, and brotherly friendship passes out our door, only to be renewed by the fall rush with young, new poten tial. Where, then, is the continuity that has kept our chapter thriving? How has KO endured amidst the barrage of everchanging attitudes and aspirations? The answer is "tradition." A man pledges Phi Gamma Delta, takes four or more years to learn the ways, leaves his influence on his younger brothers, and then passes on. This familiar cycle is repeated oft and has seen traditions come and go. Some are useful, others are banal — most are instrumental in providing the continuity that keeps this chapter alive. The material traditions uphold the individuality of the house at a particular time. Tubbings, serenades, the Islander, pledge keggers, etc., are the spices of ordinary life at KO. They hold importance for the same reason that salt is popular: if the food loses its taste, it is not desired. The abstract and spiritual traditions are by far the most crucial to the chapter's existence, and they must be appreciated by the time a man reaches his waning years in college. If they are not, they will not be passed down to the younger brothers. Chances are, when the younger grow older, having less expo sure to those traditions offered by the founding principles — such as brotherly love, selflessness, and above all, caring, — they will have less to pass on to those next in line. If this trend continues, such all-powerful influences will pass on like histories of the graduate brothers, perhaps only to be evident in the smiling, forgotten faces of a dusty composite. These traditions are important because they establish the foundation of a sense of purpose. Men must have dreams and goals in order to establish a direction and carry on. Brothers in a fraternity are no different. If the sole purpose of a chapter is to be satisfied just dealing with the material businesses that may come before it, the purpose disappears, the direction blurs, con fusion and apathy prevail, the chapter stagnates, and then the fraternity dies. Holding dear to what is in our hearts and minds, we can fend off the temptations of this entropy we call laziness, the ever-present cancer that all organizations deal with. While it is tragic that I know of none earlier, the names of past notable leaders in our chapter come to me only from recent years. Such names are Kaufman, James, Skillern, Ashdown, Thompson, Hensley, and Davis, to name a few. Though I don't know them well, I know well of their contributions that still grace our chapter since the turn of the decade. Sadly, even their names will soon fade from current chapter memory as it is my pledge class's turn to "pass the baton." With the exception of the junior class, I'm not aware of any younger brothers who know of the deeds of the above-mentioned graduates, or those of anyone else from earlier times. Such is the destiny of all who experience the chapter. Spring 1985 three business partners, known as Chico Restaurants Asso ciates, Inc.(CRA), have an exciting story to tell concerning how they are "making out big" in restauranteering, something the fi nancial community perceives to be a high-risk business. Bill was born in 1947 in Lafayette, California, in the East Bay area of San Francisco."He is a fun-loving, athletic individual who at age 35 — and still single — is the second youngest member of the group (of business partners). While he formally serves as the partnership's chief financial officer, he also serves as its unofficial leader." Bill is playfully referred to as "the Boss Man" by one of his partners. "He is credited as being *the brains behind the busi ness — the man who stays in the background on the operations side and makes sure the numbers come out right.'" Brother Main majored in economics and graduated from OSU in 1970 with a degree in liberal arts. Bill learned to fly through OSU's ROTC program for Navy flight officers. His Navy career was cut short by a knee injury he received in his senior year playing tailback on the OSU football team. "The knee injury kept him out of the service but it didn't stop the Pittsburgh Steelers from drafting him. Although he was cut by the Steelers, Main did play part of a season in the Canadian Football League after which he took his $5,000 bonus from the Steelers and invested it in real estate in Chico, CA." "Bill worked as a part-time bartender while at OSU, and later as a full-time bartender and then manager of Henry Africa's in San Francisco — the first of the so-called fern bars that sprang up in the early '70s. In April 1973, Bill went to Alaska as food and beverage manager for the Mount McKinley Park Hotel, and in December of 1973, he took over management of the Shore Bird Restaurant in Princeton-by-the-Sea, CA. Between 1976 and 1979, after the Chico Restaurant Associates, Inc., partnership was formed. Bill worked as a restaurant consultant, during which time he helped open five Bay Area restaurants. One of them is Harlow's, an upscale dinner house." The partners' venture with the Shore Bird has been a stormy one, but it has taught them a great deal. "The CRA partners developed their skills in solving problems early in their restaurant careers by taking on challenges that others 'with more sense' would have walked away from. Through fixing broken equipment, battling foul weather, fighting bureaucratic red tape, and confronting unsympathetic bankers, the partners have kept alive their enthusiasm to pursue their dream of oper ating a multi-million dollar, landmark restaurant." "The Shore Bird has a 1.5 million customer base within a 30-minute drive over the mountains from San Mateo and the Bay Area Pininsula to the east and from San Fransisco to the north. The area is on one of the most scenic routes (Coast Highway 1) between San Francisco and Santa Cruz and features magnificent vistas of coastal lowlands and mountains, shorelines bluffs, and beaches." Yet years from now, when their faces, along with those of men and to those surrounding them: they cared. They may be "In the first year under the partners' management, the Shore Bird increased sales by $100,000. It should be pointed out that the Shore Bird didn't surpass $1 million in sales until 1980 and the Sandpiper (their other restaurant) didn't become a reali ty until August 1979." forgotten — their deeds known only by them — but the house will still stand ready for younger brothers to carry on.

According to an obit uary, Harvey "learned the men's wear retailing business at an early age from an uncle and managed Phelps-Terkel, a favored Corvallis men's wear store of the time, to put himself through college." Harvey was "one of the many OSU Fijis who came out of Orange County, California," writes, "Scram" Graham,'35178.

If only 20% of these recipients respond to the need for financial assistance and contribute to the communications program, we would receive 215 responses. If each of these brothers sent just $25, a total of $5,375 would be accumulated in a year's time. These figures (both number of contributors and dollar amount given) would surpass the 1982 KO record of $4,795 given by 174 brothers. To set this kind of goal is not at all unreasonable considering the benefit we know you receive from the continued strengthening of the bond of brotherhood brought about by a good communications program. We urge you to consider giving this year (if your name is not already on the Honor Roll below) in order to perpetuate the benefits of fraternity.

Enclosed is my 1985 voluntary graduate contribution in the amount of $ Detach Here Dear Brothers, The manner in which funding for the graduate communications program is explained on page six of this issue of the Beaver Fiji makes it appear rather simple to raise a healthy amount of money to support the program. And it is simple! TLny program of this nature benefits the majority, and if the majority offers support, each individual has to do very little work. In this case the saying is true, "Many hands make light work!" The graduate communications program is designed to be self-supporting, and with a small effort (one contribution per year — any amount you wish) from a large number of brothers (how about 100%!?) , a great deal can be accomplished. "Thank you" to each of you who has contributed through the years, and especially appreciated are the 70 graduates who have already shown their support of their chapter in 1985 by sending $1,888. If you have not yet given this year, please consider the ease of doing so and send your contribution today. Supporting the refurnishing of the chapter house can also be simple according to the above-mentioned method. If you don't have funds to give, you could donate some of your time and energy or some needed materials or services. Let any of the men listed on page one of the newsletter know how you would like to help. We remind you of the great importance of any assistance you can give the under graduates concerning rushees for next fall. Fiji Rush Chairman David Reggiani awaits your return of the enclosed rushee recommendation cards. If you can, fill it out soon and drop it in the mail. You may just start the process which brings a young man to "enjoy the Fiji experience."
