We will do our best to enhance the season here at the Chapter House by hosting receptions aifter each home game as well as the Homecoming game against Beloit on October 17. Chi Upsilon will have a much different look as the new school year begins. As usual, there ctre new faces living in the Chapter Hotise. Some of the more familiar faces, 22 of them, have left as a result of graduation. We will begin the year with an undergraduate membership of forty men. Once again, our rush committee will have their work cut out for them\ trying to find a qioantity of quality men to consider for pledging. We look forwsird to two fine pledge classes this year. Socially, the fall quarter will not lack in events at Phi Gamm. In addition to receptions for brothers, graduate brothers, parents.and friends after football games, we will keep tilings fun with otiier events. Two highlights eire the Halloween Peirtyy and a return of the New Year's Eve Party, held on the laist day of the quarter. Each week tiiere are two events vdiich will ease the tensions of Imrd study. On Thursdays, our study breatks tear students away form tiieir books for a little conversation and music. On Fridays, we will continue the tradition of cocktails cind formal dinner; graduate brothers are welcome and encouraged to attend for some good conversation and good food. If all this isn't enoi:^, there are sure to be a few surprises to keep everyone busy. We are all very enthusiastic around Chi Upsilon that not only the fall quarter but also the rest of the new year will be successful. Graduates, come by amd share in this enthusiasm; vdiether in the form of a chapter meeting, a meal, a special event, or just a plain visit.

Simply stated, we want to be a better fraternity with better members, programs, houses, caucuses and graduate relations; and a greater commitment to oiur ideals. All efforts will be directed toward this program. You will be hearing more in the coming months. Meanwhile, let us have your thoughts on our quest for excellence. What can your chapter do to become better? What can the International Fraternity do to meJce this quest successful? What cein you £is a graduate or undergraduate do? The 20th Fiii Academy; Think about it. Write us! Chi Unsilon Wins Awards Fiji Academy is traditionally both a fantastic learning experience and a fun time. The 20th Fiji Academy, held August 2-6 at Ohio State University proved to be no exception. Over 600 undergraduates and ICQ graduates heard distinguished Fijis such its Bob Albin (Missouri, '62), Bill Zermsui (Michigan and Dick McCormick (Iowa State '61) speak about leadership and chapter operations. Tlte Chi Upsilon delegation of Corresponding Secretary Bill Flevares '88, Jeff Brown '89 and Brent rown '69 not only gained valuable knowledge but were also pleased to accept 2 awards on behalf of the chapter. The chapter won the John Templeton McCarty Proficiency Awaird for the first time since its incep^on 3 years ago. This award is presented to all chapters that do an exenqjlary job of following rules', paying bills on time, eind functioning efficiently on a day-to-day basis. 59 of our 127 chapters won this award. Our major achievement however was an Honorable Mention, Ath out of 127, for the Baker Cup. The chapter could not have won this honor without the tireless work of Social Service Chairman John Steinberg '88, vrtiose efforts were chronicled in this publication's winter issue. These 2 awairds show that Chi Upsilon is joining the rest of the fratemitj' in the "Quest for Excellence." With a little effort, the chapter can apply the lessens of the Academy to make 1987-88 a better year. Perge Fraternally, Bill Flevares (Corrgspondlhg SecTel Tuition Rises Again The U of C was ranked as the Ath itWBf expensive coi-hpge in the nation counting room, board and tuition, being surpassed only by Bennington, Sara Lawrence and Bfumard Colleges.
