President's Report The current cabinet has been very pleased with the progress Alpha Upsilon has made since our term began Fall Quarter. The cabinet immediately setforth its goals for providing the chapter's direction for the coming year. Our first and foremost goal was to in volve the undergraduate brotliers in a workable plan to solve our housing problem. Our second goal was to improve our scholarship after finishing 2nd in grades the past three quarters. And finally, we wanted to continue our excellence in serving our community. The latter two goals, much to our pleasure, have been exceeded beyond our imagination. We finished first in grades fall and winter quarter and remcwed all doubt as to the Fiji's supremacy in scholarship. We also raised 89,000 in fund raising and instituted several new programs in our community service effort. Our j)rimary goal is in the working stages. Presently the undergraduates are a worldng part of the House Coq)oration's New House Fund Drive. A majority of the undergraduates are involved in one of the four committees seiwing the 1 louse Fund Drive. At present we have collected over 850,000 and are veiy o{)timistie about the realization ofa new house. Finclosed you will find a pledge card to become a part ofour long awaited dream. 1 hope you will join the undergraduates in Building for the Future!
