This semester, however, the Graduate Rela tions Committee is starting afresh to increase graduate involvement here at Upsilon Alpha. Every Tuesday night is Guest Speaker night. With this, we invite graduates in the Tucson area to join us for dinner and become acquainted with the undergrad uate brothers. We are also planning one or two graduate dinners this semester for our graduate chapter here in Tucson. We know how formal and stuffy these types of functions can sometimes be, so on November 22, before the ASU game, grads were invited over for beer and food. This sort of atmosphere provided a casual, relaxed setting for us to get to know some of the grads. We are also enlisting the services of a publishing company to compile an upto-date directory of all living brothers of Upsilon Alpha. We would appreciate your financial support in this venture; you will receive more information later. Not for College Days alone! PERGE! —Gregory M. Cole Graduate Relations Chairman Do you recognize anybody in this picture? 1 t. Judging by the presence of John Marietti("61)(5th from right, bottom row), we believe the photo was probably taken in 1956 when the house won the Cheney Cup.(John Marietti's son. Steve, is the current house Historian and bears a striking resemblance.) Any corrections or response from alumni would be appreciated!
