The men of Delta Upsilon worked excep¬ 
tionally hard a couple of years ago to make 
ready for recognition by the national organi¬ 
zation. Finally, in November 1949, their 
dreams came true. In their home on North 
Main street they realized that they had 
reached one goal, but wanting to do bigger 
things, they also found that they had just 
begun. 
Well represented on campus, they had men 
in Omicron Delta Kappa, in Book and Motor, 
and Dale Patterson was secretary of the Inter- 
Fraternity Council. Gamma Theta Upsilon, 
Delta Phi Delta, the Caduceus Club and the 
Comte Club were more of the organizations 
represented by members of Delta Upsilon. 
James Bores was on the track team. The 55 
members of the organization felt somewhat 
satisfied with their organization. 
Leading the group through the first and 
second semesters, respectively, of 1949-50 
were: Ed Merry and Gus Grozdon, presidents; 
James Stull and Dale Patterson, vice presi¬ 
dents; Don Leedy and Robert Alberts, record¬ 
ing secretaries; Kenneth Rust and Don June 
were treasurers. Robert W. Twyman, Harmon 
K. Voskuil and Lyle R. Fletcher were faculty 
advisors to the group.

Annual Spring Picnic 
Phi Alpha Chi 
Displaying a lively interest in the business 
world, members of Phi Alpha Chi, local 
accounting fraternity, were enlightened by 
speakers who talked on such subjects as IBM 
machines. Others from the field of accounting 
and NCR representatives gave the honorary 
members the clear picture of the world of 
business today. 
Organized at Bee Gee before the war, the 
purpose of the organization was to develop 
the highest ideals among those students inter¬ 
ested in accounting and to promote a program 
of free intercourse with people in the account¬ 
ing field. 
Last year there were 60 members in the 
organization who qualified with the entrance 
requirements of a 3.0 in accounting subjects 
and a 2.2 in other studies. 
Officers the past year were: Alan Rosen¬ 
berg, president; Donald Burgess, vice-presi¬ 
dent; Katherine Schaller, secretary; and 
Kenneth Buckenroth, treasurer. William 
Schmeltz, assistant professor of business 
administration, was faculty advisor.
