DRUG ABUSE AND FR4TERNITY RESPONSIBILITY 2 SHIELD & DJ4MOND September. 1971
EDITORIAL
Stan Love
I happen to have a strong conviction that, prevalent though the use of marijuana and other drugs may be on our campuses, there are a great many fine young men who do not have any need of it. It is absolutely vital that when these individuals arrive on a cam pus there is a fraternity to meet their needs-one which can match their own high standards. I hope our fraternity will be such a group. The permissive fraternity which ignores drug abuse in the house will probably let down the barriers in every other way. Can this type of organization possibly be a strong force for good on the campus? What kind of leadership can come from students who . are psychologically dependent on a narcotic? I personally feel that any chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha which con dones the use of drugs and whose officials are neither able nor in clined to set and maintain the highest standards will be unable to provide the strong leadership needed in these difficult times, and is selling out the national fraternity and its own members. Some have suggested that drug usage is a dead issue and should not be a topic for this publication to consider. It might be in some places where it is accepted or the group has rejected its usage. However, it is difficult to consider it as a dead issue when more than a dozen articles appear in the daily paper each week on drug matters. It has major impact on foreign policy, diplomatic re lations, industrial efficiency, mental health and all of society. It has an obvious impact on the rushing programs of our chapters. I urge continued discussion of the drug issue. If, as a result of our efforts we help one brother it has been worth it. Stanley F.

Love Today the use of marijuana has reached epidemic proportions in every small town, big city, and college campus in the country. What is the role of the fra ternity in all this-should each chapter just turn its back on the drug issue or is there some positive action it can take? First, let's talk about narcotics a little. The most widely used one is mari juana, or " pot." It is normally smoked, and has a generally uninhlbiting effect which ranges from euphoria to hallucinations. It can have unpredictable ef fects, however, and distort certain senses. Habitual smokers develop a phycho- logical dependence on marijuana-they count on the " lift" it .------. gives them-and though there is controversy about how habit- 11Drug usage is an individual choice, forming pot is, the fact remains that people who enjoy smok but one which may be the determin ing it intend to continue doing so. The physical harm it causes ing factor in ·the downfall of a chap has not been fully established, but the fact that it is used as a ter." physchological crutch should be warning enough. What about going from pot to stronger, more dangerous drugs? Well, progression does not necessarily follow. Still, a person who enjoys smoking pot might easily be tempted to try stronger drugs, especially if he is with people who use them. Heroin is strongly addictive, creat ing a physical dependence which is nearly impossible to break. LSD can resull in a " bad trip," which causes physical injury to the user and others, and may create permanent mental disorders. The above are just a few examples of what may lay in wait. CHALLENGE FOR FRATERNITY In spite of all the arguments in favor of drug-taking ("mind expanding/' "an increased sense of reality," " you just love everybody"), we need only to look at the countless drug control centers set up around the country and see some of the desperately sick young people who are trying to break the "habit," to convince us that the use of drugs is a terribly serious matter-one on which our fraternity must take a stand! What shall it be? Should we get behind stronger legislation? Help set up drug clinics in our own community? Where should our main thrust be? Let's go back first to the reasons behind the whole Greek system. Fratern ities originally came into being to promote brotherhood and leadership both academic and social. Ideally, fraternity men were the ones to provide strong leadership at their school, which came from their having a strong sense of purpose and a deep personal commitment-strengths which had been deepened by their fraternity. But during the last decade there have been great changes on our nation's 11 campuses. The focus of interest of college students tify its continued existence and maintain a significant has shifted, and one of the most noticeable effects leadership role on campus, they must hold fast to has been a drop in interest in fraternities. The first to high ideals, regardless of financial or social pressures. go were the ones which had degenerated into drink ing societies and purely social clubs-they were ex pendable. At the other extreme are fraternities with SOME ALTERNATIVES The Wall Street journal on May 26, 1971 , reported "Strong chapter leadership is essential that some college students find a new kick in re to the maintenance of fraternity stand placing drugs with beer.

But any single chapter of a fraternity can help to solve the issues and dilemmas at the local grass roots, where American life is lived.

Eighteen years later he became direc tor of his own architectural company opening his career up to the likeness of the Michelangelo's of days past. His commissions have included the newly dedicated National Presbyterian Church in Wash ington, D. C., the interior design of the famous Air Force Chapel in Colorado Springs and the in terior of the Church Center at the United Nations building in New York. A past president of the Guild for Religious Archi The National Presbyterian Church and Center was constructed tecture and of the Commission on Architecture for during the late 1960's at a cost of $8.5 million and dedicated in 1970 in Washington, D. C. Religious denominations in this contemporary society are taking many forms, a definite threat to the insititutional church of traditional America. In even greater scrutinous evaluation are the physical structures or environments in which these new faiths are meeting. It's the old style versus the new; con formity versus change; ideals versus ideas. However, Brother Harold Wagoner's philosophy in building churches is a mixture of a little of both. The Beta Sigma Chapter alumnus finds it a challenge, and a rewarding experience, to blend the ideals of tradition with the ideas of the young. Brother Wag oner constructs more than just churches-he builds into the structure a feeling of transceindentalism, emotion, awe. For 25 years Harold E.

Moeller Alpha Phi Alumnus Counselor Greek life is in a constant state of change. Life styles of people are changing and students are finding themselves in the fore-front of this change. Alumni, on the other hand find themselves out in the cold when trying to analyze the changes taking place in their fraternities and sororities. A study of this change must of necessity be an analysis of America itself and the changes taking place in the attitudes of people. To best discover what has happened in the Greek system over the past few years and to get a preview of what may be ahead, we must get the view as the Iowa State " Greek" sees his system. To get an overall picture, seven men and women were interviewed about their thoughts re garding the Greek system at Iowa State University. The following paragraphs are a summary of their comments. STEREOTYPE The conservative, status oriented, " Ivy League" gentleman whose only pur pose during his four years of college life is booze, broads, and brotherhood is Ga ry A. Moell er the skeleton the contemporary " Greek" has been trying to bury for the past decade. Today's Greek student is a person who doesn't want to be stereo typed or lumped into a conglomeration. He must be an individual, his own person, himself! In spite of this drive for individuality, there is still a sameness about the college Greek. GOALS Greeks are people looking for a place of association. They value that in teraction between people and the experiences derived from living with peo ple. They feel friendships are the most important things they can have and are certainly worth going after. The bandstand approach of Greek life {Veishea floats, Homecoming displays, etc.) has given way to the personally rewarding, but less public expression of Greek ideals so often overlooked by our critics. {Christmas parties for retarded children, staffing boy's clubs, charity cam paigns.) PLEDGE TRAINING Much of the personal approach has been transformed into a new style of pledge training. The traditional pledge programs of push-ups and hazing have been abandoned in favor of a constructive pledge training. Discussion groups are taking the place of the line-up. Self-analysis and group-analysis take the place of shoe polishing and all-night house cleanups. Students are demanding to know the reason for things and thusly find themselves questioning tradition al values. Pledge training, itself, is being phased out by a 4-year program of membership education. Many Greeks feel their learning experience is a con tinuous process and by extending their education about Greek life, the ex panding problem of senior attrition may be eliminated. Many upper-classmen feel the Greek system isn 't giving them all they want and need in their life. The emphasis has been on the freshmen and once he or she is activated the edu cation process stops. By continuing the training and improving the programs, the system can be usefu I to everyone. 28 SHIELD & D14MOND september. 1971 FUTURE " There w ill always be a Greek system" has been other areas which cause immediate negative re the statement of some. Unfortunately, not many of sponse from the public. Secondly, we must display the Greeks today agree with the above statement. the fact that Greeks aren't the same as they were a The feeling is that if the system doesn't change even few decades ago. They have different attitudes and more drastically than it has now, it will fall in 10-15 motivations, just as today's society is different than years. It must change to keep up with the changing years ago. Finally we must inform the general public attitudes. If it continues to resist the current attitudes, of the realities of Greek life.

Service Projects PROJECT "PUSH" GETS COMPETITION It didn't take long this spring for the fraternity competitive spirit to take hold of a great idea in com munity fund raising. Shortly after Gamma Upsilon Chapter at Tulsa and Gamma Chi Chapter at Oklahoma State initi ated a marathon wheelchair push as a newsworthy state project to raise money for the Muscular Dys trophy Association, the men of Epsilon Tau Chapter at Eastern New Mexico saw a challenge. After the initial " push" of 150 miles from Oklahoma City to Tulsa through Stillwater, which raised over the $1 ,000 goal, the ENM Brothers organized a similar project. They set out a 200-mile course and a $3,000 goal for the Cancer Society.

However, it does stand out in an area not charteristic to many other fraternities-WORK! Many a disgruntled alumnus, confused SMC or night salesman has rung the tele' chimes at the Memorial Headquarters, hours after normal quitting time. And, often to his surprise, it was quickly asnwered by a late-working staffer. Another glaring trait of the IIKA professional staff members, which may have something to do with their eagerness, is thP.ir average age-24. Executive Di rector Patrick W. Halloran, Ill, 28 has been behind the big oak desk in his office for two years. He was !ured away from the University of Miami at which he served as assistant dean of men. "Dynamic, contemporary and consciencious," are the words Brother Hal loran uses to describe the Headquarters men. "Before we'll hire a man he must meet a certain level of ability and potential," says Halloran. "That is why we had only one traveling man last year and that is why we are so confident about our tremendous core of Chapter Consultants this year. The number of job appli cants for positions on the Headquarters staff have tripled in the last two years. We have been fortunate to select young men that any company or corpora tion would hire in a minute," he adds.

As presid ing officer of the Senate, he is third in line to the President, which in these days and times is a sensi tive spot to be in. If the seniority reformers do not get to him, he could easily move up to No. 1. SENATOR SPARKMAN The Democratic senior senator from Alabama, John J. Sparkman, has for the past few years, re ceived the first real serious opposition from other office seekers in the state. He is-like Senator Ellend er-the target for the seniority reformers. Senator Sparkman, the first President of Gamma Alpha Chapter (Alabama), has served his state and the nation with great distinction and was at one time a party nominee for the Vice Presidency. Al though he still always keeps the best interest of his state in mind, he is highly respected as a statesman who is equally interested in the nation as a whole, and it is undoubtedly through his efforts in that di rection that he may be losing some support in Ala bama. Long an active worker in the area of finance and housing, he is respected for his activities in banking. Senator Ellender More currently he has spent a lot of time in new housing construction. In late March, he spoke to a Seniority is devilish to some-delectable to others. It is currently a subject of interest to all who hold office in the House or Senate of the United States. There are at least three members of Pi Kappa Alpha who obviously support the seniority system whole heartedly, and the three are all from Southern States. No doubt the most avid supporter must be Sen ator Allen Ellender, Democrat from Louisiana, who has served longer than any other-thirty-four years and he plans to run for re-election. This chairman of the Appropriations Committee and presiding officer of the Senate is almost as fa mous for his culinary abilities as he is for his tre mendous contributions to government. Ellender has even been recognized by a presidential citation for his work in the kitchen. He learned how to cook from his mother as he was growing up as a poor boy from the Hard Scrabble plantation down in bayou country. He is best known for his gumbo and for his pralines, which are sold by the Salvation Army for SO and 75 cents each. A widower for 21 years, Ellender believes in phy sical fitness. As much as he likes to cook, he would miss a meal before he would his regular exercise, which consists primarily of working with weights and swimming.

He feels that the materials and EXECUTIVE manpower are available for a new record in 1971. Brother Sparkman, a Distinguished Achievement Award recipient, has always responded to his fra ternity's requests for help. He has spoken at national leadership schools, Founder's Day banquets and many other occasions. He is devoted both to his work and to his fraternity.

The Task Force will include high level representation from Federal departments and agencies that operate facilities using conces sion-type businesses such as the National Aeronau tics & Space Administration, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the Department of Interior and Defense. A December 1970 tour took Rocco to Southwest America to open four OMBE affiliate operations. During the trip he detoured to visit the Mescalero Indian Reservation in New Mexico where he re ceived a warm reception and inspected the local ski resort areas developed by tribal business efforts. In Los Angeles the Under Secretary visited the South Central Improvement Action Center (IM PACT) located in the Watts area.

Purdue, B WHY I'M PROUD TO BE A PIKE by Cary A. Sallquist President I am frequently asked why I devote so much time to the fraternity. This ques tion usually comes from well meaning people who know me in a business ca pacity but who do not understand what a fraternity really is. Since it's an intelligent question I think it deserves an answer, and in the pro cess of answering, possibly I can share some philosophies with you relative to what Pi Kappa Alpha really is. The principles and ideals of Pi Kappa Alpha can, and should be, the founda tion for a full and rewarding life. There are many periods of uncertainty in one's life when he wants to be able to draw on inspiration to keep hi'm going. A thorough knowledge of the principles and ideals of Pi Kappa Alpha serves as a constant source of inspiration. A viable fraternity is the only organization that I know links the heritage of the past with the excitement of the future. Inherent in your membership in Pi Kappa Alpha is an obligation to be average-you then need an environment Gary A. Sallquist in which you can maximize your growth and personal development. Pi Kappa Fraternit y President Alpha gives you that. Being a fraternity man requires putting others first. This is something that does not come naturally to many of us and requires a degree of emotional maturity which most men only develop when they are constantly placed in a situation where they must develop that trait. Pi Kappa Alpha requires discipline, the discipline to do those things you should do but would rather not do. It requires dedication-to a cause that is more important to you than you are to yourself. Great men find themselves when they can lose themselves in the cause. Whether you elect to become a businessman, doctor, lawyer, humanitarian-you must be capable of dedicat ing yourself to a cause . Humility is another important ingredient in our fraternity. To thoroughly enjoy the success of your brothers-to fight to be a winner, a gracious winner, and to enjoy winning because you know it represents paying the price. Brotherhood is that word which is used to generally describe fraternities. In the fifteen years I have been a member of Pi Kappa Alpha, I have found that the deep personal friendship, that spans states, countries and years, develops when men share meaningful experiences as they grow and mature. The PEACE movement which has swept our country's campuses in the last several years says in effect " Love your brother." That, of course, is what the fraternity system is all about. It's important to point out, . however, that no decal, no crest, no peace symbol on a car will draw men together beyond a casual initial relationship. True friendship develops when it is earned on the part of the men involved. Pi Kappa Alpha is work, it is recognizing there are those distasteful things which have to be done to keep a fraternity chapter running-and they run the gamut from an intense discussion and chapter meeting relative to a brother's problems-to something as simple as cleaning your room. It is true of course, that some men do not measure up to the standards of our fraternity, some men never get the message, and some men are " me" oriented. Some men are just plain unwilling to pay the price, and that is, of course, part of life too. Pi Kappa Alpha is a unique personal experience. It gives you access to an international brotherhood of men whom you would not know-with whom you could not share ideals or friendships in any other way. Pi Kappa Alpha should be the catalyst to an exciting and productive life. Make it happen!
