  • “Selective Memories” from 800 Chautauqua - Fall 1979-Spring 1985
    “Selective Memories” from 800 Chautauqua - Fall 1979-Spring 1985 (... from Long-Haired Country Boy to Preppy, and Back Again, ...or, Sort Of) A Collaborative Effort among: Donald M. Lehman ’83, Rob F. M. Robertson ’84, and Many Other Good Brothers* *A special thanks to Wade L. McClure ’82 (current Dallas County Candidate for Garbage Inspector), for reminding us we all have “selective memories” of our otherwise memorable years at 800 Chautauqua, Norman, Oklahoma. The authors also express thanks to many other “veterans” of the Beta House in the early 1980’s who took their time to contribute their own selective memories - some of which, for various legal reasons, cannot go into print. _______________________________________ Preface: A Studious and Historical Perspective of the Early 1980’s at 800 Chautauqua: The proof is in the pictures. Or, more specifically, the proof is in the Chapter’s composites and Party-Pics. In retrospect, the period from Fall 1979 to Spring 1985 saw major changes in the picture of “Joe Beta” hanging over the mantle in the Dining Room at 800 Chautauqua, as well as the world in which Joe Beta enjoyed his college experience and planned for the future. In the late 1970’s “Joe Beta” had shoulder length hair and wore a jean jacket or a goose- down vest as a fashion statement. By the dawn of the 1980’s, except at “Barn Dance Time” and during ski trips, Joe was a relatively clean-cut guy appearing in our Chapter composite with a Polo or Gittman Brothers button-down shirt, donning a thin, neatly dimpled tie with regimental stripes, and he was probably wearing topsiders without socks.

    The University of Tulsa Class of 1964 Memory Book The University of Tulsa Alma Mater Hail to thee Alma Mater, Gold and blue, Praise from thy sons and daughters, Old and new. Pride in our hearts, Our voices let us raise, Filled with devotion We will sing thy praise. Alma Mater, now we honor, Loyal, always true, We will lift our voice in chorus. Hail to Tulsa U! 1 9 6 4 Greetings From the President Dear Friends, This Homecoming we salute the members of the Class of 1964, who graduated in one of the iconic years of recent American history. From Beatlemania to the Ford Mustang to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, your year brought sweeping changes to American culture and society. Of course, there were plenty of worries and woes, too – including tensions with the Soviets, escalating war in Vietnam, and ugly violence in the South. Those days delivered both turmoil and triumph in ample measure. As it was then, it remains our mission here at The University of Tulsa to prepare young men and women to meet the challenges and opportunities of their time. That process includes a broad grounding in the humanities and liberal arts, thorough instruction in a student’s chosen major, an emphasis on service to others, and the daily inspiration of being part of a distinguished university family. As an alumnus or alumna, you remain an important member of that family. Your example illustrates how a TU education helps to shape a lifetime of success, both in one’s career and in one’s community.
