Rainbow of Delta Tau Delta

SPRING. 1974

Influence of the Past COVER: Beta Chapter concept of the old days is created by a group of Ohio University Delt undergraduates. From left are Ken Kies, Great Falls, Va.; Steve Hacker, Rocky River, chapter president; Stuart Fox, Wilmette, III.; Dave Gundersen, Toledo; Tom Mcdellan, Avon Lake, resident adviser; Steve Jones, Athens: Dennis Hoffman, Tiffin; and Alex Piteo, Orange Village, chapter sergeant-af-arms. For auto buffs, the nearly hidden vehicle is a 1936 Lincoln with a solid cast aluminum body and steel fenders. Several contributors to this issue of the "Rainbow Review" observe that young people of today are returning to styles and interests of the past. It may be Indicative of that spirit that some of the Ohio University Delts, after renting suits from the Theater for cover Department the photo, considered negotiating for perm anent possession of the wide-lapeled "threads" of the Thirties.

The Rainbow The Rainbow Review In planning forthis, the seventh annual edition of "The Rainbow Review," Delta Tau Delta's four student editors decided to introduce a new concept: a review theme. Although they made no attempt to limit subject matter, they suggested that contributors consider current trends toward "relating with the past" in key ing articles and photographs to the question "Is tomorrow the today of Yesterday?" The editors, chosen from chapter nominations ac ross the country, agreed that some concen trated effort would be necessary simply to in terpret the theme. That is exactly what they wanted, and the results show the wisdom of their thinking. Undergraduates responded with a variety of material ranging from inter views with alumni to objective reporting to think pieces to poetry to . . .well, let the reader Editors Davis, Calhoon, Stinson and Colman be the judge. As in past editions of "The Rain bow Review," student editors were responsi ble for planning the format, contacting (and re-contacting and re-re-contacting) Brother Delts for contributions, and following through to the finished product. Biographic sketches of the editors appear on the Division introductory pages.

Spring, 1974 3 An Interview with 4ii

By PETER BALDWIN & GERRY COLMAN Division Stevens Institute of Technology

Dr. Frederick D. Kershner, currently a professor at Columbia University, has a long and distinguished association both with Delta Tau Delta and the college teaching profession.

The son of a college professor, Dr. Kershner was not per mitted to join the Butler University chapter of Delta Tau Delta in his freshman year there. But his unhappiness was so acute that his father relented and allowed him to join a year later. Edited By As an undergraduate at Butler, Dr. Kershner compiled an outstanding record and served a term as president of Beta Zeta Chapter. Dr. Kershner was graduated CUM LAUDE from Butler GERRY COLMAN University In 1937, received his master's degree from the Uni versity of Wisconsin in 1939 and his PhD from Wisconsin in 1950. Stevens Institute of Technology Dr- Kershner's career as a teacher has been a long (25 years) and varied one. He has tajght for 10 years at Ohio University and af Columbia for the remaining 15. During 1951-52 he served as a Fulbright visiting lecturer at the University of Sydney, In Sydney, Australia. For a year he visited the University of Colorado as a special consultant for their fraternity system.

This interview deals with Dr. Kershner's ideas, some based On his book, which is a history of the fraternity idea.

RAINBOW: It's well into the 1970's. That's almost 200 years since the first fraternity appeared. Where are fraternities in relation to when it all started?

DR. KERSHNER: It's an interesting question. My from a impression, rather detailed study nf the sources, is tliat are fraternities beginning to move baclc some- wliat towards the role that they played between 1776 and about 1890. In other words, the fraternities during this earlier era, did not have houses except in the form of lodges which sen.-ed as small meeting places.* Chap Former and current chairman of vice-president protocol � ters were small in size the average about 8 Rho Stevens Institute of being Chapter, Technology, Gerry to 10 men- But ttie feeling of brotherhood and com Colman is a junior maioring in industrial psychology.

It certainly was not the key to the success of university system, the kind of expansion of activities fraternities during the first 100 years. I believe we are which went beyond our means to carry out, was also now returning to what it was that did make them so evident in the fraternity system.

6 The Rainbow is the heart nf the pledge's education. The things a fraternity should do are diose things that cannot be done easih b\ an isolated individual. Therefore what the fraternity does is provide np|3nrUmities that are bevond the reach of the unaided individual. Mutual life support can restore a lot of the optimism about which is badly needed by nur society today.

The data would also have been more accurate. The first graph (graph A) below shovvs the total number of initiations per year of Delta Thela Chapter- It can be seen quite clearly that large fluctuations in enrollments can hap pen, possibly due to exceptional or ganization of the Chapter in that year, or other uncontrollable factors which present themselves irregularly. These fluctuations are to be expect ed since only one chapter's enrnll ment was used. Divisional or nation wide enrollment would be expected to have fewer random fluctuations. In the second graph, however, an attempt tn control for these random lluctuatlons was made by computing the average number of inltlatlnns over a five year period (graph B) and a ten )ear period (graph C). There appears lo be a regular, ten- year periodicity to the interest in fra ternities. The major exception is In the years from 1940 to 1%0. where interest (measured by the number of initiations per year average) re mained relatively constant. Although I have no knowledge of the history of the chapter from 190.') tn 1965, the period from 1969 to 1 973 is relatively familiar. This period was characterized by par- ticulariy high student actlvi'sni nn the campus and a correspondingly low enrollment In fraternities all across University of Toronto.

14 The Rainbow 'Times are changing" Is an over-worked, over used cliche heard again and again. All right, let's grant that times ARE changing. But In what way? What direction are we heading? Hove we marched forward in a machine time or hove we merely stepped into time and reverted back to traditions of yesteryear? In other words, is tomorrow the today of yesteryear? That is the question Northern Division contributors have set out to answer. Delts ranging from 18 to 60 its years have written about that time machine and effects on the world, the fraternity system and them selves. Some feel that the fabulous Fifties are responsible for the troubles of the Sixties. Others merely see us caught in that vicious circle from which there Is no es back to the cape. And still others just relax and reflect Northern days when beer could be bought for a nickle a glass or a favorite Halloween prank was tipping over an occupied outhouse.

Whatever your feelings may be on the nostalgia craie or how it relates to you, sit back, relax, have a beer or scotch and water if you have graduated to that Division point and read what fellow Delts have to soy about tomorrow being the today of yesterday. �DON CALHOON
