Iota Nu Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, the fraternity's 184th undergraduate chapter, was installed at Northeast Missouri State University in Kirksville, Missouri on December 9, 1978. The new chapter is the fifth in the state of Missouri joining the Alpha Beta Chapter at the Univerisity of Missouri-Columbia, Alpha Chi Chapter at • Washington University, Beta Sigma Chapter at St. Louis University and Eta Nu Chapter at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Kirksville, with a population of approximately 16,000 is located in Northeast Missouri. It is primarily an agricultural community, although several light industries are located within the city. In addition to being the home of Northeast Missouri State University, it is also the location of Kirks­ ville College of Osteopathic Medicine which is the first institution of its kind in the world. Initiation ceremonies for the 43 undergraduates, faculty and honorary members were held in Violette Hall on the NMSU campus. The installation day began with registration, followed by a tour of the campus for the Deltasig national officers and guests who were in attendance.

Winter quarter brought colder weather and a much slower pace for Auburn's students of commerce. Since our chapter has already met our membership quota for the year, no re­ cruitment activities were planned until April. It was a transition period for our leaders as new officers were elected on Janu­ ary 29 and were installed on February 19. Other activities for the quarter ir.cluded two dinner meetings, a social and disco party, and a profe sional tour of a local business. March 16 was graduation day at Auburn University.

The money made from the cleanups enabled our chapter to make improvements on our new house. Our new house is located at 1822 Mulbe~y, Denton, Texas. North Texas State Umversrty made some renovations on the house before renting it to us. Our chapter worked together as a unit to improve it as well. Our pledge class project was to clean the house in prepa­ ration for the move into it. Later our chapter had a house project to paint the exterior of the house.

SIENA A PIZZA BLAST, an active slate of profes­ sional activities, the production of a blotter, and a major recruiting effort were the high­ lights of a busy first semester at Theta Upsilon Chapter. One thousand desk blotters were prepared and distributed throughout the campus as the year began. Our profes­ sional program included several speakers whose topics included "Effective Public Speaking," "Advertising," and "An Introduc­ tion to the Accounting Profession." We took a tour of the local ABC-TV affi liate to observe the production of the evening news as well as to see the advertising offices and other studios. Another major event included the first Pizza Blast. It was held just before Thanksgiving and the Cafeteria was loaded with Siena students gobbling down pizza as fast as the Brothers could make it. We also donated several turkeys to Hospitality House, a home for children in Albany. Last Fall 's pledge period at Siena produced 18 new Brothers. After intensive education, Initiation Weekend finally arrived on November 17 and 18 and it proved to be a n exciting time for all of us here. The active pledge class started having "Donut Runs" in the dorms and the chapter has decided to con­ tinue these as a regular activity. The second semester is now upon us and we are again busy with activities. Our 47 members have shown spirited Brotherhood and are working hard to improve the chapter and our good reputation which has shown improvement this year. Good luck to all our Brothers from Halloween party at Drueding Infirmary given by costumed members of Zeta Pi Chapter Siena's Theta Upsilon Chapter. -JOHN P.

INDIANA NORTHWEST THETA PSI CHAPTER at Indiana Univer­ sity Northwest had a very active Fall emester and is already into an equally de­ manding schedule of Spring activities. The highlight of our late Fall activities was the initiation of a new pledge class at our banquet in November. The "Omicron" pledge class was the largest one in the history of Theta Psi Chapter and the most uccessful of all our pledge classes with respect to its fund raising activities-the proceeds of which go to the Tradewinds, a physical rehabilitation center for children. Within the last several emesters it ha become apparent that inter­ pledge cia s rivalry has been growing with each new class striving to raise record amounts for charitable organizations. In addition to the initiation of 17 new Brother , a new faculty member, State Sena­ tor John Bushemi, and a new honorary mem­ ber, Mr. David Smith, vice president of lnfonics Corporation, were initiated. The banquet it elf was an elegant, emi­ formal dinner-dance attended by 105 people, thus breaking our previous record of 87. The participants enjoyed a prime rib dinner and the musical sounds of a group, "Upper U.S.," which had just completed an engagement in Las Vega . After the banquet, the Brother still had conserved enough energy for a busload of them to cheer for Indiana University at the Indiana/Purdue football game in Lafayette Indiana. ' ~n addition to its social activitie . Theta P t Chapter ha participated in orne com­ munity project . namely, aiding the Ameri­ can Cancer ociety with it non-smoking dnve by dt stnbutmg brochure describing the effect of moking on your health.
