The chapter of Delta Sigma Pi which existed on this campus for approximately fifteen years was a dynamic organization and sponsored activities which were of benefit to the University as a whole as well as to the individual members of the organi zation. Delta Sigma Pi and Beta Alpha Nu have had strong and consistent support from faculty in the College of Business Administration and I would expect this kind of support to continue into the future. The officers of Beta Alpha Nu appear to be capable and enthusiastic leaders for the group and intent upon reestablishing Delta Sigma Pi. I am willing to support their efforts in any .way possible, and I recommend that their petition receive favorable action. Sincerely yours. Roberta Barnes Dean of Students RB/h COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Office of the De�n (702) 784-4912 September 29, 1976 Mr. Ben Wolfenberger Executive Director �Delta Sigma Pi 330 South Campus Avenue Oxford, Ohio 45056 Dear Mr. Wolfenberger: Ronald McDowell, President, of Beta Alpha Nu a local business professional fraternity at the University of Nevada, Reno, has requested a statement in connection with the petition of rechartering the Delta Pi Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, in December 1975. The College of Business Administration is extremely grateful to this group of men and women a outstanding young for organizing themselves into fraternity , one of the objectives of which is to assist in the cause of better preparation for carer'-rs in the business and administrative field. The group has demonstrated its seriousness of purpose by attempting to do all within its power to encourage good scholarship and cooperation with faculty and administration, and in establishing a tangible and beneficial contact with the professional business world. They have adhered to the established policies of Delta Sigma Pi as closely as possible, with the intention of petitioning for rechartering as soon as they would be able to assume effectively all of the responsibilities and obligations of full membership in the national organization . In my estimation, the local group has done an outstanding job and is fully qualified. I hea ' ily endorse and recommend Beta Alpha Nu as an organization which will carry on the ideals and traditions of Delta Sigma Pi. In view of the harrowing experiences which were inescapable to our Delta Sigma Pi Chapter which had functioned well for 15 years, the petition should be considered a request for rechartering. I believe the nev group will successfully carry on the tradition. Sincerely, 'ROBERT C. WEEMS, JR.

Belmont, ^"^^'^.^bkrs, �jslevada!> The frontier days, when bold, rugged prospectors, min ers, cattlemen, and adventurers explored and conquered our broad vallc; ; and tall mountains, were exciting days in Nevada. Rich gold and silver mines, rumbling mills and "rip-roaring" mining camps dotted the Nevada hills; while leather-faced cowboys herded cattle in our fertile valleys. Cowboys still "round up the dogies" on huge Nevada ranches; and our mines now produce much copper, iron, and building minerals, as well as the gold and silver of a century ago. But there have been big changes, too. Indus tries are moving into our "wide open spaces." And space- age missiles, engines, and fuels arc being developed and tested in our picturesque desert valleys. Nevada also offers every kind of outdoor sport for the whole family. We hope you will come and see us some day. DESERT FLOWERS�This unusual double blossom was found in a Nevada Joshua forest, some of which are the largest in the world. Desert flowers and blooming cactus abound in Nevada.
