COVER: The Propylaea, Athens, erected underthe Greek ruler Pericles by the architectMnesicles (437-432 B.C.). It forms the imposingentrance to the Acropolis, approached by asteep accent of stairs from the city plain below.The front and rear Hexastyle Doric Porticoes areon different levels, and give access to a coveredhall with, a wide central passage flanked byionic columns.

The original design of the Propylaea intendedthat the entire structure be symetrical about thecentral passage. The design however was nevercompleted, due either to encroachment onsacred precincts of the adjacent temple of NikeApeteros, or to the interruption induced by thePeloponnesian War. Though the original designwas never realized, the Propolaea is an importantpart of the world-famous group of Acropolisbuildings.

The National Convention of Alpha Rho Chi has been set for January 22-25, 1981in Houston, Texas. Host Chapter Cleisthenes has set a preliminary Agenda begin­ning with delegate arrivals on Thursday, January 22, 1981. A preliminary outline ofthe events to occur is as follows:

CHAPTER AND ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NEWS

ANDRONICUS

HAPPENINGS:Greetings from the Active Chapter!

After a short but restful summer, webegan the 1979-80 school year with in­sightful attitudes and renewed spirit.

We united three weeks prior to thebeginning of school to prepare our­selves for Rush. First on the agendawas a good physical cleaning of theHouse. These are the high-lights of ourRush Program: a tour of the architec­tural office of Daniel L. Dworsky, toursof work done by architect R. M.Schindler here in Southern California,a visit to Frank Lloyd Wright's Holly­hock House, a social gathering with agood friend and gracious hostess ­Elaine Jones, a lecture on Solar En­ergy, and our annual Moonlight Cele­bration (better remembered as theChampagne Party). The Active Chap­ter would again like to thank theAlumni Association for their assistancein sponsoring the Gamble House RushEvent. This event proved to be mostsignificant to our Rush Program.

The primary goal of our Rush Pro­gram was to select a pledge class witha spirit and a desire to be a part of us.We wanted a pledge class that was areflection of our new energy. Wethink we found the qualifications wewere searching for in these four per­sons: Josh Lober, Russ Schroeder,Rick Johnson, and Debbie Lim. We areeager to learn more of them as they ofus. They have titled their pledge class1116 Inches On Center" - some studs.

The present Active Members aremaking great efforts to make not onlyfraternal improvements but also phys­ical improvements at the fraternityhouse. John Mutlow, an instructor atthe U.S.C. School of Architecture,has volunteered his time and service toassist the Active Members in studyingalternative ideas for internal and exter­nal improvements to the fraternityhouse. Of course, all plans and ideas

W.A.W.A.A.W.E.W.C.W.S.

Active Chapter

David WallaceMike StallingsAlan MorishigeMarc FuttermanSteve Boyd

will be subject to the Alumni Associ­ation approval. The Active Chapter isalso sponsoring a Plant Day Gatheringfor the Alumni Association and ParentsClub. The purpose of the day will be toprovide house plants for the fraternity.The goal behind all of this is to get thefraternity house in good physical con­dition for Fall Rush. The Alumni As­sociation will be assisting the ActiveChapter in the preparation of an An­dronicus Chapter of Alpha Rho ChiFraternity Introduction Manual also forthis Fall Rush. (As for the introductionmanual by the National Chapter ... ?).The last time asked, there were fourpersons participating in Spring Pledging:Josh Lober, Arnold Mammarella,Davis Cho, and Silvino Petulot. MikeStallings is the pledge trainer this se­mester and Norm Torello is AlumniPledge Advisor. If you have not heard,the A. Quincy Jones Memorial FundDinner sponsored by the Active Chap­ter last December 8th was a success.The Active Chapter of Alpha Rho Chiwas able to make a donation of nearly$5,000 to the A. Quincy Jones Me­morial Scholarship Fund at the U.S.C.School of Architecture. (Job welldone). The members of the ActiveChapter wish more could have at­tended the White Rose Celebration inNewport last March 15th. Never­theless, the evening was fun for allwho attended.

HAPPENINGS:September 6th marked opening

night for a new season of the An­dronicus Alumni Association.

First act required the AlumniAssociation to examine the role it mustplay in collecting rent money from Ac­tive Members. The house has had ahistory of Active Members either

-3-

paying their house bills late or not atall. This problem reached an all timehigh this summer when over $4,000was owed from late house bills. TheActive Chapter called upon the AlumniAssociation for assistance with thispersistent problem. This prompted theAlumni Association to considerassuming the role as rentor; requiringfirst and last month rents as well as asecurity deposit at the beginning ofeach year. The Alumni Association willalso have the authority to ask any ac­tive member of boarder to relocate iftheir house bill is not paid. NormTorello has taken the responsibility ofinvestigating all legal aspects of thisissue. We also anticipate thecooperation and support of the ActiveChapter.

Our desire to have more socialevents this year got off to a great start.We helped the Active Chapter stagethe annual rush event at the GambleHouse. The day was a success withbeautiful weather and over 50 personsin attendance. Members of the AlumniBoard of Directors were assigned thetask of contacting other Alumni to ad­vice them of the event and of bringingfood. Thanks to all those fellow Frater­nity Brothers that responded with.either food, or their service, or theirpresence, or all of the above. Anothersuccessful social event was the picnicon the U.S.C. Campus for the Home­coming Football Game with Stanford(the team better known as the Cardi­nals, or the Indians, or more recently,the Trees and the game better knownas the Hate Bowl). The pre-gameluncheon was enjoyed by 25 fellowAlumni Brothers. And the idea of anannual Homecoming Gathering isn't abad one.

A WORTHY GRAND VISITATION

Ronald Grogan, our Worthy GrandScribe, made a visit to the West Coastin January. It was a rare treat. You see,as for the Andronicus Chapter of AlphaRho, we have the United States thenthere is the state of California. Effortswill be made to change that. Ronald'svisit was one stop on a tour of all thechapters as well as the new coloniesaround the country. The AlumniAssociation met with Ronald for anhour and an half and future plans andevents by the National Chapter werediscussed.

Programs. Because the PledgingProgram is the IIkeystone" to the veryideas of fraternalism, it will demandmost of our attention. It is in pledgingone should learn the meaning of loveand respect for oneself, others, andthe group at large. The one elementthat binds all members of Alpha RhoChi Fraternity is the experience ofpledging and the ritual. And the ideasof brotherhood is the element thatunites al/ fraternities. All endeavorsshould be made not to forget the wordof our Hymn. (You know. The songthat begins with the lyric, IIAlpha RhoChi to thee," etc.).

HAPPENINGS: Jan.-Dec. 1979Arch; Reporter: Jack Geiger

Anthemios started 1979 knee deep insnow, making the trek to the designstudios even tougher. Only a spur ofthe moment theme party was able tosnap us out of our cabin fever. Forspring break many of us headed hometo the snow of Chicago while othersdrove south to tour Atlanta.

April was packed tight with eventsstarting with an exchange with ZTAsorority. Our spring formal was held atthe IITop of the Inn" towering a full 21stories above Champaign. A week laterwe welcomed alumni back for our 65thannual Founder's Day. The month wasfilled out with a university and chaptertradition, Mom's Day, and the InterFraternity Council's annual spring for­mal rush.

As the semester closed we squeezedone of our rowdiest P. R. events ever

between final projects and exams. OurIIArchi AII-Nighter", all campus party,packed the house and yard with thosewilling to lido it with an architect". Thebeer flowed for all and the music ofbrother Mark Paschke's Dirt Fury bandkept the neighbors awake well into themorning.

Most of us made a trek back toChampaign in mid July for the U of I'sannual Summer Reunion, a greeksponsored, weekend-long, street par­ty. We managed several other rendez­vous during the summer. We met inWest Lafayette, IN for brother IIBub­bles" Ray's wedding and drove on toChampaign to top off the weekend.The summer parties continued withW.A. Ken Pojman's JlWisconsinWeekend Wipeout" at his cottage.

All partying was done in cooperationwith the rush chairman who aug­mented our standard postal recruit­ment effort with personal invitations toprospective pledges to join us in oursummer activities.

Our fall semester started with house­work. The usual cleaning was accom­panied by painting and light construc­tion as our renovation effort contin­ued. Few walls have been left un­touched in the past few years in ourdrive to get the house in good shape.

Our third annual Freshman/FacultyReception at the chapter house was assuccessful as the first two in intro­ducing the architecture freshmen andfaculty to each other and, of course,to us. This cooperation between thefaculty and APX has been increasing inpast years and is of great help to ourprofessional program.

Alumni cooperation is also on therise as shown by a large turnout athomecoming. The APX alumni footballblock was over 100 seats. Specialthanks go to James Russell (/29), BobGanschinietz (/30), and Savo Stoshitch(/35) for their visits during the semes­ter.

We got a visit from Demetrios mem­bers for the O.S.U.-lIlinois footballgame and showed them how to party.They showed us how to play football.A definite future plan is to visit themand get our bust back. Of course, thereis an open invitation for all to visit,just don't take too much.

GIVING A HELPING HAND ...

On the 1st and 2nd of February, theAlumni Association spent time withthe Active Chapter discussing suchissues as rush, pledging and IIHeipWeek". The welfare and existence ofthe frat'ernity chapter is very im­portant to the Alumni Association. Thepast five years has seen a decline inmembership and the ideas of frater­nalism at the fraternity house. Thepurpose of the two-day session was toexamine the problems and suggest ac­tion that could be taken to remedy thesituation.

The Alumni met with the ActiveMembers at the fraternity house thatFriday evening for dinner and chit­chat. It was the IIgetting to know you"sort of session. After breakfast Satur­day morning, which was prepared byActive President David Wallace, theremainder of the second day was spentin discussion. Some of the problemsdiscovered were: 1) a lack of leader­ship among older active members; 2)no clear understanding of the pledgingprogram and its purpose; 3) a conflictwith the demands of school and theresponsibilities to the chapter; 4) afeeling of anti-Alpha Rho Chi amongmany of the faculty members at theSchool of Architecture. The mostserious of all problems proved to bekeeping Active Members interested inthe fraternity. The reason most givento this problem was the constant con­flicts with doing school work and ful­filling house duties. Of course therewas no simple solution to any of theseproblems but various alternatives werediscussed.

The two-day affair was a rewardingexperience for all. Wonderful ex­periences through pledging andpleasant memories when living at thefraternity house were exchangedamong the Alumni.

The Alumni Association offered theirassistance in the Rush and Pledging

Another topic discussed was howthe fraternity could improve its imageas a merit to all that become a mem­ber. One suggestion was for the Alum­ni Association to give a display /presentation of models and drawingsat the School of Architecture ofprojects done by Alumni and HonoraryFaculty Members. Another idea was topost a plaque of the names of all therecipients of the Alpha Rho Chi Me~alof that particular school. (And for allthose who do not know, the AlphaRho Chi Medal is still awarded).

The winter months in Minnesota thispast season were not only dry in termsof the weather, but were also dryas faras alumni social functions were con­cerned. The lack of activity, however,has generated enthusiasm among themembers of the current administrationto bring new life to the brotherhood.(The recent National Convention heldin Houston was also a definite cata­lyst.) Since the convention, theMnesicles Alumni Association has hadseveral meetings to take on endeavorsto promote more interaction with theactive chapter, organize and re-unitealumni members from as far back aspossible, and seek legal council con­cerning the structure of the Associa­tion. A fund drive has been kicked offfor a new roof on the Chapter House,as well as the immediate (hostchallenging) task of billing for dues andcommitments. With the strong leader­ship of President Craig Degendorfer,Mnesicles will become a dynamicbody.

HOUSTON CONFERENCE PRESENTSFINANCIAL AND OP'ERATIONAL

BASE FOR GROWTH

On March 29th and 30th of this year Iattended an Alpha Rho Chi mini­convention in Houston, Texas. Themeeting was called by our new GrandCouncil to inform all of the alumniassociations of the most recent de­velopments concerning the NationalAPX that had been brought about bythe new Grand Council. As it turnedout, this was a very well organized andvery informative meeting which yieldeda very ppsitive feeling about the newNational organization on the part ofmost of the alumni members who at­tended the meeting. Much of the workthat had been accomplished to datehad been initiated by our new WorthyGrand Scribe, Ronnie Grogan, and ournew Worthy Grand Estimator, CharlieWeaver, both elected at the January1979 National Convention. Ronnie andCharlie wasted no time in seeking out areplacement for WGA Ed Rhodes, whorecently resigned. They were very for­tunate to find Charles Burchard avail­able and willing to fill in for. BrotherRhodes until the next national con­vention. Charles Burchard hascredentials that are too many to list inthis article, but a few of his noted ac­complishments are: B.A. from MIT, M.Arch. from Harvard, 16 yearsprofessional practice, 7 years teachingat Harvard, 16 years as Dean at VPIand has held key positions in manyprofessional organizations. Dean Bur­chard's principle responsibility will bein the area of professional develop­ment of Alpha Rho Chi.

The meeting covered many subjectssuch as: Organizational structure andareas of responsibility for Grand Coun­cil members, report status for activechapters, program objectives/ organi­zation and priorities, projected incomeand operational budget for 1980 thru1985, proposal for a new fee schedulecolonization procedure polic~statement, and the proposed conven­tion agenda presented by the hostingchapter, Xenocles. The meeting alsocovered two very important subjectsconcerning our stock portfolio and ourlegal status. A representative fromDean Witter Reynolds Inc. made thetrip to Texas to explain to us thechanges that had been made to the

stock portfolio at the request of ournew Grand Council. Without going in­to the details of the entire presen­tation, we were told that the new re­turn on our portfolio was now 11.8%compared to the return from our oldportfolio of 5. 1% . This increasedreturn was brought about withoutsacrificing the quality of the stocks ­we were told.

Our legal overview was presented byJim Smith of Gebhardt and Smith inBaltimore, Maryland. Mr. Smith's legaloverview pointed to a need to gainmore of our financial support from ourmembership rather than our stockportfolio, If we don't, we were told wecould eventually lose our current C-7tax status in the State of Illinois. If, onthe other hand, we could increase ourmembership support substantially (as apercentage of total income) we couldthen be eligible for a more desirable C­3 status, which would allow membersto deduct dues and donations to AlphaRho Chi from their personal incometaxes. Mr. Smith's overview includedmany other minor problems that needattention, but he felt they could beresolved without any major problems.He concluded his remarks with a briefwarning about hazing, and he citedsome examples of recent cases inwhich fraternities and sororities andtheir members were found guilty ofhazing and suffered severe financialloses.

It is interesting to note that most ofthe information that had been given tous seemed to point out the need to findsome method of making APX moreimportant than it is today. In otherwords, make Alpha Rho Chi valuableto members long after they havegraduted into the architecturalprofession.

Make APX valuable enough thatlong term alumni members would bemore willing to pay national dues andmake donations to the fraternity. Thisis why it was particularly effective,whether it was planned or not, to haveDean Burcharcd give his proposal forprofessional development at this pointin the meeting.

-8-

Dean Burc.hard's proposals, ofcourse, are too lengthy to publish intheir entirety, but I will attempt to goover some of the highlights. He hassuggested interaction with otherprofessional organizations (i.e. AlA,NAAB, ASC/ ACI etc.). Articles andpapers would be written and publishedin the ARCHI. These writings would bedeveloped from theme workshops setup and developed during our nationalconventions. Guests such as I. M. Peior Buckminster Fuller might be just acouple of the noted professionals whohave been suggested at theme pre­senters. In other words, our nationalconventions would not be limited tobusiness meetings where our fraternitygathers every two years to air itsgripes, but instead becomes a time toproduce professional writings whichdevelope from a day or two ofseminars and thought provokingprojects that get us more directly in­volved with the profession and its in­stitutions. Some of these projectsmight require further development,which could be the responsibility of anindividual chapter and its school. Thus,helping the individual chapter becomemore involved with the school and itsfaculty. The funding bases for theseprojects are outlined in detail in DeanBurchard's proposal, as well as manyother ways to become more pro­fessionally involved. In part, Dean Bur­chard's proposal seemed to answer thequestion of how are we going to makethe fraternity valuable to its membersand thus create the appropriate fun­ding base to upgrade the fraternity.

The proposal made by Dean Bur­chard was not a new direction forAPX, but rather a written proposal ofhow to get APX back on the path thatits founding fathers had originally in­tended it to have - a rebirth. In con­clusion, I was very impressed by ourGrand Council and the work that theyhave accomplished. I felt that themeeting was a great success. I feel thatthis new Grand Council team and thechanges they are already making willmake the fraternity more professionaland thus more valuable to all of itsmembers. So when you hear from theNational, please do your part to helpthem in any way you can.

PIANO DEDICATEDAT DEMETRIOS

FOUNDER'S DAYBy Tom Matheny

Founder's Day 1980 was kicked offas brothers and sisters gathered at thechapter house for alumni meetingswhich followed a buffet luncheon. Oneof the highlights of this year's meetingswas a visit by Charlie Weaver, WorthyGrand Estimator. It is important to notethe new sense of purpose anddedication which is sweeping throughour National. We have felt for severalyears that our National lacked direc­tion, and now, under Dean Burchard,Worthy Grand Architect, this ischanging, and changing rapidly. We alllook forward to working with him tomake Alpha Rho Chi a truly nationalfratern ity.

Brother Paul Shisler '30 receivedquite an ovation for celebrating his50th anniversary. Brother Bill Gould'30, always a Founder's Day regular,and Brother Carl Meinhardt '30, whohas been corresponding on a veryregular basis, were both celebratingtheir 50th anniversary this year. Theyunfortunately could not be at thecelebration. The Class of '77 had thebest attendance again this year. Otherbusiness included the continuation foranother year of the special one-timelife membership payment of only $100for those over 50. Regular life member­ship is still a modest $200. Additional­ly, two $450 scholarships wereawarded from the Alpha Rho ChiScholarship Fund. As a result ofdonations, the Scholarship Fund hasapproximately $8500 in it. TheDemetrios Alumni hope, again withmember support, to bring this total to$10,000 in the near future.

Certainly the high point of this year'sFounder's Day was the dedication ofthe piano. This event was made evenmore special since the Mitchell familywas able to join us for the ceremony.Brother Bates gave an emotionaldedication speech, and a plaque wasinstalled on the keyboard cover tocommemorate the dedication. It was a

most appropriate finish to a longrestoration process, and the beginningof the piano's new life as a constantreminder of Jim and Vicki's memory.The piano restoration is a project ofwhich we can all be especially proud.

About 75 Demetrios alumni, theirwives, and friends gathered at theLane Avenue Holiday Inn for thefestivities. Professor Charles Brewer,Chairman of the Department of Ar­chitecture, gave an interesting and in­citeful talk on the revitalization of in­town urban neighborhoods. ProfessorBrewer is a resident of VictorianVillage, and through renovation of hisown home, is experiencing urbanrevitalization first hand. Judging by thenumber of people who approachedProfessor Brewer following hispresentation, he aroused interest inthis subject in many people's minds.Later, Steve Shannon, former disc­jockey and co-host of PM Magazine,spun records as everyone took to thedance floor. The Big Band sound wasespecially popular this year.

A very special day was shared by allthose who attended Founder's Day1980. We are already beginning to planfor next year's Founder's Day. Wewant to make Founder's Dayan eventwhich everyone really wants to attendand looks forward to each year.

COLONY REPORTFour new Colonies of Alpha Rho Chi

existed in June of this year as theGrand Council and National Appoint­ments vigorously pursued the 1979National Convention Directives. TheColonies:

Daphnis - University of ArkansasDinocrates - University of Texas

At AustinDaedalus - California Polytechnic

State UniversityHeracleides - University of

Oklahoma

In June the number of Colonies wasreduced to three as Daedalus was in­stalled as a Chapter with the assistanceof Andronicus Chapter and nationalrepresentatives. Installation of theremaining colonies as chapters varieswith level of organization and size ofeach colony.

Additional inquiries from Schools ofArchitecture and students groups in­dicate that the growth potential forAlpha Rho Chi is very real.

Alumni wishing to assist in develop­ment of new Colonies, existing onpotential should contact the NationalInspection, Delores Giardinia.

HAZINGRecently, there have been a number

of court cases litigated involving theliability of fraternities and fraternitymembers for injuries and damagesresulting from IIhazing" practices.Although there is no generally ac­cepted definition of IIhazing," thisterm essentially encompasses a varietyof activities that could possibly ariseduring the course of the initiation ofnew members to a fraternity. Potentialliability can arise under a variety of dif­ferent theories available under the sub­stantive law of "tortS."

Essentially, a IItort" is a privatewrong committed by one individualagainst another individual whichresults in damages that are com­pensable. In such situations, theorganization sponsoring the activitymay have to share the liability for anytortious injuries. There are a variety ofsuch IItorts" which might routinely becommitted during the course ofinitiation activities thereby imposingliability on the fraternity as well as theindividual members involved. All ofthese activities should be avoided bythe fraternity and its members.

1. The most obvious IItorts" whichmight arise during hazing activities arelIassault" and IIbattery." A battery isthe causing of a harmful or offensivetouching of the person of another.

2. An additional area of possibleliability is that of IIfalse imprisonment."This particular tort would be com­mitted if a pledge were to be confinedagainst his will to a particular area.

3. Finally, most states also permitan award of damages for the tort of"infliction of emotional distress."Essentially, this particular area ofliability would involve the showing ofsome extreme a,nd outrageousbehavior which would be likely to, andwhich did in fact, cause mental dis­turbance to the individual that wassubjected to the activity.

All of the previously describedtheories of liability are intentional innature, and accordingly the nationalorganization of Alpha Rho Chi as apolicy prohibits these activities andsimilarily the local chapter~ shouldadopt similar written policies.

It should be remembered that thefailure to have such a policy could veryeasily subject the local Chapter, as wellas the national organization to seriousliability. In any event, any actual par-

Page 12: MAGAZINE OF ALPHA RHO CHI Archialpharhochi.org/archi-files/backissues/1980-Spring-Archi/1980-Spring-Archi-opt.pdfDates, Agenda and Outline 2 Chapterand alumni News 3 1980 Houston Meeting

ticipants in such activities would beclearly liable as individuals.

Probably a more likely situation inwhich liability could be incurred for in­jury to a pledge during hazing activitieswould be by the tort of negligence.Negligence is unintentional in natureand arises when an individual essen­tially does not perform an act in amanner consistent with the standard ofcare that would be followed by an or­dinary and prudent person undersimilar circumstances. Any injuriesresulting from such a failure to so actre compensable and, thus, can result inthe imposition of liability on thenegligent individuals and organization.

As can be seen from the briefdiscussion above, hazing activities in­volve tremendous financial risks if notcarefully monitored.

It must be remembered that one wellintended, but careless, action wouldlead to the imposition of liability sogreat that it could virtually eliminatethe financial solvency of the Fraternity,and the individuals involved in the ac­tivity.

Editors Note: This is a statement onhazing relating the position of thenational organization of Alpha RhoChi. It is presented for review andcomment by all officers, localchapters, Alumni organizations andColonies. It was prepared in part by thelegal consultant to Alpha Rho Chi.Comments should be forwarded to theWorthy Grand Scribe.

LETTER TO EDITOR GIVESHISTORY OF DAEDALUS COLONY

10 May 80Tom Sopoci, ARCHI EditorAlpha Rho Chi3125 Humboldt Ave. So.Minneapolis, Minn. 55408

Dear. Mr. Sopoci,

Enclosed you will find twelve (12)slides to be copied for later use by theGrand Council, and to be used for theupcoming edition of the ARCHI, bothas requested by the Grand Councilduring their recent visit. We would ap­preciate their return as soon aspossible so that copies could be madefor the Colony slide file, prior to theSchool's end in early June. Informa­tion is included on each slide, and asummary of our activities followsshortly. A copy of our current roster isalso included for your use.

Interest in Alpha Rho Chi, and thepossibility of establishing a chapterhere at Cal Poly (California Polytech­nic State University, San luis Obispo)began prior to January 1979. Inquirieswere made and the then W.G.S.,Charles Mosher, and Howard VanHeuklyn, G.l., visited Cal Poly inJanuary as a result. Interest continuedand support grew through the rest ofthe school year, and summer. In fall of1979 a petition was filed for the estab­lishment of a colony. As a resultDaedalus Colony officially came intoexistance November 12, 1979. Sincethat time Daedalus Colony has workedto establish itself as a strong unit in thenational organization. February 9, 1980the twenty-five colony members of­ficially became Pledges of Alpha RhoChi.

Daedalus Colpny's activities aremany, and diverse. Activities have in­cluded beach BBQ's, hat parties, andsurprise parties as well as major work­parties for the benefit of the school.We were also given the responsibilityof set-up and clean-up of the accredi­tation visit.

Cal Poly itself is a diverse universityof 16,000 students, with strongprograms in agriculture, engineering,and architecture, as well as manyothers, all of which stress the "Iearn bydoing" philosophy. Every April auniversity-wide open house, known asPoly Royal, attacks the school,drawing with it over 100,000 visitorsfrom across the state. (See Sunsetmagazine, April 80.)

During Poly Boyal Daedalus Colonywas extremely active. The Colonysponsored and ran both the School ofArchitecture and EnvironmentalDesign's Alumni Reception Room anda profitable concession stand (sellingdrinks and ceramic tiles; we estimateour profit at over $750.).

Our major undertaking, however,was our entry in II Design Village", awest coast student design conferenceheld every year in conjunction withPoly Royal. As you will see in theslides, our entry was a Greek temple(approximately 12' tall, 14' wide, and26' long). As with all Design Villagestructures ours was temporary, beingconstructed from styrofoam and"structural" cardboard. The structurewas prefabricated over several weeksand assembled in "tilt-up" fashion.

Reactions to the temple were allpositive, with many people askingwhat APX was. Many of the studentsvisiting from junior colleges expressedan interest in pledging if they areaccepted to Cal Poly.

Throughout the past year the colonyhas had close ties with AndronicusChapter. Our members have attendedseveral of their functions, and several

of their members have just recentlyvisited us for Poly Royal, spending thenight with us in our temple.

This last weekend, May 3rd and 4th,in conjunction with the Grand Coun­cil's visit, we joined Andronicus'Founders' Day activities. We all had afantastic time.

Presently the Colony is looking for­ward to initiation, fall rush, and theConvention in January, as well as theend of a very busy, but enjoyable year.

I hope this provides you withadequate background information onthe Colony.

We will look forward to the nextissue of the ARCHI, and to meetingyou at the Convention in Houston.
