From the Grand Regent

Spectator or Player. Which are you? Are you a Spectator who watches from the sidelinesas others play the game? Or are you a Player, in there involved with and part of the action?

It is a simple question, but it has a lot to do with the success of not only our organization, but any organiza-tion. An organization made up mostly of Players constantly works to “move the ball” and advance the goals ofthe organization. An organization made up of mostly Spectators waits for others to take the initiative and failsto move forward in pursuit of its goals.

The same is true in Kappa Psi. Each brother makes a difference in the fortunes of each chapter, each chap-ter makes a difference in the fortunes of each Province, and each Province makes a difference in Kappa Psi asa whole. We are all interrelated parts of one great puzzle, each affecting the other and the goals of Kappa Psi.

As I have said many times, each of us count. Each of us makesa difference. Ask yourself today, “Am I a Player or just aSpectator? Am I involved in helping my chapter or Provinceachieve its goals, or am I watching from the sidelines? Do I volun-teer when the call comes, or do I wait for others to step up?”

Make the commitment today to be involved and not justbelong. Ask for the ball; don’t wait for someone to throw it to you.Take the initiative, lead the team, and support your fellow broth-ers, chapters, Provinces, and Kappa Psi as a whole. Our futuredepends on each of you. Be a Player, not just a Spectator.

It is in this spirit that I announce the kickoff of our 2006–2007National Philanthropic Project: the Kappa Psi Quilt Project to ben-efit the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. The foundation works tohelp forge a brighter tomorrow for those afflicted with MS and to

give them hope fortomorrow. We canhelp the foundationmake a differenceby providing financial assistance to put the lives of MS sufferersback together, one piece at a time.

The project was conceived and launched in Province II andwill be coordinated through the National PhilanthropicCommittee and Province II. Brothers and chapters will be askedto make a donation that will be put toward the purchase and dec-oration of a square to sew into the quilt, with each Provincebeing asked to take charge of the assembly of its section. All

Province sections will then be merged into one national quilt. We hope to have the quilt completed by the 53rdGCC in Boston so it can be displayed as a physical symbol of our coming together as brothers, chapters, andProvinces to work toward a common goal.

We also hope to present the total donation to a representative from the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation at the53rd GCC. More information will follow in THE MASK, on the Kappa Psi home page, and during project pre-sentations at your Province assemblies this fall and in the spring.

Please make the commitment to participate in this project and make it a success. We can make a differencetogether. Be a Player, not a Spectator!

Fraternally,

Proud to be Your BrotherDavid E. MaszkiewiczGrand Regent 2005–07

What Have We Learned?I have learned quite a lot during the past 30 years or so of my life, mostly from other people

and from experiences gained along the road of life. This summer I was reading a book aboutthe importance we place on the unimportant things, events, or objects in life.

The book was divided into about 50 lessons that the author had learned about the thingsthat are really important as he traveled along that road of life. I was astounded at the similari-ties between the lessons he had learned and some of the lessons I have learned, and I felt Ineeded to share them with you. I can only hope that you learned some of these lessons withless pain!

I’ve learned that it takes years to build trust but only seconds to destroy it.I’ve learned that no matter how much you care, some people just don’t care back.I’ve learned that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.I’ve learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.I’ve learned that heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done,

regardless of the consequences.I’ve learned that it is not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that

counts.I’ve learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.I’ve learned that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.And finally. I have learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It

may be the last time you see them.

The author shared stories about his life with each lesson that he wrote about. I have seenmany of these same lessons written elsewhere, but the stories with each lesson were similarto some in my life.

Each of you will learn lessons along your life journey. I hope that some of the pain and sor-row that goes with these lessons is not too much to bear. I have also learned, however, thatyou can keep going long after you think you can’t.

L ittle ones at Sunrise Children’s Hospitalare getting a unique prescription forhealing these days: therapeutic dogs.

Specifically, Labrador retrievers.Modern medicine shows that dogs have

the amazing power to detect, treat, and curemany disease states and pathological condi-tions. The healing power of the dogs, com-bined with pharmaceutical drugs, providesunique and additive healing potential intoday’s clinical medicine setting.

The University of Southern Nevada(USN) College of Pharmacy in Hendersonand Sunrise Children’s Hospital in LasVegas brought these healing powers togeth-

er to fight disease and treat chronic condi-tions in children.

Allison Anne Welder, Ph.D., professor ofPharmacology and Toxicology at USN’sCollege of Pharmacy, takes her three dogsto Sunrise to be part of the canine therapyprogram. She alternates between LuLu,Tinker-Belle, and Abbie when she takesnationally registered Labrador retrieversvisit the children two to four times permonth.

With her extensive education in pharma-ceuticals and 27 years’ experience in teach-ing pharmacy courses, Dr. Welder knowsthe emotional and physical benefits that

therapeutic prescriptions can have on indi-viduals. She also understands the impactdogs can have on patients through herdecade of visits to hospitals and hospices.Dr. Welder and her Labs have visited chil-dren ranging in age from neonates to 18years who have everything from brokenbones to cancer. “When I walk into a hospi-tal room with one of my Labs, a child’s facechanges. You can see the pain melt awayimmediately,” she said.

It takes an amazingly kind, loving, andgood-natured animal to provide healingtherapy to hospitalized patients. Dr.Welder’s Labs are tested annually for obedi-

ence, skills, and good health by the DeltaSociety, Therapy Dogs International, andTherapy Dogs, Inc. Locally, the Labs aremembers of the K-9 Therapy Group of LasVegas. Each dog has also earned a K-9Good Citizen certificate from the AmericanKennel Club, indicating they have passedhealth requirements, skills tests, and per-sonality tests to become therapy dogs.

Dr. Welder and her Labs moved to LasVegas from Oklahoma City on January 1,2002, to help launch the first college of phar-macy in Nevada. Dr. Welder said she cameto USN to teach because the school isunique and because Dean Renee Coffman is“an entrepreneur on the cutting edge ofinnovative higher education who is willingto try new things.

“When I interviewed with Dean Coffmanfor the faculty position, I told her I was inter-ested in incorporating animal therapy intothe curriculum. I am grateful to have theschool’s administrative support. We are thefirst college of pharmacy in the UnitedStates to pursue this genre of innovativeclinical animal therapy in a Pharmacy cur-riculum. I have worked in environmentswith an attitude that dogs belong in a hunt-ing field, not in a hospital. This type of atti-tude about animals is so outdated.”

One of the reasons Dr. Welder enjoysLas Vegas is because of the embracing atti-tude of the medical community toward ani-

mal therapy. Sunrise Hospital is a wonderfulexample; it has supported animal therapy inits institution for the past seven years. JudyRoyer, director of Sunrise’s volunteer pro-gram, finds that animals bring somethingspecial to the hospital.

“It is amazing to watch a patient respondso positively to a visit from one of our thera-py dogs,” she said. “We believe the love ofan animal can assist with the recovery ofsome patients. We truly are thankful to thededicated owners and their dogs who taketime to visit our patients.”

Dr. Welder said the doctors, nurses, andstaff members at Sunrise enjoy having herLabs as part of the hospital’s therapy pro-gram. “It is great fun to walk down the hallsand watch the smiles that appear on thefaces of hospital personnel when they seeme coming with the dogs,” she said. “Ofcourse, many individuals have to stop andpat or hug the dogs when we pass by!

“What is really wonderful is when one ofmy dogs and I are in a room visiting a sickchild and one of our USN alumni (a full-timeSunrise staff pharmacist) walks into theroom to consult on the child’s drug treat-ment. Then, there it is right in front of me—my dog and my former student workingtogether, compassionately caring for thewelfare of the sick child. My heart feels joy-ful, and I feel that I have really made a con-tribution.”

Dean Renee Coffman said, “Dr. Welderand her dogs are promoting health and facil-itating healing as they visit children atSunrise. It’s a classic win-win scenario withbenefits to participants all around.”

Dr. Welder loves being part of USN andSunrise Hospital because they work togeth-er to provide valuable and state-of-the-arthealth care to Las Vegas and the entire stateof Nevada. Dr. Welder and her dogs illus-trate that one of the best prescriptions forhealing may not come in a medicine bottle,but may be standing right beside you, wag-ging its tail.

Philanthropic projects are the mainstay ofEpsilon chapter at the University of

Minnesota College of Pharmacy, TwinCities campus. After graduation, it is oftendifficult for brothers to continue to performphilanthropic activities in conjunction withKappa Psi. The Minnesota Graduate chap-ter continues to strive to make this easierfor their brothers!

The Epsilon and Minnesota Graduatechapters have a long-standing relationshipwith the American Lung Association ofMinnesota (ALAMN). For over 40 years,the ALAMN has sponsored CampSuperkids, a week-long camp for childrenwith asthma. Camp Superkids is held annu-

ally in July at the YMCA Camp Ihduhapi inLoretto, Minnesota. Camp Superkids strivesto offer children a way to learn about asth-ma, proper technique and importance oftaking their medications and provides train-ing on how to better manage their diseasein the setting of a true summer camp.

Back in 1978, Brother Don Uden wasinvited as a pharmacy intern to attend CampSuperkids by Dr. Steve Weiberg, a localallergist. After observing the medication dis-tribution system being used by the nurses,Don worked with Diane Jones, one of thecamp nurses, to improve the system. Hedeveloped a better process by using smallindividual medication boxes for eachcamper. They also designed a secure phar-macy area for medication storage and distri-bution. In 1980, Don enlisted the help of the

Epsilon chapter in the pharmacy operationsof Camp Superkids. After the Epsilon broth-ers graduated, they continued to come tohelp out at Camp Superkids and eventuallydeveloped a pharmacist-intern type systemwith Minnesota Graduate chapter, whichstill exists today.

Each year eight to 10 Minnesota Gradpharmacists and 15 or 16 collegiate broth-ers fill and verify medications and educatethe campers about their medications andasthma. The multi-disciplinary model hasgrown over the years and now allows phar-macists and pharmacy students to assistwith being “cabin leads” with a nurse, respi-ratory therapist or pediatric resident.Pharmacists supervise the pharmacy opera-tions and help in the Health Services withquestions and consults.

they also share feelings about what it is liketo live with asthma as a child.

This year, the Minnesota Graduate chap-ter expanded their relationship withALAMN by participating in the first annual“Blow the Whistle on Asthma” Walk. The

walk was held on June 3, 2006 on BoomIsland in Minneapolis. Team Kappa Psi sentout seven walkers and raised over $2,700 forALAMN, making us the 4th highest fund-raising team out of 66 total teams! The walknot only provided a great fund-raisingopportunity for ALAMN, but also reunitedmany pharmacists and other health profes-sionals who had worked together at CampSuperkids many years ago. The secondasthma walk has already been scheduledand Team Kappi Psi will again be lacing uptheir shoes for the event!

We hope these examples will providesome ideas and encourage more graduatechapters to take an active role in their com-munity by considering philanthropic oppor-tunities in the name of Kappa Psi!


Province Spot l ight

The brothers of Beta Omega at TempleUniversity hosted a successful Province IIfall assembly, September 29–30 in the Cityof Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. More than90 brothers were in attendance, includingGrand Regent Dave Maszkiewicz andBrother Tracy Anderson-Haag from theNational Chapter Awards Committee.

The weekend began with a Friday nightsocial at the Draught House where brothersbecame reacquainted with one another oversome light refreshments. Our opening ses-sion was called to order bright and earlySaturday morning by satrap Kelly Fee andProvince supervisor Bonita Shin. After com-pleting the roll call and seating all of the col-legiate and graduate chapter delegates, theminutes from the spring Province assemblywere reviewed.

The meeting proceeded with Provinceofficer reports, as well as a Province supervi-sor report and a report from the GrandRegent. Brothers were then divided intotheir respective committees, including, butnot limited to, Time and Place; RiskManagement; History; and Philanthropic.During the committee meetings, brothersreviewed current and ongoing projects with-in the Province and developed new andexciting ideas as well. The morning sessiondismissed after all committee reports werepresented.

Lunch was prepared and served by thebrothers of Beta Omega at their chapterhouse. Brothers served hotdogs, hamburg-ers, and barbeque chicken, in addition toother yummy picnic favorites to keep fellowbrothers from going hungry. Who knew thatthey could cook?!

Before the afternoon session began, amini career fair was held outside the audito-rium in which the meetings took place.Representatives from Walgreens, CVS, andExcellRx were on hand to meet with broth-ers about the great career opportunities theyhave to offer.

The meeting began once again with rollcall and the seating of delegates. Chapterreports and slideshows then took centerstage. As expected, the shows were delight-

fully entertaining, and each chapter did awonderful job displaying their professional,social, and philanthropic activities through-out their reports. Old and new businessitems were then discussed prior to the goodof the order and adjournment.

A banquet Saturday night at Moriarty’sIrish Pub in the heart of Philadelphia con-cluded the weekend’s meetings and events.After a delicious buffet dinner, it was time tohand out awards. The brothers of Delta

Epsilon received the Man Mile Award forhaving the greatest percentage of brotherstravel the furthest to the Province meeting.The Slideshow Award was given to thebrothers of Beta Kappa for an outstandingdisplay of the chapter’s progress throughoutthe year in all aspects of the Fraternity. BetaKappa also received the Chapter of the YearAward for Province II based on a wide rangeof criteria, including academic, social, andprofessional achievements.

New to Province II, AttendanceRecognition awards were given to thosebrothers who showed dedication and loyaltyto Province II over the years. Bronze starlapel pins were given to brothers who havebeen to at least 10 Provinces or GCCs, silverstars were given to those who have been toleast 25, and gold stars were given to broth-ers who have attended more than 40. Thisyear, silver stars were awarded to BrotherMichael Starvaggi and Brother JeanStarvaggi. This year’s gold star recipient wasnone other than Grand Regent DaveMaszkiewicz! He received this honor forattending 42 Province II meetings and GCCs.

Brother Tracy Anderson-Haag from theNational Awards Committee then took the

stage to present International Chapterawards. The brothers of Delta Epsilonreceived an award for being the fourthranked chapter in the nation this year. Thebrothers of Beta Kappa not only receivedthe Frank H. Eby Scholarship Tray Awardfor their outstanding grade point averageover the past year but also received anaward for being the second most outstand-ing chapter of the year. Finally, the brothersof Delta Omicron received recognition forbeing the most outstanding chapter of theyear. Congratulations to all of the ProvinceII brothers who took home awards!

So, what’s new in Province II? ThePhiladelphia Graduate chapter is at fullthrottle with several new graduates movinginto the area. In fact, the grad chapter held ameeting of their very own on Friday prior tothe start of the weekend’s festivities to electnew officers and discuss upcoming projectsand events. The new officers for Philly Gradare regent Mike McGraw, vice regentJocelyn Scout, secretary/treasurer AngelaVinti, and historian Kelly Fee.

Brothers plan to participate in a Taste ofPhilly pass-the-hat dinner with the brothersof Beta Omega. If anyone has questionsabout the happenings of the Philly Gradchapter or needs information on how tobecome involved, please email Brother MikeMcGraw at [email protected] note that all students in their finalyear of school are invited to join this gradu-ate chapter free of charge.

The Province II history committee isexcited about starting a new history projectfor the Province. It is our hope that we canpiece together information about ourProvince to help create a formal, writtenaccount of the brothers, events, and projectsof the past and present. Old agendas andMASK articles will be used to kick off thisproject. If you have interesting facts, informa-tion, memories, or stories about Province IIthat you would like to share, please contactProvince II historian Meghan Sullivan [email protected].

A new Province II website is also in theworks. Currently, a private MSN website isavailable to the brothers of Province II. Wehope that a new World Wide Web addresswill help us better communicate with broth-ers nationwide. Look for a new flashy andtechnologically savvy website to representthe brothers of PII in the near future!

At the moment, our pride and joy was theunveiling of our philanthropic project—anational Kappa Psi quilt project called Heartsand Crafts to benefit the Multiple SclerosisFoundation. Talk of this project began lastspring during our spring province assembly.Plans continued to develop over the past fewmonths with final details falling into place at

a summer interim meeting at Hershey Park.This will be a national Kappa Psi project inconjunction with Province II. We would liketo see a national effort by all Kappa Psi broth-ers, chapters, and Provinces to help raisemoney for a great cause. A joint effort madeby all will help ensure that the MultipleSclerosis Foundation will prosper from thiscollaborative effort.

Some of the services that will benefit fromthis project include Home Care grants, assis-tive technology, complementary and alterna-tive medicine, and Brighter Tomorrowgrants. Our goal is for each Province to raise$4,000, with a grand total of $36,000 nation-wide.

So how can you help? We ask that a $100minimum donation be made for each 24” x24” section. The purchaser(s) of each sectionwill then be responsible for decorating andassembling their square as they see fit withina 22” x 22” space. It’s necessary to leave aone-inch border around the parameter of thequilt square to provide room for the squaresto be sewn together. Upon completion ofyour quilt piece, mail it to the Province IIchaplain/co-chair of the NationalPhilanthropic Committee, Christina J.Mazur, for final assembly. It is our hope thatwith your help, we can unveil the quilt at the53rd GCC in Boston this summer. Currently,Province II has donated $1,000 to help getthis project started, so let’s keep the momen-tum going!

The motto for the Multiple SclerosisFoundation is “Make a Better Tomorrow.”As brothers of Kappa Psi, let’s make our besteffort to make a better tomorrow by not onlyraising money for a wonderful cause, but byworking together to achieve a common goalby “putting the lives of MS survivors backtogether one piece at a time.” For more infor-mation on this project, please contactBrother Christina J. Mazur [email protected]. For information on theMultiple Sclerosis Foundation, please visitwww.msfacts.org.

On a final note, clear your calendars now!The date has been set for the Province IIspring assembly. The next assembly will behosted by the brothers of Beta Eta at WestVirginia University in Morgantown, W.Va.,February 23–24. We look forward to seeingeveryone there!

Remembrances

By William A. Fitzpatrick, a.k.a. “Fitz”Kappa Psi Grand Regent 1974–1979Executive Secretary 1971–1973

W hen I was asked by John Porter,editor of THE MASK, to sharemy memories of Kappa Psi

Fraternity, I began thinking about my 45years as a Kappa Psi member, including the15 years I served at the national level. In1961, I was initiated into Gamma Pi chapter.I had come from Edwardsville, Ill., a townwith less than 8,000 people, to the boomingmetropolis of St. Louis, Mo. The St. LouisCollege of Pharmacy was a four-story, reno-vated factory building with no campus orextracurricular activities, except for fraterni-ties and sororities. Due to the limited sociallife at the college, I became interested in fra-ternity life and immediately pledged KappaPsi.

I quickly adapted to fraternity life andbecame very active, holding positions at

every level, including regent of Gamma Pichapter; satrap of Province VII, andExecutive Secretary and Grand Regent atthe national level.

I remember reactivating the St. LouisGraduate Chapter in 1965. Four years later,I became the first Assistant ExecutiveSecretary appointed by the ExecutiveCommittee.

I have many special memories of myfour-plus decades with Kappa Psi. In fact,my association with Kappa Psi has been amajor contribution to my professional andpersonal life. For example, the Fraternity’scommitment to high ideals and professionalstandards helped mold me as I launchedand developed my career. Fraternity lifeinstilled in me a competitive desire to

remain active and pursue the highest officeon each level, which I was able to accom-plish. I am thankful to the Fraternity for giv-ing me these opportunities.

As I look back, I believe my biggest chal-lenge was the untimely death of theExecutive Secretary late in 1970. InFebruary of the following year, theExecutive Committee asked me to assumethe office of Executive Secretary, whicheventually became one of the most reward-ing experiences of my Fraternity life.

Unfortunately, during that time, I discov-ered that the Fraternity was experiencingsignificant problems, unbeknownst to theExecutive Committee and the membership.The Grand Council Convention was post-poned until the following year while I

worked with the Executive Committee on amajor reorganization of the Fraternity’sbusiness operations to ensure continuanceof the Fraternity. During this time I was incontinual communication with theExecutive Committee and all of the livingpast Grand Regents. I felt my contributionto keep the Fraternity afloat was a goodinvestment of my time, and I am proud ofthe way our Fraternity made it through thisdifficult period.

After 18 months, I informed theExecutive Committee that the Fraternitywas financially sound and able to move for-ward, and I asked them to seek a permanentExecutive Secretary so I could continue topursue my goal of the becoming GrandRegent. I achieved this goal at the 37thGrand Council Convention in 1974 inKansas City, Mo. At the 38th GCC inPhiladelphia in 1976, I was re-elected asGrand Regent. I retired at the 39th GCC in1979, the Fraternity’s centennial anniver-sary, at the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale,Ariz.

I enjoyed many good times working withthe brothers of Kappa Psi. I was able toaccomplish most of my goals and contributeto the growth and future of the Fraternity. Imade many friends and acquired a greatdeal of knowledge that helped me in myprofessional life.

Since I have retired from activeFraternity life, I have bumped into manymembers who have made comments suchas: “Your name is on my membership cer-tificate.” “I remember looking you up whenI was a pledge.” “You were Grand Regentwhen I was a collegiate member.” Theserecollections by fellow brothers give mewarmth and satisfaction. I’m honored andhumbled that they remember me and mycontribution to their Fraternity life duringtheir collegiate years.

I have practiced in the profession as apharmacist for 41-plus years. I really dobelieve that my involvement with Kappa Psiwas and continues to be a major contribu-tion to the success I have achieved in myprofession. I will always remember those

days and continue to reminisce about thechallenges and successes I experienced aspart of the Fraternity. I strongly recommendthat everyone read The History of Kappa Psiby Brother Dewey Garner.

My comments would not be completewithout mentioning the good times my fami-ly enjoyed with me at various Kappa Psifunctions, which included the last twoGrand Council Conventions. My daughterswere in Philadelphia on July 4th, 1976, atour 38th GCC and were present atIndependence Hall at the start of America’sbicentennial celebration. They were thrilledto not only visit but also touch the LibertyBell. At the 39th GCC, my five youngdaughters were the center of attention, dis-playing their youthful energy and anticsaround the pool.

I would like to wish the Fraternity and itsmembers continued success. I am honoredto be a member of Kappa Psi, and I appreci-ate the opportunity to talk about the goodold days.

The fifth annual Pan-AmericanRegional Symposium (PARS) washeld in Quito, Ecuador, May 26–30,

2006. Approximately 22 students fromNorth and South America attended thisIPSF conference, which included an edu-cational program, a regional assembly,and a cultural program.

Notable presenters included Dr. JoséJuarez, professor at San MarcosUniversity in Peru, and Dr. José Manautoufrom the University of Connecticut.Honored Ecuadorian speakers includedIng. Carvajal, Dr. Santamaria, Dra.Chiriboga, Dra. Morales, and Dr.Zambrano.

Students learned from presentationsthat covered such topics as intellectualproperty, dermopharmacy, medicinalplant investigation and development,acetaminophen and hepatotoxicity, naturalproducts, industrial pharmacy quality con-trol, genetics, and nanotechnology.

Ecuadorian students Patricia Velascoand Yadira Maza presented their yearlongprojects to participants. Additionally, infor-mation about IPSF and how to developand maintain a project was also available.

The purpose of the regional assembly isto elect the Pan-American RegionalWorking Group (RWG) and to discussregional issues. Congratulations to thenew RWG!

I want to extend a big thank you to thevoters and the note-taker during theregional assembly. I’d also like to give anextra-big thank you and a round of

applause to Rocio Mendez (U.S.A.),regional relations officer 2005–2006, forher dedication to translating presenta-tions, speeches, and announcements to allparticipants. This task was in addition toher contributions during the past year.

Quito was a great city to have PARS!The hotel and conference rooms were ashort walk from restaurants, clubs, andshopping, all of which is surrounded bythe breathtaking Andes Mountains. It tookparticipants a few days to catch theirbreath, literally. Quito is at about 9,200

feet (2,800 m), but since it is located nearthe equator, sunny, warm days and slight-ly cool nights make up the weather yearround.

PARS 2006:A Great Success!

Chairperson: Karen McGill(U.S.A.)

Relations Officer: Javier Logrono(Ecuador)

Secretary: Cecilia Becerra(Ecuador)

Internal Communication Officer:Yvette Garcia (U.S.A.)

The first evening’s activity was a tour ofthe beautiful Colonial Quito. The church-es, buildings, and squares built in the 16thcentury (over what was part of an Incanempire) are so wonderfully preserved thatthey have been declared a World HeritageSite by the United Nations.

The following evening, a tour of Quitoby chiva was provided. A chiva is a large,two-story, open-air bus with a band thatplays on top. Everyone had a great timetaking in the sights, tapping with the beat,and shouting “Galopar” to onlookers.

The final day of PARS was spent view-ing gorgeous handmade crafts in Otavalo,including tablecloths, scarves, bags, blan-kets, clothing, carvings, and paintings.

The Otavaleños are indigenous peoplewho speak Quichua, an Incan derivative,who brought their Andean culture to therest of the world. The afternoon was spentat the Mitad del Mundo (the middle ofworld), proving that you can be in twoplaces at once. A large monument andorange line marks the equator where youcan stand in both North and SouthAmerica!

Thank you, Javier Logrono, CeciliaBecerra, and all who helped organizePARS 2006!

Your pic notin the MASK?Although The MASK strives touse all photos possible, thereare several reasons why somephotos find themselves on the

editing room floor.

1. Too low a dpi. The MASK is high quality printed matter andunless a photo is the equivalentof 300 dpi, it will appearbitmapped and fuzzy in the finalprinted piece. Shots capturedwith cell phones won’t work.Digital cameras should at leastbe 3 megapixels and have the camera settings on large.Sadly, many otherwise greatshots cannot be used becausethey were too low a resolution.

2. Too dark. Use your flash!Pay attention to the sunlightand make sure one face is notshaded while another is in thebright sun.

3. Hard copy prints made offhome printers. Lately we’vefound otherwise good digitalcaptures are being printed onhome disublimation printers.The resulting photo has striation and patterns thatcause disturbing patterns andfuzziness when scanned forpublication. What is not visibleby the eye is very evident in the scan. Have prints made commercially (Walmart, CVS,KMart, Walgreens) or send theoriginal digital file. We loveLARGE digital files. Those canbe sent compressed or on a CD.

4. Disturbing croppings oroffending things. If you’ve cutoff the subject’s head, etc. in aphoto, we may not be able tomake a nice cropping for themagazine. Photos of drugs andalcohol will not run in TheMASK. Drinks that look likealcohol won’t run either.

We have been successful withanother Lexicomp sale, offeringLexi-Clinical Suite and Lexi-Complete for PDAs to our students.

We have a great new class ofpotential brothers. We had twosocial events for the new class,including our annual Night ofBrotherhood bowling.

We decided we need to promoteKappa Psi more on campus, andwe’re doing so by wearing ourshirts on Mondays all year long. Tohonor National Pharmacy Month,the brothers of Delta Sigma, in con-junction with ASHP, sponsoredshort presentations to high schoolstudents about the profession of

ing session. We handed out copiesof last year’s assessment andstressed the importance of takingtheir education seriously. After theassessment, we relaxed by headingout to the Strip to take in some ofthe sights, starting atMargaritaville.

Still enjoying our three-day week-end, we took advantage of the startof the NFL season and hosted aMonday Night Football party atNikki Lee’s. We had a good turnoutat this and all other rush activities.Rush came to a close on September15 when we held our pinning cere-mony. Brothers put on a potluckdinner before the ceremony withlasagna, chicken wings, and salads.Our regent, Dave Margraf, and ourGDC, Dr. Allison Welder, made afew remarks to kick off the ceremo-ny. We had 25 students pledgeKappa Psi. Although this was not asmany as last year, we are still gladto see the continuing strength ouryoung chapter continues to build.After the ceremony, we had anoth-er night on the town at GreenValley Ranch.

As we head toward the initiationof our pledges in Henderson, welook forward to a challenge putforth by our dean. We still haveanother rush in South Jordan as weattempt to bring Kappa Psi intooperational status at USN’s newsatellite campus. We’re planning ontaking advantage of Utah’s coolerclimate by hosting a snowboardingtrip while telling the students there

about the wonderful opportunitiesthat Kappa Psi provides. We hopeto have a second group of DeltaTau brothers up there soon.

The F inal Word

Past Grand Regent August G. Danti Mourned

The profession of pharmacy and our beloved Ordermourn the passing of Dr. August G. Danti, Kappa Psi PastGrand Regent. Brother Danti was a 1946 initiate of BetaKappa chapter at the University of Pittsburgh, where heearned his B.S. and M.S. degrees before enrolling at theOhio State University from which he was awarded the Ph.D.

Brother Danti provided decades of leadership and serviceas a faculty member at the University of Louisiana at Monroe(formerly Northeast Louisiana University). His transitionfrom the North to Louisiana was rapid and lasting as waseverything Gus did in his professional and fraternal life. Hewas quick to remind those who pronounced his adoptedhome city as “MONroe” that it is “MUNroe” suggesting inhis quiet and genteel manner that one should not forget iteither!

Dr. Danti served the Fraternity nationally as Third GrandVice Regent (1967–1968), Second Grand Vice Regent(1968–1969), and as Grand Regent (1969–1972). These weretumultuous times in Kappa Psi, organizationally as well asfinancially. Our Order was fortunate indeed to have had GusDanti’s leadership during that period, resulting in the right-ing of the ship-of-state and assuring our very existence today.

Gus was a deliberative and gentle person whose love anddevotion to Kappa Psi never was affected by turmoil. Whenbrothers, young and old, visited with Gus Danti, they all were treated with the samedegree of respect and dignity, whether he had known them for decades or minutes. Hewas the consummate Kappa Psi Brother each and every one of us should try to emu-late.

One cannot help envisioning Past Grand Regent Danti counseling the Lord on howthings might be run differently and more efficiently where they are now, respectfully,of course.

May this gentle man and beloved Brother rest in peace!
