Greetings Fraters,

FALL, 1984

As you are aware, much attention is paid today in investing and developing virgin frontiers. Seldom are we willing to re-invest in an old scheme, especially if we have been hearing over the years discouraging reports. But many brokers are presently advising their investors to re-evaluate their investment strategy. Brokers cite changes in values, trends, ideals, people, inflation, and capital as optimistic signs for re-investing in an old scheme that is once again profitable.

Nu Chapter is like a-bond or stock that in recent years has slumped_ As Prytani s, may I cite for you a few signs of new 1 ife and reason for

vigorous new alumni investment:

1) A 46-member house. 2) A live-in budget number of 37. 3) Two successive 18-man pledge classes. 4) National 1984 rating as a successful chapter. 5) The first complete list of Chapter Bylaws. 6) The restoration of the Chapter Room. 7) The building of 3 new bathrooms. 8) A weekly scrapbook--up to date. 9) Articles in both the Californian and the California

praising Chapter community work at Malcolm X elementary school. 10) Two free Alumni Luncheons paid for by the active chapter.

This list is but a brief summation of the many great accomplishments Nu Chapter has made this semester.

Fraters, we need your help! In addition to any financial aid you might render, we need lamps, carpets, sofas, chairs, pictures, tools, kitchen items, pots, pans, dishes, skilled workmen, alumni leaders, vocational counselors, and any other item or service that would allow us at Nu Chapter to help ourselves. It is an uphill battle we at Nu are determined to win!

"Rich Fraternity / Strong Brotherhood" is our motto. You are part Qf that rich alumni tradition and the strong brotherhood of TKE. Will you not help us to regain our prosperity? We are standing tall and every day Nu Chapter rises to new heights in spreading love, charity, and esteem to new men on the Berkeley campus. Let1s work together again as brothers in the Bond.

I remain,

Yours in the Bond,

Barrett B. Madrigal Pry tanis, Nu Chapter

'ITIES, INCLUDING BIG GAME LUNCHEON ON NOVEMBER 17---BE SURE TO ATTEND!

'FO( are well into our first semester here and news piles up quickly. Nu Chapter ing part in all types of activities.

lding our list right now is the Big Game Luncheon on Nov mber 17. This will )0 am and we urge all alumni and friends to attend. The luncheon and open

.. _J;Z; Q, e Ifrlportant activities for the current crop of fraters and we are all excited at the prospect of meeting our "older brothers". Even if you don't have tickets to the game, come by---we'll have speakers set up so you can listen to the game and enjoy the festive atmosphere of Big Game Day.

The UCLA Luncheon was a huge success. Seventy-five alumni and family members

showed up to see the House. It was a big thrill to have Frater Sam Peden, Nu '59, lead

the student section at Memorial through a series of rousing cheers.

Other activities included a TEKE road trip to USC where 15 fraters spent a glor­ious weekend; because of our 31-7 defeat, football was not the highlight. We visited the USC and UCLA TEKEs. The trip was fantastic, except on the trip home when the Winnebago broke down 160 miles from home. Fifteen fraters spent the night in the camper. We hope that the Nu Chapter TEKEs have seen the last of Firebow, California.

Red Carnation Ball was held Friday, November 9, at Maxwell Plum in San Fran­cisco. About 40 couples attended and it was a bash worthy of Nu Chapter. For the Big Game we are doing House Deck Decorations with the Chi Omegas. We have a secret entry, and hope to win the contest;

Pledges and actives like wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, and please stop by for the Big Game Luncheon at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 17.

A REPORT FROM THE HEGEMON Gilbert Gassuan

Nu Chapter started this semester with eighteen outstanding pledges. Two have dropped out because of conflicts with their personal lives. The remaining sixteen are:

Peter Cloven (Laguna Niguel), pledge class president Simon Cantley (Laguna Beach), pledge class vice president Joe Brabant (Riverside), pledge class treasurer Justin Kesteslyn (Laguna Beach), pledge class historian Rich Goss (San Francisco) Thor Oxnard (Irvine) Joe Keenan (Saratoga) Ted Walker (Danville) Jeff Gerig (Lodi) John Paris (Clayton Valley) Ken Witmner (Marin) Eric Lutter (Saratoga) Chris Rodriquez (Danville) John Eubanks (La Canada) Don Boss (Hawaii) Dave Levine (Woodland Hills)

The pledge class has already gone through two phases of initiation and held its pledge party on October 13. The pledges also attempted to sneak Dion Mathewson and Steve Schmidt. Both were transported to Laguna Beach, where Dion managed to escape and was later picked up by following actives.

Other requirements of the pledge class are a pledge dinner, project, gift, and pledge paddles. Pledges must also achieve a minimum GPA of 2.5 to be initiated. If all goes according to plan, pledges will be initiated in late January.

Thirty-two fraters from 19 different chapters of Tau Kappa Epsilon, principally alumni living in the San Francisco Bay Area, met for a 1984 TKE TODAY luncheon on October 23, sponsored by the Teke Educational Foundation.

Executive Vice President T.J. Schmitz hosted the affair on behalf of the Founda­tion and talked briefly about our fraternity's growth (largest in the nation), its health, and prosperity.

Round-robin self introductions evoked interest and amusement as fraters recalled incidents and anecdotes dating back to their college days, several -reaching more than half a century into the past. Highlight of the informal program was the showing of an inspiring slide film titled "TKE Today".

Nu Chapter alumni and active fraters in attendance included Ward D. Ingrim '31, A. James McCollum '34, Stanley Shepard (Alpha Pi Chapter), Thomas E. Morgan '52, Dan B. Costello '51, George Dove '51, Barrett Madrigal (Nu Prytanis), and Dave Levine (Nu pledge).

(Editor's note: The above article was submitted by Jim McCollum, who promises "to report

any such items in the future which deserve coverage in the Nu News." Thanks Frater Jim

for taking the time to report this event. How about other alums sending us news of Teke

alums and activities?)
