THE UNDERGRADUATE PRESIDENTIS MESSAGE . . . M ar k L u s s i e r 175

With the decline of the Gre�k fraternity system of the late sixties now but a dim
memory, the men of TKE look toward an outstanding year in a house that has moved back in­
to its rightful position of campus leadership.

TKE has always led the campus in Grade Point Average, as oLir Alumni know so well
{thanks to repeated notation in Herb Caenls column concerning our political envo1vement).
Now. we have even more to boast of. TEK E I S downstairs walls and floors - that were once
desc,ribed as being painted in "slum clearance brown," have been completely refinished and
,the resulting light-toned redwood living and dining rooms are the envy of the Greek com-
.munity.· Repairs were made on the upstairs, paint was applied and a bar was custom built .
for 'our refurbi shed basement. A truly professiona1 job was done - but without the cost
� of professionals! All the wor-k was carried out by TEKEls over the summer led by t�ark
Sehavsky 173, Dan Vasquez 176, Larry Miller 175 and Jon Weber 174.
)

. JKE has become a major voice on the Interfraternity Council with Mike Whelan 176 as
", rFC - As�sl stahCTrer.;;s-urer ;Henry Saunders -17T as tne TKE representati"'re-·to-the---Coun-cil and--
-:.myselfas
. . U
the IFC TreasLlrer. Three votes from one house wield a good deal of influence!
•

Our relations with campus sororities are excellent. Our "Little Sister" program
. has"gained quite a bit of poptilarity with the ga1s� They have found that the TKE house
. is ribW.both a friendly and attractive place for them to visit.

�_, . . Rest assure� that our most important relations are with our Alumni! We have already
"�'scheduled a CA�-UCLA Alumni Brunch.at 10 :30 a.m. on October 26th before the game (beer
"
:a'fte-r'l-he game). This newly established tradition will be continued for the Big CAL-STAN­
FOR;D. g·�ine (exc�pt that post-game we wi11 serve cocktai1s instead of brew) . Casino Night,
;F6u;ndet�'sIDay and a host of other ,i.\lumni activities are nO\,1 in the planning stages.
�. WaJGh" for our announcements concerning these events.

The summer and fall rush went \'/ell - recruiting 14 new pledges. The recruiting pro­
_ces� was somewhat more selective than in the past.

The leadership a house can exert is directly dependent upon its internal leadership.
We are very well heeled in this regard, and I take pr-ide in introducing my fellow
officers:

On behalf of the men of TKE, I extend to you good wishes for a 'happy and successful
year,' and also a personal in�itatton to attend the Alumni events throughout the year.
Please make sure to visit the house. You will find,that the friendliness and relaxed at­
mosphere upon which our reputation was built combi�es well with a more stately house and
