CONVENTION OFFICERS(Various members of Demetrios Chap­

GRAND COUNCIL REPORTOur sources of funds are the Chapters,

The Alumni, and investments. The Chap­ters contribute through dues, initiations,and minor miscellaneous. The Alumnicome through by Life Membership andannual Alumni dues. But the major sourceof income (one half or better) is fromdividends and interest on investments:common stocks and loans.

There was a discussion on Chaptersdealing with W.G.E. All information IScontained in the Handbook.

Specific Questions and Answers:Q. Who decides on investments?A. WGE after consulting with broker

(Reynolds Securities) . Loans after con­sultation with other members of GrandCouncil.

Q. Why do we have problems gettingbadges and certificates?

A. Many things. Late reports, fees notsubmitted, delays in engraving, badge or­ders sent to Jeweler instead of WGE, de­lays is transmission from engraver to WGAto Chapter.

Q. How do we get forms and publica­tions?

A. All forms and publications comefrom the National Office. The MonthlyReport form is sent automaticly eachmonth (8 times per year, October' to May)to each Chapter.

Q. Do we make money?A. No! All funds are spent in operation

or invested for future return and use inoperation.

ARCHI EDITORIt is most difficult to keep our address

lists current. Reporting a current addressfor each graduate with the final monthlyreport (May) would help. Actives andAlumni could help by sending out a"news sheet". Two or three times a yearand informing National of any addresschanges.

News is needed from the Chapter - notgripes or tales of woe. Send a letter to theEditor, do not call. Find someone in theChapter who can write - type, doublespace, on 8Y2 by 11 or . letter neatly.There should be three pages minimum ofnews from chapters on actives and Alumni(with names) in each issue.

Photos are needed. Contact Prints only,not negatives. Identify those in pictureand the activity.

Alumni should keep us up to date ontheir activities and achievements. Thoughwe do not like to think of it, obituariesare necessary, with any known facts.

Sketches can be used. Line only, blackand white, no shading or color, for re­production purpo~es.

The irregularity of publication is mainlydue to having nothing to publish. Someof Inaterial submitted is not satisfactoryfor publication in a news piece that goesto Alumni and schools.

If there is a necessity for internal dis­cussion that must be published, The "Rise"should be used for the purpose. Discussionof The "Rise" led to the following motion:

"The WGA should direct the Editor ofThe Archi to publish an issue of the "Rise"at least once a year (November). It shallcontain a report from each Chapter onits status at the start of the school year.

The motion was carried.

ELECTIONThe position of WGA was open at thisConvention. No nomination committee hadbeen appointed. Prior to opening the floorfor nominations the duties of the WGAwere read from the Constitution.

Edward A. Rhodes" Demetrios Alumnus,was elected W.G.A.

CHAPTER REPORTSThe reports were given in an informal

manner which led to considerable discus­sion. Because of this, the reports are pre­sented as a series of problems and recom­mendations.

1. Continuity between officers - Elec­tions in mid-year rather than at the endof the year. A handbook passed on foreach office from the outgoing to the in­coming officer. Provide a training periodfor the old officers to train the new.

2. Board meetings - Use the Board asset up in the Constitution to discuss mat­ters before regular Chapter meetings. Thiswill avoid over-long meetings and providean agenda.

3. Chapter House "office" - The Chap­ter should have a location; a room perfer­ably but at least a cabinet, in which allfiles, records, forms, handbooks, Constitu­tion, Ritual, and file for each officer iskept.

4. Communication between Actives andAlumni - Hold regular meetings (month­ly, if possible) with actives and Alumni.Discuss and report on active chapter func­tions, finances, pledging, house conditions,and problems. From the Alumni shouldcome aid on professional events, employ­ment opportunities, and aid in house man­agement.

5. Financial - Bills are due when ren­dered. House rent and board paid in ad­vance, monthly or semester. Anyone inarrears must appear before the Board. TheW.E. should give a monthly financial re­port before an open meeting of all mem­bers.

6. Knowledge of Constitution - Allpledges shall have read and studied theConstitution and By-Laws of APX andthe Handbook prior to initiation. A sec­tion of the Constitution or the Handbookshall be read and discussed at the begin­ning of each Chapter meeting.

7. COlnmunication - A bulletin Boardin each Chapter House or meeting placewith maps, addresses, locations and pic­tures of all chapters. The latest copy ofthe ARCHI and all recent communica­tions from the Grand Council and otherchapters posted.

8. Lack of "Professional Brotherhood"- Prepare a handbook for each member(This would be different for each chapter).Chapter meetings should be professionalwith members properly attired. Everymember should be involved in som'e man­ner - "People only support what they helpcreate."

Convention was adjourned at 12:15p.m., December 28, 1972.

Master Architect "Bucky" Fuller willassist Chapters depending on his schedule.Advance notice is necessary. He may becontacted through Ed Rhodes.

Active Chapter1972-73 was a busy year for Andronicus.

Fall rush started the year off. We kept

busy during the fall with parties after

each of the football games, and ended the

regular season by participating in h.ouse

deC's \vith the Gamma Phi Beta's. As is

becoming tradition, Andronicus captured

the sweepstakes trophy. Our New Year's

Eve party fa Bowed by the Rose Parade

and a great Rose Bowl victory provideda fitting end for an unbeatable footballseason. Spring events started ,,,,ith theinitiation of five ne'v members into theAndronicus Chapter. \Ve had a week longski trip to Lake Tahoe over Easter, andended the year with a weekender in PalmSprings. Also, during 1972-73, vve receivedthe award for having the highest G.P.A.of any fraternity here at USC, with ahouse average of 3.2. We won the sameaward last. year \-\lith a house average of3.3.

Fall rush started in ] une this year, andif it's any indicator of the amount ofactivity of the house, this year is going tobe busier than last. Rush events whichwe've already had include a discussion andtour with Lloyd Wright, a discussion andtour with Mrs. Rudolph Schindler at herhome, and a discussion and tour with Mrs.Richard Neutra at her house. We've alsohad a tour of the new 62 story V.C.B.building under construction in downtownL.A., a vveekend trip to San Diego, aweekend trip to San Francisco, and abeach party. Events planned for Septem­ber include a tour of the office of A.C.Martin a tour of the executive offices ofthe Ba~k of America on the 51 st floor ofthe just completed Arco Towers, a movienight at the house, a welcome back beerbash at school, a meet the faculty nightat the house, parties after all of the homefootball games, and our annual Cham­pagne Party which will be at the close ofrush. Also, \ve will be having a differentfaculty member to dinner every Mondaynight with a talk, slide show, or discus­sion afterwards. The members of Androni­cus are looking forward to this school year,as it looks as though it will be even betterthan last year.

Active members of 1973 were Mario Al­varez, John Casey, Ramon Danganan,Walter Deissler, K.

from an American school of Architectureand later becam·e head of the ArchitectureDepartment at Illinois. He also was thefirst Master Architect of Alpha Rho Chi.The week was filled with lectures" discus­sions, and seminars, involving many not­able members of the profession, highlightedby the Canadian Architect, Arthur Erick­son. APX took an active part in all ofthe programs and was dinner host to Mr.Erickson.

In late March, eight brothers and onepledge of Anthemios journeyed to AnnArbor with hopes of helping Iktinos withtheir rush program. U nfortunately, ourcombined efforts were, apparently, to noavail. Anthemios is indeed troubled andsorry to see her sister chapter fall uponsuch difficult times. We wish her the bestof luck for the future. Spring activitieswere brought to a climax with Butterfly,an Alpha Rho Chi sponsored, Student Fac­ulty Multi-Media Art Festival. This an­nual event drew active participation frommany members of the College of Fine andApplied Arts. Featuring artwork, music,dance, and slide shows,. the weekend showwas a great success.

Anthemios looks forward to next yearwith many plans and new ideas. We inviteall our Archi brothers to drop in on us at1108 S. First next year.

Fraternally,William D. Bradford, WAA

Dear Brothers of Alpha Rho Chi,

This year has found Anthemios chapterbusy with a host of activities. From initia­tion at the start of school last fall, to finaldesign projects this spring the IllinoisArchis have been on the go.

The big activity of the fall was Home­coming. APX paired with AOII sororityand decked up 1108 S. First with a housedecoration that earned us a Second Prize.The theme was "Orange Crush" but, ·asMichigan demonstrated, it should havebeen "Orange Crushed". Our fall pledgeclass of 12 made an early December visitto Demetrios. The Ohio Staters were veryfriendly but didn't seem to feel at ease,being outnumbered by their guests. LateDecember again found Anthemios in Co­lumbus for the National Convention. Wewere represented by Jerry Voigt WA, SteveHarms VVAA, and Doug Miller PledgeTrainer. At initiation time in February,we were joined by Steve Janick and sev­eral actives of the Iktinos chapter. Theycame to Champaign to join in the festivi­ties, along with several alumni from thischapter.

During the week of February 20 to 24,the University of Illinois Department

of Architecture and Alpha Rho Chi, cele­brated the centennial of the graduation ofDr. Nathen Clifford Ricker, from this uni­versity. Dr. Ricker, who played an im­portant part in the founding of Alpha RhoChi and this chapter, was the first graduate

Students in FranceWhen Mr. Fritzinger asked me to write

about our program in Europe, he seemedto share the lack of knowledge that manypeople seem to have about the program.Perhaps the reason for this is that it isdifficult to explain exactly what we did.Rather it was a matter of increasing ourawareness through living a different lifestyIe. Basically, we took the same coursesthat fourth year students in Champaigntook, but through the less rigid Frenchsystem. At first, everything seemed slowand inefficient and it took a while torealize we weren't part of the U niv. ofIllinois machine. After the ball got rolling,however, we were putting out the projectsjust like Champaign, with a little traveltime on the side.

I t took a while to learn to live with theFrench students. Our initiation came thefirst day of the cafeteria line, with a bom­bardment of water buckets from the sec­ond floor windows. They soon learned,however, we could play their own game.

On the serious side, we got a chance to

see firsthand, the building we studied aboutin history. Those weekend trips to Parisprovided an excitement that is hard tomatch. I can still remember the time webought our bicycles in Paris and rode backto Versailles in rush hour traffic; or thetime Dennis Humphries missed the lasttrain to Versailles. All our experiencesthroughout the year helped us understandthe French way of life a little better andpossibly our own.

Being in Europe for nine months wasgood in that it brought us past the touriststage; much deeper into the various cul­turts. As Tom (Mr. Munich) Napier cantell you, Munich has more to offer thanbeer. He won a $250 prize for a study ofits transportation system. Some of usstudied the mountain towns around Nicefor their architectural- qualities. In general,architecture provided a base for travel andgetting into other aspects of a culture.

If this doesn't give you a better idea ofthe program over there, all I can say is goand see for yourself 'if you have thechance. Ask any of the five of us, Dennis

The 1972-1973 school year was one ofgrowth and activity for the DemetriosChapter of Alpha Rho Chi. During thisperiod nine (9) new actives were initiated,including three (3) female members push­ing the total active membership to eighteen( 18). Three outstanding seniors were lostthrough graduation, leaving a nucleus offifteen (15) actives to face the new year.Also, preparing to face the new schoolyear, we have six (6) pledges, two (2) ofwhich are female. We are looking forwardto school year 1973-1974 as another one ofgrowth and betterment of the fraternityfor the Demetrios Chapter and the entire­ty of Alpha Rho Chi.

This summer sees a revelation not onlyfor Demetrios Chapter, but Alpha RhoChi and perhaps the fraternal systemacross the country, as the third floor ofthe Chapter House is being prepared as

living quarters for three (3) girl members.The holding corporation has allotted onethousand dollars ($1000.00) for basic re­modeling (the male membership has yetto understand the pr·eferential treatment)in preparation of the new residents. Alongwith the remodeling, ne,v rules pertainingto coed living were passed, relieving legalpressures and now with consideration to­wards others from all concerned, we planto make this new experiment a success.

There will be fifteen (15) actives resid­ing in the Chapter House beginning thisschool year which is capacity for the brickstructure. With the Chapter House filledto capacity and a very persistent and ef­ficient W.E. this year should also be oneof financial stability.

A quick rundown of the summer showseleven (11) actives employed by Columbusarchitects, seven (7) of which are em­ployed by Alumni of our Chapter. Thisnot only provides excellent experience inthe profession, but is essential in main­taining improving the Alumni relations.This proved invaluable in our previousyear's rushing success. Several Alumni gave

-up their time and on occasion their officesfor rush functions and other activities. Weare making a great effort to make the"Frat" something in which they can con­tinue to participate once away from schooland hope to come in contact with manymore in' the future.

Relations with the Ohio State UniversitySchool of Architecture have also beengood, ,vith the director of the school,Lawrence Gerkens, (an alumni of AlphaRho Chi) being very helpful and respon­sive to our wishes. In turn we have madeourselves available for school activities.

We of Demetrios wish all Chapters ofAlpha Rho Chi a successful FraternalYear. We also hope to see good relationsbetween Chapters and the National offices.

CHAPTER HOUSE229 E. 17th Ave., Columbus, Ohio

Vice Pres. - Ronald \Veav('r

Secretary - Brian McConnell

Trf>asurer - Ronald Strohnl

The Demetrios Alumni Association hasbeen busy this past year trying to keeppace "vith the growing needs of a grO'vvingChapter. To say that the Denletrios Chap­ter is gro"ving \vould be an understatement.Through the facilities of the Alumni Asso­ciation coupled with the massive rushingprograms, the active membership almostdoubled last year. The Chapter Hou~e \-villbe filled to capacity this fall for the fir ttime in seven years, "vith a waiting listbesides. If this fall quarter rush is at allsuccessful, the Alumni Association andHolding Company will become involvedin locating additional or new housing forthe ehapter.

The Delnetrios Alumni Association~s

major concern since Founders' Day hasbeen to locate and establish communica­tion with lost Alumni. We hope this pro­gram will serve to strengthen the Associa­tion and increase Brotherhood. This willalso help the Active Chapter by providingthem greater resources in finding jobs orprofessional quadance. This has been andwill continue to be the goal of the DeIne·~

trios Alumni Association.This coming Founders' Day is the six·~

teenth anniversary of the Fraternity andwe are planning to make it our biggest\veapon to rekindle alumni activity.

We feel confident that our new rosterand active chapter performance will pro­vide us with the resources to activate ournews letter and prolnote Founders' Dayand membership.

Fraternally,Gene R. Milhoan, A.LA.Alumni President,Demetrios Chapter

IKTINOSAn era is drawing to a close. For 24

years, 640 Oxford Road has been home for

Iktinos. It has served as a mecca for APX

actives, alumni and visitors. It has hosted

several national conventions. Many dis­

cussions, meetings and parties have been

held there. As of May of this year, Ik­

tinos has to find new quarters.

The sale of our house should come asno surprise to anyone who has been closeto chapter activities. For several years,fraternity life has been on the decline atMichigan, and during this time, the Build­ing A.ssociation has been trying to sell theproperty to avoid the possibility of avacant house. The fe"\' offers receivedhovvever, ""f're belo\-v what ,vas consideredreasonable.

This year, fraternities and soroities havebeen hit even harder for menlbershio.Many of the large houses, that have heidon during this trying period, were forcedto clo:e their doors. Iktinos's small groupof actIves could not attract nevv menlbers.One rush function had many al umni andAnthelnios actives participating, but offifteen people "vho said thev ""ould attendonly one did. ' ,

ChapterFinancially, the year has been good.

The mortgage had been revvritten, w'hichmade it possible to pay the back tax.es,and prevent any more penalty payments~1~he running of the house is going well.IIo\vever, only four actives are returningin the fall, and most of them 'express nointerest in living in the house. ftJso, thephysical condition of the house deterior­ated further because none of the majorrepairs so desperately needed could bedone for lack of funds. Faced "",ith thisundersirable prospect, the Building Asso­ciation voted to accept the latest offer topurchase the property. This sale will allowus to payoff our debts and have severalthousand dollars left to continue activitieson a positive basis,

The future direction of APX at Michi­gan is uncertain. With the A&D schooldefinitely moving in two years, studentinterests, activities and living patterns areunpredictable. The plans of the activechapter will be strongly influenced bythese potential patterns. A definite direc­tion for .l\PX alunlni interests is also un­certain. The Iktinos Building ~Association

Reginald F. Malcolmson, Dean of A&D\-vill resign in September 1974 after te~years in that position. He will remain onthe faculty and devote his time to teachingand research.

The Sol King Award for excellence inteaching has been a\varded this year toTivadar Balogh.

Greg Parston has received both theA.LA. and APX Medals.

Professors Theodore Larson and William~Iuschenheim have retired after manyyears of distinguished service.

An NSF grant has been awarded toProfessor A. Peters Oppermann and fivestudents to study energy conservation inbuildings by developing a system usingsolar power and wind for air conditioning.This was the only grant of its kind to beawarded to an architectut:e school.

Founders' DayFounders' Day was about a month late.Place: Campus Inn, East Huron and

State Street. Date: May 26, 1973. Time:3:00 p.m. Agenda: Details of propertysale. Stauts of Iktinos and Building Asso­ciation. Future goals and directions.

The twenty-plus year wait by the archi­tecture school at the U of M for a newbuilding is finally over. Constructionstarted this past September on the newCollege of Architecture and Design. Thebuilding, designed by S\vanson Associatesof Bloomfield Hills, is sited off the mainentry point of the University's NorthCampus. The State of Michigan is fund­ing the $8,464,000 proJect.

The building is organized of three two­story wings. One houses the Art Depart­ment. The second; administration offices,classrooms and the Architecture Depart­nlent. The third one consists of shops andresearch facilities. This 212,000 squarefoot building will pull together the Art,.Architecture and Urban Planning Depart­ments \vhich are now scattered in severalbuildings on canlpus. Exposed steel con­struction, concrete and cement block arethe major interior materials, which helpscreate the industrial, '\vorkshop atmospheredesired. Completion of the building inFall 1974 will signal a ne,v phase in archi­tectural education at Michigan.

Functional design is essential, but is in­sufficient in and of itself. The design ofa building must be striking, handsolue,imposing, Inemorable. It must be pre­dicted on the premise that architecture isart, and the art of a modern master.

Projected Activities for Summer of 1973June - During this month there are

several projects that we are going to tackle.First: During the summer months is whenorientation for freshman students is held,usually in the month of July and August.As a result, Cleisthenes Chapter has de­cided to undertake an interest in orienta­tion as this is where we hope to obtain ournew pledges for the small semester. Thereare several objectives that now hold inmind for doing these orientation periods.One is to set up a booth exhibit in theCollege of Architecture to expose ourselvesand the fraternity to the new student. Byso doing, we can generate their interestin us before they get hit with the first dayof classes and also to anSv\ler any questionsthey may have as to our aims and goals,and to answer any suestions as to the vari­0us classes they may have any problemswith scheduling their classes. Another ob­jective we, hold is to prepare and give aslide presentation as to what we under­stand Architecture to be to us as upper­classmen. We also show slides of campuslife, of our past activities in a fraternity,and last year's design class.

July - During this month we will giveour presentations to incoming first yeardesign students. We also plan to hold anafternoon of Bar-B-Q and swim party atthe apartment of our Deputy Wayne Bur­ford. During this month we also will belooking into the prospects of obtaining afraternity house of our own. One big proj­ect that we will do this month is to helpabout half of our active brothers movefrom one apartment to another.

August - During this month we willgive our last two presentations to the in­coming students. It is also intended thatduring this month we will hold a meetingat which pledging activities and plans forthe fall semester will be held. One of, ifnot the biggest events to be held thismonth, will be the marriage of one of ourmost active brothers, Gary Hill. The mar­riage of Gary and his bride to be, Sally,will be held on August 10. From Houstonthey will depart for Six Flags after a"brief" honeymoon or wedding night orwho knows what.

Ending Activities for Spring of 1973APX medal was awarded to David Ford

The Metagenes Alumni Association final­ly became an active reality in January ofthis year. Upon my return to Virginiafrom Houston, Texas, I started the ballrolling by sending out letters of intent fororganizing an alumni association. The re­sponse was more than encouraging and so,steps were taken to formally organize theassociation at the alumni meeting at thechapter house on Founders' Day. At thismeeting we approved our Constitution andBy-Laws, elected our officers, board ofdirectors and regional representatives andbelieve it or not, actually collected someassociation dues.

Although our history at present is short,we believe that we will have a very viableorganization once we grow in number. Sofar, we have published a alumni news­letter, had two fairly large alumni get­togethers and most important, started achannel for communication among ouralumni. At present, we have thirty officialalumni. It will be a few years before wegrow to the number needed to be a work­ing financial entity in terms of helpingout the chapter. However, we believe itis important to start now and begin struc­turing the association so that in the futureour efforts can become a positive accom­plishment.

Summitted by,Hunter C. Bristow

Alumni FundsAt the organizational meeting on Found­

ers' Day, we will approve a constitutionand by-laws for the association. In thiswill be the amount for annual dues in theassociation. You must remember that wemust have funds in order to do anything.The amount will be decided on by thosepresent. In order to receive alumni infor­mation and be a member of the associa­tion, you must pay your annual dues. Atpresent the alumni association has had aworki~g capital of $20, out of which thisnews letter's printing and mailing expenseshave come. You should also pay yourlifetime dues of $25 to National. Youprobably received notice from Nationalin January about this. If you need moreinformation, contact me. Notice of dueswill be sent out after Founders' Day.

Chapter ReportThis year, the chapter has 17 actives,

but unlike other years, there is almost

100% participation by all of the brothers.

After a very shakey start financially this

year, the frat has finally gotten back on

solid ground again. They are doing moresocially and professionally than in yearspast. The house has become the official

"hangout" for the girls' varsity basketballteam at least once a weekend. There have

been numerous uses of the house for de­sign crits for third and fourth year stu­dents.

Mark Major & Co. did silk screeningfor the EDRA Conference in the basementand as usual, the basement had the distinctodor of kerosene. As usual, the paintcolors in the house have changed again.That always seems to be a big thing to doeach year. The bar actually survived thesummer and is well into its second yearwithout being replaced. There have beentwo initiations this school year~ Each timewe initiated one Brannagan brother, Timand Dan. Each one was a 20 hour quickie.The next initiation will be on April 26 atwhich time four new brothers will beinitiated. If you can't make it to Founders'Day, come to initiation. Better yet, cometo both. Rich Vunch· is the new chapterW.A. for the coming year replacingCharlie Hildebrand who passed uy a sec­ond term in order to get his past W.A.gavel now. He told me that he wantedRich to have the pleasure of purchasingthe gavel and being liable for the chapters'actions. The house is already filled tocapacity for next year, so the chapter hasa good future to look forward to. Themain problem is getting new pledges inany substantial number. All of the fratson campus have the same problem so oursis not a unique situation. Weare stillmore concerned with quality than quan­tity however. The chapter dismissed onepledge out of a pledge class of two becausehe did not measure up. Hildebrand is plan­ning an unexposed film slide show some­time this spring. The show will feature hisgeneral thoughts on the subject. We hadone preview at one regular slide show andall indications point to the event being afarce. The chapter lost one brother toUncle Sam this year. Bill Chipps, one oflast year's new brothers got the bad newsin the fall. He becomes the first Meta­genes brother to go via the draft. If chap­ter news seems brief, its because a formalreport was not given to me and I had toliterally play-it-by-ear.

Founders' Day CelebrationApril 13, 14, and 15 was the time for

this chapter-alumni blowout. Besides party­ing, there was a meeting of all alums toset up the alumni association as a workingorganization.

EDRA ConferenceThe fourth international conference of

the environment design research associa­tion will be held at Tech April 15-18. Theconference " . . . will bring together aninternational community of researchers,professional practitioners and academiciansin the 'environmental design field and rel­evant disciplines, including social sciences,computer science and others." For reser­vations call (703) 951-5506. The registra­tion fees range from $20 to about $60 de­pending on the desired option in theregistration packages. Come to our Found­ers' Day fling and stay over for the con­ference. You now have a double reasonfor making this a worthwhile five dayevent. Craig Frazier has been chief assist­ant in organizing the EDRA events.

Alumni ReportsFirst, I would like to thank all of you

for your response to my letter concerningthe alumni association. For those of youwho did not reply, and there were onlya few, I would appreciate hearing fromyou. At present, I am your President andall questions concerning alumni activitiescan be directed to me. We will elect aboard of directors at our Founders' Daymeeting and distribute duties to those whohave erpressed a willingness to serve insome capacity.

The following reports are based oneither personal visits, phone calls or in­formation filled out on the form I sentout. Those not listed did not contact meor sent in only the ballot, and I have noway of telling what they are doing.

Joe Boggs got so much moonlight workthat he now works for himself until hegets out all the work. He and his wifeEldrie now live in Alexandra, Va. After6Y2 months in Houston, Texas, I returnedto Blacksburg to work in Roanoke andfinish up my masters degree, organize thealumni association" and work my butt off.Wayne Burford will finish his graduatework in Houston in June and is lookingaround for a place when he can become apartner in a couple of months. The chap­ter he started in Houston is doing gr'eatas of this report, altsough they incurreda great degree of difficulty during its firstyear. Like all new chapters, they are oneof the most enthusiastic of all the chap­ters. Dennis Cross has a townhouse inD.C. but hasn't sent me his new address,although he told me it would be in themail soon. Craig Frazier has been busyorganizing the EDRA conference withWolfe Prizer.

The 1972-73 school year has been oneof considerable act.ivity for 1-fnesiclesChapter. N e\<\f officers were electf'd in thefall and our ne\v group of pledges provedto be a very rnotivated group. Theirenthusiasm was infectious, spread to theactives, and "ve soon began developing avery high morale \vhich still persists, eventhis SUmlnf'r. Many activities \vere startedand strong contacts "vere madf' \vith theAlulnni.

'These contacts have now become astrong interaction between the Alumni andourselves. One area of special interest isthe remodeling of our chapter house, withthe .;\1 ulnni providing financial as we11 asmoral support. ,,\;Ve feel a cleaned up, re­painted and remodeled chapter houseshould be of great value when we startour rushing program.

Upon returning from the National Con­vention and with the start of \Vinter Quar­ter, the Greater lJpper Mid-\Vest plungedhead first into more famed season, that ofsnow and icy, cold temperatures. Planswere then made for our third a'nnual skitrip, which consisted of a weekend of ski­ing, ice skating and partying. The entireweekend was blessed with sunshine, mildtemperatures and truly great sno,"v con­ditions, thus nlaking it a smashing successand leaving all of us with grand illusionsof next year's trip.

Spring quarter meant the departure ofthree of our fellow actives, including ourWA and \VAA, for three months of studyin Europe. The Three left with forty otherArchitecture students for studies in Greece,Italy, Nor\<\'ay, France, and Germany. Theonly free European country not visited "vasPortugal,. however, some of the travelerswere able to visit Yugoslavia.

While our three travelers partied their,yay across Europe, the remaining n1em­bers rallied together and became active inthe IT of M Campus Carni, a carnival puton by the Greeks to raise Inoney for theGeneral Scholarship Fund. During our ef­fort the house reached a ne\'\' high inunity, learned more about the Greek Sys­tem and made a good showing by win­ning a first place trophy for the best gameevent entered. Over all, the Carni was ahuge success, with our 9,000 people attend­ing the t",·o day event.

Big Ten sports were follo\ved closelythis year at the house. We saw a continual

improvement in our Gopher football teamand followed our basketball team to thevery last and unfortunate season's end.The baseball team, after winning the BigTen title went on to the NCAA nationaltournament where they finished third inthe nation. vVatch-out in the coming years,for Gold Country athletics are beginningto corne on strong and will be capturinglnany Big Ten titles.

Intramural sports sa\v i\PJ active intouch football (missing a trophy by an1el'C ten yards), basketball, bowling.Spring Quarter saw us active in mens andco-ed softball leagues. Surrln1~r has provedto be more active than in years past \vithintran1ural softball still going on.

A, change in Alumni offices occurred inMarch and the previously mentioned sup­port is continuing to grow. This \\Till en­able us to present a more professionali!nage to prospective Inelnbers. \Ve aresending a series of letters to this yearsne'", students and with the help of ourAlumni ,"Yill hold some inforrnal gatheringsto introduce thern to our fraternity. Weare building upon this past years enthusi­asm and using that to establish our besteffort in years to dra",' in ne\v members.Those people that respond will be \vel­corned by a fresh spirit, a solid programand a newly remodeled chapter house.

VITRUVIUSAlumni

It's time to gear up for our second an­nual Homecon1ing \t\Tithout a Hon1e cele­bration, if that's the word one properlyuses to desiribe a homeless homecoming.In any event, we did it last year, and withsurprisingly good results, sooo ... we'regoing to try it again.

We have 22 alumni block tickets avail­able on a first-come, first-served basis forthe Penn State-Iowa football game Sept.29. For what it's \"'orth, the game shouldbe a good one based on last year's strugglewhen the Lions pulled it out in the finalthree minutes ... and both clubs appearstrong again this season.

rrickets are $7 each. Send checks toJ. D. Andrews,. Box 231, Centre Hall, Pa.16828. We will again gather after the gameat the Nittany Lion Inn on campus, thistime in the coffee shop. We plan to orderbuffet dinners, as \ve did last year, basedon some estimate of those planning to at­tend. Please drop me a card to that effect.

-12-

There is now a lounge at the Inn, andwe found it convenient last year to stepover there after our business meetin .There is no reason to think it will nohappen that way this year. The buffet willprobably cost in the $3.50-to-$4 range, 0

bring a few bucks to cover dinner anddrinks later. Let me know also if youneed overnight lodging. There are still afew alun1s in the State College area, m)­self included, and we'll try to "vork some­thing out for you in the way of accommo­dations.

I'll try to quickly bring you up to dateon fraternity affairs since the weary, drear1971-72 period in \<\'hich the active chap­ter disbanded. The last nev/sletter, Sept.20, 1972, and the two that preceded itspoke of the dozens upon dozens of taskundertaken by the Board of Directors anda sn1all group of other alulns to close downVitruvius Chapter and vacate the ChapterHcuse.

There followed more of the same untilby Oct. 21 (Homecoming 1972), nearlyall of the work was finally completed. Inthe simplest possible terms, it was a lousy,unpleasant job: one which to some degreeleft scars on all of us involved. Yet outof it came at least one positive result­an honorary m·embership in the alumniassocia tion for Jane Andrews. She haslong been a behind-the-scenes booster andworker for the fraternity, and her con­tributions were never more 'evident thanin those long hours spent last summer inthe dismantling of Vitruvius Chapter. Thefact that she is my wife gives me almostas much pride in her "sheepskin" as shehas.

The board also recognized the long serv­ice of another "friend" - Phyllis Delozier,the chapter's cook. A gift of $400 was pre­sented to her on behalf of the association.

As might be expected, much of the Oct.21 meeting was given over to discussion ofthe chapter's closing (Delta Phi Fraternityrented the physical plant last year and ap­pears willing to do so again this year) andthe finances, future and philosophy of thealumni group in light of the fact thatVitruvius Chapter no longer existed. Ad­ditionally, brothers Charlie Weaver ('69)and Bill Jones (' 71) were elected to serveon the board, joining incumbents Baxter,Hartman and Andrews.

From that meeting until now, the boardhas functioned primarily in the role ofcaretaker. President Baxter, with the assist­ance of our previous president, Chuck Snit­ger, has ensured that our physical plant isbeing as well maintained as possible, whileTreasurer Hartman keeps our financialship afloat (in this regard I call your at­tention to the enclosed dues form). Con­sidered against a backdrop of frustration,futility and hard work, their effort.s areto be commended.

Ed RhodesWorthy Grand ArchitectAlpha Rho ChiDear Mr. Rhodes:

Since your visit in April we have trulybeen inspired and we wish you constantsuccess in your office.

The past year has brought about manychanges, mostly among ourselves. We haverealized our true potential in serving notonly our own chapte..r but the entire schoolas well. Gone is the axiem "the studentsneed us" and in is "we exist solely forthe students, their participation, growthand enrichment in Architecture or an al­lied field". We have had successes inreaching out to the student body in thepast but we strive now to let everyoneknow that we are a necessary part in theireducation. In the upcoming year we shallbe striving for l' closer communication

1;;11 XENOCLESTexas - Arlington

between chapters and national, 2) rede­signing of our chapter house, 3) newerdirections.

In order to cope better with problemswhich face this chapter and I'm sure oth­ers as well there has to be constant com­munication. The thing which makes mehappy concerning this is the monthly re­port which notifies the chapters and Na­tional of each of our (chapters) progressand calendar events.

I only have to say that I wish this sortof thing would keep up but on a moreconstant basis to which not only Nationalwould learn of our activities but our fel­low chapters as well.

Finally having settled in a smaller house,we now have begun tackling the problemof redesigning our entire house. Spurredby a trip up north early this year, com­plete plans have been drawn up and ap­proved by the chapter and we are 50%completed. Upon completion, we shallformally issue an invitation for all to visit.

Finally maturing as a chapter of AlphaRho Chi we feel confident' now in takingsteps in branching out into different areas

of the Architecture Department and tobecome more involved in school affairs.This upcoming school year, we, of courseplan a big rush, are going to hold a Photocontest, a design competition, a graphicscompetition, luncheons, picnics and a tink­er toy design contest. These are most ofour projected projects and we hope fortheir success and the furthering of th~

name of Alpha Rho Chi.Closing this letter is truly the hardest

thing to do, for we would like to con­tinue telling you how proud we are to bemembers of this fraternity, but we allknow the pride each of us carries in beingmembers of this organization.

Hovv to Get ArchitecturalCommissions

by H. Samuel Kruse, FAIA

Anthemios - 1933

The Iife and death strugg Ie of the smalloffice practioner (SOP) is contingenton the flow of projects through theiroffices which, in turn, is the key to cashflow and the time-money combinationneeded for the development of greaterskills and capacities to produce rele­vant architecture. In spite of the im­portance of the flow of projects, fewSOP's have deliberate courses ofaction to assure the continuous flowof commissions.

Don't sell what you can't deliver.Know your product. This assumes, ofcourse, that you have something tosell. No client ever gives a commissionbecause the architect needs a com­mission. Rather, the opposite is thecase, the client needs the architect'sskills and capacity to do ·work. It isnecessary to assume that the SOP hassome professional skills, fhat he hasa place and capacity to perform serv­ice, and that he has the ~esources orcapital to sustain his firm for at leasta year. It is also necessary to assumethat the geographic area served by theSOP will actually require his services.With these assumptions of capability,means and hope, the task of gettingcommissions for a new, non-estab­lished SOP involves answering thequestion: How does an unknown ar­chitect- become known as deservingof trust and professional aptitude inan alien community. For the estab­lished firm similarly: How does a knownarchitect remain known and deservingof trust and confidence by the com­munity?

There is considerable difference be­tween the effort required by the estab­lished firm to acquire a reasonableflow of architectural commissionsfrom that required of a new firm havingno prior experience to show and whoseprincipals are strangers to the com­munity and to the people who com­mission architects. Many old firmsmaintain a flow of work by just serxinga few old clients well, hoping that the

clients remain healthy and are notenticed away by some pink-cheekedglamour boy. But most SOP's, old andnew, can benefit from an active pro­gram of job getting.

Rarely does one receive something fornothing. To gain anything of value,the pot in poker or a fine, young wife,one must make an investment. Theeffort to attain commissions will alsotake an investment, easily 1°/0 to 3°1o ofanticipated annual income. The lessthe annual income the more the effort;a phenomenon little understood bypractitioners. The old saw, successbreeds success, is applicable here.It's the busy firm that attracts morework; the slow one remains slow, fre­quently not by choice. The cost, ofcourse, includes the man-hours spentby the SOP as well as others andthings. It's the efficient and intelligentuse of time and things that determinesthe cost-effectiveness of the program.

There are at least nine ways for pro­moting new work and these are dis­cussed. below in sequence of probablesuccess, taking into account thelimited resources of a new, non-estab­lished firm.

1. DEVELOP A FIRST RATE OFFICEBROCHURE. This brochure shouldbe professionally designed and writ­ten and should be in a format that canbe tailored to the potential clients'interest and be kept current. Althoughmany governmental agencies requirestatistical reports on standard forms,the brochure is still the ideal envelopefor transmittal of such a form and fre­quently is filed with the report form.This is especially. true for firms, suchas new firms with no history ,to (eport,in which case the brochure shoulddemonstrate individual talents andprojects-not-yet-executed. The bro­chure is sent to those who request itor are long-term prospective clients,such as school boards, oil companies,chain store firms and governmental

agencies. Brochures should empha­size the unique characteristics andservices of the firm; to be just like allother architects is to invite them allto be your competitor on every pro­ject. For example, if you use computerservices, say so; the prospective clientwill find this a distinctive characteristicapart from those who don't. Sorneclient will prefer an architect who usesthe computer to increase reliable ca­pacity to do work, and he will get thecommission. The brochure must befactual, without wordy expositions ofdesign philosophy or personal ag­grandizement.

2. ESTABLISH RAPPORT. WITHCOMMUNITY RESOURCES. Startwith mortgage bankers and real estateoperators for beginners. Start by pay­ing visits for the purpose of tradinginformation about mutual interests.Learn the bankers' requirements andforms for loan appl ications, determinewhat real estate operators have to selland what kind of referrals they ap­preciate. The SOP, of course, leaveshis card at each visit and eventuallyhis brochure. Other design profes­sionals, engineer~, landscape archi­tects, interior designers, and eventual­ly other arChitects, should be includedand a rapport 'established. The SOP'soffice employees are also a resource;he should establish a finder's fee foremployees who bring work to the firm.

3. COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES SHOULDBE UNDERTAKEN. It is best to dothose thi ngs one can do best. If thefamily can participate, then the chanceof 24· hours a day, seven days a weekavailability is a terrific advantage overthe competitor who has to reservetime for the family. Whatever is donemust be done exceptionally well orthe desired impact will be lost. Allsocieties are hard pressed for pro­grams. If the SOP has an interesting,illustrated talk. twenty minutes long,he could have a speaking engagementevery week of the year. If it is a popular

talk with colored slides, it could be re­ported in the newspapers every timeit is given, and people will spread theword about the wonderful talk by so­and-so architects. If the talk is als6related to the activities of the firm'spractice, then the value is manifold.In all activities, boat racing, churchwork, fund raising, 'whatever, he mustbe sure to be identified as a practicingarchitect as well as a good boat racer,church worker, etc. A few preparedtalks with colored slides are as neces­sary to the SOP as a drawing board,but they must be used (the talks anddrawing board) to be effective. TheSOP must be an advocate for goodarchitectu're and speak out for valuesthat he, by virtue of being an architect,can see better than others. He mustavoid being trapped into giving solu­tions.

4. DEMONSTRATE ABILITY ANDPUBLIC CONCERN BY DEVELOPINGA CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. If the com­munity needs low cost housing, ·theSOP should develop one and get itbuilt for others, if possible; if not, forhimself. He can propose new uses forold or vacant buildings, etc. showingindividuals, firms (the community)how its derelicts can be changed toassets for all. .

5. THE SOP CAN INTRODUCE HIM­SELF BY MAIL TO THOSE IN THECOMMUNITY WHO USE OR MIGHTNEED ARCHITECTS. He must care­fUlly develop his mailing list and clas­sify the n~mes according to the typesof appeal and project associated withthe name. Names can be found in asystematic search in newspapers,building journals, real estate newsletters, etc. The search and recordkeeping must be done in a controlledand methodical manner and the letterssent must be soft-sell, non-commercialto be effective. He shouldn't send abrochure blindly. However, he mustbe prepared to reply promptly, sendinga brochure, if requested. The formletter approach must be avoided, using

only the personalized approach whichcan, of course, follow a previouslyprepared prototype.

6. HAVE A PREPARED PRESENTA­TION, VISUAL AND VERBAL, TAI­LORED to the potential client's interestwhen invited to appear before a po­tential client, whether an individual,a committee or board.

7. OBTAIN PUBLIC EXPOSURE FORWORK DONE OR PROPOSED. If theSOP learns the form for submittal ofmaterial to newspapers and otherperiodicals and submits story andphotographs of his projects accord­ingly, his material will be used. Fre­quently adhering to the form decidesthe inclusion of an article or photo­graph in the press rather than the truenewsworthiness or architectural valueof the project. The SOP should order"tear sheets" of his publications foradditional exposure through mailingsand inclusion in brochures. .

8. SATISFY THE CLIENT AS IF HEWERE THE SOP'S ONLY CLIENT.Most architect's work comes from re­ferrals from satisfied clients and repeatservice for previous clients. The SOPmust cherish his client and serve himin such a way that once a client, alwaysa client.

9. THE SOP MUST BE A LIVINGIMAGE OF HIS FIRM'S PHILOSOPHY.The firm must practice what it preachesif its philosophy is to have validity inthe client's eyes. If the firm espousesbeauty and functional efficiency, hispersonnel, his office, perhaps hishome, everything the client sees aboutthe fir.n should be the essence ofbeauty and functional efficiency.

The practice of architecture is a prag­matic art, for its product, architecture,is not architecture until it is built. At­taining commissions is no less a prag­matic art and essential to producingarchitecture. It can be fun too!
