du quarterly: volume 113, no. 3

President's Report

I t was no ordinary quarterly meetinglast April, when members of yourDU Board of Directors and Head

quarters staff convened in Boston. Thosewho assembled for this gathering werefocused on crafting the future vitality,growth, and success of our Fraternity.

The Board's objective was ambitious. The meeting's participantshowever, were qualified to tackle thetask and represented virtually everyconstituency critical to DU's existence.Each brought an unique, capable, andcommitted perspective.

Billed as a strategic planningsession, the meeting was better likenedto one of those grueling, all-day chapterretreats at the beginning of a new year,during which brothers debate and "bluesky" the chapter's future. Candor andconsensus punctuated the Board 'sdeliberations as we began to focus onhallmarks of DU's role as a 21st centuryfraternity.

The key facilitator for the sessionwas Lynn Luckow, North Dakota '71, agiant in the educational publishingarena. Against the backdrop of DU'sFour Founding Principles and itspurpose, "to establish and promoteundergraduate chapters to enhance thedevelopment and education of undergraduate members, " we contemplatedthe needs of our undergraduate members. No simple task, given DU's diversemake-up. With change occurring at amind-boggling pace, our observations ofthe vital needs of today's brothers oncampus are summarized in the followingcomponents.• The Development ofa Brotherhood -- abonding of men, striving for a commoninterest in an encouraging and respectfulenvironment.• The Formation ofa Clear Set ofVallies-- a principle-centered life enabling aman to grow spiritually, intellectually,and culturally.• The Maturation ofLeadership Ability-- develop the essential elements ofeffective and ethical leadership.• The Growth ofLifetime Skills -- the lifeskills needed to succeed in a world ofrapid and chaotic change.

Discussion then shifted to identify -

ing those qualities inherent to successfulorganizations, including organizationalstructure, leadership, and focus. Theconclusions at which we arrived arefundamental to any organization. In thecontext ofDU, to be responsive andrelevant in the 21st century, we must:

• Be client-centered - our core focusmust be undergraduates and alumni.

• Cultivate aggressively innovativeleadership through identification ofeffective and visionary alumni volunteers, chapter members, and professionalstaff.

• Possess a clear mission - communicated among all chapters.

• Have an effective developmentand delivery system for a product-linethat is valued by our brothers (clients).

• Actively replenish our membership to ensure the survival and expandthe reach of our Fraternity.

These characteristics are vital ifDelta Upsilon is to exist as a relevantand necessary element in the lives of ourcurrent and future members.

Our brothers are our clients, and assuch expect service in return for theirinvestment. Like so many other segments of society, Delta Upsilon mustalso provide valued products andsensitive service. Thus, our mission,vision, and goals must have a laser focuson the Fraternity's most importantassets: undergraduate and alumni.

At the 1995 Leadership Institute,we will introduce a Vision of DeltaUpsilon for the future. It will beconsistent with the purpose and principles on which we were founded, andwill serve to re-invest the Fraternity'sessential product-line and deliverysystems, and create a stronger clientservice relationship with DU brothers ofall ages. Furthermore, this vision willempower our leadership to serve itsbrothers with zeal and efficiency. Welook forward to your involvement as weBuild the 21st Century Fraternity.

Letters to the Editor . the Quarterly, working to make it amore relevant and vital medium forcommunication and expression in thelives of our readers .

Mission Statement

Delta UpsilonQuarterly magazine

The worldwide circulationof your magazine serves50,000 alumni; 4,000undergraduate brothers and theirparents, and nearly 100university greek advisors anddeans on campuses with DUchapters and coloniesthroughout North America.

Four times each year, weseek to enlighten and educate through themes thatappeal to the commoninterests of our readers;provide feature profiles andfactual, newsworthy accounts of events and accomplishments in the lives ofalumni and undergraduatemembers; and engage andinform our constituency,through content that remembers the past , illustrates thepresent, and anticipates thefuture challenges faced byfraternities.

Finally, our magazineendeavors to promote theva lue of fraternity membership in Delta Upsilon, mainta ining an unyielding commitment to the principlesupon which our brotherhoodwas founded:

• ThePromotion ofFriendship

• TheDevelopment ofCharacter

• The Diffusion ofLiberalCulture

• TheAdvancement ofJustice.


From the Editor: ..The last thing this world needs, is

another Mission Statement.Yet in the past 15 years or so of my

involvement in DU, I cannot recallwhen the Quarterly has endeavored todocument its purpose for all to see. Incontinuous publication since 1882, themagazine is truly an institution withinour brotherhood. Accordingly, I realizethat to some, it could appear not a littlefatuous to print a Mission Statement atthis stage of the journal's evolution.

Indulge us, then, as the teamentrusted to assemb le the magazine fourtimes a year, to have a document thatwill serve us as both a compass and aconscience for the Quarterly's contentin the days ahead.

We want each issue to carry atheme of some value in relevance inyour life today. If you engage in anyoutdoor pastimes or athletic activi ty inthe summer, this issue is filled withoutstanding medical advice andperspective that comes to your homefree-of-charge. Who said physicians nolonger make house-calls?

The new DU Headquarters staff isintroduced on pages 26-27, and Ibelieve you'll be impressed with theoutstanding team that's been assembledto serve our chapters in the 1995-96academic year. Also new to this issue, isa column by Brother Robert P. Clark,Marietta '66. We plan to featureBrother Clark's viewpoint with a pageeach quarter, as he provides alumni andundergraduate brothers with someintellectual ammunition for use againstthose who would erase fraternity lifefrom the landscape of our campuses.His perspective and remarks are notintended to be inflammatory, though Ianticipa te sparks flying in response tosome of his assertions . We invite thedebate and thoughtful dialogue in thebest tradition of our 1834 founders .

October's issue will featurebrothers' reminiscences of World WarII, as we commemorate the 50thanniversary ofV.E. and V.I. days. It willbe the first issue to exceed 32 pages inthe past 25 years, and will serve tomaintain our commitment to improve

To the Editor..,Every issue of the magazine yields

an eclect ic batch of response mail,which is a tribute to the diverse interestsand viewpoints that our Fraternity hasembraced since its inception. In ourrecent history, "Letters to the Editor"have been unsolicited and have therefore gone largely unpublished. Wewould like to change all of that startingin the next issue which will be published in October.

Our Mission Statement mandatesthat this magazine be of service to youas it promotes our Fraternity. We shalldepend on you, therefore, to communicate our success in achieving themagazine 's mission - in all futureissues, this space will be yours as a pageto provide your thoughts on what youhave read in the Quarterly.

Recently, we have been taken totask by readers for featuring the AIDSMemoria l Quilt (October 1994 cover);for attempting to cut publication costsby asking for uninterested brothers tovolunteer their removal from themagazine's mailing list (wrap-aroundcover, October 1992); and for supporting the right of all DU chapters toremain single-sex (April 1995).

Conversely, people have written toexpress enjoyment and interest infeatures on reforming elementaryeducation (April 1995); how to navigatethrough a job search and other careeradvice viewpoint (April 1994); andrecollections of a brother's experiencein the Vietnam War, where he served asa surgeon (October 1993).

In order for the Quarterly to trulyserve your needs, you must have a stakeand a share in helping craft its directionfor the future. Please address allcorrespondence on the magazine to meat: Delta Upsilon Headquarters, P. O.Box 68942, Indianapolis, IN 46268 .

I look forward to hearing from you.

Your Aching Back:a doctor's guide to relief

STAYIN THEGAMEHow to conquerinjuries from thelinks to the rinks

I n the Western world, epidemiological studiesreveal that back pain afflicts a staggering 60to 80 percent of the population. Out of every

10 people under 45 who have chronic medicalconditions limiting their activities, four are backand spine pain victims. Backache takes a backseat only to headache as the most commonmedical complaint, and is second only to thecommon cold as a reason for missed work.

Who's at risk?

Back pain patients tend to be between 30and 55 years old. Why? Very simply, the discsbetween the vertebrae of your lower back changein the normal course of aging. The young disc iselastic and full of fluid, but starting at about age30, it gradually becomes dry or scarred and itsmechanics change, making it more likely tofragment, move out of place, or cause pain.

Actually, back-pain risk decreases for menafter age 50, but this is not so for women. This isbecause the problem of osteoporosis (a loss ofbone density that weakens the vertebrae andsometimes causes them to collapse) begins tooccur in women and causes backache.

Epidemiological studies suggest that malesare slightly more prone to herniated discs (this isa situation in which a part of the disc moves outfrom its normal position between the vertebralbodies, causing severe back and/or leg pain) andmore likely to undergo surgery than females withproblems of equal severity. Perhaps the differences in occupation, athletics, and amount ofdriving, rather than genetics, account for themale 's greater weakness. Or perhaps men simplytolerate pain badly and are thus more afflictedand therefore more likely to end up with the mostrigorous treatment.

There is also a type of arthritis of the lumbarspine (low back) associated with an abnormalforward displacement of the vertebra (degenerative spondylolisthesis), which is four times morecommon in women than in men. Sorry folks, butthe reason for this remains to be discovered.

One kind of back problem, invertebra I discdisease seems to run in families. Ditto forslipped vertebrae, the almost unpronounceablename of which is spondylolisthesis (SPON-dillow-la-THEE-sis). A few racial differences show

byDr.Augustus White, IIIBrown '57

In theWesternworld,back painafflicts astaggering60 to 80percent ofthepopulation.


up here. American whites, for example , are moreprone to spondylolisthesis than American blacks- and Eskimos have about a 10 times greatertendency to develop the disease than whites. Thebasis of this seems to be an anatomic differencein the lower part of the lumbar spine.

There is evidence that herniated discproblems "run in families." There may be ahereditary predisposition in the chemical makeupof the disc that makes it more likely to fragmentand move out of its normal anatomic positionand cause nerve irritation.

There isevidencethatherniateddiscproblems"run infamilies."

STAYIN THEGAME

Your Occupation

You can't do very much about your sex, age,or race, but you can change your job , or some ofits tasks, when necessary - which is fortunate,since your job may affect your back more thananything else.

People who spend at least half of their jobtime driving a motor vehicle are three times morelikely than the average worker to suffer aherniated disc. A key issue here is that of roadvibrations. Most vehicles vibrate in a range of4.5 to 5.0 Hz (cycles per second) . The firstresonant frequency (that frequency likely tocause perturbation or damage) of our spines is inthe same range.

It takes about five years for sedentaryoccupations or damaging leisure pursuits to dotheir evil work on your back. Weekend sitting,for example, has been linked to herniated discdisease in males, a fact that football widows mayfind useful ammunition. Obviously, most officejobs fall into the sedentary category - sosecretaries, accountants, lawyers, academicians,computer programmers, and middle managersalike would do well to change position, stand,walk to appointments, and relax from time totime.

On the basis of my experience, I'd also haveto put firemen, policemen, and emergencymedical technicians, who must perform extensivelifting quickly and without proper positioning, inthe high-risk class .

"For heaven's sake, stand up straight, oryou'll get a bad back!" your parents may haveinnocently instructed you. Well, parental dogmanotwithstanding, most studies maintain there isno real connection between voluntary postureand back pain. As for body build, most studiessupport the contention that there's no strongcorrelation between height, weight, body build,and backach e. Yet, all researchers can't agree allof the time: a few studies have shown a tendencyfor tall and obese people to develop backache.

How to avoid and relieve backache in sports and dance.

There's no end to the variety of sportsinjuries . There are acute, specific injuries likefractures, and cumulative injuries, resulting fromrepeated damage . There are self-inflicted injuriesand those inflicted by competitors. By the way,one of the least health preserving sports, boxing,more or less spares the back.

How does your favorite sport treat yourback? What are its specific dangers? Is thereanything you can do to protect your spine andkeep on playing? Here I'll try to answer all yourquestions, sometimes with the support ofepidemiological studies, sometimes from myclinical experience .

Sport related backinjury risk levels

SPORT RISK LEVEL

Baseball

For starters , you have a straightforwardtwisting motion (axial rotation) as you swing thebat, and your contracting muscles exert largeforces to accelerate the twist. Then the twist muststop at some point, whether or not you've madecontact with the ball. And this sudden stopapplies pressure to both the disc and the spine 'sfacet joints.

What can you do for your back if you're abaseball aficionado? First, concentrate ondeveloping a smooth , even swing. Come out of itby decelerating gradually and twisting your hipsand knees to absorb some of the twist. Don't usea bat that's too heavy for you. If you pitch,smooth out your technique, avoiding extremearching .

10 DELTAUPSILONQUARTERLY/JULY 1995

Basketball

How can you write about sports and notmention the big round ball? Well, simply put,basketball players get backache, but the sportseems not to be one that particularly puts theback at risk.

Bowling

The twisting motion in bowling is similar tobatting in baseball. The bowler's shoulders andupper torso twist in one direction, while his/herhips and legs twist the opposite way. You canprotect your back by developing a good technique. Try for a smooth accelerated delivery andavoid releasing the ball late, which transmitsheavy stress to the spine and results in injury orexcessive wear. Don't use too heavy a ball or onethat doesn't fit your fingers . The latter can causea jerky delivery, a delayed release, and a soreback.

Cycling

This sport is generally not devastating to theback-pain-prone athlete . In fact, it's a goodoption for the jogger. It provides the leg exercise,the cardiopulmonary stimulation, and the changeof scenery of jogging, but without the repeatedimpact-loading.

Football

I enjoy and respect football, but I believeyou ought to know its dangers. Football playersengage in frequent heavy lifting in less than idealergonomic circumstances. Linemen are especially burdened, both in games and in practice.Blocking and tackling are usually done with theback in a position of 5 degrees or more of flexion(bending forward). Weights being lifted are the200 to 300-pound bodies of competing linemen.The lift is usually performed with an extendedspine, using the back and leg muscles , whichplaces forces several times body weight on thelumbar spine.

The result? Severe damage to the back partof the vertebrae, for instance. Spondylolisthesisruns four times higher in football players thanthe general population. It's probably the numberone cause of severe, persistent backache in theactive teenage football lineman.

Quarterbacks, running backs, and passreceivers are vulnerable to a semipassive twistinginjury. It occurs when the upper part of the torso

is being twisted in one or more directions bytacklers while the lower torso is being held fastor twisted in the opposition direction by othertacklers . The resulting twist injures the spine .

What precautions can you take? Get in thebest shape possible, not neglecting a goodweight-lifting program . Then develop blockingand tackling techniques that respect your back alittle . This is easier said than done, I know. If youhave persistent severe lower backache for 14days with no improvement, have it checked forspondylosis or spondylolisthesis, either of whichshould be treated before it gets worse.Spondylosis is the result of two defects (cracks)in the back part of the vertebra.

When you have a sore back, remember thatyou may be awkward, weak, and prone to a moresevere injury if you insist on playing . Sometimesyour doctor may let you resume playing in anappropriately prescribed brace.

Golf

Those who 've been around golf much at allknow that back pain goes with the turf. Thetwisting motion accompanying the drive is thedangerous part of golf, as it can damage theintervertebral discs and the facet (intervertebral)joints.

I had occasion to meet an avid golfer whofor 20 years after a disc removal and spinalfusion had done very well, playing golf regularly.Then one day he completed a long driving swingwith a number two club and fell to the groundwith excruciating back and leg pain. At thehospital, a myelogram revealed a large discextruding just above the fused area of his spine.He had immediate surgical removal of the disc .After his recovery, he was advised to stay awayfrom the green .

What had probably happened was that hisvery efficient twisting swing was accentuated bythe stable fusion beneath his normal disc. Overthe years, the efficient, progressive wear and tearon the disc adjacent to the fusion had damaged it.The final swing was enough to cause discherniation and the golfer's drastic symptoms.

This case is unusual, but if you do have backtrouble , you should know that golf may exposeyou to further difficulties. To pamper your back,develop a swing that minimizes the twistingmotion and any back discomfort. A good procould no doubt guide you better, but I think yourswing might involve more hip rotation and kneemotion. This would stress your back less withoutintroducing too many potential variations in yourswing . Gradual warm-ups are also helpful.

Thosewho'vebeenaroundgolf knowthat backpain goeswith theturf.

Finally, [if you're suffering from backtrouble] and you use spiked golf shoes, switch tonon-spiked shoes or tennis shoes, either of whichwill help reduce the impact at the end of theswing.

Joggersoftenevince anenthusiasmborderingon thefanatical

STAYIN THEGAME

Jogging

Working with these athletes, one rarelyencounters indifference. Joggers, in particular,often evince an enthusiasm bordering on thefanatical- which is great, in my opinion, sincethere's already too much subtlety in life.

However, vertical impact-loading, or thebump-bump-bump as the road's vibrations aretransmitted to your spine, can damage the discsand other structures. Fortunately, there's quite alot you can do about it. The magnitude of thebump-bump-bump depends on your weight, yourconditioning, your fatigue or lack of it, thesmoothness of your stride, and the ability of yourleg and other muscles as well as the hip andsacroiliac joints to dampen the impact. Yourshoes and the surfaces you run on also count.

Hundreds of pages have been written aboutrunning shoes. In brief, a good running shoeshould (1) comply to the foot's contour; (2) bemade of material in the heel and sole that willabsorb energy; and (3) allow the foot to breathe.It doesn't necessarily follow that the mostexpensive shoe is the best.

Sailing

Yes, there is risk here too. When you musthook your feet under a stable structure of theboat, extending your torso well over the gunnelfor balance, you certainly risk irritating anunderlying back problem. The reason is the samereason you should avoid sit-ups with kneesstraight and the feet hooked under the bed. Inboth circumstances considerable stress is exertedon the iliopsoas muscle and therefore on thelumbar spine to which it attaches. This may trulycause your back to ache.

Skiing

The main bogey here is the mogul thatappears out of nowhere, or the jump in whichyou don't land just right. Other stresses are theparallel skier's repeated twisting and the chronicback strain endured by downhill and crosscountry skiers as they hold their torsos in aslightly flexed position. I suggest that if you're askier with a back problem, avoid twisting yourshoulders in the opposite direction in which

you're twisting your hips. Keep them as parallelas possible to avoid torque on your lower back.

Another suggestion: if you ski and want tospare your back, develop your quadricepsmuscles (so named for their "four heads"), theones running from your hips to your knees infront. They're critical shock absorbers, balancers,and controllers of the skiing body. Whenstrengthened, they can take up much of theenergy that might otherwise jolt the spine.

"When can I go back to the slopes?" is thequestion I most often hear from dedicated skiers.A quick, accurate, unfacetious answer is, whenyou can make love without back pain, and whenyou've done some basic back and quadricepsexercises.

Tennis

Two parts of tennis can cause backache,these are the serve and the backhand. Someserving styles load the lower back as you extendyour back and uncoil your arm and racket to hitthe ball. If you have back trouble and you'reusing an Australian-style or American-twistserve, try changing your serve so as to eliminatethe hyperextension. If back pain occurs onlyoccasionally with your serve, do some exercisesto strengthen your back and abdominal musclesand stabilize your spine.

What should you do about your backhand,which is many players' most vulnerable pointanyway? Ask a pro to teach you the best technique and hope it will let you carry out the strokein a more relaxed way, minimizing the torsionalforces.

Weight Lifting

[Depending on the lift you are doing,working with weights] exerts immense stress onthe lumbar spine. Evidence of spondylolysis runsas high as 40 percent among young Japaneseweight lifters.

The first back-saving suggestion is to masteryour technique and train appropriately. Avoidjerky movements in lifting weights from thefloor. Other no-no's are movements in which thespine must go from a flexed to an erect orhyperextended position. And there's an excellenttheoretical and experiential basis for the use ofbelts in both practice and competition. Byincreasing intra-abdominal and thoracic pressure,belts contribute to stiffening and unweighting thespine, which diminishes the strains on it.

See BACKpage 16


SETtingYourself UpFor Success,,H ow many sets should I do?" was

one of the most commonly askedquestions I received as a fitness

instructor. Included with this question werestories of giant sets, super sets, pyramids, 4-hourworkouts, and people who lifted weights everysingle day. One guy even told me that he did 15sets on the Seated Rowing machine, and his lastname was not Schwarzennegger. The answer Igive everyone is based on a number of currentstudies and recent breakthroughs in fitnessresearch, and many are surprised to hear theanswer is "one."

Like everything else in life, however, there isa catch. There is nothing magical about thenumber one, and this is not necessarily a less-is more argument. Rather, it is the conclusion thatmany fitness professionals have come to afterapplying facts about human physiology to muchresearch and testing .

The amount of time you spend in the weightroom and the number of sets and reps you do arenot the essential ingredients for increased musclesize and strength. Instead, what is important isthe intensity you put into each exercise . Theharder you train, the better your muscles willrespond to the resistance they are being forced towork against. This response results in increasesin muscular size and strength.

High intensity is not derived from doing theextra set, or taking an extra half hour to do somemore biceps and abdominal work. It is achievedby perform ing sets to momentary muscularfatigue, or "failure." For instance , when a persondoes a shoulder press, over the course of a set,muscle fibers are being fatigued in the shoulders(deltoids). If that person stops a set beforefailure, he or she has: 1) not fatigued as manymuscle fibers as he or she possibly could have,and 2) in doing another set, many of those fiberswill have already partially recovered, and beused again, rather than new fibers being recruited. This not only lessens that amount ofmuscle fibers in a muscle that are targeted, butalso slightly diminishes the benefits of the firstset.

Once a muscle fiber is fatigued, it needs

about 48 hours to fully recover and completelyreap the benefits of a workout. That 's why noone should exercise the same muscle groups onconsecutive days; muscles haven't had theneeded time to benefit fully from the previousworkout. After exercising to failure and fatiguinga muscle as much as one possibly can, STOP!That's it for that exercise. Let your body recover.

Now the question to answer is how manyrepetitions make up this set? Three? Ten?Twenty-five? The response to this question issomewhat involved .

Most people tend to perform each repetitionrather quickly, then let gravity bring the weightback down. Not only is this technique dangerousin terms of the explosive strain that it puts onjoints, but the rebounding momentum decreasesthe beneficial effect to those who use thismethod . The muscles are not being made to workas hard as they can.

Currently, athletic trainers recommendlifting while counting to two, pausing momentarily, lowering the weight while counting tofour, pausing again, and repeating. We'll call the

technique a "2&4-count"repetition . At no timeshould the weights beinglifted touch those on thestack nor should anyweight rest on your body.There should be tension onthe muscle in both thelifting and loweringdirections.

This returns us to thesubject of intensity. Research has shown thatmost people can sustain working out with 2&4count repetitions for about 50 to 70 secondsbefore their intensity drops and they begin to fail.If, over this time period, each repetition lasts sixseconds, about 8 to 12 repetitions will beperformed. This is the range of repetitions that isrecommended by athletic trainers today.

The trick, therefore , is to find a weight foreach exercise that causes you to fail somewherewithin that range. 75% of the amount of weightyou can do one time is probably a good place tostart. If eight repetitions are too difficult , lowerthe weight slightly. Conversely, if 12 are tooeasy, increase weight.

So, that 's the plan. Complete one set of liftsto failure , between 8 to 12 repetitions, at a twocount lifting and a four count lowering. You willfind this method to be just as challenging asworking with multiple sets . Routines usually

When the Heat is On

Thespectrumof heatrelatedsyndromesvariesfrom heatcramps toheatstroke.

STAYIN THEGAME

ProtectYourselfSummer has arrived and the heat is on. As

temperatures climb and the humidityreaches the "sauna stage," the potential for

heat related medical problems soar. Each yearhundreds of people suffer the consequences ofpoor planning when it comes to being preparedfor heat and humidity.

Humans regulate heat by several mechanisms, but the effects of sweating are the mostimportant. When a person sweats, water evaporates from the skin allowing heat to dissipate.High levels of ambient humidity interfere withsweat evaporation and effective cooling, thereforeincreasing the likelihood of heat problems.

Heat cramps are the most common and leastserious of the heat related syndromes, and evenindividuals that are in good physical conditionmay develop muscle spasms after heavy exertion.Because the extremities bear the brunt of physicalexertion, spasms are most commonly seen in thelegs and arms. Excessive sweating is the cause ofthis condition, and treatment consists of replacingthe excessive sweat loss with salt and water.

Heat exhaustion is amore serious phenomenonresulting from overexposure to heat. Elderlyindividuals, alcoholics,those on water pills, andthose with chronic medicalillnesses are at particularrisk of developing heatexhaustion, although it canoccur in physically activepeople. Heat exhaustion presents with weakness,dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, andfaintness , which if unchecked, leads to collapse.Often the onset is sudden, but the loss of consciousness is brief. Treatment consists of layingthe person flat and moving him to a cool area.Maintenance of fluid and salt balance duringexercise may help to prevent the condition.Spontaneous recovery usually takes place, but getthe person to medical care for evaluation.

Exertion heat injury occurs in individualsexercising in hot ambient temperatures (80degrees F) often when the relative humidity ishigh. Predisposing factors include obesity, age,and previous heat stroke. Runners that are poorlyconditioned, poorly acclimated to heat, and are

inadequately hydrated are also at risk. Symptomsconsist of headache, piloerection (gooseflesh),chills, hyperventilation, nausea , cramps, unsteadygait and incoherent speech. Occasionally compli cations , including kidney failure, can be severe ,but prompt treatment can prevent serious problems. The person should immediately be cooled,preferably between cool sheets , with arrangements made for urgent transportation to theemergency room.

Heat stroke is a potential life threateningevent, and is the most serious heat relatedcondition. It is most common in the elderly thathave underlying medical conditions, but diabetes,alcoholism, certain medical usage, and severeskin conditions may also predispose to heatstroke. It is also recognized that military recruitsand long distance runners may also becomeafflicted .

As noted in heat exhaustion and exertionalheat injury, dizziness , headache, faintness andconfusion may precede loss of consciousness,however in heat stroke sweating often ceases andthe temperature of the body rises to high levels .Shock, kidney failure, liver damage, heartdamage, and finally death are common in heatstroke.

Heroic measures are required to limit thesevere complications of heat stroke, Most of theperson's clothing should be removed and then theperson placed in a cool well-ventilated place.While calling emergency personnel, cold wettowels are placed with a fan blowing on theperson to help dissipate heat. Delay in treatmentmay lead to death.

The spectrum of heat related syndromesvaries from as benign as heat cramps to a seriouslife threatening process as heat stroke. Protectyourself with a few common sense practices .

1) Limit outdoor activities during the hottesttime of the day, usually between 10 am and 3 pm.

2) Keep well hydrated by drinking water orelectrolyte containing fluids frequently during theactivity.

3) Gradually over 10 to 14 days increaseexercise in heat - this allows for acclimation tooccur.

4) If you don't currently exercise or have anyunderlying medical problems, check with yourphysician before starting an exercise plan.

5) Wear cool, loose-fitting clothes duringexercise in the heat.

6) If during exercise or outdoor activities,you begin to develop cramps, headache, dizziness, nausea, chest pain or shortness of breath,STOP and seek medical attention.

Have fun outdoors this summer, but becareful. When the heat is on and the humidity ishigh, protect yourself.

I rA Certified Athletic Trainerresponds to commonly asked

questions and situations.

ften we see professional athletes raceonto the field with both ankles wrappedin enough white tape to cover the

inhabitant ofan Egyptian tomb. Can ankletaping help me, too?

If we are talking about ankle sprains, thejudicious use of correctly applied adhesive tape isdefinitely an effective method of preventinginjury. This should not, however, cause you to runout and buy athletic tape for your weekendcompetition. One of the problems with tape isthat it fails to maintain a consistent amount ofsupport during long periods of activity. Anotherproblem is that it may effect negatively youragility and running. Besides, when wrapping thefoot, a roll of tape doesn't last very long - thiscan be an expensive method of protection. Also,you will need a trainer to do it: taping an ankledoesn't involve just winding the tape around thejoint. There is a technique to it, and taping can'tbe effectively done on oneself. For these reasons,various kinds of ankle stabilizers and semi-rigidorthoses have been created which work ratherwell to reduce the ankle joint's range of motion,and thereby help prevent sprains. Ultimately, thebest defense for a potential ankle sprain is toproperly exercise the joint and build up thesupportive musculature which should prevent theinjury from occurring in the first place.

It took me a long time on the hot-surfacedtennis court to beat my nemesis. Along with thevictory, I have a memorable blister on my foot.How should I treat it?

Blisters seem to be a common problem inmoist areas where friction is present and the skinis thick; palms and soles are typically involved.Clean the area with a good antibacterial soapbefore doing anything else, being certain todebride the wound. Generally, the overlying skinmay be removed and a light layer of antisepticcreme or ointment may be applied. Cover the areawith a hydroactive gel dressing such as Spenco2nd Skin or Vigilon. These dressings are polyethylene membranes whose composition exceeds90% water. These types of occlusive dressingsretain moisture in the healing tissues and promotea faster wound resurfacing. A recent studysuggests that leaving the elevated skin of a blisterintact may be an effective treatment for painful,

partial thickness blisters, provided the underlyingwound is kept clean and the wound occluded.

Almost always I return from roller bladingwith cuts and scratches and scrapes. Is thereanything I can do to speed up my healing andavoid scarring?

For many years, it used to be felt thatwounds should be allowed to scab and dry out inorder to heal themselves best. When consideringhealing time and safety, this may not be the mostprudent course of action. New understanding ofwound management suggests that many types ofwounds heal faster, are less painful, and are lessprone to infection and cross-contamination thanwounds not treated or treated with other methodswhen they are covered with occlusive dressings.Occlusive dressings trap moisture next to theskin. They may be films (such as Bioclusive,Tegaderm and Opsite), hydrogels (such as Spenco2nd Skin and Vigilon) and hydrocolloids (such asDuoDERM, Comfeel and Tegasorb). These typesof dressings adhere well to the contours of thebody and may therefore be an excellent wounddressing for athletes who want to continue withtheir events, and minimize their "down" time.

I always see professional athletes holdingice on their injuries - is this the fastest way toreturn them to play?

As simple as it seems, ice is a very effectiveway to treat minor sprains which occur fromathletic competition. The ice serves to decreasethe swelling and pain which accompany a sprainand delay healing. The best treatment regimen isto apply the ice about 20-25 minutes each hour,starting as soon as possible after the injuryoccurs. But this is only part of what needs to bedone to get you back into playing shape quickly.By decreasing or stopping your activity, youallow your body to start repairing the damage andavoid complicating an otherwise minor situation.Wrapping the affected body part with an elasticcompression bandage and elevating the area, alsohelps to keep the area from swelling, an undesired side effect of many sprains. The mnemonic"RICE" is a good one to remember when you aretreating minor athletic sprains: Rest, Ice, .compression, Elevation.

You may have noticed that [recommendations in] each subheading contain admonitionsabout fitness and good conditioning. Goodmuscle tone and endurance are of the utmostvalue to your health in any sport.

One more point. People often say, "Use alittle common sense." My recommendation isthat you use a whole lot of common sense,especially when engaging in recreational sportslike skiing, tobogganing, snowmobiling, anddiving, where you may be tempted to performafter a few drinks. [Think about] the pleasurepain ratio. Simply put, if the pleasure derivedfrom a sport exceeds the pain incurred, then"batter-up," "serve' em up," or whatever.

Cost ofCollege in

by Thomas D. Hansen,Iowa State '79

Ready for the good andbad news about thecosts of a collegeeducation in the year

2020, that is, when your soon-tobe newborn, or your grandchildren, will matriculate?

One bit of good news arisesfrom a recent economic development: tuition, fees and bookexpenses are no longer risingfaster than the general inflationrate. That's because collegeshave had to pull back on feehikes due to competition for tophigh school graduates.

More good news: it'snevertoo late to start planning for -read that saving for -- a collegeeducation.

The bad news: currentprojections are that if it costs$6,000 today for a year of tuition,fees, books, room and boardand other expenses, that figurewill rise to $23,320a year by 2020,if the general and higher education rates of inflation average 5%a year.

Combining family and student resources, scholarships,grants and loans, student employment, and other resources isnot easy. Yet with planning anddiscipline, college expenses arewithin the reach of almost everyfamily.

Here are some general trends

and tactics:-- Studies by higher educa

tion specialists show that collegecost increases tended to runabout two percentage pointshigher than inflation since theearly 1980s. In the past two years,the rate has been equal to thegeneral inflation rate, or slightlyabove it. The pool of high schoolgraduates has dwindled in thepast five years, creating a shortage of good students anddepressing college costs. Butnumbers of entering freshmenwill rise after 2000, increasing thedemand and perhaps drivingprices higher.

-- Save early and often.Regular savings, monthly or witheach paycheck, will build asizable college fund over 25years. Even new college graduates in their first job can set aside$25 or $50 a month toward acollege fund for future children(providing they resist temptationto spend it on something else).

-- Ask other family membersto consider college funds .Grandparents might be convinced to start a regular savingsprogram at the birth of a child.

-- Invest in instruments ofmodest growth. To stay ahead ofinflation, most financial advisorsrecommend a mix of investmentswith some portion in stocks forgrowth. Look to mutual fundswith above-average performance in up and down markets;

but don't shoot for huge returnswhich attach great risk.

-- Create expectations aboutcollege costs and expenses. Isthe highest priced private schoola possibility? Will high schoolpart-time work result in the child 'sown college fund , howevermodest? Will the child workduring college?

-- Consider lifestyle as well. Acollege student accustomed topizza delivery four nights a week,premium cable N service, a newcar each year and a $1 ,000 permonth clothing allowance, willlikely carry those expectations tocampus as well. Does the college funding plan allow for suchpersonal expenses, or can thestudent be conditioned to amore reasonable lifestyle?

-- Keep college short. Canthe student test out of basicrequirements? Can you requirethe student to take a full courseload so as to graduate in fouryears? Is summer school possible?

-- Monitor changes in colleges costs. Computers are nowalmost mandatory, but the priceof a PC able to handle collegedemands isquite reasonable. In2020, will textbooks still be sold ata campus bookstore, or downloaded from an on-line service?Will fraternity fees track generalcollege price changes?

-- Look at value, not justprice. The price differencebetween a state university and aprivate school may be substantial; in the field of study, isthedegree of one worth far morethan the other? Will credits fromone college transfer to another?Is the intellectual challenge thesame at both schools?

Absent major changes in thestructure of higher education,almost every student will stillneed a mixture of financialresources 25 years from now. Thewise DUwill start now and investin the education of the nextgeneration.


Chapter Spotlights

DUs celebrate at Disney World during Central Florida Chapterinstallation weekend.

The "Chapter Spotlight" department is designed to provide undergraduate and alumni chapter memberswith a forum to promote events andaccomplishments throughout the year.For years, the Quarterly maintained atradition to print news items from allchapters in two issues each year (Julyand October) .

Until 1971, when the magazineused to run 60 pages or more, thepractice to print 15 to 25 pages of"Chapter News" in two issuesannually was quite reasonable. Today,each issue of the Quarterly contains32 pages - including front and backcovers - and 16 pages are requiredwhenever we want to print letters fromevery chapter.

In 1994, an editorial decision wasmade to feature some chapter news inevery issue of the magazine, with anintention to "spotlight" each chapterand colony as least once in a 12-monthperiod. The result is that more pagesof each Quarterly are devoted tosubjects and articles of broaderinterest to our entire readership .

We have preserved some flexibility in this policy to feature some DUgroups more than once a year, if theyregularly submit stories and pictures,or have a specific event to highlight.The magazine's editorial staff cannever have enough quality photos andchapter news items from which toselect, so send us your story today.Deadline for the October issue isAugust 26,1995.

A Return to Our RootsThe DU Convention of 1934 and the campus visit of 1995 to Williams College

Columbia '18, is a beautiful structure ofVermont marble bordered by box hedges. Itcenters on a circle ofmarble ..Leading upto this circle, which is filled in withspecially prepared rough stone, are walksand on their sides are plain marblebenches...

In a short and graceful speechBrother Bevan then presented the Memorial to the college. He said, "Opinions maydiffer as to whether the value to Americanculture ofcollege fraternities is positive ornegative.

"However, most college men recognizethat fraternities do exercise an importantinfluence upon the lives ofcollege students,both during undergraduate days, and in theyears of later life.

"Our Fraternity had its origin inWilliams College 100 years ago. Wemembers ofDelta Upsilon feel that Dr.Suzzalo, president ofthe University ofWashington, was right when, in welcomingour 1925 Convention, he said:

"'It is a part ofyour tradition to makethings better by seeing them, in greaterbreadth. Delta Upsilon was born in thespirit ofreform.'

"In presenting this memorial toWilliams College through you, Mr. Warren,as Senior Trustee ofthe College, we hopethat yourfellow trustees, and your studentswill agree with Dr. Suzzalo's evaluation ofour tradition, and that our Fraternity, bothhere at Williams, and throughout theUnited States and Canada, may merit, inthe years to come, your approbation. "

The Memorial was accepted byBentley Warren, senior trustee ofWilliams.

On November 4, 1995, a

year of 160th Anniver-sary observances for DU will

conclude, as the Fraternity will turn161. Mindful of the anniversary year,the Fraternity's Board of Directorsgathered in Boston for its 1995 springquarterly meeting. As you may remember from your DU pledge education, thecampus of Williams College was whereour Fraternity was founded, and isseparated from Boston by approximately 140 miles.

So it was that a delegation of DUBoard members and staff decided that atrip to visit Williams would be a fittingand enjoyable way to commemorate thebirth of our Fraternity 160 years ago,and traverse the landscape that attractedthe annual DU Convention in 1934.

Tucked away in the extremeNorthwest corner of Massachusetts,Williams College is the archetypalpicturesque New England campus,surrounded by the added drama of theBerkshire Mountain range. On a visit toWilliams in 1839, Henry David Thoreauwrote, "It would be no small advantageif every college were thus located at thebase of a mountain."

The small group of DU brotherswho visited the campus last spring,marveled at the enterprise it surely musthave been in 1834 to negotiate by horse,or on foot, the craggy hills and steepadverse inclines on a journey fromnearly any direction to Williamstown.

The group's self guided tour of thecampus began with a stop in front ofWest College, Williams' oldest academic building, built in 1791. It washere in the Freshman Recitation Room160 years ago, that 30 men met to formwhat constitutes an internationalfraternity of 95 DU chapters today.

At the Fraternity's convention of1934, the delegates commemorated thebirth of our brotherhood by placing amagnificent marble tablet in the walkthat approaches the East side of WestCollege. Worn by age and pedestriantraffic over the past 60 years, the tabletremains intact, with the words "DeltaUpsilon Fraternity 1834 - 1934" still

clearly visible (see accompanying 1934Quarterly magazine description,below).

From there, it was on to "GarfieldHall," otherwise known as the formerWilliams Delta Upsilon Chapter house.While a variety of refurbishments havechanged other areas of the building, thefirst floor common areas have beenbeautifully preserved. The mostinspiring feature of the first floor, froma DU pilgrimage standpoint, was theoak-paneled library, into which arecarved all 30 names of our founders.Over the mantel stands perhaps thefinest carving of the Delta Upsilon crestin existence - rivaling the one you canfind in the current University ofMichigan Chapter house.

From there it was on to the quainttime-warp storefronts of Spring Streetfor a quick lunch, followed by a peekinside St. John's Church, beforereturning to Boston. DU Board Chairman, Bob Edgar, Alberta '55, summedup the experience best by suggestingthat, "A visit to the Williams campusreally provides you with a sense ofconnection to our DU heritage. Everybrother ought to see this place."

The MarquetteChapter of Delta Upsilon made Brother Aspin an alumnusinitiate of the Fraternity.

It was announced during the service that Marquette'sWashington Center for Government, where Brother Aspintaught, was being renamed the Marquette University LesAspin Center for Government.


,by R. P. Clark, Marietta '66

"O 'er all thine enemies forevervictorious..." goes the stirring lyric of"Hail Delta Upsilon," one of ourFraternity's most popular songs. Asgraduate and undergraduate brothersjoined in singing it at a recent event, thatline gave me pause. In the song'scontext, the term "enemies" was onlythe pardonable hyperbole of the lockerroom, or the exuberant expression ofcompetition for pledges or interfraternityathletic honors. Today, in the Age ofPolitical Correctness, however, it can betaken quite literally. We seem to havesome very determined enemies.

One may well ask, "Why should anorganization devoted to Friendship,Character, Culture and Justice acquireenemies?" Well, let us acknowledge thatone reason might be shortfalls in livingup to our stated principles, to thepractical affirmation that justice is ourfoundation. This is no easy commitment,after all. Look with what difficultyjustice is done in our courts of lawtoday; I think I need cite no cases .

In DU and in most social interaction, justice is about reasoned fairness,about "doing unto others ...". And in ourcivil and criminal law we are promised ,on the entablature of the Supreme Court,only equal justice. Nothing is said aboutperfect justice, which is unlikely ever tobe attained by imperfect humans ineither the legal or the social context. Yetmany of our current societal excesses oflitigiousness and the popularity of"victim" status derive from those whopersist in confusing these two conceptsof justice. Significantly, politicalsystems purporting to seek a perfectjustice of one sort or another, haveblighted and bloodied much of thecurrent century.

Of course, true justice must restupon an objective and discoverablereality, and hold itself above specialpleading, ideology, or externalities.Justice based upon unreason is acontradiction in terms, a travesty. And aswell as owing justice to others, we oweit to ourselves. There is no virtue inunwarranted self-abasement, in ritualflagellation, particularly in the face of

the irrational and unjust attacks onfraternities' and sororities' right to exist.(It is significant that many of ourharshest critics, PC academics and inparticular the feminist fringe, are openlyanti-intellectual, disdaining reason andlogic -- "a male rip-off' says GloriaSteinem. Baloney probably has a similaraversion to the slicing machine.)

Other feminists describe logic as atool used by the patriarchy to oppresswomen. And in science they maintain"intuitive impressions come closer to thetruth than logically constructedarguments...the very tools of malescience are proved deficient, and mustbe replaced by female instruments."Philosopher of mathematics MargaritaLevin wonders "whether feministsairplanes would stay airborne forfeminist engineers."

A strong case can be made that wecontend not with fair-minded critics orsincere reformers, but with, as our songsuggests, enemies - people who thinkwe should not be permitted to exist. Onecannot deny that indefensible actionsoccur within our ranks from time totime. I believe, however, that the meaculpas have become a bit disproportionate to the sins. Any organization mustundertake a manful defense whenunjustly accused, and carry the struggleinto the adversaries' camp. That is whatthis column aims to accomplish.

Let us by all means encourageintelligent self-criticism, and bear inmind the serious liability issues thathave sadly made one generation's highspirited pranks into this generation'sfederal cases. But let us also agree thatwould-be friends as well as enemieshave called in too much heavy artilleryon our own position . The Advocate'sstance will be a vigorous, over-the-top,take-no-prisoners assertion of DeltaUpsilon 's right to exist and prosper, andindeed of our unique and irreplaceablevalue as a part of the collegiate and lifeexperience. We reject the fatuity of thedons of Williams College, who eliminated our founding chapter and all otherfraternities in the name of "total education." It takes a special kind of obtuse-

The Advocateness to miss the irony, as one uproots asignificant contributor to the very goalone proclaims.

So let us set about, with relish andgusto, (as Scott Fitzgerald would haveput it), a thorough deconstruction of theanti-Fraternity zealots . A future columnwill examine how well some of our mostdistinguished institutions of higherlearning are observing their foundingprinciples.

Of course, one's own failingscannot be excused by those of others.But the low jinx, inanities, grossbehavior and occasional destructivenessof youths (fraternity members orotherwise) "off on a spree" are in mostcases pretty small beer compared withthe intellectual dishonesty, misuse offunds, violations of Constitutionalrights, and numerous betrayals ofacademic freedom practiced by some ofthe superannuated Flower Children withtenure, to whom fraternities are thesource of all evil. Let them take up themanure fork and address their ownAugean stables!

Future "Advocate" columns willaddress many of these issues . Yourthoughts are invited. Finally, in everyissue of the Quarterly we will attempt tosuggest where undergraduates andinterested alumni may find intellectualammunition in the form of books,articles , and other items of interest. Toget started, the following are highlyrecommended: Who Stole Feminism, byChristina Hoff Summers, AssociateProfessor of Philosophy, Clark University and The Heterodoxy Handbook:How to Survive the PC Campus,available from the Center for the Studyof Popular Culture, P. O. Box 12400Ventura Blvd . Suite 304, Studio City,CA 91604.1-800-752-6562.

Brother Clark is senior vice president ofMarketing Strategies Incorporated, abiomedical and high technologyadvertising and public relations firmlocated near Boston. He is a pastpresident ofDUNE, The Delta UpsilonAlumni Club ofNew England.
