Business Fraternity
Receives National
Honors in St. Louis
By Thomas M. Lynch
News Editor
Huring this past summer,
the Delta Sigma Pi chapter
at Loyola Maiymount Univer¬
sity received the “Most Improved
Chapter” award for the entire
United States. It is the second
highest award that can be given
to a chapter by their National
Executive Committee. The.
award was presented at the Delta
Sigma Pi Grand Chapter Con¬
gress which was held during the
„second week of August in St.
Louis.
The 224 different chapters
represented at the convention
also witnessed the installation
of former LMU chapter presi¬
dent and faculty member, Bill
Kinsella, as the new Grand
President of Delta Sigma Pi.
Kinsella is the first Grand Presi¬
dent ever from LMU and also the
first from the western part of the
United States.
Two days prior to winning
the national award, the LMU
chapter was awarded the “Most
Improved Chapter in the Re¬
gion." in Delta Sigma's region
are chapters from USC, UC
Riverside, Cal State Long Beach,
Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State
Fullerton, Cal Poly San Luis
Obispo, Cal State Northridge,
USD, UNLV, San Diego State,
and Hawaii-Hilo.
Rick Adamson, president of
Delta Sigma Pi. stated, “This
award was the result of every
brother working together for
each event that we sponsored.
Basically, it was a matter of
setting both long and short term
goals and actually sticking to
them."
As a professional business
fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi is
required to fulfill certain require¬
ments in fund raising, profes¬
sional, and community service.
This past year, the chapter ful¬
filled these requirements and
continued to participate in all
three activities. Such activities
included sponsoring Richard
Riordian to address the student
body, the first annual CBA
Business Recruiting Banquet,
Meet the Dean night and many
seminars on popular business
topics. In addition, the chapter
sponsored many community
service and philanthropic proj¬
ects.
The chapter has recently
been commended by Dr. John
Wholihan, Dean of the College
of Business Administration, who
commented, “The achievement
by Delta Sigma Pi is an example
of professional excellence. The
professionalism of the frater¬
nity fits well with the University
and College goals of assisting
students in developing their
leadership skills."
In regard to this coming
year, Adamson comments "Our
goal this year is to strive for the
most oustanding chapter in the
nation."

Generations Reunite
at LMU's Alumni BBQ
By Matthew A. Belland
Contributor
Saturday brought the annual
LMU Alumni Barbeque and
the return of more than 2000
former students to the Westch¬
ester campus. Presale tickets
were up 300 from last year with
1600 tickets sold, according to
Ralph Consola, Director of
Alumni Relations.
The flow of beer and wine
was regulated this year. Three
drinks were included in the meal
price and additional drinks had
to be purchased. In previous
years, the libation flowed freely.
The restriction, however, did
not seem to matter. The crowd
was buoyant, affable and happy
to be home again at LMU.
Dave Florczyk, an alum¬
nus of 1 988, reminisced for the
Loyotan, Til never forget Hues-
man Chapel. Nothing beats a
mass like that. It was so inti¬
mate and warm."
Each alumnus had a story
to tell. Dan Hess (*85) remem¬
bered catching rabbits in the
sunken garden. Bernadette
Houston (*87) told tales of the
Whelan Open, a mega-party that
used to occur each Fall before
the University changed the al¬
cohol party.
The alumni expressed sat¬
isfaction with what they had
received from the University.
Barbara Putis (’89) responded,
“yes it was worth it— especially
now with the school’s reputa¬
tion and standards rising. It*s
great to have that kind of back¬
ing when you’re out in the work
force."
A tall alumnus named Wil¬
liam summed up his LMU expe¬
rience, “Since it is such a small
campus, you had to learn how
to deal with a lot of people. You
had to be personable. In the
end, it makes one simply more
human."

LMU Jesuits
Celebrate 50
Year Jubilee
By Gloria Brochtrup
Contributor
Sunday, September 10,
marked the celebration of
fifty years as Jesuit priests for
Fathers Clement J. Schneider
and Karl E. Von der Ahe. Sacred
Heart Chapel filled quickly with
friends and admirers who wished
to observe their Golden Jubliee.
The Golden Jubilee distin¬
guishes priests who have been
serving for fifty years. Both Fa¬
ther Schneider and Father Von
der Ahe were ordained in 1939
and have been Jesuits for at
least sixty years.
Father Karl Von der Ahe,
commonly known as “King Karl"
to the Jesuit community, served
Loyola University for many years.
Prior to his presence on the
Westchester campus, he was a
principal at Loyola High School
from 1943 to 1948. He then
taught philosophy at Loyola Uni¬
versity. When the Sacred Heart
Chapel opened its doors in 1953,
Father Von der Ahe was the
residing chaplain. He left Loyola
to serve in various other call¬
ings, but returned to Loyola
Maiymount University in 1983,
and since then has served as a
minister and treasurer.
“Jesuits never retire," be¬
lieves Father Schneider, who
displays his axiom with commit¬
ment and service to LMU. Father
Schneider, or “Father Time," as
known to the Jesuits, was or¬
dained on June 16, 1939, at the
mission of Santa Clara. He says,
“Through the priesthood may
Christ be the cause of our abid-
ing friendship, [and our) achieve¬
ment of Catholic life." Father
Schneider has been a Jesuit for
sixty three years. H
Gifts to LMU Highest in Nation
By Ellen Keane
Senior Writer
In a year when contributions
to American colleges and uni¬
versities dropped for the first
time since 1975, LMU placed
first among all comprehensive
institutions for voluntary con¬
tributions for 1987-1988; Ac¬
cording to information released
by the Council for Aid to Educa¬
tion last May, LMU received a
total of $26,809,980, over 2
million dollars more than Wake
Forest University who placed
second in the category.
John T. Wagner, Director
of Development, attributes
much of the total to the bequest

of $40 million bestowed on the
University by the late Liliore
Green Rains, the second half of
which was received in 1988.
Wagner places a greater
emphasis, not on bequests and
deferred gifts, but on the steady
increase in outright contribu¬
tions to the University. “We try
to focus our efforts on contribu¬
tions we can have a direct im¬
pact on," he explains. Gifts from
alumni, parents, foundations,
and other groups totaled
$8,050,749 in 1989, almost $3
million more than the total re¬
ported by the CFAE for 1988.
A significant portion of the
contributions came from the
Jesuit Community, who gave a

total of $725,000 to the Univer¬
sity in 1989, the Fritz B. Burns
Foundation Ahe Weingart Foun¬
dation, and a program in which
corporations match the dona¬
tions of their employees. Mem¬
bership in the LMU Associates,
which requires an annual dona¬
tion of $1 ,000 to the University,
rose to 665.
The growth is also credited
to two other successful pro¬
grams. Under Anthony Vulin,
chair of the Alumni Annual Fund,
alumni donations rose to
$495,956, a 43% increase from
the year before. In a similar
increase, LMU parents contrib¬
uted $130,702, a 62%jump from
