PRESID�,�T'S MESSAGE - Jonathan King '74

The'TEKE'S are here to stay!' Fall '72 reflects the gallant comeback of Nu Chapter into
prominence 'on the Berkeley camp· us. With 13 new,
' pledgeS'the house now has 3J live-in members.
Th� R�ghest total in at least three years has been reached. This has been acc6mplished by a
dedic�ted c�re of workers, who were invaluable to the House over the work session and rush
�veek·peri_ods. Nu C.hapter maintains, the fraternal .advantages of cooperation,
. friendshjps,
acti�{tie� and brotherhood.
Thanks to the financial assistance of the House Corporation, the House has been refurnished
considerably. There are new drapes, new lamps, dining room chairs, mattresses, a new fan for
the kitchen. and new carpeting for the stairs. But, the improvement is not merely rnaterial ;
the pledge class is much more than replacements for outgoing membe�s, they are an excellent
group of young men who have helped . bring new life to the House. The pledge class of Fall '72
is outStanding!
Our present situation looks very good. We're planning more activi�Ues this year and have
been interested in the political ·scene. Another successful year at Nu Chapter -of TEKE is in
the'making.
