THE CARDINAL PRINCIPLES "NuUa die sine linea" (No day without a line [of written work]). They recognized that "repetition was the mother of all knowledge." How often I have seen materials presented in book on "how to study" and I find over and over again the learning psychologists telling us that mastery learning takes time. Yes, repetition must take place. Facts will not stick when learned in isolation. Study after study has shown the necessity of meaning and structure. A few weeks ago I sent an order to a map company to secure an historical "time line" because so many students in one of my courses have little understanding of how events are related over time! I think of the Academic Resource Cen ter at my own university where learning professionals try to teach good study habits and skills. How often are students told that "all nighters" produce work of little quality! How often do we come to the harsh reality that cramming the night before an exam has htde value over the "long haul" Nothing remains for those times when integration must take place. The question will invariably come, "How will all this fit together" If academic honesty is to be pursued, ...as an expression of rectitude, we must do those things that sound learning demands... To my way of thinking, the "fitting together" goes back to sound learning and rectitude. If academic honesty is a goal to be pursued, and we certainly hope that as Phis we wiU engage in that pursuit as an expression of rectitude, we must do those things that sound learning demands: the step-by-step mastery of our subject matter with adequate time to integrate. What we learn has to be more than a collection of disconnected facts. It was with a bit of hesitation that I wrote the following on a studenfs term paper last semester: "What you have presented here is a collection of information seeking an outline and eventual integration." Will we sit back for a moment and think of the relationship between these two values to which we have pledged our word Will sound learning and rectitude mutually influence one another The next time we sit down with a piece of paper or before the word processor will we think of how much "real work" will be involved if we are to bring information together in an honest and integrated way I wish all our readers—who will willingly "think on these things"—an experience of joy and success in this pursuit M E X T They're Here!

[ FRATERNITY AND FOUNDATION ] New leadership and expansion staff Summer Interns With the help of the Educational Foundation, the Fraternity was once again able to offer summer internships to two undergraduate members.

Founders Challenge Chapters gain recruitment incentives At Leadership College this July, General Council President C.W. "Chuck" Poore introduced Phi Delta Theta's newest initiative— The Founders Challenge Recruitment Award. This award offers financial incentives to chapters who exceed recruitment expectations for the 1998-1999 academic year. Each chapter's individual challenge goal is the number of men they initiated during the 1997-1998 academic year plus "six" initiates. Chapters that initiate the same number of men plus four or more initiates will be eligible for various cash rebates from the General Fraternity. More details can be found in the September Palladian Window and on the Fraternity web site. http://www.phidelt-ghq.com SUMMER 1998 THE SCROLL
