A PuBLicAtion of thE KAnsAs chAPtER of DELtA uPsiLon

With the International Fraternity Convention and

Leadership Institute held in our own backyard

this summer, it was easy to get a nice group of KU

alumni to join the undergraduate and alumni Fraterni-

ty brothers from chapters around the U.S. and Canada

at the Hyatt Regency in Kansas City, Missouri, from

August 2 through 6.

About a dozen KU alumni attended a cocktail reception

on Wednesday evening, including three former Internation-

al Board members from the Kansas Chapter, Lewis

Gregory ’75, Doug Ballou ’75, and John Esau ’78.

Reports about area chapters at KU, Kansas State,

Wichita, and Missouri were given from undergraduate

presidents and officials of the DU International Board

and Foundation. Presenting at the 2006 Alumni Vol-

unteer Conference later in the week was Kansas DU

alumnus Rod Barleen ’97, who spoke to a peer vol-

unteer group about Greek housing trends, fundraising,

and chapter operations.

At the convention, our Chapter was repeatedly recog-

nized as one of the exemplary DU chapters. Along the

way, our Chapter received awards for outstanding

facilities management, community service, and special

recognition under the Chapter Excellence Program.

On the night of the grand banquet the Kansas Chapter

received its most significant honor by being selected

as one of the finalists for the Grand Sweepstakes Award.

As the award was presented, I noted with pride that

our Chapter representatives receiving the award

included undergraduate leaders (current and future),

the Chapter counselor, and members of our House

Corporation Board and our Education Foundation.

Putting the Kansas Chapter in the Delta Upsilon “Top

5” had taken a great team effort by a lot of people

working together.

When everyone is rowing the boat in the same direction,

great things can happen. There are many ways to

remain involved as a Kansas Chapter alumnus

whether as a limited engagement or on a continuing

basis. Your Chapter is hungry for alumni involvement

in the form of guest speakers, leadership mentors, and

long-distance career advisors.

If you have minutes, hours, days, or dollars available,

we can use your help in continuing the success of the

Kansas Chapter.

As my term winds down, I could not be

more pleased with the way things at the

Chapter have been operating. From academics

to community involvement and athletics, our

men are proving themselves as leaders and

gentlemen. This summer at the Delta Upsilon

Leadership Institute in Kansas City, the Chapter

was recognized as a Sweepstakes Finalist. The

talk of the conference was the Kansas Chapter’s

return to the top.

Freshman class helps to improve overall G.P.A.The Chapter has continued to improve its

overall G.P.A. We went from a fall 3.099

G.P.A. to this spring’s G.P.A. of 3.12. Once

again, the freshmen showed their academic

strength with three 4.0s in their class alone.

However, we feel confident in saying that our

new recruits will be able to top that number.

Recruitment effort brings 39 new associate members to the ChapterOn August 11 we welcomed 39 new associate

members into the Chapter. Applause is due to

trent nelson ’08, Brian huntington ’08,

and chris Albrect ’08 for their amazing

recruitment effort. The Chapter House is

filled to its seams, and we are enjoying every

minute of it. The new class is made up of

some of the finest scholars, leaders, and

athletes that have ever been a part of this

Chapter. We look forward to our new recruit-

ment chairmen continuing the effort. If there

are any alumni recommendations, please let the

chairmen know. It’s never too early to start

thinking about next year.

Plans under way for Rock Chalk RevueAfter an amazing run last year, DU is looking

to be on top again. We have already paired up

with Delta Gamma for this year’s Homecom-

ing competition. We are looking forward to

winning the prize back to back. Rock Chalk

Revue preparation has already begun. Last

spring we asked Gamma Phi Beta to be our

partners in this year’s production. Finally,

practice for DU flag football started the first

week of school. The Chapter is excited to bring

The Hill Championship home again this year.

Philanthropic efforts include twomore fundraising eventsIn an effort to make the Kansas Chapter stand

above the rest, we have become very involved

with the Boys and Girls Club. We have

increased our effort from solely hosting the

Greg Wilkerson Memorial Football Tourna-

ment to organizing a chili cook-off and basketball

clinic for the kids. We raised more than $4,000

last year and are looking to improve that total

this semester.

I would like to thank all of the alumni and parents

for their continued support. We all have the

same goal in mind, which is to make this

Chapter the best at KU and the best Fraternity.

Please feel free to stop by on a game day or

Mondays for Chapter. We would love to have you.

Roger Morrison ’65 and Richard Morrison

’70, both of Salina, Kansas, share a strong

interest in collecting cars, though each has his

own passion and direction. Roger is into classic

cars and car shows, while Richard has the

“need for speed” in racing vintage autos.

Richard started racing go-carts in his teen

years and still has the first car he bought, a

1925 Model T Ford coupe. Richard currently

owns “about a dozen” cars—an eclectic

group of sport and racing cars that includes a

1964 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso he drove at KU his

senior year, a ’67 Shelby GT350 Mustang

identical to one driven at KU his first three

years, a Formula Atlantic Indy car formerly

owned by Jeff Andretti, and several others. A

real prize is his ’39 Lagonda Le Mans replica

that he enjoys racing.

Roger’s collection of cars includes numerous

hot rods and dragsters, along with his prized

’29 Rolls-Royce Springfield Phantom I Riviera

Town Brougham with a body by Brewster.

Roger has been a judge (Rolls-Royce class) at

the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours D’Ele-

gance, America’s premier classic car event, for

more than 20 years. Richard has had one win-

ner at the Pebble Beach classic, while Roger

has racked up three wins.

Roger was an English major at KU, while

Richard majored in economics. After college,

both brothers returned to Salina to work in the

family grain storage and farming operations

while perusing other entrepreneurial ventures.

The brothers are still active in Morrison Ventures

when they’re not racing, showing, or looking

for more cars to add to their collections.

Richard and his wife, Sallie, have two chil-

dren, Mindy and Jeffrey. Roger and his wife,

Maureen, have four children: Aaron, Amy,

Molly, and Megan. Roger can be contacted at

Alumni Spotlights

Gene camarena ’79, a Salina, Kansas

native, left the DU house after graduation

and took a job at a regional accounting firm in

Wichita. Fast forward a quarter century from

this modest beginning and you’ll find a suc-

cessful entrepreneur who recognized many

opportunities along the way, changed course,

took risks, and worked hard to become one of

Pizza Hut’s most successful franchisees. Oh,

and he owns four Marriott hotel franchises

with three others either under construction or

on the drawing board.

Gene’s early career took him to Koch Indus-

tries in Wichita where he worked on business

acquisitions and solidified an increasing desire

to build or acquire his own business. During

his tenure at Koch, Gene applied to Harvard

Business School and was accepted in the fall

of 1985. He confesses that being middle of the

pack at Harvard, among some elite and pedi-

greed classmates, was fine with him. He cred-

its his experience at Harvard with giving him

the tools he would eventually need to pull off

something big.

For Gene, “something big” started at Pizza

Hut, where he landed a job working on fran-

chise acquisitions and small chain deals after

Harvard. While working for Pizza Hut Corpo-

rate, Gene confesses that crunching numbers

every day made him realize “the franchise side

of the business was where the

money is.” Gene put together his

own deal for eight stores in the

Amarillo, Texas, area and pre-

sented it to then president Steve

Reinimund (currently the CEO

of PepsiCo) who liked the idea.

By 1994, another dozen stores

were acquired.

Today, Gene’s company owns

and operates 71 units in Texas,

New Mexico, and Indiana. He

says, “I chose the company name La Raza

Pizza (the race pizza) to signify that this is a

100% Hispanic owned company, and that we

are very proud of that fact. The majority of our

employees in Texas and New Mexico are His-

panic.” He is also proud to report that based on

2005 sales, his company is ranked in the top

125 Hispanic owned companies in America.

While his business units have offices in Amar-

illo, Indianapolis, and Kansas City, Gene and

his wife, Yolanda (also a Harvard graduate),

call Wichita home. They are active and

involved parents of two daughters, Gena and

Potsie, who both attend Wichita Collegiate

High School. The family is also heavily

involved in the Hispanic community. Yolanda

started a program at Wichita

North High School called

FLLOW, Future Latino Leaders

of Wichita.

Gene stays involved in the com-

munity working with the United

Way, the Catholic Diocese of

Wichita, and as a former chair-

man of the International Pizza

Hut Franchise Holders Associa-

tion. In spite of his dedication to

the community, a busy work

schedule, and frequent travels out of state,

Gene prides himself in rarely missing any of

his girls’ activities, and still finding the time to

hang with some of his DU brothers in the

Wichita area, whom he describes as “some of

my closest friends, which has been a lasting

benefit from my four years at the DU house.”

In addition to Pizza Huts and hotels, Gene has

owned Burger King and Beauty Warehouse

franchises, though he has since sold his inter-

est in those concepts. Is he done building?

“We continue to look at different deals every

year” is his reply.

serving his country, Hal co-founded the Kauf-

man Advertising Agency in Kansas City. In

1965 Hal invented a rust remover he named

Naval Jelly. He promoted and sold it first by

mail order, and it later became widely avail-

able through hardware, automotive, and home

improvement centers nationwide. Later in life,

brother Kaufman sold his interest in Naval

Jelly to the Loctite Corporation. His family

described him as a Renaissance man, with var-

ied interests ranging from the arts, to history,

science, and philosophy. He loved opera and
