...carnival nights at least, girls are warned not to go near Theta Delta Chi House, locally known as Boom-Boom Lodge, without taking a solidly protective date. Theta, like Alpha Delta, provided most of the raw material used by Chris Miller, Dartmouth '63, when he wrote Animal House. Surely here, a visitor thinks, will be found just the bunch of "animals" to make every dream, or nightmare, of collegiate debauchery come true...
...Yogi, the guru from India who brought TM to Europe and the U.S. TM organizers are also putting together an index of rehabilitation, though there is some doubt that parole boards would-or should-judge an inmate ready for release on the basis of things like improved alpha and theta brain waves. Penal authorities are more likely to be persuaded by the support TM has so far given parolees through free counseling at the 80 TM centers around the state...
...Miami. Occasionally, the corpulent assets of the two organizations bump into each other, revealing the complex relationships. The institute, of which Hughes was sole trustee, owns all of Hughes Aircraft Co., the huge defense contractor (more than $1.4 billion worth last year). Hughes Aircraft, in turn, owns half of Theta Cable, a cable TV system in Los Angeles. The other half is owned by Teleprompter Corp., a non-Hughes company, and about 5% of Teleprompter's stock is owned by Summa...
...penchant for cold calculation with a latent but awesome talent for salesmanship. Davidson, 39, makes an impressive appearance with his year-round tan and robust physique (he plays tennis and basketball at least three times a week). His pin-stripe suits, moderate Republicanism and background as a Beta Theta Pi at U.C.L.A. tend to reassure businessmen. In the final crunch of negotiation, they discover that he is a tough bargainer. To use his own favorite word, Davidson is a brilliant "closer"-a combination of salesman and lawyer who knows how to wrap up a deal and make it stick...
...students don't appear to have been big league pushers involved in some million-dollar underground narcotics ring. All five students were residents of either Beta Theta Pi or Delta Phi, two fraternity houses located just off campus. Three of the students are fraternity officers and two are varsity wrestlers. The arrests for marijuana dealing consisted of two separate deals; in the first instance a student allegedly sold four pounds of marijuana for $800, and in the other instance another student, the president of Delta Phi, allegedly sold 15 ounces of marijuana...
