Cal Alpha’s New Oldest Living Phi: Mr. Maurice Baldwin, #432
Few 98-year olds radiate an enthusiasm reminiscent of the days of their youth, and fewer still look
ten or fifteen years younger. But Maurice F. Baldwin, Bond #432, a Cal Alpha Phi from the Class of 1932,
isn’t your typical 98-year old.
A native of San Francisco’s Richmond district, Baldwin attended Polytechnic High School, then
San Mateo Junior College, and he starred for both football teams and led them to respective championships.
Along with several of his teammates, the highly-regarded Baldwin transferred to UC Berkeley as a junior
and became the captain of the Cal football team, playing center and linebacker. He also pledged Phi Delta
Theta that fall semester of 1930.
The Cal Alpha of old differed in many ways from that of the present, with its location on Hearst
Avenue, its sizable number of athletes who played for Cal, and its more “traditional” pledging and initiation
procedures. But some aspects that remained constant were the heated rivalry with Stanford (Cal won both
Big Games during Baldwin’s two-year tenure), the great relations with campus sororities, and most impor-
tantly, the friendliness and openness among the members.
“I had very fond memories
because that [Phi Delta Theta] was
home,” Baldwin warmly remembered.
The life of a collegiate foot-
ball player also drastically differed in
that era. The Depression forced many
players to take additional jobs to help
pay for their university fees and living
expenses, including Baldwin, who
hauled cinder for the athletic track.
And in addition to the players playing
both offense and defense without sub-
stitutions and rarely having breaks,
Baldwin recalls playing under a coach
who wouldn’t allow them to drink
water during games, and once, be-
cause of the lack of hash marks on the
field, intercepting a ball against Idaho
and running twenty yards in the wrong
direction, before correcting himself. In fact, Baldwin was the immediate successor to Roy “Wrong Way”
Riegels, the Cal center who in the 1929 Rose Bowl against Georgia Tech, infamously recovered a fumble
and ran 65 yards in the wrong direction.
However, the biggest difference was arguably the lack of physical protection. The helmets were
leather and barely provided any protection, the football cleats had iron studs that would routinely lodge
themselves in body parts, and the pads failed to bear the brunt of tackles, resulting in countless injuries.
“Those doggone uniforms we used to wear, they had pads in all the wrong places,” Baldwin recol-
lected.
Baldwin’s injuries included a metal stud from a football cleat lodged in his hand, which required
five stitches, a broken nose, and a broken collarbone. But they didn’t stop him from continuing to lead the
team. In fact though Baldwin’s two years at Cal were losing seasons, the team still traveled to Atlanta to
play Georgia Tech in a bowl game, and shook hands with President Hoover in Washington, D.C.
Despite the close friendships he formed with brothers during his time at Cal Alpha (including the
recently deceased oldest Cal Alpha Phi, George Horton), the Depression meant that social relationships had
to suffer at the expense of more immediate necessities, like obtaining employment.
“We didn’t keep in touch with anybody because we had to carry on with our own lives,” Baldwin
said.

when the backers couldn’t obtain enough financial
support, but Baldwin was still very happy to keep his
job at Owens, where he was progressing up the corpo-
rate ladder very well.
In spite of his many years, one quote by
Brother Baldwin aptly describes not only his time as a
football star, but his unwavering philosophy toward
life, which was constantly challenged by obstacles
ranging from the Depression to numerous injuries.

ready to drop. I was always in the action.”

will also be some work days scheduled throughout
the semester to ensure that house improvements and
projects are done efficiently and effectively and to
keep the house clean. We are also looking to fix our
roof, kitchen, and do some structural work within the
next few years to help make sure our house remains
in good condition. We appreciate the role of Cal Al-
pha Board of Directors, and all alumni for their ongo-
ing help in improving the chapter house and making
it a better place to live. We hope that you will con-

Pins and certificates were distributed with the caveat
that fond memories of Cal and Phi Delta Theta be
shared for all to enjoy. Phi Delta Theta is truly a fra-

President’s Report
In my second and last semester as President I am con-
tinually looking for ways to improve the experience at Cal Al-
pha. In the time that I have been President, I have seen the chap-
ter through some times of great development and growth. The
Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life under the direction of Dr.
Hesp has been very active in improving the Greek system and its
reputation here at Cal. I am proud to say that Cal Alpha has
been one of the more active chapters on campus when working
with the campus and the community. The success of our very
strong relationship with the campus has a lot to do with the
countless efforts of the Housing Corporation, namely King Tuck
and Adam Garfinkle. Along these lines, Cal Alpha has been
improving our relationship with the Berkeley Fire Department
and the Building Department by becoming current with fire and
life-safety codes. Here at Cal Alpha, we feel that these, in addi-
tion to our house renovation projects, are crucial to the house’s
future, so that we will be able to attract new members and main-
tain a positive image in the eyes of our peers.
Every day I have made an effort to improve the state of
the house as far as “brotherhood” is concerned. I want new
members to participate in important functions/positions in the
house, I want them to become more active and knowledgeable
within the campus community, and most of all I want them to
succeed. I think Cal Alpha provides them with great potential to
move them to become responsible and mature individuals. At
times I feel as if I have to push them to grow and mature, and at
times it can be a painful process, but well worth it. I feel that if I
3
see to it that all the brothers are happy then this house can do
great things.
In light of these great things, I feel that the house is
becoming more academically oriented. Our existing members
and newest recruits have challenged themselves with rigorous
majors, including civil and mechanical engineering, physics,
history, political science, and English.
In terms of Rush this fall, I feel that an addition of 8-10
guys will be adequate and sufficient. However, we feel that it is
never practical to sacrifice quality for quantity. On this impor-
tant note, I feel that having a solid core of younger guys in the
house ensures that we will continue to prosper. Now, we have
that core group, but in order to ensure that all our positive contri-
butions to the house endure, it is necessary to rush aggressively.
Going into my last semester as President, I have real-
ized that I was given a great opportunity to contribute to the or-
ganization and at the same benefit from my experiences. I have
found that I could do no other than help in anyway that I could to
see this place grow into something even better than when I first
was brought in. I also hold in high esteem the Housing Corpora-
tion as well as all alumni who have put in so much time and ef-
fort. I will forever remember my experiences here and I look
forward to contributing to the house in the future.
Yours in the Bond,
Evan Basakis, #1301

Building Fund
We have a very important project that has become a
priority at the Chapter House. Our wooden fire es-
cape has finally seen its last days. The Berkeley Fire
Marshall deemed the structure unsafe during an an-
nual inspection and mandated that it be replaced im-
mediately. The Housing Corporation, led by brother
Decker Flynn, has demolished the old structure and
erected a temporary staircase to prevent the City from
closing the house. Terry Maiken kick started the fire
escape fund raising campaign with a $500 donation .

We have employed the services of a structural engi-

neer and have been working on obtaining a permit
from the City to construct a permanent steel structure.
The new structure will solve many issues besides Cal Alpha’s Temporary Fire Escape
safety. We have always had many leaks and dry rot
issues next to the old fire escape that we have not been
able to fix. This project will allow us to make some Many thanks to the brothers listed below who have contributed to the

The 2007 Cal football season has begun and, as usual, we will be having
gameday BBQs at the Chapter House at 2726 Channing Way before and
after every home football game. If you and your families will be in
Berkeley to attend any of the six Cal home games, I invite you to stop by
the House for some food and soft drinks before heading up to the sta-
dium. This is also a great chance to see your fellow alumni and to meet
our current members.
Remarks from the Vice President
ALS Association
The ALS Association held its first Day in Sacramento last spring, and
California Alpha was there with them. This advocacy event brought
ALS patients and supporters together in a visit to the state representa-
tives' offices. Three brothers and two pledges spoke about their ex-
periences helping the ALS Association, and what more needs to be
done to help find a cure for this debilitating disease.
Be a Part of Chapter History
Brothers Eric Michal and Matt Dally are writing a comprehensive
history of California Alpha. So far, we've looked through old Alpha
Star issues, Blue & Gold Yearbooks, and miscellaneous other sources.
Now we want to hear from the alumni: tell us about your life in Phi
Delt, funniest stories, lessons learned, fellow brothers, and anything
else you want to pass on to a new generation of Phis. If you've got a
story to tell, please get in touch with Historian Matt Dally (e-mail

My Summer at the World Series of Poker
I joined Phi Delta Theta at the end of my sophomore year as
an avid poker player and fan. I hoped to test some of my skills once I
turned 21 at the various events of the World Series of Poker. I
booked a cheap hotel near the venue for the end of May through the
middle of July to ensure my stay for the entire World Series. It started
off tough and I found myself overwhelmed by many of the stars from
ESPN sitting right beside me. Some of the names at my tables in-
cluded Men the Master, Joe Hachem, Jamie Gold, Howard Lederer,
Erick Lindgren, Kathy Liebert, and Alex Jacob. Perhaps you are fa-
miliar with some of them, but they were superstars to me. The sum-
mer became long as I cashed in only one time heading into the Main
Event, but the Phis were plentiful. I received visits from several of
the active brothers that were in Vegas at the time, and it was great to
have some company in the hot desert sun. In addition, I was able to
spend some time with a recent alumnus too. However, the most sur-
prising day was the when I wore one of my Phi Delta Theta rush
shirts. Four people at my tables that day notified me that they were
brothers in the bond at chapters from all over the place. I had never
This year’s Duck Dinner will be held in the Great Hall 4
at the Faculty Club on Thursday, November 29th at
7:30PM. As usual, many members plan to meet at
Henry’s at 5:00 before heading over. We are also in
the process of arranging an open house at 2717 Hearst
Avenue, Cal Alpha’s former chapter house, from 5-
6PM. Mark your calendars! Please fill it out and re-
turn it by November 7th. We will also have our
“Active vs. Alumni” softball game the next day, Fri-
day, November 30th. Make sure to stop by and test
your softball skills after Duck Dinner and the day be-

realized how many brothers are really out there and doing a lot of the
same things!
In the final event, just as I hoped to leave Las Vegas because
I’d had enough, some good fortune finally came my way. I had the
best cards on Day 1 of the Main event and was able to reach near the
chip lead with 130,000 chips. I survived Day 2 with 80,000 chips and
was hoping to make it to the money. Halfway though Day 3, 621 of
the 6300 entrants were left. By the end of Day 3, I had built up to
360,000. On Day 4 the good fortune really returned as I got to 1.3
million chips with about 130 players remaining. Then on Day 5, the
luck ran out, but I still was able to finish 82nd in this year's Main
Event, and the summer was a success with that final note. Chasing
the 8 million dollar prize was a memory I won't forget and hope to try
again soon!

Summer in Armenia
Being proud of who you are has been ingrained in me
from a young age. Being Armenian pretty much guarantees being
in the minority wherever I go. As such, it is always a challenge
finding a place where I can truly feel accepted and understood. I
found such a place here at California Alpha.
Going back to Armenia this summer after a 6 year absence
was amazing. I saw family members that had last seen me as a 14-
year-old child. I saw things differently than I had back then. It
wasn’t all fun and games this time around. I visited some of the
most poverty-stricken people I had ever seen, this time around fully
understanding what that meant: what those people had to go
through everyday just to have food in their stomachs. I also saw
some of the most beautiful and breathtaking sites I had ever seen as
well. I visited one of the oldest churches in the world, which was
Rush Update
Hello brothers. This fall looks like it will provide an abun-
dant and dynamic group of Phikeia. A new tactic we will be trying
this year that we have not tried in the past is a rush “telethon,”
where we call as many of the incoming freshman as we can via a
contact list we obtained from the university. Hopefully this will
provide us with some more depth as we begin recruitment. Other
rush strategies have been redefined and modified, including our
approach towards bidding and outreach. Some of the tactics we
tried last year proved unsuccessful, such as rush teams. With a
commitment towards collective participation still forefront in my
mind, other collectively inspired plans will be put into effect this
fall, such as logistical preparation for specific events that the entire
house will participate in. Such an approach to the complexities of
Rush will both take some of the weight off of my shoulders
(allowing me to focus on the actual recruitment) and allow for
Emerging Leaders Institute
This summer in Oxford, Ohio, many members from Phi
Delta Theta chapters across the country and Canada came together at
the Phi Delta Theta Emerging Leaders Institute. This meeting is held
every year to promote unity across chapters and to reinforce the
principles of the fraternity. Our chapter sent us, Tom and Konrad,
two of the youngest and most eager brothers. After arriving in
Oxford we rushed to the first event, a dinner at which we were given
Cal Alpha’s Gold Star and Community Service Citation. We listened
actively at the lectures and participated in the smaller group
discussions.
Each of the three full days had a focus. The first day's pillar
was ritual and was headlined by a model initiation. The second day
taught the young men about successful recruitment tactics.
Throughout each day the young leaders met with their groups and
Philanthropy
Last semester's philanthropic endeavors proved to be both
meaningful and exciting. We supported the Greek Community's
cooperative efforts by providing participants, and lots of cheer, to Pi
Phi's Arrowbands, Delta Gamma's Anchor Slam, and Kappa Alpha
Theta's Mr. CASAnova (our pledge Charlie Litchfield came in
second).
As usual, our largest event was our Fourth Annual Spring
MusicFest, for which we employed five local bands, served food,
and raffled off several great prizes. A speaker from the ALS
Association, Matt Chaney, gained the audience's respect as he
described his experiences as a patient of the disease. We once again
raised over $700 for the Bay Area chapter of the ALS Association.
The proceeds from t-shirt and raffle ticket sales have all been
donated to the ALS Association of the Greater Bay Area. In order to

Coming from humble beginnings, I truly appreciate all that
I have. I feel blessed to have been able to return to my homeland, it
truly did feel like home there. At the same time however, I felt a
strong longing to return to the United States, to Berkeley. I missed
California Alpha and the way it also felt like home as well. The
diversity of brothers in the house has made me feel welcome. Hav-
ing brothers from various backgrounds and all walks of life has
made Cal Alpha a home away from home. I’m glad to be a part of
this chapter and look forward to continuing the diversity and tradi-
tion of respect for one another as well as the Bond.

greater accountability for the rest of the chapter. The new brothers
from spring semester are very excited to participate in recruitment,
as is the rest of the chapter. With the house completely full of
brothers for the first time in a long time, (at least as long as I've been
a brother), the excitement in the air is thick, as brothers begin to
move back into the house and preparations for official rush are
made.
Let me just say thank you to our province president, Phil
DeCarlo, and Housing Corp. for their continued support and guid-
ance. Wish us luck as we look forward to a recruitment class in the
double digits.

discussed the triumphs and shortcomings of their respective chapters
with respect to the day's topic. The third day reinforced the moral
and legal dangers of hazing. The conference culminated with a
touching story of a young man whose Greek experience ended
tragically; everyone was visibly affected.
We definitely returned this semester with an even better
attitude and more zeal than before. The experience clearly gave us a
new perspective on the fraternity, one which we are sharing with the
other brothers here.

ensure that next Spring's MusicFest is an even greater success than
those of the past, we will begin the planning and booking of acts
during the latter part of this semester.
The philanthropic spirits are high in anticipation of this
semester's activities. We will participate in the East Bay Walk to
D'Feet ALS as it has been a lot of fun in the past. In addition, thanks
to the generous creation of a Philanthropy Budget, I will be
contacting the University to help find new events for us to become
involved in. As always, if any alumni propose a philanthropic idea,
we will work our hardest to make it a reality.

 Brothers Ian Nicholson (#1297) and Evan Basakis (#1301) embarked on several hiking and camping trips during the 6
summer. Highlights included a one-day ascent of Mt. Russell, the seventh tallest peak in California at 14,088 feet.
The technically challenging climb is normally completed in two days, but Evan and Ian tackled the mountain alpine
style, starting their adventure at five in the morning. They completed the fourteen mile climb in under twelve hours.
The pair also climbed the 10,462 foot Lassen Peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park on a separate trip. Plans for
next summer include an ascent of Mt. Morrison, a peak in the Mammoth Lakes area of the Sierra Nevada range. In-
terestingly, the summit is named after Robert Morrison, albeit not the Morrison of Phi Delta Theta fame.
