This issue of The Emerald highlights inspiring personal accomplishments of our alumni that

Tim Leslie Draws
Two Lines on
the Battlefield
Fraternity brother runs for Lieutenant
Governor of California while fighting cancer
tate Senator Tim Leslie (BO, CSU-Long
Beach '63) has announced that he will
run for Lieutenant Governor of California
in the upcoming election. Brother Leslie has
been a California State Senator since 1991.
Before joining the Senate, he was elected to
the State Assembly in 1987 and made an immediate impression on his peers. As an
As.semblyman, he founded the Community
Action Against Drug Abuse program which outlawed the public sale of drug paraphernalia.
He also held a position on the Governor's
Advisory Committee on Drug Abuse.
Over the past 11 years, Brother Leslie has
earned the reputation as a tenacious and pragmatic lawmaker with an anti-tax, pro-family
and pro-business focus. He has served as the
vice-chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee and the Senate Judiciary
Committee. Since his election to the Senate in
1991, he has been recognized as the
"Legislator of the Year" by the Sacramento
County Taxpayers' League and was presented
the "Hang Tough Award" presented by the
National Tax Limitation Committee.
Brother Leslie has authored legislation to
impose the death penalty on felons convicted
S
f

Pi f'ratemity, !11tmwtional
age of fourteen. He was also
the principal co-author of
"Mega n's Law" whi ch
requires law enforcement offi cial to notify the
public of the identity and location of convicted
sex offender . In addi tion to protecting the
public, one of his top priorities has been education. He co-authored legislation to prohibit
teachers convicted of felony sexual assault or
drug offenses from returning to the classroom.
One of his latest accomplishments is the Teen
Driver Safety Act of 1997 which establishes
tough new guidelines for first year drivers.
Brother Leslie is running for Lieutenant
Governor because "values still matter." As lieutenant governor, he is seeking to have a positive impact in the areas of education, trade and
the overall business climate. He is excited
about the opportunities before him and has
promised that to be a lieutenant governor who
advocates a new kind of government, "smaller,
better managed and much closer to home."
While Brother Leslie battles for the people
of his district daily, he faces his own personal
battle with cancer. In April of 1997, he was
diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare form
of cancer which causes the body to produce a
high level of plasma which affects the body'
ability to produce red and white blood cells. He
had recovered from a similar condition in 1984.
Despite his ailment Brother Leslie has continued campaigning stating that he foresees no
rea on not to continue. The support he has
received from the constituents in his district
has kept the Leslie family's hopes high, and
they expect nothing but a complete remis ion.
By remaining active and strong throughout
treatment, he hopes to encourage others that
are also battling cancer. "I hope that through
my positive attitude and ultimate success in
beating cancer, I can be a po itive motivator
for others who have been similarly diagnosed
by showing them that cancer is not a death
entence."
On December 26, 1997, Brother Leslie had a
procedure performed at Stanford University
Medical Center that reinserted his own treated
blood cells back into his bone marrow. While it
is too soon to conf1rm that this procedure was
100 percent successful, the treatment went
very well and his white blood cell count i
expected to increase.
The Fraternity extends its be t wishe for a
speedy recovery to Brother Leslie as he pursues this opportunity. If you are interested in
wishing Brother Leslie well you can contact

The Se ond
e Around
Ted Stone pauses in front of the Louisiana State
Capitol Building where he was presented with a
Proclamation ofAppreciation from Governor
Mike Foste1:
his Spring, Ted G. Stone, AN, (Wake
Forest '56) will embark on his second walk across America to speak out
on the dang ers of drug abuse.
Brother Stone, 62, a former amphetamine
addict, made a similar 3,600 mile trip in
1996 from Washington, DC, to Los Angeles.
The 1998 trip is scheduled to begin after
Easter in San Francisco CA, and will conclude at the end of October in Washington,
DC. Brother Stone will walk an average of
25 miles a day. He will drive up to 150 miles
off his route to speak.
During his last trip, Brother Stone spoke
to approximately 200 audiences about the
changes society must make in order to correct the problems caused by drug abuse.
"My dream is that one day our children and
our children's children can live in a society
free from this terrible drug problem that
plagues our country today," Stone said.
As Brother Stone walks across America
he can b seen carrying an American flag

with him wherever he goes. This trip i a
symbol of his patriotism as much a it i
educational. "America is the land of econd
chances, God gave me a second chance and
people did too."
Brother Stone was addicted to amphetamines during the early 1970's and was incarcerated for four years. He attributes his
recovery to God and has become dedicated
to preventing others from making similar
mistakes.
"There is nothing pretty about the drug
scene," Stone said, "I am a harned of my
past, but proud of the drug-free life tyle I
adopted years ago after my clo e bru h with
total disaster."

more media attention on thi continuing
problem and reach more people with his
message.
''The excellent coverage by the media all
along the route allowed me to reach countless people with the message of hope," he
aid. "People I could have never reached by
speaking."
Brother Stone said financing the trip
was tough. He estimated that the trip would
cost around $25,000 but the ftnal total was
approximately $32,000.
"I tried to earn my own way by speaking,
sort of like Paul and his tent making. I was
not sponsored for the trip. New Balance did
furnish the shoes and I was grateful for
reduced rates at some Holiday Inns."
"I am deep ly grateful to my fri ends
whose contributions helped get us started
on the journey and to the churches along
the way, whose love offerings along the way
sustained us until we reached
our fin al destination," Stone
said.
"The success of the walk cannot be measured in dollars. The
whole purpose of the walk was
to deliver a message of hope to
hurting Americans and to make
a-mark for good in our country's
battle against drug abuse."
His past efforts have not
go ne un not iced by the
American pu bli c. Brother
Sto ne has met with for mer
First Lady Betty Fo rd , an d
three governors, including Gov.
Geo rge Bu sh (TX). Brother
Sto ne's most rece nt acco mpli hm ent was in Du rham
County, North Carolina, where
he succeed in having December
24th and 25th, 1997, declared
as Sobriety Days. He has also
formed a strong local organization, Citizens United To Fight
Drug Abuse, designed to help
rid Durham County of Drugs.
In addition, on March 11,
1997, US Senator Lauch
Faircloth made an entry into
the Co ngressional Reco rd
regardin g his efforts. "Ted
Stone is a great American who
is workin g to show all
Americans that an individual
can make a difference in the
war against drug abuse."
His real reward comes from the people
he meets along his route. One of his favorite
memories is of a 16-year-old boy who said
after a presentation at a Dallas summ er
camp, "Ted, what you said has changed my
life fo rever."
"That made my whole trip worthwhile,"
Stone said.
Brother Stone fon dly rememb ers his
days at Alpha-Nu and how they opened his
eyes to the world. He often refers to them as
the best part of his life. "I believe we are
our brother's keeper, and I hope that this
can show (the members of) Sigma Pi that
we really are."
He enco urages brot hers around the
country to visit him along his route and to
hear him speak. Currently the route is not
finalized; when it is, however, it will be posted on his publisher's intern et site at:

A Great Loss
On November 1, 1997, Christopher Michael Brown, 22, of Epsilon Pi
Chapter at Christopher Newport University was killed in a car accident.
He was laid to rest in his hometown of Staunton, Virginia on November
4th, 1997.
Chris was initiated into Epsilon Pi Chapter on April 28th, 1994.
During his three years, he held the positions of Rush Chairman and
Pledge Educator. Chris' contributio n to the fraternity went far beyond
these two positions.Chris not only loved his fraternity, he loved life. Chris
was full of life and truly took advantage of what it had to offer him.
He left a tremendous impact on his fraternity and on his university.
As news of his death circulated around campus the chapter began organizing a candlelight vigil. Over 150 students and administrators came
together to say good-bye to a frie nd and a brother. That night, everyone
reflected and shared the impact that Chris had on their lives. As the vigil
came to a close the chapter circled together and sang the fireside song:
Long may she live and may there be; '!'rue fellowship Eternally, Once
more we pledge our loyalty to Sigma Pi Fraternity.
After the funeral, all of the brothers went back to Chris's house
where they presented Chris' mom with a plaque honoring her son and a
sweatshirt with letters, symbolizing the fraternity's desire to make her
Epsilon -Pi's chapter mother.
As symbol of brotherhood, the chapter placed a purple cross with his
name carved in white and a plaque bearing the creed at mile post 143 on
Interstate 64, the site of the accident. As the cross was placed into the
ground the brothers gathered one final time to offer their prayers and to
say good-bye.
Seeing my brothers living up to everything that Sigma Pi and brotherhood stand for was truly something that cannot be put into words.
Throughout our pledgeship we are taught the tenants of brotherhood and
what it means to be a Sigma Pi. To actually witness it and be a part of it,
is an awesome experience. I have never been prouder of my chapter or of
being a Sigma Pi.
