editors note: According to an interview by Bernard Martin with Roger Ritter October 9, 2022, Steve Bobonich was elected President during the Winter of 197o to take over the duties as President in the Fall of 1970. Steve Bobonich was forced to resign because he did not attend summer orientation of all organization Presidents. Steve was unable to attend as he and four guys where driving across the country to Alaska and back for the entire summer. Larry Widmar was VP and became President with Bobonich taking on the duties as VP. It was at this point that Widmer asked Roger Ritter to manage the research project to become affiliated with a national fraternity and Delta Chi was eventually selected.

From The Panther April 3, 1969
Dr. Henry Idzkowsky receives the "Order of Leonidas" Award from Stanley Stuchinski, President of Phi Delta Psi Fraternity. On Saturday, September 21, at 1 :30 P M. the first of twenty cars, pulled out of the South Hall parking lot. The cars driven and navigated by students at UPAJ began, the sixty mile road rally sponsored by SG.
By 2 :10pm every car had left the campus, each on its way along the run from Holsopple to, Westmont and through other surrounding areas of Johnstown. Though the ‘required’ competition time for the rally should have been approximately one and one-half hours, every car had a later "finishing time. The first .place car had an off "the course" time of 16 minutes, compared to the last car to come, in with an "off course" time of 120 minutes. Standing at one of the three checkpoints was Dennis Turner who helped record times for the cars. His enthusiasm after the rally was fantastic. "This rally was better than any last year. More people finished the course with closer scores.” Indeed" they did. Driver Gus Russo and his navigator Walt Neiser of car #6 narrowly won the rally over Stan Stuchinski and his navigator Jim Ference, of car #22, only because Stan and Jim pulled into the South Hall parking lot instead of going past it. Because of this small error, they lost one critical point needed to tie for first,place. That night, a victory dance was held in Laurel. Hall for all students. At 10:30 P. M. a sizeable crowd watched as prizes were given out to the rally winners. Gus Russo and Walt Neiser, both first place winners in car #6, were awarded a victory trophy. The second place winners Stan Stuchinski and Jim Ferencewere each given a cup and one dollar. Driver John Bechtold and his navigator Greg Dick of car #10 were both given a cup, for placing third in the rally. It is the intention of the Student Government to hold another car rally later on in the year. Also on the Government‘ schedule is a dance on October 18, its theme being “the Dog Patch.” Phi Delta‘ Psi Fraternity has; recently been recognized by the Interfraternity Council of the Oakland Campus, University of Pittsburgh.
Executive board members for the newly recognized fraternity include Vernon Roman, Larry Langer, Rodney Chambers, Mark Mastervich and Alan Lazar. Rush is being conducted presently. In the future it was mentioned that the fraternity hopes to merge with the national fraternity. Locally Phi Delta Psi has accepted three pledges. They are Harry Wigder, Dennis Mccough, Tony Desail.
