Our thanks go to our very capable house manager, Bob Cresap, '63. Steve Booth '64 also did an outstanding job as rush chairman, as we pledged thirteen men' this fall, Scholastically, our Spring semester house average was a great improvement over our efforts last Fall, and we have made various changes in our scholarship program in hopes of stimulating further improvement this Fall, On October 13th, Phil Durbrow '64, Pebble Beach; Steve Robertson '65, San Fran cisco; and Bob Urrea '63, San Francisco, were duly initiated into the active chapter. We would like to express our thanks to those of you who contributed to the alumni dues program last year. We collected nearly one thousand dollars, by far the greatest amount since the program was initiated. This money covered the majority of the cost of printing and mailing last years issues of the "Norris Fiji", and we hope that in the future the dues will cover the entire cost. Last year we had less than forty alumns at the "Pi g Dinner", which, needless to say, is very disappointing, since the "Pig" was founded at Delta Xi, This year we are going all out to make the dinner a memorable event, and we hope to have two hundred alumni in attendance. Working with the Alumni Advisors, we have set the date for March 23rd, which happens also to be University Charter Day. Jim Lang, well-known disc-jockey on KSFO and brother Phi Gam, has agreed to be master of ceremonies. We are planning to ask a member of each graduating class to be responsible for getting his brothers here for the "Pig", We will give you more information in the next issue of the "Norris Fiji", but remember the date and plan to be there. If you are planning to come to the Big Game, we cordially invite all of you to attend the biennial luncheon sponsored by the Mother's Club, The buffet luncheon will begin at eleven-thirty, Dr op by anytime!!! Alumnus Personality; (Continued from Page 1) RANDOLPH SEVEIR '23, LEADER IN MARITIME INDUSTRY, But he was quickly tapped for promotion as assistant freight clerk for a Matson ship on the Honolulu run. After three years at sea, he settled in Hilo to run a bus company on the island of Hawaii. The tourist boom was just starting, and not only Matson but the then-rival Los Angeles Steamship Co. was pouring sightseers into Hilo The problem was to get them up to the rim of the island's volcano and over to the picturesque coffee belt at Kona. Within a couple of years, Sevier had the Hawaiian Transportation Company overhauled, re-equipped, and making money, starting as manager and becoming, successively; vice president, general manger and director. In 1930, Castle and Cooke,Ltd,, the Honolulu freight traffic agent for Matson, sent for him and during the next decade and a half he climbed steadily up that company's ladder, working almost entirely on the solving of waterfront problemis. By 1935 he had been elected a director; in 1937, he was appointed president and director of Castle and Cooke Terminals, and in 1944, he became the company's vice-president. In 1948, he was named executive vice-president of Matson, and returned to San Fran Cisco, becoming president on July 1, 1950, a position he held for twelve years until re tirement.
