>s K N O X THE f/A/ GALESBURG, ILLINOIS — Volume XXXIII RUSH ISSUE, 1958 No. 1 PHI GAMMA DELTA FIRST IN SCHOLARSHIP Phi Gamma Delta feels that a student's first obligation is to his school — in bearing, interest in ex tra-curricular activities, and most of all, in scholastic affairs. Over the years. Gamma Deuteron of Phi Gam ma Delta has proved that its mem bers feel the obligation must be f.Jrilled. Excepting only the scholastic terms 1956-57 since 1950, Gamma Deuteron has led the Knox fraterni ties in grades. ^ Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta ^ GAMMA DEUTERON CHAPTER Last year, the Phi 218 ScuTH Cedar Street Gams came back to tie for the lead with a 2.3/. composite grade index points higher than the all-men's aver age, and 14 points higher than the record of the non-fraternity men at Knox. The chances for continued success for Phi Gam scholars were brightened last year when the Fiji yearlings captured the pledge class trophy for high grades. Two of this year's Fiji sophomores are honor student:— John Gibas and Bruce Jackson. Be cause Bruce was pledged late in the year, the winning Fiji pledge record was compiled without his high aver age. A large number of the Fiji upperclassmen have distinguished them selves in scholastics. Three seni rs are honor students — Bill Reiners, Tom Murphy and Tom Neumiller. Murphy and Neumiller are GALESBURG. ILLINOIS of This significant figure was 15 candi dates for Phi Beta Kappa. Two juniors have maintained hon ors averages — Kent Richards and Harry Row. Row last year won the sophomore scholar - athlete trophy, and may achieve Phi Beta Kappa m his junior year. President's Welcome I would like to welcome you to what will be one of the most enjoyable aspects of your college life here at Knox — Rush Week. Gamma Deuteron Chapter of the Fraternit\' of Phi Gamma Delta has jmblished the G. D. Fiji to introduce you, the class of 1962, to our fraternity and for what we stand. As you may or may not know, the Fraternitv of Phi Gamma Delta is an international "old line fraternity.'' Founded on May 1, 1848, it is the thirteenth oldest Greek-letter society in America and has more than 45,000 living members. Recently in a national ])oll of "old line fraternities," Phi Gamma Delta ranked eightli scholastically. .Some Fijis who have attained national jiromincnce in one field or another are Calvin Coolidge, Norman Vincent Peale, Christy Mathewson, Rob Matbias, and comedian Johnny Carson. Among the 930 Phi Gams produced by Gamma Deuteron Chajiter here at Knox, we find Otto Harhach, well known librettist who wrote the lyrics to Dessert Song and many others, and Frnest Elmo Calkin.s, the dean of .American advertising. The Clieney Cu]) is awarded annually to the Phi Gam chapter which is rated first on a three-fold basis of scholarship, iiarticipation in campus affairs, and relationshi]) with the general frater nity. Among the eighty-five chapters. Gamma Deuteron placed Murphy, Richards and Row are second in this competition in 195,1 and seventh and fourth in the Baker scholars, and Row and Jack son have National Merit scholarships. The National Fraternity of Phi last two years with our eye on first place for this year. This is a brief introduction to our fraternity and Gamma Deuteron's rank in it — needless to .s;iy, we are j)roud of it. Gamma Delta is one of the first eight old guard fraternities in schol arship. One of the chief reasons for this high-ranking position is the willingness of chapters such as Gam ma Deuteron of Knox to place scholastics first in the activities of its members. Cordially yours, RON AT.D E. DUDAS President, Gamma Deuteron Chajiter Fraternitv of Phi Gamma Delta \r\nE.G. BROWN J- BROWN R.L.COX W H.CHANNON D.CAIN DOUG BROWN — English.

D. Rush Issue, 1958 FIJI FIJI CAMPUS LEADERSHIP Phi Gamma Delta has long been noted for its contributions to cam pus activities. Naturally this leads to positions of leadership in these activities. This is a banner year for the Fi.ii castle in this respect. The Student Senate is one of the most important organizations on the campus. This year Fiji's Tom Neumiller and Kent Richards are presi- dent and treasurer, respectively, of the Student Senate. The K-Club really needs no intro duction. It is composed of the letter winners in the varsity sports. Junior Brown, president and Gary Hoopes, vice-president are Fiji leaders in the K-Club. The Honor Board is the campus organization responsible for main taining and improving the honor sys tem in use at Knox. Fiji's Tom Murphy, Chairman, and Harry Row are members of this board. Friars is the senior men's honorary The Knox Fiji's have excelled in society. Eight members are electeJ each year for their outstanding con both varsity athletics and intramural tributions competition, placing them on top in athletics on the Knox campus. With genial personalities. This year three Fiji's, Junior Brown, Tom Neumiller, and Tom Murphy are Friars. Knox elects officers only for its more men in K-Club than any other fraternity and presently holding I-M cham.pionships in five sports, the Phi Gams are looking forward to an other successful year. Fiji's form the backbone of vir tually every varsity team at Knox. The football team is bolstered by starters Kent Richards, Jack Gorby, Gordy Stagg, and Junior Brown. Jim Frankowski is another letterman. Junior was given All-State Honor able Mention last year. In winter sports. Phi Gams are again prominent. Gary Hoopes and Bill Graning are returning starters cn the basketball team, and Junior Brown is a reserve letterman. Sopho more J. B. White is another varsity basketball man.

Fiji's form the nucleus of the wrestl ing team, with lettermen Harry Row, freshman to Knox and and senior their classes. con This year, Tom Murphy is president of the senior class, and Doug Brown is treasurer of the senior class.

Cadets are elected by the members of Scab bard and Blade from those cadets who have maintained high standards in the classroom.

Fiji Doug Brown is president of Cur tain Call for this year. A rough idea of the leadership potential of Phi Gamma Delta can be gained from these survey's of Kent Richards, and the conference some of the leading campus organi zations. Phi swimming team includes Fiji letter- out a men Byron Roszell, Dave Shanley, Knox College. and Jim Tarbox, as well as sopho more Dave Grout. Byron holds the .school recoi'd in the 2C0 yard breast .sti'oke. Turning to spring sports, Fiji Jun ior Brown led the varsity baseball team in batting, home runs, and RBI's. Other lettermen are Eddie Moore, who led the team in hits, and Ted Galovich, who led the team in walks. Sophomores John Gibas and Jack Gorby will be playing var sity ball this spring. The varsiiy tennis team included lettermen Har- I'V Row and Gary Hoopes. Harry, playing three man, went to the con ference semi-finals. .Terry Hudgens and In track, both Kent Richards broke St. Ambrose meet records last .spi'ing. Continued leadership in varsit.v athletics is expected, as seven of the sophomore class were fresh man numeral winners. In intramurals, the Fiji's hold trophys in five of the twelve sports and have won the only two team I-M championships which have been de termined this fall. It looks good year for Fiji athletics. like a To relieve the boredom of routine school life we set aside three night", of the year to formally party. The football season sees the She Gam party, winter the Rose Formal and spring the Fiji Island party. Fiji girls are not kept ignorant of what fraternity pledgeship is. Every fall new girls are initiated into She Gamma Delta. Pledging, "help week," and intiation are all compressed into two days to make this autumn weekend one of the most hilarious of the year. The haz ing is carried on by the brothers and She Gams of past years. The climax comes with initation followed by a big party on Saturday night. Winter brings with it our only formal dance of the year. The Rose Formal is the traditional formal which adds dignity to our social pro gram. Roses, boutonieres and pol ished black sboes give this dance a distinct flavor of its own. Blade. champion Bill Reiners. The varsity Parties At Fiji House doubt Gamma Delta is with first in leadership at In spring comes the incomparable Fiji Island party. Fijis take on the garb of South Pacific islanders for this traditional party. A national Fiji tradition, the Fiji Island party is perhaps the most famous frater nity party in colleges all over the country. Sarongs, palms, bamboo and unusual food produce an exotic atmosphere which social interaction. lends itself to
