I TAMA / MEMS LETTER Arthur B, Beck, Editor December 15, 1959 The response to our pleas for news was most gratifying. However, we have heard from only about ten percent of those receiving the Chi Tama. Many of these interested alumni have corresponded with us in the past and though we appreciate their efforts, we would especially like to hear from those of you who have long since lost contact with Fijiland, At the present time we have a backlog of information but to continue monthly publication, we shall need a constant supply upon which to draw. Begin the New Year on the right foot, and support YOUR fraternity. CHAPTER NEWS As Christmas approaches, the brothers are anxiously awaiting vacation so they may take leave of our beloved but oft-times drafty Chapter House. The pledges endeavored to make the remaining days pleasant with a Christmas party gaining the wholehearted approval of the brothers. The Fijis also entertained a group of orphans at an afternoon Christmas gathering. Upon returning to school in January, we shall ®ake a concentrated effort to find a Purple Legionnaire, A most appreciative group of Fijis will be more than wiling to work with anyone interested in this arduous task.
