KARITAN FIJI JUNIOR PROM WEEKEND 1959 RUTGERS UNIVERSITY White Stars Gleam NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. WINTER HOLIDAY ATTRACTS FIJIS Over the weekend of January 24. fif teen Fijis supported the Rutgers Glee Club by attending the glee club- ponsored "Winter Weekend" in the luxur ious Pocono Manor Inn outside Strouds burg, Pa. Twelve brothers went stag, deciding to take advantage of the fact that many New Jersey telephone operators were weekending at the same time. Broth ers Sharp, Bauer and D'Aries. however, took no chances, and provided them selves with dates beforehand. To save money, most of us planned to arrive at the hotel on Saturday morning. "Uncle" Don Taylor, how ever, led an advance patrol of five Fijis up Friday night to check things out for the rest of us. Brother Taylor being an old ROTC major, and knowing the ins and outs of good scouting, or Sitting—Nicholas, Petrozello, Kleiiert, Frauenheim, Lehman, Barth. Second row—Janish, Baumgarten, Webb. Vecchio, Vitale, Palicka, Muller. Third row — Mudie, Pettijohn, Sedita, Meeker, Engle, Libby, Russell, Sabota, Lauten, Kowalski, Leeds. AWOL—Gordon, Benke, Anstatt, Bildcrback. FIJIS GAIN 28 TOP PLEDGES When rushing came to an end. th? Fijis had 28 neophytes to boast about. Once again the new pledges hailed from all over the country, including five different states. Joseph T. Anstatt, from Williams- town, New Jersey, is majoring in me chanical engineering. Joe played four sports in high school, including being captain of football and basketball. Joe also found time to be president of the student council and V.P. of his class. Here at Rutgers, Joe played ''rosh football and plans to play lacrosse in the spring.

Bruce Cassella set out on a patrol looking fcr girls: and Bill Anthony set out looki.rg for parties to crash; and Brother Taylor placed himself near a window with orders to yell at the first sign of snow. The two patrols were quite suc cessful; a square dance, several par ties. and a "free" room at the hotel resulting from their action. Brother Taylor, however, uttered not a peep. There was no snow all weekend. After the main force arrived Satur day morning, the action moved too fast to be reported here in its entire. We can only offer a few "scenes" of what went on; Don Taylor, who had never been on a horse before, escorting two sec retaries from the telephone company on a horseback ride.

Since that time, his life has been a succession of study, travel and friendship. Beginning work for Alcoa after graduation, Dr. Alexander soon transfered to the Board of Economic Warfare in Washington, D. C., where he compiled research on Brazil until Editorial the draft board called him to active duty. Forty-two months in the "chair corps of the Air Corps" was enough The past two issues of the Raritan Fiji have been devoted to deflating the ego of a very fine brotherhood. And perhaps this has done some good, for our scholarship, a source of embar rassment in the recent past, has great ly improved since second semester of months, he studied labor relations, concentrating half of that time in Chile collecting material for his Ph.D. last year.

Bill, and a State De partment grant, pack his fatigues, and head for South America. For thirteen Dr. Alexander received a position in the Rutgers Economics Department in 1947, was awarded his doctorate in 1950, and has since risen to an asso ciate professorship. Having always wanted to teach, Dr. Alexander pre draws his material from first-hand and recent experience. In speaking of the current mass-trials in Cuba, Dr. Alexander has commented that any one believing in capital punishment must accept the justification for such violence; the execution of Batista's cohorts is not as haphazard as one might be led to believe; the American newspaper publicity is ill-advised. Under the guidance of the State De partment, a select group of American universities has been requested to sponsor foreign students from Latin American universities. Rutgers, one of the participating schools, has on campus fifteen Argentinians who are lectured on the economic development of the U.S. and the state of our econ omy. Dr. Alexander is one of two faculty members in charge of the complete program as it pertains to this university, the purpose being to create good-will and better under standing between the two hemis pheres. As the future of Latin America and her vast store of potential unfolds be fore the world, we will undoubtedly fice.

Many neophytes will not be participating in sports on the college level; yet they are already channeling their talents to other activities to perpetuate our repu tation as being a well-round;d house. The fact that nineteen of our twentyeight pledges are out-of-staters mea-s that internal support will not suffer from week-end commuting, a prevalent weakness of many houses on campus. Suffice it to say, athletics gets its share of the limelight, but one very significant aspect of this emphasis is the spirit and cohesivene"S that varsity support and intramural participation has engendered among the brother hood. Lack of leadership has never been a failing of Nu Beta. Yet the pretty pic ture we have just painted is not qui'e complete. What then needs improve ment?

Dr. Alexan der has annually returned to Latin America, largely under the auspices of the AFL-CIO to observe and to re port the changes in political trends, more particularly as they affect labor unions, as well as the physical growth of the countries. In 1951, a source book of his, entitled The Peron Era, was published which received excel lent reviews and sold a substantial number of copies for such a work. Tvvo subsequent books, Communism in Latin America and The Bolivian Na tional Revolution, have been added to his credit to date. At present, he is awaiting publication of material gath ered in 1956, when, on a Ford Foun dation grant, he spent eight months in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile collecting data on labor relations. In 1957, Dr. Alexander was sent to Bolivia by the United States govern ment to conduct a labor seminar for the I.e.A.

Christmas formal once again established itself as the most de lightful weekend of the year. The day actually started the night before for the majority of the Fijis with Christmas tree and green expedi tions, scrubbing, waxing, and decorat ing. Organizing reigned supreme with everyone nowhere, but the job was fin ished and the stag party commenced with a roar. Brother screamed joyfully at brother as pine pitch fingers en circled glasses of beer, and a riotous revelry proceeded to extend itself into the early hours of the morning. Saturday dawned clear and cold, a modern miracle in it;elf, and the brotherhood finished the clecnup ard rearrangement of furniture. Throughout the course of the afternoon girls ar rived from all over the East and set tled themselves. The evening started with a pre-dinner cocktail party which more or less floated into a steak and champagne dinner. Another period of furniture shitting, quick changes into formal gowns and tuxedos, the arrival of the band, and the dancing began. Enjoyable breaks at the punch bowl and the ensuing coffee hour completed a memorable evening for all.

FIJIS LEAD IN KELLER RACE by Dick Howard Once again the Nu Beta Fijis are leading the field in the intramural sports race, presently owning an eight point lead over the second place Chi Psi's and determined to get the Keller Trophy, symbol of campus intramural sports supremacy, back within the halls where it resided a year ago. The house heroes, following the lead of Austin, Clark and Pulley, Inc., have done well in all sports, having par ticipated in every activity on the in tramural calendar, and placing in all of them: a fourth in cross country, a third in football, a second in volley ball, and a first in basketball. In football, the Fijis built up the second longest winning skein in the country (behind Auburn), winning 23 in a row before bowing to the Dekes underclassmen, with one or two years of competition left. In cross country. Jack Carlock, Alan Van Heuvelen, Walt Hersman, and Bob Abernethy ran for the house over the 1.9 mile course. The aggregate team total was good enough for a fourth place. This is a sport in which we had not scored points in the past few years, so the extra effort on the part of these four men was really ap preciated. All four will bo back next year. In volleyball, a new sport on the Keller Trophy program, the house reached the finals through a single e'imination tournament, in the process of beating Chi Phi, Theta Chi, and Kappa Sigma. It must be said that we did lose to the Sammies in the finals. The starting team was com posed of Walt Hersman, Ed Scott, Bill an average of 29.8 per game to their opponents 4.5. Copying Coach Stiegman's single-wing offense, the house produced three running and passing Anthony, Alan Van Heuvelan, Bob Abernethy and Dick Howard.

With Ken luso, Bruce "Rab bit" Casella, and Frankie Mencini sharing the load, and a line anchored at center by Duke D'Aries, captain and only senior on the starting ball club, the team easily ran through its league competition. A promise for the future lies in the fact that all but one man on the starting offensive club are house "A" team ran through its league schedule easily, averaging over 50 points a ball game (that's pretty good in only 20 minutes of playing time).

Representing our wrestling team, which has compiled a seven and one record to date, are Jim Sierk and Gary Van Dyke. Throughout most of the .Toason. Jim has been wrestling in the heavyweight division, competing against men up to forty pounds heavier than he. but in spite of this, he h"s performed very admirably. Now that he is back in his correct weight class —the 177 pound dividon. he will help the Scarlet team even more. One of the most consistent point pro ducers on the Rutgers swimming team has been Bob Fensteimsker. "Fensty" has been a consistent winner in th; 220 and the 440 yard freestyle events this year. While the Scarlet's basketball te:m does not have a very impressive rec ord, nevertheless it can be pointed out that the team is composed mainly of sophomores. One of these promising sophs is Walt Her man. Walt started (he season sitting on the bench, but im proved so much as the season pro gressed. that he is presently one of the starting five.

Much can be said of this ball club, for they all work ed together, with team effort provid ing the impetus Cor winning rather than one individual. This is pointed out by the fact that no one person was consistently the high scorer through out the season. In the finals it was the clutch rebounding of Hal Klug, a steady operator all season, and the clutch foul shooting of Bill Austin, nor mally the playmaker of the ball club, that carried us through in the final moments. Alumnus''Seeks Gold 111 Tliem Thar Hills' Bill Austin. Coach Twitchell has said that Bill would definitely be an AllAmcrican lacrosse repeat, though he had no experience in high school. Jay Hunton, a newcomer to the squad, will add a great deal of speed to the Rut gers attack. Two other newcomers who will supply depth to the team are A1 Van Heuvelen and John Leeds. One of the top men on the Scarlet track team last year was Bill Pulley. Bill is back again this year, and will try to better his school record in the shot put of 49 feet, 8 inches. Other Fijis on the track team are Doug Saarel in the pole vault, and Bob Gor don in the half-mile. A bright prospect in the plans of coach George Case, the baseball men tor, is Hal Klug. Hal, a former bat boy of the Cleveland Indians, was in eligible last year because of a college transfer, but is now all set to break into the starting lineup. Jim Rogers, Walt Hersman, and Bruce Casselia will also be representing Phi Gam on the baseball team. Finally, when we mention the spring sports program at Rutgers, we must not forget the crew team.
