There were very few of the brothers who ,^.i in.i.r informed of how things are actu ally going back at Chi Iota, I will continue to write a column in each issue of the Illinois Fiji. To get an honest picture of how efficiently the chapter is running, I encour love for the Chicago Cubs, Charlie age you to read these articles. We kept quite busy. Regardless of the time of day or the problems of the realize how important alumni sup poration for the redecorating that Studebaker was done on the house this sum You could al most tell time by Charlie for, re gardless of the weather, he would come "putting" into the Fiji park ing lot right in time with the seven o'clock chimes at Altgeld Hall. Charlie usually finished his work by mid-morning so he could help Hazel, our cook, get set up for lunch. He started early, but left right after lunch so he could get home to hear his beloved Cubs on ihe radio. They might never "nave won a pennant during Charlie's time, but he sure cheered for them up to the last game of every sea mer. Everything was done that we asked for last spring; the down stairs was recarpeted and painted and the old chapter room was ren ovated for use as a seminar room and recreation room. The house looks extremely nice and was a tremendous help during formal rush. We now have one of the best physical plants on campus, and are no longer reluctant to invite guests to the chapter house. This year started out by pledging 17 outstanding men during formal rush. Twelve of these seventeen son, and one could hardly ever de tect a word of pessimism when he were in the upper quarter of their high school graduating class. Since talked formal rush we have pledged three of them. When Charlie retired last year, the chapter decided to have a din ner honoring him and the work he has done for Phi Gamma Delta. Homecoming of this year was des ignated for that purpose but Char lie took sick early this fall and was unable to be in attendance. His de n port is, and will try to boost your active support by keeping you ac curately informed.

Secondly, we require our pledges to study under supervision of an active from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. ev ery night in our new seminar room. A third step we've taken is to have the pledges follow a schedule that requires them to study a min imum of two hours per week for every credit hour. Along with these three steps, we have taken the usu al steps to keep the house quiet during study hours and give the pledges as much help as possible. I don't think that the results will be immediate, but I do think you will see a trend towards consistently higher scholarship due to our more selective rushing.

A program now before the InterFraternity Council urges Greek houses to hit the books instead of pledges' posteriors. "We want fraternities to em and it's the fraternity's obliga to make the pledge feel more like tion to help them adjust to fra ternity life," Cox noted. The adjustment, he indicated, an individual and less like a num doesn't come at the end of a paddle. There has been some speculation that the fraternity system was on the decline on campuses all over phasize scholarship and character- the nation. At the UI, there are building and concentrate less on roughly 2,500 fraternity members. 'There are a lot of misconcep tions about the fraternity system, and especially about their pledge physical harassment," explains Dyke Cox of Sigma Chi, the I-F pledge chairman. His committee has recommended a pledge training program for each chapter on the UI campus which emphasizes maturity in fra ternities. "There's been a lot of criticism leveled at fraternities for their pledge programs and poor schol arship on the part of freshmen. The new students today are changed; they're more mature. Chi lofa Wins 2nd Straight All-IM 1st Place Award programs. It's up to the house to clear tiiese up," Cox declared. A freshman orientation program, to continue through the first eight weeks of the first semester^ has been set up in connection with the petition this past year for the sec ond year in a row. Total points received were 368; second place was won by Phi Epsilon Pi with 334. Championships were won in football, swimming, waterpolo, basketball, gymnastics, baseball, and ping pong. Prospects look good for the present year, with the Fijis already taking the lead in total points with a championship in swimming, league victory in foot that whatever scholastic habits a freshman pick's up his first semester usually follow him through college. Fraternities need to help pledges lay the founda tions for sound scholarship in their first year," he added. While discussing these lofty goals. Cox is also realistic. He acknowledges that some houses will continue to harass pledges and make the supposedly abolished Hell Week a continuing institution.
