UNDERGRADUATE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE For the last three years the attendance at the Pig Dinner has been disappointing both to the undergraduate chapter and to the grad Bob Schlieman '63 this, we sent a letter to one brother in each graduated class with the names and addresses of his classmates, asking him to contact each uate brothers who did attend. From talking one of them. If each brother who is planning to several graduates, I have learned that the to come would fill his car with graduates, we would have a huge crowd here on March 23rd. There are nearly 900 Fijis in the San one primary reason a brother doesn't plan to attend the "Pig" is that he doesn't know who will be there, and, in particular, if the Francisco -Oakland Bay Area alone, many brothers he knew in school are planning to of whom are not from our chapter and not on our mailing list. Whenever you run across come. In order to try to find a solution to (continued on page 2 ) \r\nPage 2 February, 1963 THE NORRIS FIJI John B. Bowker '45 UNDFRGRADUATE PRESIDENT... (continued from page i) Nathaniel Bradley '40 Edward D. Bronson '17 a Fiji, please spread the word. We would like to express our gratitude to the many brothers who support the vol untary dues program. This enables us to send you the"Norris Fiji". It is our hope that in the near future the dues program will cover the entire publication costs. There are a number of graduate brothers who cortribute a great deal of time and effort to the undergraduate Chapter and to whom we owe many thanks. I would , at this time,like to single out one person, Mike Dakis '51, who became Purple Legionaire in the fall of 1961. Mike has spent many hours at the house work ing with both the pledge class and the cabinet. I feel one of our main problems is continuity and having become well informed on all of our problems, brother Dakis is a valuable link between cabinets. For his help this year the chapter is deeply grateful. See you all on March 23rd! 1 CLASS OF '52, '49, '28, and '29 LEAD IN GRADUATE DUES RESPONSE; NOT TOO LATE Richard D. Brooding '49 Douglas N.

Jim started in radio on a dare and became host of a teen-age deejay show at 16. He liked broadcasting and majored in radio-TV at the As an undergraduate, Fred was rush chairman for the chapter and participated in campus activities. Upon his being graduated from Cal, he enrolled at Hastings College of Law and in 1933 embarked upon his legal career. His office is in the Latham Sq. Bldg. in Oakland. Fred is a member of the Athenian-Nile and the Sequoia Country Club. He is an ardent golfer. He and his wife, Geraldine, have five children; Kurt, 21; Sarah, 19; Steve, 17; Bette, 13 and Tom, 9. The family lives at 101 Bonita Ave. Piedmont. Univ. of Minn, graduating cum laude in 1954. In 1958 Lange moved to San Francisco and took over early morning chores at KGO. Jim's easy-going pace has been hailed by listeners and critics as refreshing. Recently, he was featured in a Pageant Magazine article on deejays the only Northern California personality to be saluted.

SAN FRANCISCO GRADUATE CHAPTER meets every Friday at noon at the Flytrap, 73 Sutler St. \r\nPage 4 THE NORRIS FIJI February, 1963 CLASS OF 1963-PROFILFS June, 1963, may well mark an event as important to the business world as were the stock market crash of 1929 and the invention of the non-smear eraser. In this month, entrepreneurial opportunity will reach a level heretofore considered unattainable. It is therefore fitting that our graduate brothers should be given advance notice of the event so that they might be well prepared for its effect. It will be in this month that certain men of Delta Xi, either with or without diploma, will terminate their college careers and offer their talents to the enterprises of the world. It i s our aim to list briefly the qualifications and traits of these men so that every Phi Gam'grad' will have ample time to plan a course of action to lure one of these veri table gold mines into his business concern. Taking the group as a whole, it may be said with no small amount of pride that the caliber of 1963's class is no less sterling than that of similar groups which have received their training at Delta Xi in years past. Alphabetically, the first of the young lions is Bob Cresap, who served a year and a half as house manager and is now managing his own house. "Saps" is readily distinguishable by his loud and boisterous manner and is reverently referred to as one of the "animals." Dick Dale is noted for his ability to make a decision and stick to it as is shown by choice of major in school, choice of girl.friends,choice of color of tennis shoes, and choice of table at Jule's. "Dick" has been one of the most serious members of Delta Xi and is currently con sidering missionary work, possible in Wadsworth, Nevada. Next is Goose who has been a guest of Delta Xi for several semesters. He strongly ad vises any entering freshman to major in engineering because, according to him, it is "one of the biggest mickies in the school". Goose is constantly being mistaken for his perfect double, Tom Kruse who, unlike Goose, is often found in the local pubs. Goose at the moment is con sidering entering the field of precision watchmaking. John Griffith is easily the most predictable of this year's class. His every move is well planned and premeditated. He would probably make an excellent doctor but has never given the field of medicine serious consideration. John has long desired to conduct a study of the American Indian which he would entitle "Redman looks at the redmen," He will most likely make his mark in the gardening business as he has become an expert at turning over new leaves. G. Malcom Leiser has set his sights on politics, having become interested in the field by being elected to two different house offices. Mai is regarded as one of the more kindly brothers and shows grezA interest also in the social welfare racket. He plans to explore further the possibility of giving aid to minority groups. Stephen C. Lyon is famous for his temperance and conservatism. Affectionately known as Jeb, he is a great admirer of the late Demosthenes of Greece and will probably enter the field of public speaking. Jeb has already made his mark in the business world with his purchase of the Becker's Brewing Co. W. Pickens McCarty is currently considering graduate work in history at the University so that he might fulfill his ambition of becoming a T. A. for history 101. Bill is noted primarily for his neatness, punctuality, and memory. He is well suited for a night watchman's position as he has the uncanny ability to stay awake days on end. Frederick M.Nicholas has decided to give the University a break and return for another semester. He has periodically taken vacations to such picturesque spots as South America and Menlo J. C. "Mort" will probably make his fortune by bartending at the Kingfish. Robert W. Schlieman is eyeing a movie career and is currently trying to grow a Yul Brynner haircut. He also entertains hopes of obtaining a fellowship to Brazil where he could more effectively conduct his study of the reactions of the human body to excessive amounts of coffee.

Help us to make this the biggest and best Pig Dinner ever held at Delta Xi. ************************************************************* \r\nFebruary, 1963 Page 5 THE NORRIS FIJI '63 PROFILES (continued from page 4) Bob Urrea is renowned for his Russian River fly-by-nights during which, he claims, much good booking is accomplished. Considerable doubt is cast upon this claim, however, by the grin on his sweeties's face which seems to say "anything Bob says is right" Bob hopes some day to become a physician and has conducted much undergraduate study of the human body. Last and in many ways least is Nick Bizzzzony. He is always last in the alphabet due to the letter Z which is emblazoned on his forehead. Nick is currently sporting a Gary Grant haircut and has hopes of becoming a welcome-wagon man. His other desire is to pass the state bar exam, a feat which he should have no trouble in accomplishing as he has piled up much experience in the field. He is, in fact, so confident of passing the exam that he has already hung out his shingle. OVER 10 MILLION ON THE DRAWING BOARDS OF FRANK B. HUNT'39, A. I. A. The architectural firm of Kitchen and Hunt, A. I. A. have buildings under construction on the Davis campus of the University totaling three and three-fourths million dollars. This includes a large addition to the Library, a Nuclear Laboratory and a Residence Hall for 600 students. The residence halls are being designed in association with San Francisco, architect John Funk. An $800,000 Animal Bioradiological Laboratory is under construction at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley. On the drawing boards for the new Ala- meda County State College at Hayward is a two and one-fourth million music classroom building. The offices for the Stauffer Chemical Co. in the new San Francisco Hartford building as well as a number of smaller commercial and residential offices are also in the planning stage of the firm. Mike's business address is 40 1st St., in San Francisco. He makes his home at 56 Roble Road, Berkeley 5. :{
