Vi Tlffi OMICROD} OBSERVER Omicron of Phi Gamma Delta FINAL EDITION THE UNIVERSITY May 10, 1971 ALUMNI - UNGRAD ( COMvlUNICATION? ): May is not only a month to take exams, bounce checks, and roll, but it seems this year it's also the month to put out the final edition of something which never had a first edition. We apologize for our poor effort, this year but assure you of a recently revamped program to keep in touch on a regular schedule next year. We'd like to thank all of you v/'ho made it to Pig Dinner for your interest and support. The evening was a great success being highlighted by a speech by Rich Evans. Receivers of the annual awards were: Zimmerman Award Buck Hampson Hildreth Award Lou Costello I.M. Award Matt Hodgdon John Pegves Geoffrey Curme Peter Swart Award Best Pledge Award Though we're quite pleased with the turnout, we're planning a big week-end for Homecomings next fall, and hope that even more of you can make it back at that time. ALUIylNI FUND DRIVE: Pig Dinner marked the official opening of our Alumni Fund Drive. Though the house is in fairly good shape, there are still many things in need of improvement, I assure you this drive i_^not to raise funds for liixuries, but rather to keep oiui chapter" in existence through a critical period. Fraternities nationally are declining, and in order to put on as good a rush program as we'd like, some capital is an absolute must I Recently we've decided on a Phi Gam Scholarship Fund. On the vote of the brotherhood some brother in financial need will receive a full year's expenses for the house. The purpose of this is twofold: to help a brother who was having trouble meeting house expenses and to further the educational opportunities 01 the house. V/e are advised by competent council that contrioutions to such an organization are tax deductable. If you feel so inclined, please make checks for either the Improvement Fund or the Scholarship Program out to:""Omicron Chapter Phi Gamma Delta Educational Foimdation." CHAPTER NEVJS: (alias chapter historv) The fall rush sched-ole produced an outstanding pledge class . We are currently eign^h in I.M.'s, but our softball team, (The Phrple Machine), may take the charapionship and improve our position considerably.

ALUivlin NEWS: Because of poor communication the last few years, our files are very incomplete in the area of alumni affairs. Please help us and send some hot poop on yourselves.
