For the first time in several years we will be ex periencing an increase in total membership despite the loss of our graduating seniors. This increase, in addition to offering extended friendships and interests within the house, will broaden the financial base of the chapter and allow us to offer improved activities both to our undergraduate members and to you, the graduates. During the past year the Chapter has been somewhat inward-looking, but I believe this intro spection has produced a new strength which will be revealed in in^roved graduateundergraduate relations and greater fraternity in the Chapter itself. PERGEJ Fraternally, William C. Petryk, Cfnpter President On May 3 the Chapter initiated eleven new Brothers. They are: Carl F. Bbbkoaki, Barrington, Illinois; Douglas Carden. Denver, Colorado; Michael Dotsey. Fireeh
