Things got off to a good start for second semester. Our basket ball team led by Dean Swift '66 of Glen Ellyn and Phil Knell '63 of Mahomet is doing quite well and has an excellent chance of making its way to the finals. We also have a good nucleus for our bowling team. Several men have an average above 175 ppg.

We feel confindent that these new brothers will be a great asset to our chapter. Many of them distinguished themselves as pledges in extra curricular activities. Tom Homer from Canton was voted best pledge by the undergraduate chapter. Chuck Lauer from Chicago, John Meara from Blooimington, Chad Swain from St. Charles, Tom Haskins from Flora, Tom Homer from Canton and others have been active on our I-M teams. John DeVos of Moline, a member of our championship water polo team, has established himself as one of the best photographers on cam pus. Others are joining activities, too, now that they have weathered that hectic first semester. We wish you well—each and every one—and we welcome you into the distinguished ranks of Chi Iota Chapter, Phi Gamma Delta. \r\n^April, 1966 THE ILLINOIS FIJI Page Three Kaps of the Gavel; rsews of Phi Gams Huck Hindsley Named Cashier at Northern Trust in Chicago Harold E.

Brown '67, Kirkwood, Mo. Recently, I was reminded of a basic principle with which I know all of you are familiar. The principle is that the University fosters the exis tence of Phi Gamma Delta. The converse of this proposition would cer tainly mean little, for the goals and ideals upon which Phi Gamma Delta was founded would be nebulous without the University. Today's colleges and universities have been subjected to dynamic change within recent years. The University of Illinois, alone, has grown at the rate of 1,000 students per year during the last fifteen years. Such growth necessitates a vast change in the structure of the University. If fraternities are to continue as an integral part of the University structure, they must remain flexible. But, the fact that fraternities mu^ (see continuatiofl of this article on page 4) Pig Dinner May 7 tions.

We hope you enjoy your travels and that Chi lota's who might be in either of those areas on those dates will give you a call. Happy Hunting! JOHN J. (JACK) FAISSLER '28 (continued from page 3) traditions—will we grow weaker. That Phi Gamma Delta is now, as it has been in the past, one of the strongest fraternities on the University of Illinois campus will be con tested by no one. But, it seems safe to conclude that Chi Iota is vastly different from the fraternity you remember from thirty, fifteen, or even five years ago. I've heard many a graduate brother say, "Chi Iota is still a 'top' house, but it sure isn't what it used to be." If it were, we wouldn't be tops today. And, I feel safe in saying that the Chi Iota of today won't fit the image of a top fraternity fifteen years fro,m now. The fact is that if we're to remain strong, we've got to retain the ability to change. For the Future Since entering office, one of the major goals of association president Roy Hoppe and myself has been to establish closer graduate relations. We have already made excellent headway in pursuit of this goal. First, Mr. Hoppe has announced that'the Phi Gamma Delta Associa (69 W. Washington St. in Chicago) tion board will meet bi-monthly instead of the traditional two times a writes; year. "My wife and I spent a few days last November with the brotherg on the island of Viti Levu, Fiji Islands (ED; that's the real South Pacific, man!). It's a beau tiful place and the brothers were Second, Dale Bruce—National Graduate Secretary—recently held a meeting at the chapter house to start a Champaign-Urbana graduate Chapter (ED;—see story elsewhere in this issue). I am convinced that only through closer graduate relations can the alumni learn and help the undergraduates with the special problems that face Phi Gamma Delta today. \r\nApril, 1966 THE ILLINOIS FIJI W.

Now, as The Wellingtons, they are heard each Thursday evening singing the musical theme material that opens and closes the CBS-TV show "Gilligan's Island." The Welling tons also recently concluded a series of appearances on the AB,C-TV musical show "Shindig." Ever since they left the Champaign-Urbana area, The Wellingtons have been trying new things, expanding and branching out. They hit big in recording circles, made a good showing on the night club circuit, then they got several opportunities to appear and sing on various network TV programs, and now they're even trying acting! They made their acting debut earlier this year in the "Don't Bug The Mosquitos" episode of the CBS-TV series "Gilligan's Island." George and his cohorts, Kirby Johnson and Ed Wade (both lllini '62) spent the Christmas holidays in Korea where they entertained service personnel, assisted by two dancers from the "Shindig" show and a former member of the Christy Minstrels—another and larger singing group that is also seen quite regularly on network TV.

On their return to the United States in January, The Wellingtons taped the concluding "Shindig" show (lED:—it is now out of the network TV pro gram lineup) and set to work recording their first album for United Artists. A new single "Go Ahead and Cry" has recently been released. When George Patterson and Ed Wade (both from Champaign) and Kirby Johnson (from Byron) first began to entertain together, they called themselves the Continentals—it was under that name that they obtained their first professional dates. In the summer of 1962 when the group was working in Estes Park, Colorado, they met a friend of Donna Conkling (one of the original King Sisters) and after working their way to the West .Coast, they were invited to sing at a party given by Mrs. Conkling for bandleader and TV performer Alvino Ray. Before the party was over. The Wellingtons had a contract for a six-week engagement at the Disneyland Hotel. Their appearance there led, in turn, to guest appear ances on television and to dates in supper cluljs. While playing at Lake Tahoe, they were seen by Donald O'Connor (who was then preparing a night club act). O'Connor—a onetime resident of Danville, 111.—signed them to appear with him and they found him to be "a wonderful teacher" who gave them the opportunity to appear in such famous spots as the Cocoanut Grove, the Royal Box in the Americana Hotel in New York and the Congo Room of the Sahara in Las Vegas. The Wellingtons also play several instruments and enjoy singing many kinds of songs. As Fiji brother Patterson has said, their aim is "to be respected and well thought of—one of the best." Fiji men everywhere wish you well George, and we hope the future holds nothing but the best for "The Wellingtons! \r\nkApril, 1966 THE ILLINOIS FIJI Netv Addresses For Alumni of Chi Iota BOSEN APPOINTED Word has come in to The Fiji that Nicholas J.

Campuses by 1980 The most serious issue before the University of Illinois is one that really confronts the people of Illinois—how to build enrollment capacity for the accelerating num bers of qualified young people who seek a college education at all levels. President David D. Henry said in his 1965 "State of the Uni versity" message. The Master Plan for Higher Edu cation in Illinois, as adopted by the Board of Higher Education, was built upon studies which pro jected college attendance in rela tionship to the college-age popula tion. Enrollment Will Double "By this calculation, college en rollments for the state will more than double between 1963 and 1980," President Henry said. "Where there were 243,000 students in 1963 attending all institutions- private and public, junior and de gree-granting—there will be 162,000 more in 1970—if there is room; and 333,000 more in 1980." The Master Plan studies pro jected a 96 per cent increase in public junior colleges by 1970 and a 41 per cent increase in private institutions. The enrollment in pub lic universities is estimated as 142,407 in 1970 and 209,157 in 1980, increases of 74 per cent and 155 per cent, respectively.
