Three weeks before Christmas we put up dec orations in downtown Moscow. This entailed our getting up at an un-godly 6:00 a.m., which most everyone did with very few complaints. It was a typin cal December day in Moscow, wet and cold, but the work went fast and effi ciently. Our job entailed checking the lights on the wire Christmas trees and then taking them out to the various lightposts along Moscow's Main street. Then with ladders, wires and a good pair of gloves we proceeded to put them up on the lightposts. The job was com pleted with a crew to plug in the lights and tape the connections. The Girl Scouts were on hand with donuts and hot coffee, which was just the shot in the arm that we needed. All in all the entire project lasted from 7:00 a.m. until 12 noon. The support was terrific as we had really more people than were needed. The spirit could be seen even though it was a bitterly cold day. I think everyone felt a sense of satis faction that one gets by doing some thing for others. Later, after Christmas, we finished our job by taking the trees down. We had the famous, or infamous, Fiji milk truck and it was as easy as picking cherries. Our second project was our Chirstmas party for twenty orphans from the Home in Lewiston. We brought the or phans up to the house and treated them The purpose of the present fund drive is to raise money for the renovation of the old edition of our chapter house. This will include remodeling of all the rooms on the second floor plus redecoration of the dining room, living room, and library. It is estimated that approximately $50,000 is needed to carry out this project. Figures to date show that approximately 20 per cent of this total is now in. The bulk of the organizing for this drive is being done by Glenn Owen, '36, who is now in the process of locating all the alums and making a complete file as to pledge class and present address. This has been necessary since there were many errors on the lists sent out by the National.

We have remained high in total points all year and at the present are in fifth place over-all. However, we have a good chance at first place with two of our strongest events, softball and track, awaiting us in the spring. We began our spirited assault on the intramural trophy in the fall with foot ball season. The opening game with the Betas was a thriller as we defeated them in a close 6-0 ball game. We were defeated by a fine TKE team, 8-6, but went through the rest of the regular season without a loss. In the Greek playoffs we lost to the Betas, 14-13, but turned around to defeat a strong ATO squad, 18-0, ending our season with a 9-2 record. The team was lead offen sively by Bob Lantz, Rick Mallery, Larry Jerread and Bob Erickson. Dis playing a strong defensive team, the Fijis held opponents to 30 points. Flying Club.

Bob Pene, a senior in Advertising, led the house Alive and Active On February 6, Mu Iota hosted the 1966 Section Convention. Attending were member delegates from the Uni versity of Idaho, University of Oregon, Oregon State University, University of Washington, Washin^on State Univer sity, University of British Columbia, and the Delta Colony at the University of Puget Sound. Mr. Don Johnson and Mr. Dick Sampson, Section Chiefs of sections 9 and 11, discussed the nation al policies of the fraternity.

Grades are looking very good this second semester and, with a little work, we hope to take first or second in grades at the end of the year.—Rich Vance. Also attending was Mu lota's Purple Legionnaire, Mr. Tom Edwards. The main purpose of the convention was to discuss problems existing in the individual chapters, and problems ex isting between the individual chapters and the national fraternity. We of Mu Iota feel that the convention was a great success, not only because there were good ideas and stimulating discus sions, but because it gave the delegates an opportunity to associate with other students from other universities. We enjoyed having these men visit Mu Iota and we hope that they enjoyed their stay. PHI GAMMA DELTA 1757 N.Street, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C. ALUMS SEND IN YOUR BEST EXPERIENCES AT "OLD PHI" OR YOUR CURRENT ONES, SO WE CAN LET THE BROTHERS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING What are the past trophy winners doing on campus this year? Absolutely nothing! In fact, H. T. Denton, prob ably the biggest Tau Iota Tau of all time, isn't even on the campus any more. He and his talented fingers have turned to banking. Perhaps he can make enough money to pay his past housebills and have enough left over for a corset and some new nylons. Tim Flood, "Puddles" to his friends, has finally outgrown his bed wetting stage and has turned to thumb sucking. Bob McCray, '64 winner, is kept busy not only trying to be like his idol. Rich Vance, but also by attempting to be a jock. Rich "Blinky" Vance, last year's ad dition to the immortal group is making his bid for an all-time award. Blinky has set a record by being drafted and undrafted twice this year.
