The Old Gold Goblet, created in 1941, is prEsent2d by the senior class to a DePauw alumnus on the basis of his eminence in his life's work and his service to his Alma Mater.

At present, h :: serves as President of the Board of TrustE'es of the Grac e M sthodist Church in Roch ester, Indiana, his home town. A loyal alumnu s of both DePauw and Phi Gamma Delta, Brother Boswell is a DePauw trustee and a director of Lambda House Corporation. He donated the equipmEnt for many of DePauw's athletic fields, including the new soccer-lacrosse field. Having contributed much toward the construction of the new fraternity house, he is continuing his assistance by providing a new parking lot as well as outstanding rush prospects. This is the second year in a row that a Fiji has received the goblet. Last year the recipient was J. Stanford Smith, '36 . Many other Phi Garns, Charles Beard, '98; Bernard Kilgore, '29 ; and Buren McCormack, '30, have won this trophy in its 25 year history. Edward Boswell Lortzes Active in Alumni Affairs The Lortz family has traditionally been very active in D ePauw and Phi Garn Alumni affairs. On April 16, George E.

A strong surge after a poor first semester start put Lambda into the thick of the title fight. Don Lovelace, '66, started the ball rolling by recording the high average as the bowling quartet of Lovelace, Steve Young, Steve Hayes, and Bob Vedder picked up Fiji's first IM trophy. Victories in badminton and wrestling followed, and the house spirit soared. Hayes and Young captured first doubles and Tom Hosier first singles to pace the winning racquet squad. In wrestling, Dan Spear was a winner while Pete "Zorba" Valessares, Mike Malmer, and Marty Foster claimed runner-up honors to bring Fiji another championship. The volleyball team reached the playoffs, finally placing fourth. Steve Hayes was selected to the All-IM team, while spiker Joe Johnson received several votes. With three sports left, Phi Garn is currently a close third, but victories in softball and track should send home another winner and a second consecutive IM trophy. The softball team led by hurler Harry Dunwoody have had an undefeated season and reached the finals of the playoffs. Bob Sielken was our lone contender in horseshoe finals but captured the first singles title. The IM track meet scheduled for May 7 will find Lambda defending their 1965 championship. down the QB job in spring practice. Doug Smith and John Current earned starting positions for next fall's soccer team in spring practice. Dan Winters and Dan Swift are fighting for the top five of the frosh net squad. Barry Krause is considered the brightest star on the frosh baseball team and is being groomed to inherit Boswell's third base job next year . Junior Steve Norris is Lambda's outstanding track man. "Norm", as he is known to the brothers, has been under 1 :58 for the half mile in every meet this spring and is confident of claiming the school record in the ICC meet. He also has been clocked in :48.5 for the anchor leg on DePauw's undefeated record breaking mile relay team. Other men on the track squad are Jeff Pearson, top varsity high jumper, and freshman sub-two minute half miler Dan Spear. In the 35-mile bike race, the "Little 500", Fiji placed eighth, the first time in several years that they've placed in the top ten. The four riders, seniors Schrade Radtke and Bob Wells, and freshmen Pete Valessares and Marty Foster, rode a total of 3358 miles in preparation for the race, but injuries and several bad breaks early in the race lost the team any hopes of victory. Brother Radtke was one of the four elected by all the riders to the All-Star team. May 19. 1966 Fiiis Busy at Close of Year; Fiii Isle, Mom's Day Activities at Phi Gamma Delta are increasing with the end of the year. The "Fiji Isle" Dance was May 7. Under the chairmanship of Senior Greg Pearson, work was started three weeks before the dance to complete projects such as the swinging bridge, fence, waterfall, cave entrance, pond (complete with a 11 i gator), and thatched pogoda. Lead by community service head, Terry Etter, the Phi Garns joined with forty members of Delta D elta Delta sorority in an American Cancer Society drive. After dinner at the house, teams of one brother and one Tri-Delt canvassed the n eighborhood collecting a large sum of money. Being the only fraternity to volunteer, the Fijis received coverage in all the local and Indianapolis papers. The weekend of April 30 was Mother's Week end at DePa uw, and the Phi Garns welcomed over fifty mothers. Thirty-two of those mothers actually stayed in the chapter hous~. The activities included a formal dinner, coronation of the May Queen, and concerts by campus singing groups in the evenings. The fraternity activities were organized by Mike Dixon. The weekend was a success for both moms and their sons. REMEMBER OLD GOLD DAY AND NORRIS PIG DINNER OCTOBER 8 Our IM record is found to be even more outstanding when one considers that Lambda athletes are also dominating the varsity rosters. Spring practice earned six brothers positions on the starting team for next fall 's gridiron action. Dan Breckenridge and Eric Lortz will again share the quarterback duties they held last fall . Sophomore Gary Taylor will hold the fullback position. Bob Coolman, Warren Onken, and Bill Scaife appear to have won starting berths on the defensive line. Captain and starting pitcher Joe Johnson is one of four Fiji starters on the D ePauw Nine. Tom Boswell and Don Lovelace are second year starters and Dan Breckenridge moved into the catcher spot although holding Typical action at "Little 500" in which Fiji took eighth place and Brother Schrade Radtke was honored with a berth on the All-Star team. \r\nMay 19, 1966 Lambda Fiiis Help Found Sigma Delta Chi In a dilapidated, abandoned classroom of old Middle College, the largest, most select, and finest journalism fraternity in the world was founded . The date of the founding was April 11, 1909 when Sigma D elta Chi became the first journalism fraternity. Two Lambda Fiji's, Paul Riddick and Marion Hedges, were among those who contributed greatly to its founding and growing. Clad in the somewhat somber colors of black and white SDX colors, they worked diligently with other members constructing a motto, ritual and colonization of other chapters. Its original aim as expressed by Riddick was to "hook up real newspaperdom to college men who were preparing for the profession." This alone has made Sigma D elta Chi stand out as the only society to recognize and help undergraduate journalists. Hedges finally put the ritual into a completed form after the diligent work of other members, and the two Lambda brothers showed their Fiji loyalty in the crest and the ritual. In the badge of SDX can be found ~' white star borrowed from Phi Gamma Delta. Since the early years Lambda has been further influencial in the advancement of Sigma Delta Chi. In 1962 Buren McCormack, Executive Vice President of Wall Street Journal. became the President of SDX and has been very influential as a member of the Sigma Delta Chi foundation which has been responsible for the sending of topnotch journalists to college campuses throughout the nation. Another brother, Bernard Kilgore, recently retired President of The Wall Street Journal. b e c a m e honorary President of SDX at the 1964 Convention in Kansas City. Since his work in 1909, Mr. R i·1dick was a n ewspaper publisher for 41 years before becoming County Treasurer of LaGrange, Indiana in 1951. Eight years later he found his way back to the newspaper where he can probably still be found several hours a day writing editorials. In his free time he plans tours for care-free people. Although not a charter member, C. M . Ogle just missed as he is number 21 on the chapter roles. He pre(Continued on Page 6) TIGER FIJI Page 3 ~ . .: .. · . .. · --::--~\\(\ j". ~\)'"\)1~ ·: . ·_=-JOURNALISTS . - ON By ROBERT VEDDER Phi Gamma Delta is well represented in the journalism profession. Many Fiji journalists come from universities with journalism colleges, but despite their lack of such training, DePauw Fijis figure prominently in the world of the fourth estate. Foster Riddick, 'IO, is a charter member of Sigma Delta Chi presently employed as a "cub" reporter for the newspaper he published for 41 years. In his spare time he is a tour consultant. Mike C. Ogle, '14, is a devoted member of the fraternity who is also one of our distinguished publishers. Although he was no. 21 on the Sigma D elta Chi chapter role he was co-founder of The Times-News daily newspaper of which he is now publisher. He was President of A ssociated Dailies of North Carolina in 1961 as well as Vice-President of the North Carolina Press Association. Last year he was given an award by DePauw University for his 50 years of devotion to DePauw. George E. Martin, '15, like the preceding Fijis was a founder. In 1926, he established the Pacific Shipper, a weekly trade publication of which he is currently publisher. In addition, Mr. M artin has ventured further into publishing by purchasing other trade publications and by publishing the Coast Marine Transportation Directory. Mr. Martin reports that the journalism instruction given at DePauw certainly was not enough to give a young journalist a superiority complex. Earl 0. Ewan, '22, is one of many Fijis employed on New York City newspapers. In 1965 he was elected a life member of The Society of the Silurians and in the same year treasurer emeritus of the Columbia University Journalism Alumni after serving an unprecedented 12 years. Russell McFall, '25, worked for the Indianapoli.s News and the Chicago Herald Examiner for fourteen years after graduation before going to the Chicago Tribune in 1936. Presently Mr. MacFall is editor of the Neighborhood News section. Much like the present Lambda seniOTs, he recalls living in prefab houses near old Florence Hall. I imagine some great stories could come from that experience which Mr. MacFall might relate in a chapter history he has been thinking of writing. Bernard Kilgore, '29 advanced rapidly to become the President of the Wall Street Journal in 1946. He retired in March after twenty highly successful years and is now President of the Board of Trustees of Dow Jones and Co. He became President of the DePauw Board of Trustees in 1964 in which year he was named honorary President of Sigma Delta Chi. As a member of the Lambda building committee, he was very influential in the construction of the new chapter house. Buren McCormack, '30, began his newspaper career at the age of five when he earned five cents a week delivering newspapers in his hometown, Jamestown, Indiana. After graduating from DePauw in 1930 he joined the news staff of the Wall Street Journal where he served every editorial position possible before changing into management and production. He is now the Executive Vic~ President. The chapter was delighted to hear of his marriage to Mrs. Edna Marshall in February of this year. It was good seeing the McCormack's including their daughter Judith this March while Buren was working with Sigma Delta Chi officials on DePauw's historic site in journalism. Ed Callis, '30, also went to the Wall Street Journal after graduation
