A full day of activities has been planned for visitors and students. Following registration on the lawn of East College, the alumni will attend Old Gold Day Chapel. Due to illness Dr. Raymond Pence, himself a DePauw tradition, will not be the s!;)eaker as previously announced. It is expected that a suitable replacement will be found, and the alumni will be able to relive fond memories and also gain new insights into DePauw' s future. Next on the schedule is the pregame luncheon and following that is the Old Gold Day game, with the Tigers facing Evansville . Dan Breckenridge, quarterback, and Eric Lortz, halfback, both Fiji's, will be leading the potent Bengal offense in what is sure to be one of the season's finest contests. After the game, Mondaym or n in g quarterbacks can trade strategy at the Open House at the Union Building. For Fiji graduate brothers, another highlight will be the annual Norris Pig Dinner, held at the chapter house. Following this dinner, guests can go to the Old Gold Day Dance, featuring the Chuck Holden Orchestra, signalling the conclusion of another m emory-packed day for alumni and students alike.

In cross country this year, the Fiji's are w P, 11 represented by sophomore Dan Spear, who took first place in the first meet of the year with Wabash, and senior Steve Norris, who was voted the outstanding runner on both the track and c r o s s country teams last year. Pledge Scott Norris is running for the freshman tea~ . Returning lettermen Dan Breckinridge and Eric Lortz, who alternated at the quarterback spot last year, are both assured of starting berths. Dan will remain at quarterback w hi 1 e Eric has been moved to halfback. Towering sophomore Bill Scaife, last year's defensive captain of the fresh man team, has a 1 r e a d y earned a starting s p o t at linebacker. Sophomores Gary Taylor and Warren Onken have a good chance of playing at f u 11 back and tackle respectively. Scott Robey, Bob Kleinops, Jerry Hoffman, Mike Scalzo, and F r a n k Lowry represent the Fiji's on the freshman t e a m and are promising varsity players. Soccer, in its second year as an intercollegiate sport at DePauw, is fast becoming a popular sport. Junior Doug Smith, last year's starting forward , and sophomore John Current, who looks especially strong this season , represent the Fiji's well. As the fall semester steadily picks up speed, the men of Lambda find themselves more and more involved in the rout in es of classes, intramurals and varsity sports. We also find time to look back proudly at the record compiled last year. L et's take a brief look. The Fiji's were second in scholarship of all the fraternities, with a 2.78 grade point average . Behind this r e c o r d we had three Phi Beta Kappa's, three per f e c t 4.00's and fourteen men on the D ean's List. In IM's, we didn't measure up to our first place the year before, but held a solid second when the final points were tallied. Again, Fiji copped off a third among fraternities in competition for having the most varsity lettermen. We are looking now for a year comparable to our past. On the national level, Lambda was recognized at the Ekklesia with the following three awards: (1) Honorable Mention for the Cheney Cup, (2) second place in the Coon Plaque, and, (3) fourth place in the Baker Cup. As the first delegate, I was extremely pleased to accept these awards for our achievements. At the Ekklesia we, the delegates, gained more respect for the quality of men in our chapters across the nation. It is a respect that compels us to unify solidly our own chapter in order to gain the goals we desire. We are looking hopefully at the day when we will all live under the same roof. For then, we will have the best possible living conditions for true fraternity. But until that time, we'll a 1 ways maintain that at DePauw, Fiji is fraterity living at its best.
