RARITA FIJI -RAT^RNITY G.P fHI Gc r JAR 231960 JUNIOR PROM WEEKEND 1960 RUTGERS UNIVERSITY NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. NU BETA FIJI IS TOP BALTIMORE COLTS LINEBACKER The Baltimore Colts defeated the DEFENSIVE CAPTAIN BILL PELLINGTON College All-Stars in Chicago's Sol dier's Field last July. On one par ticular play, an All-Star was tackled so ferociously that he swallowed his tongue. Luckily the ballcarrier re covered quickly; however, as a New York sportswriter said the next day, "It was while he was writhing on the ground that the rest of the col legians realized the difference be tween college and professional foot ball." In December of the past year, the Baltimore Colts defeated the New York Giants for the second consecu tive year to win the NFL champion ship. Charley Conerly, the ace quar terback for the Giants, had been thrown for continual losses; the Colt line had frustrated the running at tack of the offensively powerful Giants; their highly-touted defense had met its match. The tackier of the All-star, and the defensive cap tain of the world champion Colts is a 1952 Rutgers graduate and a brother of the Nu Beta Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta—Bill Pellington. Bill came to Rutgers via Ramsey High School, the U. S. Navy, and little Defiance College in Ohio. En tering the University in 1949, Bill was used by Coach Harvey Harman in a variety of positions, playing guard, tackle, end, and defensive linebacker in his athletic career. In his senior year, Pellington was a strong 6' 4", 220-pound tackle, and a solid, dependable performer for the Scarlet, though not a standout. Deciding to play professional foot ball after his graduation. Bill signed with the Cleveland Browns and never played, though he managed to collect bench splinters throughout the 1952 season under Paul Brown. At the season's end, the Browns traded him to the Dallas Texans, at that time so broke it never fielded a team for 1953. He was signed for the coming season as a free agent by the Baltimore Colts. Colt Coach Weeb Ewbank was re building the club when he acquired Pellington. Ewbank converted him into a linebacker with the heavy responsibilities the position entails. A linebacker has to be strong enough to flatten a plunging fullback, swift (Continued on Page 3) 1952 Rutgers Grad is pride of Colts. DR. EVANS IS FORMER "E The winning of the Cheney Cup by Nu Beta for the '57-'58 school year was due in some part to the effort and interest of certain graduate Fijis associated with the chapter. Dr. Henry Evans is one of these men, and in his past role as Purple Legionnaire, he has made a signifi cant contribution to the development of this chapter. Dr. Evans, known as "Hank" to both his contemporaries and the undergrads, was first asso ciated with Phi Gamma Delta at the Sigma Nu chapter at Syracuse Uni versity. He pledged as a freshman because "they were the best house on campus," and he was active m the chapter throughout his four Years there. Despite the obligations of matrimony, which he assurned prior to his senior year, he carried gers from Scotch Plains High School in 1948 to serve as Assistant to the Director of Admissions. His interest in the chanter was immediate and sincere, and he soon gained the re spect and confidence of the under graduates, who accepted him as an unofficial advisor. In 1953 he was entrusted with the post of Purple Legionnaire. During the period be tween 1953-58, Hank advanced stead ily upward in the admissions staff, but his office continued to remain open to the Fiji brothers and offi cers. In addition, to his work for the university and his duties with the fraternity. Hank studied for and re ceived his Doctorate of Education in 1956. His present position as Asso ciate Director of Admissions entitles him to respect due a prominent member of the Rutgers family, but the duties of both rushing chairman also makes extensive demands on his and pledge trainer, critical positions in any chapter, as well as president. extra hours. Due to this demand on Nu Beta was struggling to recover his time. Hank reluctantly resigned as Purple Legionnaire in 1958, but from the relative inactivity of the he still retains his status as friend war years when Hank came to Rut (Continued on Page 3) \r\nPAGE TWO RARITAN RARITAN FIJI FIJI ARGENTINE STUDENT IS GUEST NXJ BETA of PHI GAMMA DELTA 78 Fasten Avenue ination.

Rutgers University has instituted an exchange program in the field of economics with Argentina under the auspices of the U. S. State Depart ment. Under this program, fifteen Argentine students are spending five weeks studying at the University while living in fraternities during the week, and visiting neighboring cities on the weekend. The latter is hoped to give the visiting students an insight into American culture and tradition.

House Committee The Fiji House is enlivened with the newness of many improvements brought forth by the magic hand of Ed Tramont, House Committee Chairman.

The stairways and the second and third floor hall ways are also tread softly upon amid the glow of luxury with addi tion of wall-to-wall carpeting. This impressive setting which gave the brotherhood added confidence, was completed in time for rushing. To support the increased number of pledges and also to discourage the rock and roll movement, the living room floor was reinforced. To add to the sparkle of Christmas Formal, new lamp shades replaced the old ones. Also at this time, four new card tables were bought to aid house functions and help out those brothers who don't know what to do with their dates. The reflection of candle light in the dining room reveals a ceiling painted white and walls warm with the color of provincial gold.

Because rushing came in the middle of the last semester, these pledges have been with us since November. Proba bly their most unusual trait as a pledge class is that only six of the twenty-three members are from within New Jersey. Their talents are as varied as their places of origin, and we know they'll be a credit to Phi Gamma Delta.

Phi Gamma Delta continued its winning ways this fall by copping their league in touch football. No opponent scored more than six points in any one game while the Fijis averaged over 20 points during the regular season. In league play-offs, Chi Psi played inspired football and eliminated Phi Gam by a score of 14-0. This was only the second loss suffered by a Fiji football team in over 25 games. The team this season was led by seniors Bruce Cassella, A1 Van Heuvelen, Jim Sierk, and Bob Abernethy along with juniors Frank Mencini, Ken luso, Walt Hersman. Drew Kowalski, Chuck Torpy, and John Leeds and sophs Bob Meeker and Tom Pettijohn. With the loss of only four seniors, next year's team should uphold the name of Phi Gamma Delta in intramural foot Ken luso on one unit and Sam Mudie, Jim Rogers, Lee Curley, Tom Scherr, and Pierce Frauenheim on the other with A1 Van Heuvelen and Bob Abernethy rounding out the team. Tennis and cross country brought six points to the Phi Gams in the race for the Keller Trophy (which is sitting in the den at this moment).

Walt Hersman, Bruce Cassella, Bob Abernethy, Ken luso, A1 Van Heuvelen, and Tom Pettijohn comprised the first six, while Bob Meeker, Frank Men cini, Caxd Mann, and Sam Mudie were on hand to help when needed. As the winter sports are reaching a climax, the house dominated all the basketball leagues. With four teams entered in different leagues, Fiji teams took four first places. The Fiji Frosh, "C" team and "B" team were first, second, and third respectively in the league independ ent teams while the "A" team won not only the Keller Trophy league (second year in a row), but also the university championship by defeat ing, yes that's correct, the Fiji Frosh.

Phi Gam is only 5 points behind last year's pace which went on to post a record total of 101 points in cap turing the trophy, and is in a neck and neck battle with the Zetes for first place.

This figure, ac cording to the Dean of Men's Office, is a credit to the house since many fraternities on the Rutgers campus have directly felt the overall poor Freshman Class scholarship. Nu Beta feels this is a result of required study hall for pledges and a tutorial system whereby brothers with ability in a particular subject aided those who were in need of special con sideration. Financially, the house is in excel lent shape with a creditable balance; scholastically, we may have fallen down, but final word awaits the cornputation of the Dean of Men's Office; socially, Nu Beta's annual Christmas Formal was well attended. in the broad jump and sprints.

The Building Fund Committee has purchased shares of IBM common stock and Federal Savings Bank Bonds for a total investment of al most $3,000. This program is based on what is hoped will be a success ful long term investment venture. Governors of this committee include Brothers Steifel, Wolf, Andrews, Mojo, and W. Huber. Unfortunately, the University has been forced to postpone its fraternity building pro gram due to the problems of money. It seems that the Federal govern ment had just so much money to lend to colleges and universities for expansion purposes. The borrowing school had to match this Federal loan with money of its own. Because the fraternity housing program was on the bottom of the priority list, both Rutgers and the government ran out of money. Once again the plans of Nu Beta for a house will have to be suspended.
