FIJI ISLAND WEEKEND 1960
NU BETA ASSURED LEADERSHIP; ELECTS TORPY
Election period around Nu Beta is
usually filled with regret and hope,
and it was so again this year. To the
outgoing cabinet of A1 Bugg, Tom
Schorr, Tom Weber, Jim Van Orden, and Bob Fenstermaker we say
thanks and good luck. To the in-com
ing officers. Chuck Torpy, Bob Gor
don, John Leeds, and Don and Gary
Van Dyke, we offer our support and
congratulations.
We especially regret to see this
year's cabinet leave. Under Al, they
helped to really make the committee
system effective. Always plugging
Nu Beta on campus, as well as work
ing within the house, they were able
ft
leaders and we will miss them.
But the picture is not one of gloom.
Our new cabinet, though active
around campus is more house cen
tered than it has been in many years.
By working to help bring up scholar
ship and to make Nu Beta a strong
functioning unit, they will guide us
for the coming year.
Chuck Torpy, the new President,
is a Psychology major from Alexan
dria, Virginia. We have entrusted
him with the highest post in Nu Beta,
and the confidence placed in him by

FIJI ISLAND TOPS SOCIAL SEASON
Providing that 'the weather is
warm and fair, there should be no
doubt that this year's Fiji Island
Party will top those of previous
years. Costumes, food, decorations,
and
entertainment
will combine to
make this a memorable weekend.
The yard, as usual, will be deco
rated as a tropical paradise. These
decorations will include such fea
tures as the usual waterfall (provid
ing we find a good pump this year),
an active volcano, Siiaight from the
Fiji Islands (consisting of dry ice
and water), and the never-to-be-for
gotten straw huts. In addition there
will be a simulated beach (compli
ments of the Jersey shore), lining
the edge of our crystal pool.
Rich Janish, our carpenter, will be
in charge of heavy construction. Ar
tistry will be supplied by Don and
Gary Van Dyke and Skip Smith.
Tropical murals serving as blinds
should add greatly to the party's at

at 6:15. Following this, dinner will
be served buffet-style out in our
tropical setting. As soon as everyone
is settled with their food, the main
part of the entertainment will start.
This includes a Fiji orchestra, vari

Pig Dinner Is
Largest Ever
Nu Beta's largest Norris Pig Din
ner was held at the University Com
mons on Saturday, May 7th. the an
nual affair (throughout all of Fiji
Land) was attended by 70 of the un
dergraduates and well over 40 mem
bers of Nu Beta's alumni, thus neces
sitating the removal of the dinner
from the Chapter House to the Com
mons.
The festivities of the da,y began
with a meeting of the alumni after
which followed a social hour for
our older counterparts at the bar
while the undergraduate Brothers
tapped a keg of cold birch beer. The
time was soon 6:30 and the band of
hungry-but-happy Fijis was soon
about the dinner table. Immediately
after dinner, toastmaster Hank Evans
continued to keep the Brotherhood in
high spirits while continuing the pro
gram in rare fashion.
Prominent Fijis, both graduate and
undergraduate, were in the spotu^ht
throughout the evening. Mike Higgins, Nu Beta '18, was honore'l for
his outstanding service to the Chan
ter. Mike was a charter member in
Nu Beta and went on to become the
president of the Alumni Association,
as well as the president of the Nu
Beta Foundation. A number of un
dergraduate awards, including the
Kramer and Pangburn Awards, were
subsequently given to deserving
brothers.

Also taking a first place was the 100yard freestyle team composed of

received his Gold "R" and has served
this past year as head preceptor.

Beach Haven, N. J., Carl will go to

WRSU and advanced ROTC. After
coming out he plans to go into TV

seeing your name in the list of

Tom Weber is another senior with
so many activities that you'd think
he didn't have time to study. He's
group commander of Group II. He's
also flight instruction program com
mander. A member of Italian Club
and a preceptor, "Wegs" has been
quite active this year. He holds a
State Scholarship and has won the
Reserve Officers' Association of the
U.S. Medal as well as an award for
his work in ROTC. Having taken
geography as a major only because
he couldn't major in ROTC, Dick is
planning on active duty in January.
He'll go to flight school as the start
of a five year hitch, which might
turn into a career. After getting his
