By Saturday the dates for the weekend will have "taken over" the fraternity house. The evicted Fi.iis will seek refuge in available rooms in the freshman dorms. With the arrival of Saturday eve ning the Fiji house will take on the appearance of days gone by. Our party theme, "The Roaring Twen ties," will cause the house to be ap propriately decorated to become a living part of that wild, madden ing, and wonderful era. The party room will look like a typical "speak easy," complete with honky-tonk piano and candles in wine bottles to add to the general atmosphere of gaiety. All the Fijis and their dates will fit right into the scene because they will be dressed for the occa sion. The girls will wear the shape less "flapper" dresses, which made our mothers so appealing to our dads. The fellows will sport the gay outfits that were the rage in these wild days of prohibition and dance marathons. To capture this turning back of the clock, a party picture will be taken at the beginning of the festivities. The girls garters as will receive their party purple favor. There will be a garter presenting ceremony to initiate our dates into the aura of the party. Derbies will be the party favors for the Fijis.

Although this was the first time most of the boys had seen this type of offense, they practiced hard, and when the first game rolled around, they were ready to prove that they had learned their lessons well. The Scarlet Knights opened the season with a 13-8 victory over Princeton for a third consecutive win over the Tigers—a feat never before accomplished by any Rut gers team. The Raritan Fijis are par ticularly proud that they have thir teen varsity players who have con tributed much to this early success.

Although he was bothered by an injured ankle last year. Lee has come back strong and made many fine catches at his right end position. An added thrill for Lee came earlier this season when he threw three touchdown passes against Princeton in a junior varsity game. Marv Engle proved his great pass catching ability against Bucknell when he grabbed a pass from Sam Mudie with 1:40 left to play and fell over the goal line for the winning touchdown. Not only is this Kingston, N.Y., High School graduate a great pass receiver, but he is also a fine blocker on offense and has set many a back loose on a long run.

He is a hard, fast run ner who specializes in sweeping the ends. While at Aspinwall High School, Pierce was a T-quarterback but was moved to halfback when he arrived at practice this fall. This junior is a physical education major. The leading fullback ground gainer in 1959 was Jay Kowalski, and he has returned to that position this year. Although he has seen little of fensive action this year, he has been a standout on defense in his first- string linebacker position. With his speed and hard hitting nature there are few opposing backs that get by this Fiji. Bill Libby hails from Kenmore, N. Y., where he was'an All-County center.

JOS/RAW is quite unique and due to the large participation of Nu Beta Fijis, is worthy of note. The entire Ekklesia breaks down into state groups and one member of each of these groups is elected to sit on the Permanent Committee Organization Committee. It is the task of this member to place members of the group on committees of their choice. Nu Beta has an out standing honor in this respect, for during the last five Ekklesias, Brother Stiefel (Nu Beta '40) has been chosen for this position.
