The Nu pledges have recently unveil ed the major part of their pledge project, and it really went over big. It is going over even bigger the second time around. The pledges have repainted the T.V. room, and a new carpet is in the plann ing. The mantle in the room was also sanded to reveal that it was truly wood underneath. Although the interior deco rating was not professional, the quality of dedication could not be matched. The pledges also rearranged the test file, had the jukebox repaired, and pur chased a new piano stool. The kitchen was also sanitized by the group. Several other projects have been taken on by the pledge class. INTRAMURALS of Phi Gamma Delta; Gerald Applefield Jim Bumgartner Tom Fitzgerald in extra activities here at U.GA.

At least two important conclusions can be drawn from the efforts of the Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity at the University of Georgia to help the March of Dimes. Members of the chapter literally ran to Atlanta recently in an effort to help youngsters with crippling birth defects. 'Various local businessmen were asked to sponsor the run by con tributions to the March of Dimes campaign, and almost $900 was rais ed.

The The Pig Dinner will be held on Foun der's Day, May 1, at the University Club in Athens. Timothy W. Kilduff (Kent St. '68), assistant to the Execu tive Secretary, will be the featured speaker. Dr. James Anderson (Kan. '62) will be the symposiarch. Further details on the Dinner will be mailed later. Perhaps this criticism is accurate at the steps of the Governor's mans ion in Atlanta, where the runners were greeted by Gov. Jimmy Carter. But there also was much work in volved. More than 100 local business men were contacted in an effort to obtain sponsors, and many other ar rangements had to be made. OUR SECOND conclusion is only partly positive. The mixed response received by the fraternity men as they sought sponsors suggests that many persons today may not be fully aware of the needs that the March of Dimes now seeks to meet. Some merchants were most gen erous in their response, and perhaps some others simply have been over whelmed with requests for help in recent months. In any case some of those contacted gave very little and some nothing. This suggests that a concerned ef fort is needed to inform everyone that while the March of Dimes has won its first battle against polio it is just beginning the fight against crip for some, but it certainly does not apply to many others, as projects pling diseases. such as this one demonstrate. these young men and the many mer chants who generously gave support to help the March of Dimes help, crippled youngsters.
