Thanks to the dedi cated brothers it was a tremendous suc cess. Fall quarter Kappa Deuteron pledged nineteen men to make up the Sigma Pledge class. Their roll consists of: Bill Bass from Atlanta, John Blair from Roswell, Tom Blackwell from Atlanta, Tommy Catone from Atlanta, Dave Davis from Atlanta, Henry Day from Atlanta, Mike Haggarty from Albany, Rick Hutto from Savannah, Bobby Melo from Tucker, Mike Mitcham from Atlanta, Ray McKenzie from LaGrange, Joel Purcell from Calhoun, King Purnell from Atlanta, Phil Red- dick from Tucker, David Thompson from Atlanta, Steve Tmay from New York, Neal Seiter from Clearwater, Florida, Charles Vencill from LaGrange and Pete Watson from Jesup, During the quarter the Sigma Pledge class had numerous socials with sorori ties including a breakfast social for the entire fraternity. A retreat for the big brothers and the pledges is scheduled for January 12 at Lake Lanier. They are also seHing light bulbs which will raise over $350 for their project. Their sweetheart is Susie Reeves, a pledge of our sist^ sorority. Kappa Alpha Theta. Kappa Deuteron is extremely proud of these nineteen men and can only hope th'^ they live up to their high potential. The members of the Rho pledge class from spring quarter were initiated on October 19th. They are Bobby Evans from Jesup, Billy McCalley from Atlanta, and Steve Schuette from East Point. Their pledge class present to the fraternity, a Ping-pong table, has been in constant use since the middle of fall quarter. Plans For New House In rush, in parties, and alumni func tions an attractive feature of a college fraternities is it's housing. "The house" is the focal point of the college frater nity's activity. Interaction afforded by living with men of high caliber casts an enduring impression on the member's character. Memories from the chapter experience linger long after graduation. The Phi Gams at the University of Geor gia now confront the problem of future housing. The chapter's short history has witnessed accomplishments in scholar ship, athletics, and the quality of men enlisted. After achieving the highest scholastic average a fraternity has ever known at the University of Georgia, the chapter members are in accord that the next area of improvement should be acquiring a permanent home for Kappa Deuteron. As the chapter looked ahead it recog nized changing trends in student life which required a different style of living from that which fraternity groups have known in the past. With emphasis on individuality and earlier responsibility, todays young apartment style living seems the best prospect for Kappa Deuteron, Consultation with major apartment developers and contractors in Atlanta including graduate brother Frank Sheetz have produced a viable layout which members anticipate will be versatile in meeting fraternity demands. The proposed chapter house will accomodate thirty-two brothers in eight apartment units, offering attractive hous ing for brothers until graduation. A multi-purpose social area with dining and party facilities will complete the complex's single structure.

The pledges Gams. went out into the country and cut down the Christmas tree. While the tree was being decorated, egg nog was served to the Phi Gams and their dates. Future Housing Continued ... bine the best features of apartments and fraternities by incorporating apartment within the fraternity. Each apartment will be a self-sufficient two bedroom unit which provides its occupants with space and primary heretofore unparalled in fraternities or dormotories—a definite plus for rush. The undergraduates, especially seniors, like this idea of apartment living be cause it goes along with the popular trend toward apartments and the house will represent a good financial risk because it is a multi-purpose building. Should the fraternity have money prob lems, the house could easily be con verted into an apartment building. What ever the case, the proposed structure seems a sound investment. The brothers are grateful to the At lanta graduate chapter's support a s Kappa Deuteron makes another advanc ing step at the University of Georgia. i \r\nFALL, 1972 F I J I U G A PAGE THREE INTRAMURALS Fiji again did well in the four Fall Quarter sports, football, volleyball, swimming, and ping-pong. Of a possible 450 points the Phi Gams managed to score 405. While this is quite good it fell short of the 420 points rolled up by AEPi in a fine showing. In football our old ncmesi.s—AEPi— managed to do it to us again, 20-14, playing poor football in the first half we fell behind 13-0. A superb effort managed to give the lead at 14-13 with less than two minutes left in the game. AEPi came up with a bomb, however, and an excellent 7 win, no loss season ended on a sour note. In swimming the Gams swept to a first place showing led by Rob Geer and graduate Bill Condon. Taking five firsts and two seconds, Fiji swept to victory quite handily. In ping-pong, captain James Altenbach led a young team to a third place effort. By bad luck, the draw hurt us as we drew the hardest team in the semifinals though we were far superior to everyone else. The defending champions in volley ball, Fiji could not quite make it two years in a row and had to settle for second place. A great effort by AEPi (again) stopped the Gams a few points .short. The loss to AEPi was the only loss of the season. This effort of a first, two seconds, and a third was very good. However, Fiji stands a chance to retire the Intramurals Trophy this year. To do this we must win the President's League three years in a row. With two straight years of success this year holds the key. No fraternity has managed this feat in over fifteen years. Only a great Winter and Spring quarter effort will make this possible as the other fraternities are trying their best to keep the trophy from going our way again.

Following the group discussion, a general discussion was to pool the ideas generated in the various groups. Other highlights of this year's re treat included the pledge class sing, the great food, a lot of ping-pong and bridge, and a super game of capture the flag.
