PRESIDENTS REPORT
Xi Deuteron is taking great strides in order to become the
excellent Chapter it was a few years ago. This Spring has been
a most active one that has featured many outstanding achieve
ments.
Thanks to Brother Barry Prystowski the By-Laws have been
revised for the first time since 1969«
The FIJIS won the
Intramural Wrestling Championship and garnered second place
in Basketball, On April
Xi Deuteron spent a refreshing
afternoon with neighborhood underprivlidged children. Social
Service is an area in \^ich Xi Deuteeon has been chronically
weak. As a community service project Xi Deuteron is sponsoring
a paper drive to recycle paper which is badly needed since the
University is a major paper consumer.
One of the highlights of this Spring was the Graduate
Party held at Xi Deuteron on March 30"''",
This party was a
huge success as over 70 people including dates attended. The
undergraduates were- especially pleased to see William R.
Van Aken, Dewitt R, Cogswell, John Vanek (70) from New York,
and Jonathan Plimpton (70) from St, Louis, Everyone rekindled
old friendships and new friendships are started with the new
actives. It was also a unique occasion since six past pres
idents were- in attendance. The party was so well received
that Xi Deuteron hopes to make this an annual event.
Another highlight to this spring has been the addition
of Dr, Priguletti as our new faculty advisor. Although Dr,
Friguletti was not a fraternity man as an undergraduate, he
is very enthusiastic about fraternity activities and can com
municate very well with both graduates and especially under
graduates, He is a graduate of Western Reserve and received
his Phd in History from Harvard.

their best year yet. Brothers Ted Kazantzis(76) and Scott
Maslow(76) are our IFC representatives and now they are in the

the few students to be chosen to be on the committee to

along with the above brothers, the whole house will be aiding
the Admissions Office in recruiting for the University by

being the campus hosts for these visitors.
As can be seen, FIJIs are involved in practically all
facets of University life. Hopefully a trend has been esta
