Tniui ^ - PHI GAMMA DELTA "Under the Fiji Spot Light" V" SPRING 1982 Political Struggle in Fijilond We at Phi Gamma Delta have always boasted about our "Famous Fiji's", but this year, we have a really special attraction. You al l know that Nebraska's governor Charles Thane '44 is from Lambda Nu, but did you know that his most likely opponent in the gubernatorial race is also from Lambda Nu? His name is Robert Kerrey '65, and he hopes to gain the Democratic nomination for governor in the upcoming election. Kerrey's on aspiring Nebraska businessman who believes that good business sense and strong leadership are prime characteristics of on effective governor. Indeed, this year's gubernatorial race will be one worth following. We hove the experienced Thone versus the innovative Kerrey. Good luck to you both! PERGE! S.

In the lost two years, graduate support is by for the most improved area concerning participation, and I think I can safely say it has been most important to our current success. Another area of graduate par ticipation which I think will insure continued success in the future is the recent election of Scott Jockmon OS Purple Legionoirre. While Scott and the mem bers of the BCA ore al l exceptional individuals, it should be remembered that Lambda Nu can never have too much graduate support. "Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days alone" is something always learned by the undergraduates but seem ingly not remembered by a lot of graduates. The brothers and I here at Lambda Nu invite any and al l graduates to come share in our success . . . (you can only moke us that much more successful!) Fraternally, Curt McConnell '83 During recent years here at Lambda Nu, those in close contact with the Fraternity hove witnessed and been a port of the current success of our chap ter. This success con be attributed to many things ranging from individual achievement to chapter cooperation but I think the vital element involved has been participation; I think we will all agree a fraternity is nothing without it. Within our chapter, improved participation has been evident in every aspect available. Every brother is actively involved with at least one com Phi Gam's Out On Campus This year has also been a very busy one for us out on campus. With AAaynard Krantz finishing his second term as Nebraska Union Board president, he is the first person to ever be re-elected for a second year as president. This along with his many other activities helped him to be nominated and chosen by the UNL Greek system as the Senior mittee, so our committee system is working effec tively. There is renewed concern among the brothers for the building itself, so the Fraternity's physical "Most Likely To Succeed". structure is in its best shape ever. The chapter as a ond year on Judicial Board of which he also served whole has realized the importance of on outstand ing scholastic program. We hove shown a marked improvement in grades as Phi Gamma Delta has serving his second year on the Student Advisory moved into the top third among UNL Fraternities. Finally, I feel I should mention participation during summer rush. It has been said that rush is the life- blood of any fraternity and ours is no exception. While we hove hod good participation in the lost two years, there is always room for improvement. It is always impressive to a rushee to see graduate's at a rush party. While we realize that this isn't al ways possible, providing our rush chairmen with in dividual names of graduating seniors is helpful. We must all remember now is the time to participate in rush and not when summer is over and it's too late. Graduating senior Scott Glup is finishing his sec as president this past year. Mike Decker wil l be Board for the Business college. This student group works with the Dean to plan such activities as BWeek and visiting executive program. Tim O'Keeffe has recently been chosen for a two year term on the Nebraska Union Board. This board is made up of ten students and three faculty members to work with director Doryl Swonson on how the two student unions should be operated. Dan Parsons stays busy with singing performances on the Nebraska Mens Glee Club which he has been an active member now for two years. Chris Ingrim is on the Greek Week committee that wil l have many activities planned for us the week of April 12. \r\nGRADUATE NEWS Larry Aspegren '62 is president and owner of the Frank B.
