^ CHI JAMA Uu- MEMS LETTER . /i .7 U JSfl^ FIJI ISLAND ISSUE Kenneth A. Payment, Editor April 15, 1961 CHAPTER NEWS Preparations for Fiji Island Weekend are now in progress, actives and pledges eagerly awaiting the gala event. We are hoping to see a host of alumni return to the old chapter house to attend the festivities beginning May 5 and ending Sunday May 7. Please let us know if you are coming and if you will need accommodations. The ad-interim report of marks shows a great improvement in the house index, a trend that we hope will continue throughout the year. A gain of over 0.3 was made which under the college system is an appreciable increase. The pledges have been busy putting a new ceiling over the bar, while Brother Kirk Mellen '61 has been painting a hugh Fiji Island scene to be put in the game room. These improvements along with the refacing of the bar and the addition of a hood, have given the game room a new look. In addition to the practice of inviting members of the faculty to dinner at least once a week, the Alumni Relations Committee has begun to invite alumni back from the Schenectady area for Thursday night dinners. Our first guest was Brother RICHARD SITTS '51 from Scotia. THANKS We v;ould like to express out thanks to JAMES F. DAVIDSON *23 for his contribution to the chapter.
