We are therefore starting to contact our rush prospects. Our past year's record on campus has been excellent. Eleven of our seniors were tapped for Gimlet, we were the leading "big" house in scholarship, and our act was selected for Varsity Varieties, the annual all-student variety show. We are very proud of this showing. However, we must have good men to maintain our good reputation. We are depending on you graduate brothers, at least in part, to furnish us with the men who will keep Phi Gamma Delta on top. Under the University's new policy, incoming freshmen are re quired to supply their campus address before they receive final acceptance to Purdue. This has caused a sharp decrease in the num ber of men going through fall rush (there were only 250 last fall), most of them signing hall contracts prior to coming to the campus. I am sure-that you realize the amount of competition this presents, with only 250 boys being rushed by forty fraternities. We must reach the senior boys in high school early in the spring in order that we may plan an effective rush program. Although we learn of some good prospects from our own personal contacts, it is from you, the graduate, that we must expect most of our prospective rushees. If you know of any senior in high school who is planning to enroll at Purdue, or at any other college where we have a chapter, please let us know immediately on the enclosed post card. We are looking for boys who are high scholastically, well liked by their classmates, and who you believe to be of Fiji caliber. We would like to include these fellows in our spring rush as well as in the summer and fall rush programs. With your cooperation, we plan to keep Phi Gamma Delta on top with an outstanding pledge class next fall. Included in this issue of the Fiji is a rush information card; if you know of any one please fill this card out and send it to us at once. Thank you for your kind cooperation.

At this time of year, as we examine our past year's accomplish ments, we realize the value of aspiration to our ideals, regardless of what degree of success we have attained in our various endeavors. At the same time, we have the opportunity to plan ahead for the coming year. While we realize that our accomplishments will never be perfect, we may resolve to further improve our performance by correcting our past mistakes. By doing so, we will realize at least one ideal—that of everyone working together to keep Phi Gamma Delta on top in the years to come. Marry Christmas Happy New York John O.
