VOJ. 106 Phi Gamma Delta, DePau\v SUMMER 1962 FIJI ISLE ''BEST EVER'' SUCCESS PRESIDENT HUMBERT DIES The men of Lambda Chapter note with deep regret the passing of our beloved University president, Russell J. Humbert. He was stricken by a heart seizure and suffered a fatal coronary attack with death coming on Saturday, June 2. Not only did President Humbert give DePauw the boost and sal esmanship it needed, but he was a man in full favor with the fraternity system, who believed in student rights and freedoms. Trails of sawdust led to and from Lambda's Fiji Hut on Friday evening, May 11, informing the campus and Greencastle residents that Phi Gamma Delta's social highlight was here once again. Rain threatened throughout the preceding week, but on Friday afternoon the su n broke through and began t h e event in the best way ever. Graduating seniors Bill Graham, Tod Dawson and Dick Fairchild directed the entire affair which actually got rolling as couches and chairs were politely spirited away from beneath Mother's Day guests. The furniture removal (most of it was stored in the Annex) started the Lambda Trackster Another Fiji doing an outstanding job for the DePauw track team this year was so1)hc·more sp rinter Paul Hammer. A freshman numerals winner and highest freshman scorer last year, Paul continued his winning performances this season with consistent first, second and third places in t h e 100 and 220 yard dashes. H e also anchored DePauw's outstanding 880 relay team which bettered the DePauw mark. Paul's best time for the 220 this year was 21.7 seconds. 500 man-hour week which found brothers scouring the countryside for railroad ties, beat-up 2" x 4"s, sawdust, greenery, chicken wire and numerous other things so much a part of Fiji Island Dance. An all-out work session Thursday night saw completion of the main bridge up the walkway, turning the front yard into a semblance of the River Kwai. The cave in the foyer needed only a few dabs of paint, water was running in two of the three waterfalls, and the invitations committee finished disrupting sorority meals. The greenery committee took over at 6 a.m. Friday and denuded the roadsides of the choicest leaves and branches for the false ceilings and gener·al atmosphere of the dance. By four o'clock that afternoon brothers were in the showers, were shaving, or were wishing they had 36" waists in their costumes rather than 34"s. But the sweepin g dash from sorority to sorority to dorm began on time anyway as curious onlookers just stared. Each wahine was called for by a halfclad native who led her back to the group through a double line of brothers and dates who weie serenading and uttering other primitive noises. A• final banzai across the Dells from the DG house to the Theta's brought some 150 hungry cannibals to the feast a nd dance of the year. The luau, which took three cooks over twelve hours to prepare, was made up of barbecued chicken, shrimp, corn-on-thecob, watermelon, pineapple, bananas, plus a plate of wonderful hors d'oeuvres. The Katalinas from Indianapolis provided the music for the evening with twisting as wild as has ever been seen in Lambda's halls. The noise died, lights faded and President Jae Kendall stepped to the bandstand at 10:30 p .m . for the crowning of the 1962 Fiji Island Queen. Pi Phi junior Barbara Klinger beamed with pride as she accepted the four-foot trophy, the greatest tribute paid by the Chapter to (continued on page 4) \r\nPage 2 TIGER FIJI Summer 1962 Pig Dinner Proves Memorable It was a qui et spring night and n othin g more t o those outside th e halls of Lam bda's Chapter House.

If the Chapter is to continue improving its Graduate Brother news and reports, we must ask your assistance in notifying us of changes in address, promotions or job changes, and any other significant events. R emember, what seems trivial and unimportant to you, might really be interesting to old friends and classmates who have a hard time keeping track of you. Do us a favor- keep us informed as we try to do the same for you. Thanks. Last fall Lambda had a very successful Rush and much credit goes to our Graduate Brothers for the help we received. Your aid, both in the form of financial contributions and recommendations, was greater than ever before, and we hope that this interest continues because of its great value. As those close to the Chapter know, Lambda's physical plant is not its strong est rushing point. While it is still very livable we have already e"Perienced th e loss of outstanding men this year and last for their self-expressed reasonsthey liked the rr.en in the Chapter, but they were more impressed with some other houses. rfhis only points out how extremely important tJhe alumni help is in our Rush program. Any advance information on a boy gives just the advantage we may need- the extra time to acquaint him with the ways of Fiji living that we all know and love so much. Many times in your positions you will have access to information on a young man's social, financial, and personal status within his community that one of us could never find out. You may have a better insight into his character than one of us who has known him for only a short time or through Rush week. Often, an older person is in a more effective position to influence friends or even parents who have intimate contact with the boy. With the help of an active Rush by you, Lambda can once again obtain a pledge class of the high quality we all want to see. Give us a hand-send us some info on the outstanding college-bound men in your area.
