The San Francisco Ekklesia The 1972 Ekklesia was held in San Francisco in late August. Jamie Pratt represented the Undergraduate Chapter. Bill Miller, our Section Chief, and Richard Crowder were the local grads present. Ralph V\/oodley, a 1948 Lamda Iota, worked as a represent3tive of the Alpha Graduate Chapter. Brother Woodley presently is living in Palo Alto, Bill Smith, leader of the Rochester Crad Chapter, crossed the continent tb enjoy the Ekklesia. Bill graduated in 1939. Fred Foley, a 1945 grad from Livermore, California, was also present. The Ekklesia began with an evening chartered boat ride from sunset to 10:00 P.M. The ride included a jazz band, dinner and drinks. Bill Miller's "caucas" resulted in a super beer blast. Getting into full swing, Memphis State and Western Michigan received their charter. Jim Lang, the host of T.V.'s "Dating Game" was the surprise M.C. Doc Crowder na rrowl missed being designated an Archon. This was really quite an honor, for he was greatly handicapped by being nominated late. A gathering place for all the Phi Gamm's in San Franciscd was the Rite Old Poodle Dog Restaurant. The place is sign ificant, in that in 1906 Frank Norris first read "Exiles , Toas.t" at a Pig Dinner held there. Grads Welcome To Meals We are continuing our meal policy of last semester.

This offense is desj-gned, to give Purdue's fleet runners, Ctis .Armst 'ng and Daryl Stingley, outside running room. Junior Bob Bobrowsk • has won the starting 7B job. His running a-bility makes him much more adaptable to the whisbone than last year's nuufoer one IB, Gary Danielson. Steve Burke, Purdue Fiji and .junior 0,3, has always been a dropback passer and is suffering with the wishbone. Jack Spellmen, a senior Fiji, is playing fullback, but has been hampered aomevPnat by hamstring problems. Sophomore Phi Gamms, Pete Gross and Rick Oliver, are working at line-' backer. Bill Matthews is playing at the cornerhack soot and big Dale 'ialker is playing defensive end and is punting. There should be plenty of action in "Excitement '72". Phi Gamma Delt-'^ has also made arrangements to sit vjith Pi Beta Phi at the games to add to the action.

RecentIjr, brothers have been compleinins sbout the poor study etmosobere in the study rooin in the bssement. .As a result, we have decided to swit b the T.V. room with the study room downstairs. The couches and the T.V. were moved downstairs and several study tables and eotra lamps were put into the "ne*-:'" study room. Also vie are trying to add to the library and possibly install overhead lighting for an improved study atmosphere. The "new" T.V. room already had a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere and new indoor-outdoor carpeting v/ss laid in there last year. We are still in the e perimentation stage, but most of the brothers agree that this arrangement is much more functional. After all, what's better than watching Sunday football dov;n at Tillie's.' Rush for the Best Rush for the 1972-73 school year is now getting into full swing. Thanhs to our grads and undergrads the rush committee has received a total of 90 recommend at .ions for prospective Phi G-amms.

Scheduled are a canoe trip, a picnic with dates, two dances, as well as our annual "roller derby" shating party, just to mention a few. ThanUs again for all the recommend at ions--we can't miss tahing another great class.
