The annual Norris Pig Dinner of
the Xi Deuteron Chapter and the
Cleveland (Eta) Graduate Chapter
will be held Thursday, April 18, at
the Cleveland Athletic Club.
Featured as speaker this year
will be Louis A, *'Bud" Mangels

Long active in Fiji activities. Bud is
also a former Purple Legionnaire,
Field Secretary, and Section Chief.
He is now working for Ohio Bell

seventh floor Persian Room.
The Pig Dinner is the best op
portunity of the year to get to see
old friends, undergrads and grads
alike- This will also be an excellent
chance to meet the new Xi Deuteron
Cabinet and the new pledges, one of
whom was overheard to say recently,
"Kiss the pig's what?"
