PIG DINNER The response to this year's Pig Dinner is the best it has been in many years . This is an excellent base on which to build for future undergraduate-al umni relations.

These, along with the all-college tea, helped more people to become better acquainted with our house, and were enjoyed by everyone. The Father's weekend was also in the fall term. Here the fathers of the brothers, many of them old Fiji's themselves, were able to see our fraternalism in action. The traditional "Crazy Hat Serenade" was held in late October and was again deemed a huge success due to the efforts of all of the brothers. Poverty Ball was the highlight of the fall social calendar. It was held after the Thiel Game and th e victory over the Tomcats, our traditional rivals, made the party even more enjoyable. Topping off the first term was a Birthday Party for Izzy, our housekeeper, and "mother-away-fromhome." She was 72, and marked her 13th year at Pi. Second term saw the winter cold broken by a fine pledge dance. Jack Tjaden did a fine job in getting the house primed for Greek Sing, but for lack of a little more talent the Fiji's again just failed to place in the competition. Spring term has seen the migration of the all but completed seniors to the roof, and Conneaut Lake. Coming up this term is the Fiji Island Party on May 22, and of course, Pig dinner on J une 12. \r\nSpring Issue, 1965 Fiii's Make Strong Run At lntermural ! rop ~y_ This year Pi Chapter is virtually assured of capturing the 1964-65 I.F.C. Intermural Championship. With three sports left to be played the Fijis have piled up a total of 196.5 points, for a 24 point overall lead. First term saw the touch football team tie for 5th place, while in the Turkey Trot: Lou Phillips, Dave Morrison and Bob Nickerson teamed up to run away with first place. Out on the links the Fiji golfers drove past 5 opponents for 3rd place as Bob Nickerson captured the low medalist spot for the tournament. Finally, in Volleyball, the Plll. Garns hammered out another first place as the team rema ined unde -f ea ted. Second term saw the race for th e trophy split wide open, as the purple men picked up steam and wrapped up first places in all three sorts. · h e d w1·tl1 1 1)a 11 team fi n1s T l1 e 1)as.
