Within the Fiji Castle we have a fine new group of officers to work with. There is also a great deal of potential in what we feel was a ,great pledge class this year. All this could not have come about without the guidance and steadying influence received from our Purple Legionnaire. Jack Fischer, and our facultj' advisor, Tom Williams. We arc indeed grateful for their time and attention. Unfortunately Tom Williams is unable to be with us next year, but our new faculty ailvisor, Charles Farley, has alread.v proven what a great job he can do for us. It has been a prosperous year, but the year ahead is the one that con most are: formal chapter meetings, Kubrick, Milton's loyal service, ini tiation, Harold's curly hair, rush, the Purple Pilgrim, H. Dog, the sewer that only backs up five times a year, and many more fun things that they held nearest hearts. To and dearest these twelve to we say goodbye and good luck. Amid tears it becomes my unpleasant duty to pay shallow homage to these su perb individuals. SUKH DEV BASSI, who narrowly missed the outstanding pledge award, understands women, biology, and dirty songs. Sukh, G.D.'s most re cent Kenya initiate, was first drawn to the "castle" by Milt's cooking.

First, should you join a fraternity; second, what should you look for in a fraternity. Undoubtedly, you will hear many arguments, both for and against fraternity life, and then it will be up to you to make a decision. Unfortunately, Rush Week is a period of confusion to the often pros pective fraternity man and his deci sion is too often based on the emo tion of the moment rather than a true evaluation of the situation. We are proud of varied interest and abilities of our members. We, of the Phi Gamma Delta, take great pride in our chap ter, and ask only that you look at our record and make your decision in an open-minded manner. Too often, incoming freshmen have decided which fraternity they wish to pledge before they even reach are based for pointment.

There are several things to keep in mind when selecting which fra ternity you want to call home for four years.
