THE EDITOR SPEAKS— I was both amazed and pleased with the tremendous response given to my cry for graduate news headed "We Need Information." Thus far, I have received over 180 replies to this request. I certainly hope that the remainder of our graduate chap ter will see what their brothers have been doing, and will want to let them know what they have done in return.

We have already captured first and second place honors, this year, and are sighting in on several first place trophies in the second se mester. FIJI'S got off to a slow start in I.M. volleyball, this year, by losing our first game, but bounced back quickly to defeat our next six oppon ents and to win the second place honors in that department. In I.M. ping pong, however, it was almost a clean sweep for Phi Gamma Delta, as the "FIJI Five" won 27 out of 30 games and the coveted first place trophy. Winter intramurals have just started, and Gamma Deuteron looks a good bet to win the basketball, bowling, and wrestling champion ships. Our basketball team has al ready gotten off to a good start un der the capable leadership of our I.M. manager, Tom Lundgren, and the other winter sports will start soon. \r\nPage Eight THE flLliJllfll FIJI ROBERT K.
