SILVER FOR THE CLASS OF '43 N EW WOMEN'S DORM A DESIGN FOR A DECADE AT DPU Within earshot of the Lambda Fiji House and across the ever popular "Dells" is the realization of DePauw's expansion program, "A Design for a Decade". Breaking away from the traditional colon1al architecture of the DePauw Campus, the modern, diamond-shaped dormatories will provide the much needed housing for DePauw's independent women, beginning Fall 1968. The dorm is the beginning of a $32, 724,500 expansion program which will eventually include a new science center; a performing arts center comprising a music building, auditorium, and a theatre building; a gymnasium-fieldhouse, a swimming pool; and, finally, a new health center. An additional sum of money is also being set aside for a special landscaping scheme which will enhance the new architecture and blend with the setting. This expansion program was chal- lenged by the Ford Foundation with a $2,000,000 grant provided that DePauw could raise an additional $6,000,000 from other private sources by June, 1969, three years from the challenge date. This significant endorsement is one of the highest given to a college in the nation today. The challenge to the university is also a challenge to DePauw's alumni. Only through the support of its graduates can DePauw continue a fitting excellence in liberal arts education. Today, the small college faces extinction if it must raise tuition to cover rising costs and compete with the impressive research facilities of the state schools. DePauw's attraction has never been in its physical plant, although in the past it was quite adequate, but rather in the quality of education and the atmosphere in which it is taught. If this type of ed(Continued on Page 4) During the war years from 1941 to 1945, male enrollment on the DePauw campus hit a drastic low. In fact, Phi Gam was one of the few chapters on campus that was able to stay active. In looking back 25 years one wonders just what happened to those alumni that went to school during those trying years because for 1943 Tiger Fiji has only two files on record. Thomas Gene Paxton and Charles Tucker both have sent us recent information on themselves. We congratulate the class of 1943 on their 25th anniversary this spring and give you reports of two alums. For those of you that recall housebills, will surely remember Thomas Gene Paxton. "Pax," as he was affectionately called, today resides at 1905 E. Oakland Avenue in Bloomington, Illinois. He majored in economics, and is now Secretary-Treasurer and salesman for Paxtons, Inc. at 207 E . Washington Street in Bloomington. "Pax" was active in many ways while on campus. Besides being a member of the varsity swimming team, he was a vital member of the first married team on campus. In 1942, "Pax" married a pretty little Alpha Phi and today is the proud father of three children, Patricia Ann, 22, Cynthia, 13, and John, 19, who happens to be a Fiji at Hanover College. "Pax" is also active within the community. He's been treasurer of YMCA for 6 years as well as president of the TB Association and the Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. These are only a part of the various activities that "Pax" is affiliated with. With all this, "Pax" has not forgotten Fiji for he is the secretary of the local Phi Garn Graduate Chapter. The House President of that illustrious class of 1943, Charles H . Tucker, better known as "Tuck," today resides at 20 Kraft Avenue in Broxville, New York, ith his 5 child(.Continued on Page 4) \r\nMay 20, 1968 THE TIGER FIJI Page Two AS STATE DAY IN .IND/ANA On Saturday, March 9, 1968, Lambda chapter hosted the 1968 Section Convention. The four hours of conferences, lectures, etc. were held during the afternoon at Orchard Day School, Indianapolis, and were led by present and graduate Fijis. Two important items were discussed in the general discussion session following introductory remarks by Section Chief Joe Carney. Mike Touhey, the only undergraduate Fiji at Indiana State University, spoke on the progress of the proposed Fiji chapter at I.S.U . His talk was followed by a general discussion led by Da~e Jensen, DePauw University Student Body President and a Lambda Fiji, on The F ra ternity, _the College, and America. Five seperate discussions on such topics as "Chapter Presidents" and "Fraternity La:w" followed the general discuss'i on session. Leaders of the. five discussion groups were Joe Carney; John Weissert, Don Mighell, Bill Miller, and Phil Smith. A short recapitulation session followed the separate Fiii Isle Takes New Dimension This year's Fiji Isle. was one of the most thrilling we of Lambda have ever put on. It once again encompassed the entire old house as we made. the pond and suspension bridge sparkle under new red and green lights. The Fiji man on top of the porch soaked many an islander as the wind sprayed his spouting water around the entrance. An alligator as well as a duck and about forty fish occupied our outside lagoon. Inside, a log hut and small pond with various colored lights created atmosphere for the dancers as they listened to the music of "Some Thermal Pudding'', a promising group from Chicago who have a groovey beat all their own . With the inspiring music all around, everyone was caught up in the stimulating excitement. The backyard had a new addition, a thur,ougbly thatch roofed hut, with waterfall, and a new flaming volcano, that nearly caused a real holocaust. The , sunset, hazy sky, and spring warmth set off a romantic mood which every brother made sure to make the most of that night. It had to of been one of the most cozy Isles we've had here in a long time. discussions. The S ection Chief and the various Purple Legionaires were invited to comment at this time. While the Section Convention was taking place, other members from the five Indiana chapters'"pf Phi Gamma Delta (Hanover, Wabash, DePauw, Indiana U ., and Purdue) were busy with the many events scheduled for the annual Fiji State Day held in Indianapolis. Morning activities included bridge and bowling tournaments and an elimination basketball tournament. The final matches of these various tournaments were held in the afternoon, the Beta graduate chapter winning bridge and Wabash, basketball. The State Day banquet was held at the Indiami.polis Sheriton-Lihcoln Hotel. The dinner featured a talk by Di-. E d~in H . Cady, Big Ten Faculty Representative for Indiana University. Reports · from all the chapter presidents were given at this time with acting president Bary Krause reportil).g for Lambda. The annual song competition for the "Flowing Bowl" trophy topped off the evening with Wabash taking the honors. The award for best Indiana Phi Gamma Delta Chapter went to Zeta Chapter of )ndiana University in view · of their high academics,. IM and varsity sport standings, and activities on campus. :Jlllil l lllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllll.!: ~ - = Sports Summary = := = Lambda is again having a solid year in all campus intramural competition.

If the Garns can win softball and any one of the other spring sports, the first place ·· trophy will be recaptured from last years' winner, Sigma Nu. And Lambda's chance of winning two of these sports is excellent indeed. Led by Captain-shortstop Bill Stoner ('68), the glovemen are off to a 6-0 start and have cinched a playoff berth. A combination of timely base hits and air-tight defensive work has kept the Garns' record perfect. One tough game remains with Sigma Chi, who own a 5-1 record.

Special thanks should go to the graduate brothers on the Board of Chapter Advisors who provide aid and counsel. These men have allowed us to see an example of maturity and leadership in action which are most virtuous qualities to be followed in these trying years of college growth. Thanks to our House Corporation, Section Chief, and Purple Legionnaire for also sharing in setting these examples in providing and administrating the undergraduate housing. If Phi Garn is to stay on top in the coming years we must not find security in our past accomplishments but rather continuously strive to find new and better means. This demands hard work of all of us, graduates as well as the men in the house. One of the most important jobs of the fraternity is rush. I would like to ask for all recommendations and help any of you would find it possible to give us this summer and in early September for another successful pledge class. We have had many recommendations thus far; with severai of these men already spring pledged . Please send the names of any admirable young men you would like to see Lambda Fijis to : Larry Downs, Rush Co-Chairman 70 Ronald Dr. Decatur, Illinois 62526 Fraternally, Barry Krause, Acting President Ferge! Graduate Relations Our supply of material to use on graduate members is steadily dwindling. If you haven't contacted us lately please drop us a line letting u s know hat's going on. Or perhaps if you know of anything about a brother who has not been able to get .in touch please contact us on the matter. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated as we ant this paper to be a link between the alums and Lambda. Any suggestions that you may have to offer would be welcomed.

(Continued on Page 4) EDITORIAL Revolution and Growth By RUDY HOKANSON. Co-editor Today on our campus as well as universities across the nation a movement has come about often refered to as the "student revolt." Students have suddenly found the authority imposed on them by administrations and trustees apparently over-bearing. The impact this has in fraternal living is very interesting and I feel very pertanent to our fluxing society. Suddenly there is an increase in concern about self-commitment and involvement which wasn't noticeable a year ago. There is a splitting of opinions within a house which as time goes on have a unifying effect with the underlying realization that in group living as we have at DePauw and in the fraternity there is a responsibility to respect each individual member of the group. Taking on demands that we must strive to undeTstand our differences and learn to live together, brotherhood implies mutual dependency upon each member of the house. Fraternity and brotherhood belong to all our fellow men. We can more fully realize these goals by the applicable effort each member of the house can put towards his frate·r nal brother. Brotherhood is meaning more than having good times together, it's growing and flexing ones attitude so that his beliefs can be respected as well as: his neighbor's. We a t L ambda are gradually learning to become strong and responsible men. This is because of the position we find ourselves by being members of th
