310UTE TO: 'crmr.ii FIJI (l^obel (XAilduff NEWS Issue #1 LETTER Februarrir 1970 ()Sahlberg ()Williams K)Euson ~ In an effort to obtain better participation from the recent alumni and the undergraduates that -are living out, we have decided to initiate a news letter to tell about the coming events at the Fiji house. Hopefully this will let the outsiders know ic-k ' house, both in spirit and in actual involvement. about the events and will draw them closer to the In way of news from the first semester, we are now second in IM's and are seeking our first league championship. All the sports so far this semester are doing well and are well on their way to league championships. Socially, we have an active semester ahead with TG*s, parties, and Alumni Dinners. We have had Rush already this semester, and at the present time have 12 pledges# Rush was quite different than in the pas1i with each brother pre senting his own image in an unusually relaxed way. The result was spontaneous action— guitar playing, cards, jokes— that impressed the brothers almost as much as the Rushees. COMING EVENTS February 7 — Alumni Dinner and Basketball Game— There will be an alumni dinner, cocktail hour, and basketball game beginning at 12:00. The event is scheduled to improve alumni support for the under graduate chapter, especially in light of the failure of the Norris Pig Dinner last semester. After lunch, there is a basketball game with Northwestern, fol lowed by a cocktail hour at the house. Dinner will be served, followed by more cocktails and reminIsing about the old days at Phi Gamma Delta. It should be a fun-filled afternoon so we are look ing for all the brothers to attend. \r\n-2- Social Events— Ihose of you that were lucky enough to be at the house at the gambling party know how well the brothers are able to give parties. One of the rea sons for the success of that party was the large num ber of brothers living out that took the ~ time to come. The rest of February looks to be an active month on the social side. A new look in TG's has been presented by allowing the sorority to come to the house before hand for an exchange dinner. It should be fim to be able to eat with the girls before they come over on Friday.

'4 P.S. In light of recent house acitnity, there has been considerable interest shown in a new game, box hockey. Seldom is there a time that the current rink is not in use, and many of the incompetent brothers living out find the game amusing until they come up against the champs of the house. There has been talk of a Stanley Cup series, but Sfeanley needs all the cups that he can get to kaep the puck out of his net. Myron would be good if it werent for the malignent growth that has taken over his head. Max cant even see the ice, but is the luckiest around, A real contest would ensue, but the competition is so fierce that the teams would never stand up. An open challenge to any fo3)lish outsider that thinks he is man enough take on any of the above any time. ■•..'i'' '*• 4' >- ,' t ■ ,i K- ' . ft - I' ' ii 'i' " •
