The Staff, DOUG OLLILA '72, Editor: BILL ELLET '71, TAKI OKAMOTO '71, MIKE RADWORTH '70, and DENNIS WOLF '70, FINIS ATTEND ACADEMY The eight Fiji Academy, the leadership school of Fhi Gamma Delta, was held at Indiana University on August 25-27. Chi Upsilon was represented by President JIM STANKIEWICZ '70 Treasiirer GORDON DECKER '70, PHIL PETERS '71, and TAKI OKAMOTO '71, Three Chicago Fijis prominent in the national fraternity were also present. They were Archon Councilor ETT.TS BUSSE '31, peter CLAUSS '55, Chief of Section V, and BERNARD DEL GIORNO '55, assistant graduate secretary. The lectures and discussion sessions dealt mainly with the practical aspects of ninning a chapter. Two discussions were about the Students for a Democratic Society and related organizations, and the drug problem. The delegates from Chicago took an active part in these discussions because of their interest in these issues. The high point in the three days was when the academy was honored with a speech by Fiji astronaut GEIE CERNAN, Purdue '56, who spoke about the beauty of the Earth as seen from the moon and stressed the oneness of mankind. Of course class and discussions were not the only thing going on at the academy, and Chi Upsilon Fijis had their share of the fun and games. A party was thrown with the brothers from Michigan State and Texas at Arlington for which a four foot can of Miller's was presented by the headquarters staff. All the participants concluded that they benefitted from the sharing of solutions to common problems. 1980 CCMMITTEE SKETCHES FUTURE OF CHI UPSILON Several brothers have been appointed to a long range planning committee, called the 1980 committee. A similar group exists in the general fraternity. At its October meeting the House Corporation unaminously agreed on the need of a com mittee composed of graduate and undergraduate brothers. The work of the committee will ex tend to internal and external problems, conditions and events T>diich might influence the chapter's strength and growth on campus. In effect, the function is to consider and anti cipate change so as to prepare better for it. The comittee members and their assignments are BERNARD DEL GIORNO '55, chairman; JAMES VICE '5^, physical plant and financing; DOUGLAS PETERSON '67 chapter Purple Legionnaire, internal administration and traditions; JAMES STANKLEIaTECZ '70 chapter president, campus affairs; and \T[NCENT REILY '6I, House Corporation President. Throughout the life of the committee others will also be asked to join in its work. Members of the committee will be talking with campus administration, graduate brothers, other fraternities and each other. As the committee will be active for the next few years, all brothers are asked to participate in it with their ideas and suggestions. \r\n^ ^ PAGE 2 NOTES ^F.Or?

The undergraduate support is at an all time high with the brotherhood really putting out a concerted effort to coordinate and participate in house functions. This effort xjas especially shoxm in our pledging five fine fellows, a high for a autum quarter rush in recent times. All committees are functioning extraordinarily well.

Thanks to the House Corporation, Chi Upsilon has a nexr Zenith color television set Tdiich xxill prove a very effective aid in our rushing efforts, '■.ith our participation continuing into the winter quarter, xre should be definitely con sidered a contender for the intramurals crown.
