The party promises to be the highlight of the weekend. Dressed with long hair, beads, top hats or derbys, the natives will come close to looking like the real Fijis of the South Pacific. Throughout this mad array of grossness and grubbi ness, the natives will attempt to "work it out" with the music pro vided by "The Orphans." And of course, there will be plenty of that fine Fiji juice downstairs for those young hippies who want to get high the "old way."

A few of the highlights of the academy were Nu Beta's second place in the competition for the Brightman Award (greatest improve ment in graduate relations), a model initiation and Pig Dinner with Na tional Officers, Section Chiefs, and Purple Legionnaires taking part, and an explanation of the ultra-conserva tive view of the secrecy policy in our Northwestern chapters.

Hall Preceptors Among campus leaders, preceptors are a noteworthy group. They work with the Dean of Men's office to maintain the proper study conditions and overall decorum of the campus residence halls. For this job, they are given their room and half board free. Since the competition and inter views for these positions are stiff, Fijis should well be proud of their preceptor brothers. Eight Fijis are preceptors this year, with half of them coming into the house with last spring's pledge class.

On every athletic field, Fijis are playing key roles in varsity teams at Rutgers. Fiji men are par ticipating in all three fall sports: football, soccer and cross country. In football, six Fijis are starters for Coach John Bateman, four on the offensive team and t\vo on de fense. Rich Koprowski and Dave Zimmerman, both juniors, have been standouts at offensive tackle, while Jim Julian adds respect to the line at guard.
