Indeed the evening seemed controlled from be ginning to very late conclusion by a spe cial spirit of delight In brotherhood- a spir it we recognize Is perhaps always less a function of our efforts to host a fine din ner than It Is simply the result of the af fection so many of our graduates have for their fraternity and the joy they derive from a periodic return to PsI.

The last two evenings saw the Academy conduct their Norrls Pig Dinner and Model Initiation. In the initiation ceremony Brothers Bruzas and Welch found them selves once again "pledges," having been selected as participants In what was an Impressive ceremony which sought to show the ritual perfomed perfectly. The highlight of the Academy, however, for those of us from PsI was, as It has been Psi's delegates to Fiji Academy, from left to right, standing: Greg Bruzas, Dave Welch, seated: Rich Blastic, Jay Want. By Greg Bruzas ('82) Phi Gamma Delta's 16th annual Fiji Academy was held this past August at In diana University in Bloomington. Nearly four hundred and fifty brothers from more than one hundred Phi Gam chapters came together for five days of training in leader ship and chapter efficiency. Psi delegates Rich Blastic ('82), Greg Bruzas ('82), Cor responding Secretary Jay Want, ('81), and David Welch ('81)found themselves quick ly caught up in the myriad activities and the rapid exchange of ideas that is the Academy experience. The week began with a unique and re vealing series of exercises conducted by Brother Robert Davis, (Texas '52), Presi dent of the National Leadership Training Methods, Inc. This series of programs sought to describe leadership methods and identify for the delegates their leader ship strengths and weaknesses. The core of the Academy was, however, a series of classes conducted by National Fraternity officers and staff on subjects ranging from rush and graduate relations to finance and "management by object ives." The week's more academic activities concluded with a series "of more special ized seminars on topics from "How to Plan a Successful Pig Dinner to "Chapter Presi dent's Legal Liability." Most controversial was a lengthy panel discussion on "hazing" at which all dele gates were required. The National Fra ternity has renewed its intermittent ef forts to clean up the "traditional prac tices," of many chapters—evidence of this was the adoption at last year's Ekklesia of an increase in the maximum fine which may be levied against a chapter found guilty of hazing from one hundred to one thousand dollars. The participants found themselves occupied solely with an at tempt to define "hazing:" as there was lit tle consensus on the question as a whole. for other generations of attending Wabash Phi Gams, the presentation of the National Awards. Psi Chapter received for the year just ended, first of all, honor able mention In both the Horace I. Brightman Award for Gr/iduate Relations and the Newton D. Baker Social Service Cup. Our continued dominance In scholarship was rewarded as we were recognized for having posted, for 16 consecutive years, an academic grade point average above the all men's average on our campus, a particularly notable accomplishment in that only three other chapters in nearly one hundred and twenty can boast of a better record. Finally, we placed fifth In the Orion H. Cheney Cup, given to the best overall chapter, joining Hanover ond I.U.'s Phi Gam chapters In the top five In the Fraternity. This Is a significant recognition of the strength of Phi Gamma Delta in In diana, and a notable achievement for In diana Fiji's and for Psi, though it is a per formance we would like to improve upon. Any sense of competitiveness ot Acade my was overbalanced, however, by the presence there of a spirit of friendliness and even brotherhood. Indeed, each of us from Psi returned to the chapter with a better sense than before of both the scope of our international Fraternity and of the success so many of our chapters en joy, and also much impressed by the de gree to which brotherhood in Phi Gamma Delta can extend bevond chanter bounds. FiJIS STRONG three seasons. In 1977 the Scarlet ad vanced all the way to the Division III Na tional Finals and a trip to the Amos Alonzo Stogg Bowl, where they fell to Widener College in a 39-36 thriller. This year Psi Chapter of Phi Gamma delta adds a significant contribution to this winning tradition. We at Psi can boast that ten of our brothers are on the Little Giant roster, including four starters. Heading the list is senior captain Tim Kennedy. A 230-pound defensive tackle from Indianapolis, Kennedy is in his third season as a starter for Wabash. Kennedy's statistics in 1978 earned him a Little All- American nomination and a spot on the All-Fiji Football Team for the second con secutive year. Last season "TK" made o team-high 95 tackles-21 of them unas sisted, recovered two fumbles, and regis tered five quarterback sacks. Kennedy was a primary cog in the Wabash defense that was the third best in the nation, allowing just over six points per contest. Another standout from Psi Chapter is quarterback Dave Broecker. A 5-11, 173- pound freshman, Broecker stepped into the starting role at Wabash after guiding his Carmel, IN high school team to a per fect 13-0 record and the state class AAA championship. In the Little Giants' 1979 opener against Albion College, Broecker completed 8 of 13 passes for 103 yards, in cluding a first quarter 45-yard touchdown strike. Sophomores Joe Pfennig and Rich Blas tic have also earned the starting nod for Wabash. Pfennig, a 195-pound defensive end from Cincinnati, turned in a superb performance against Albion with eight tackles and two quarterback sacks. For his efforts Pfennig was named the game's outstanding defensive player. Blastic is a 5-10, 206-pound offensive center from Hammond, Indiana. In addition to the four starters, Psi sup plies six reserves for the Little Giants. Sophomore Dave Kennedy, who has been timed at 9.9 seconds in the 100-yard dash, is the Little Giants' number two tailback. Sophomores Chris Carr and Bart Kercher ON FOOTBALL SQUAD are second team offensive linemen.

Jeff writes: It's really beautiful... the college buildings and churches are built right into the old town wall... each college at Oxford has its own well-kept garden and grassy court yard. The part I like best ore the Pubs... there's nothing like them back home. Another added plus is that in Jeff's classes there are eight men and twenty-seven women. His classmates' come from such American schools as Denison, Oberlin, Princeton and Bryn Mawr and from Hol land, Germany and Austria as well. We look forward to John and Jeff's re turn next fall, and given the popularity of off-campjjs study have resigned ourselves to the loss, if only temporary, of other brothers who may seek college experi ence beyond Wabash in the semesters to come.
