Published by Chi iota Chapter of Phi Ga mma Delta CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS, WINTER, 1977 New Series Vol. XIII No. 1 Greeks At U of I: Corbally Notes Need Of Collegiate Greek Structure University of Illinois President John E. Corbally, in a wide-ranging in T terview last October, reaffirmed theneed for —and strength of —the college I fraternity-sorority system and Greek existence on the Champaign-Urbana campus, as well as the training and meaning he has gained from being Greek himself. "There has always been the need at most any size university to find groups to relate to closely, to exercise leadership opportunities, and to find that something 'extra' beyond the classroom, and fraternities and sororities have offered that since their origin," stressed Corbally in a conversation from his office on the Circle Campus of the University of Illinois in Chicago. "In earlier years, as now, most of this 'extra-curricular' or civic life, if you will, was to a great extent provided by the Greek system. Greek arrangements will always give a fine supplement to the classroom experience." Illinois' thirteenth president is a member of Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity's class of 1947 at the University of Washington. Dr. Corbally indicated his personal appreciation for the benefits he received from choosing the Greek way of life during college. "As a student, I found the fraternity to be a real value at Washington, which was large in size for its day (15,000 students). My experience with Phi Kappa Sigma enhanced my ability to relate to people from other "My current role on this multi- campus institution precludes any direct relationship with student organizations, which, under our structure, come under the direction of the chancellor on each campus, so I don't really have any official relationship as such," he declared. "However, I get invited to have to exercise leadership and share in group experiences I may not have received elsewhere." Corbally described his relationship to Illinois Greek houses as "more informal and fun than if I were responsible for the day-to-day ad ministrative aspects of fraternities II xW U.I.

The issue of the decline of Greek popularity in the late 1960s and sub sequent rise in recent years drew incisive evaluation from the UI adminstrative head. "The reasons for the Greek rise are not as significant as the reasons for the decline," Corbally asserted. "From my point of view, the decline was unnatural and the rise very natural. "Fraternities and sororities were lumped in as part of the 'establish ment,' and young people in the late 1960's were against anything in that vaguely-defined category. "Moreover, as I watched students in the 1960's, I detected an undue about the seriousness of life. parts of the country meaningfully, to concern Young people felt humor was im live and share with people of different backgrounds and qualifications, and i ' and sororities. moral and that one should do only 'relevant' things, whatever 'relevant' entailed.

Many dorm floors (continued on page 4) This semester, Chi Iota has a large pledge class. Twenty-one young men make up the class of '80. The BO's have the potential to be a great class. Heading the class is John Stuart. John is the oldest in his class. He is a transfer student from Kankakee who plans to be a journalist. While at Kankakee J.C., John was captain of his track and cross country teams, and was also the school's MVP in cross country. His biggest honor was being named "Sportman of the Year" last year. Another journalism student is Tom Wilkinson. Tom is from Mundelein where he attended Car- mel High School. He played football and was captain and MVP of his tennis team. We also have two more graduates of Carmel H.S., Andy Blake and Tom Kloss. Andy is from Harrington and plans to be an engineer. He played I.M.'s in high school and he hopes to play for the house. Tom is from Libertyville. He was a member of his high school golf team that finished third in the state meet. He was also all-conference in golf.

After the House Corporation meeting there was a keg and time for returning alums and undergraduates to swap stories. Most noteworthy of the returning alums was A.B.

It was set up in 1955 by Chi Iota PHI GAMMA DELTA Alumni as a "working" memorial to Dr. Kinley-certainly the kind of activity ASSOCIATION OF ILLINOIS this world-renowned brother would cherish himself. Dr. Kinley came to Illinois in the thirties, to teach economics. This was the start of a brilliant career, probably unparalled to this day, one in which the University and fraternity have shared gloriously. Although he came to teach. Dr. Kinley was such a leader that the fast-growing University soon demanded his firm and imaginative force in other tasks. He was Dean of the College of Literature and Arts, and as professor 1967 was largely responsible for the fund-raising, expansion, and re building of our chapter house in the 1950's and 1965, Chi Iota alumni set up the David Kinley Educational Foundation to promote scholarship in Chi Iota chapter.

As president-emeritus. Brother Kinley continued indispensable counsel to the university and its people until his passing in December, 1944. This 50 year association of the man and Illinois University were marked by a devotion and constant contribution to Phi Gamma Delta and Chi Iota chapter, which he helped establish in 1897. He frequently visited the chapter house until his last days, and conversations with him at Anyone desiring to include Chi Iota in his will is requested to designate the Phi Gamma Delta Association of Illinois as the beneficiary of such a bequest. By specifically naming the Association you can be assured that such funds will be ad ministered by the Directors for an appropriate and long-lasting benefit to Chi Iota.

No one brother did more for Chi Iota than David Kinley during his lifetime. He believed in individual respon sibility, in "the obligation resting on each person to make the most of his opportunities," as he once wrote. It was obvious why his achievement was so towering. It is clear also what such a man gave to his fraternity and that his brothers could not but reflect 'much of what he imparted in making Chi Iota an outstanding chapter. Spearheaded by C.E.

We thank the many brothers who have contributed to this project and if you have not done so, a check made out to the Phi Gamma Delta Association Directory Fund would be most appreciated. Please do not confuse this request with the 1976-77 annual alumni dues campaign. Therefore make sure the directory contribution is a separate check. Any surplus funds from the directory project will be set aside in a separate designated account solely to pay for the next edition of the directory which is scheduled for production in 1979 or 1980.

"Fraternities and sororities, as I have said, lend a real stage to practice the principles of working with and motivating others, in con trast to merely studying these psychological concepts in the classroom. "Fraternities provide an op portunity which is both social and also part of the educational experience. People who take advantage of that are motivated to do just that, I believe. I would not be surprised if a very high percentage of college ad ministrators were Greek, though I have no concrete figures. "One just does not get a random sample of people who choose to join fraternities or sororities. They are oriented toward taking action, working with people, and taking advantage of this unique and extra educational opportunity.

Snow hit Sands for a 15-yard lbs. and under football tour nament. Fijis, besides having an explosive offense that averaged almost 20 points per game, had a tough and stingy defense. "After our first practice I didn't think we could take first place, but after our second practice game, I knew we could take it all," said Billy Goslin, a lineman who made the all-tourney team. In the first two rounds, Fijis won two one-sided games. They defeated Scounge by a score of 27-13 and also rolled over Pikes by the score of 26-0. In the third round they met a stubborn Delta Chi team. However, the Fijis defeated them by a narrow 6-0 vic tory. The champinship game between the Phi Gams and Alpha Sigs, was close defensive battle. Alpha Sigs scored a screen passes and good runs. Their extra point attempt failed and Fijis took possession on their own 20-yard scoring pass, the conversion failed and the score at halftime was 6-6. The second half was an exciting and tense struggle. After Alpha Sigs marched the ball down to the Fiji oneyard line, with only eight plays remaining, Russ Hammer '78 caught an interception, and ran it to the 20yard line.

"Bird" much of this enthusiasm seemed to be focused on football. After losing many of our veteran football players to graduation, we still managed to put together a good enough team to make it to the quarter finals in the Dooley's Tournament before losing to Pikes in a very controversial game. Somewhat discouraged, we began our regular season by beating Alpha Sigma Phi 33-0. We then faced Delta Tau Delta, but we knew that we could give them a tough battle. Unfortunately, we lost the contest with four plays left by a safety, closing the score at 2-0, their favor. We then played P'ni Psis and won by a score of 12-0. To make the playoffs we needed to beat first rarJced ATO. Although we played one of the best games of the season against them, we lost 13-8. We were extremely upset that we had been in the division with the first and second rated teams and had only lost to them by a cumulative score of 7 points, when no other team had been within 14 points of either team in both the Dooley's Tournament and regular season. We simply knew that we were better than almost every team en tering the playoffs. It seemed as though there was but one more chance for the Fijis to prove their gridiron ability before the semester's end. This opportunity was afforded by the annual 165 lbs. and under football tournament. This tournament was something that the brothers anxiously awaited, since we knew that almost our entire A team was eligible to play in the tour nament, and that we had to prove to ourselves and everyone else that we really did have just a couple of bad Leonard H. Steele '42 is currently More details of this tournament are included in a separate article in this edition.) Needless to say, the brothers were all extremely proud of this team which proved that the Fijis definitely are number 1. Our pledge team also had a very successful season this year as they went undefeated in regular season play with a 4-0 record. This, of course, put the pledges into the play-offs, where they seemed to be doing ex tremely well until they were knocked off in the quarter-final game by Sigma Alpha Mu, who later won the pledge football title. Although we had hoped the pledges would pull in another championship, we were extremely proud of their efforts and are certain that many of them will greatly add to our A team next season. the state of offers these comments: "We are enjoying our first retirement from the USAF in 1968, while working toward another with the great state of Oklahoma.
