The house has purchased tickets for Saturday, May 6. A number of brothers ordered more tickets than they will be needing and they will be sold to in terested alumni on a first come, first serve basis. The tickets are for the day after the Frank Morris Pig Dinner, so perhaps some alumni who were not planning to come in just for the show, would con sider attending the Pig Dinner and finishing up the weekend at Waa-Mu.

The show this year is titled "Wake Me at 8:00,' Aiding in its creation is brother Mike Spound '79 who wrote a number of comedy scenes for the show.

Phi Chapter's Pig Dinner was reinstated in May 1972, with only three graduate brothers in atten dance. Dr. William R. Hauser, former Archon presi dent, was the speaker. Since then, the dinner has consistently grown in attendance and stature to the point where almost 50 graduate brothers attended last year. Past speakers have included Northwestern football coach John Pont, Archon Councilor Jim Vice, Chicago Tribune foreign correspondent Phil Caputo and Executive Secretary William S. Zerman. The first Pig Dinner was held at the University of California in 1893. To criticize two other fraternities' domination of the glee club, the Fijis brought a bar rel labeled U. of C. Glee Club up to a class lecture platform. inside the barrel was a squealing pig. The pig tumbled out of the barrel, was pursued, and finally caught by several Fijis. They brought it back to their house and a large feast ensued. Every member present was called upon to renew his allegiance to the pig by kissing its snout. After the banquet, Frank Morris (California '94), suggested that the dinner become an annual event. When Frank Morris could not attend the dinner in 1900, he pro posed "An Exiles Toast" expressing his desire to return for the dinner celebration.

Since the elections of February 5, Phi Chapter has accelerated her already rapid pace of Improvement and activity. An extensive social calendar promises to make Spring Quarter one of the most enjoyable closely, and has been able to obtain small profits as planned. The commissary department began this year behind the budget plan and had losses of ever. Our continuous devotion to social service proj several hundred dollars. ects has won us the campus Social Service Award However, the accountant has recently reported substantial profits for the commtssary due to for the second consecutive year, A highly motivated commissary committee has made great Im provements In the quality of our food and the care of the kitchen. The newly formed Special Events com mittee Is working to Improve our relations with University administration and faculty. This Spring, we are hosting Cocktail Parties every Friday at 5:00, We heartily welcome all our graduate brothers to at tend If you are ever in the area; these get-togethers are an excellent opportunity to chat informally with the actives and look over the capital Improvements we have made on the house. And speaking of hearty welcomes. It's not too ear ly to begin thinking about our Pig Dinner, which will be held Friday, May 5, Our guest speaker this year will be Lee Ellis, Executive VIce-Presldent of Univer sity Finances, With budgets and tuition a growing point of controversy at Northwestern, Mr, Ellis should provide an exciting and Insightful commen tary, The undergraduates have begun already their preparations for the dinner, and I sincerely hope that you will find the time to attend what promises to be a fraternal experience of the highest order. The strength of Phi Chapter Is growing every year: committees are Improving constantly as the spirit of the actives becomes more and more optimistic and diligent, Aithough everyone is rightfuiiy proud of our chapter, we recognize that there Is much we can and should do. We are working not only for our own benefit, but also for the future. The task of preserv ing the fine tradition of Phi Chapter Is one which our graduate brothers can share In, not only through money contributions, but by visiting and advising us as well, I hope you will think of us when you can, and always feel welcome to come back. Fraternally, Brad Shorr Phi Chapter President Perge! The chapter department has adhered to the budget increased income and a decrease in expenses for provisions. But the house department has been the major area of concern, for It has the largest loss In the chapter which will decrease our planned profit for this year. Even though expenses are not damaging, there are several future costs which will reduce our flexibility. Within the last 7 years, the financial stability of the chapter has fluctuated considerably. But beginning three years ago Phi has consistently improved and is now sound and secure. However, the physical condition of the house has been neglected for several years, and major repairs are now underway. For instance, at the beginning of this year the inclement weather froze and ruptured several heating pipes throughout the house, and our aging domestic water heating systems has failed. The heating coils were made around the second World War and are extremely expensive to replace. Other major repairs are going to be undertaken in the bathrooms, where one ceiling has collapsed and another Is threatening to follow suit. We are planning to replace the ceilings and floors of the bathroom showers at a cost of several thousand dollars. The chapter also hopes to continue cosmetic improvements of the house, such as recarpeting the hallways and living room, and replacing lamps and furniture. We have recently been able to afford new carpet for the television room, new tile for the foyer, and new mattresses. Furthermore, the House Corporation is doing an outstanding job in assisting us with financial support and advice. However, these repairs are expensive and the Chapter can afford to pay only some of these costs. It is the House Corporation that will bear the burden of many of these expenses, and their efforts to raise capital from the Graduate Brothers will enable us to maintain and improve the House for many years to come. Fraternally, Steve Burton Dear Brothers, Phi Chapter This year the chapter has been operating in the Treasurer black with a net worth value of $8,000,00 We also have a savings account balance of $8400,00, which will be used for capital Improvements and expansion Perge! \r\npage 6 The Quill April 1978 Alumni, Undergraduates T Over Christmas vacation seven alumni and under graduate brothers from Phi Chapter made a tour of the Soviet Union in atrip sponsored by Northwestern University. The trip, made up of 178 people affiliated with Northwestern, lasted more than a week. The group left Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Dec. 28 and returned to Chicago on Jan. 7. The brothers making the trip were undergraduates Bryan Solmos '78, Mark Howard '78, Brad Shorr '79, Erwin Aulis'80 and recent alumni Bob Jacobsen '77, Rich Connell '77, Jeff Erickson '77. According to Brother Aulis, the group spent most of its time in the Soviet Union touring. The group's itinerary was composed of trips to the cities of Moscow, Leningrad and Tallinn, the latter city being available to the average Russian consumer is vastly inferior to what we see in the United States. He said that Brother Howard spent a day in the massive GUM department store in Moscow, and he couldn't find anything of good enough quality to buy. According to Brother Shorr, the inferior quality of consumer goods and their scarcity, and long lines that are common everywhere, are the roots of much discontent in the Soviet Union. Brother Shorr said Americans are approached quite often by Russians on the street who wish to purchase Western goods from the Americans. The requests range from chewing gum to blue jeans. According to Brother Solmos, the most interes ting event of the trip stemmed from one of these encounters. located on the Gulf of Finland. Travelers Meet Dissidents Russians Economically Oppressed When asked for their impressions of the Soviet Union, the brothers all seemed to agree that the general economic condition of the average Russian was the thing that struck them the most. According to Brother Solmos, "You hear how miserably the people live over there and after traveling there I can say that it's really true." He illustrated this by pointing out that the average Russian earns about $150 per month, which even with the governmentally controlled prices falls about $50 a month short of what is needed to live comfortably. Brother Solmos also said the quality of goods He said that he. Brother Shorr and a couple other members of the tour were approached in the GUM store by a young man named Ireq, who asked the group if they had any American blue jeans they could sell him. According to Brother Solmos, "Brad and I talked to this guy most of the afternoon. "It turned out he was a Russian dissident who had quit the State University because he didn't want to do his required stint in the army after he graduated. He had majored in Civil Aeronautics while in college, but he is now a carpenter," Bryan said. Brother Shorr added, "Later in the afternoon the conversation turned to politics. Ireq wanted to leave the Soviet Union because of the government and move to another communist country or a country with a communist party." According to Brad, Ireq said that the problem with the Soviet government is that younger people now don't join the Communist party because of their political ideology, but instead they join the party seeking social status. KGB Might Be Watching After the conversation, Bryan and Brad gave Ireq a pair of blue jeans, some cigarettes and about $4 in U.S. currency. When Bryan tried to give Ireq the gift in broad daylight, Ireq refused fearing the KGB, the Russian secret police, might be watching the i llegal exchange. Ireq later accepted the gift when taken to a dark corner. Bryan and Brad last saw Ireq carefully hiding his gift under his coat while hurrying home. Ireq was not the only dissident the group met during the trip. Brother Aulis met a religious dissident in Moscow. According to Erwin, the man who was a Baptist in Bryan Solmos '78 poses with a Russian who accepted his gift of a Phi Chapter shirt. a country that encourages aetheism, felt persecuted in Russia. The man claimed that he was denied a visa to visit Poland because of his beliefs. \r\npage 7 April 1978 The Quill in a picture taken after their arrival in Russia, Phi's Soviet voyagers are: (I to r) Rich Connell '77, Erwin Aulis '80, Jeff Erickson '77, Bob Jacobson '77, Brad Shorr '79, Bryan Solmos '78 and Mark Howard '78. Brother Aulis said his job is to translate medical texts from English to Russian. Phi's Fiftieth The thing that made the greatest impression on Brother Aulis was the Russian lifestyle. He said that they were at least 15 years behind the United States in development. Coming Up On March 18, 1981, Phi Chapter will celebrate the While all the brothers agreed that the trip was a learning experience, there were a few complaints. 50th anniversary of its re-establishment at North Brother Aulis pointed out that the tourists were given complete freedom of movement for as far as they could walk; they were given no transportation during their free time. He said this fact combined Because of the importance of the golden anniver sary, which will take place in the final quarter of the with their total unfamiliarity with the language kept them from traveling too extensively without a guide. Food Bad But the other complaint, which all listed as their worst was the food they were served. Even though the tourists were taken to the finest restaurants, they found the food to be between bad and inedible. On this point Brother Shorr confessed that at one western University in 1931. current freshman class's senior year, preliminary plans are already being formulated at this early date. Phi Chapter President Brad Shorr '79 says one of the goals of his administration is to get the ball roll ing on the event. According to Brother Shorr, "The celebration has been tentatively put under the dual management of the Graduate Relations committee and the newly formed Special Events Committee, t)ut I expect the current freshman class to take the initiative in the planning. "From what I've seen, the freshman class seems point, he and Brother Howard were so hungry that really excited about It," Brad concluded. they bought two 8-ounce hams and ate them in their hotel room, tearing the meat apart with their bare niversary, Tod Tanner'81 replied, "I'm really excited hands. Brother Solmos then interjected, "After eating that Russian food you learn to appreciate the fraternity's food." Among the travelers there seemed to be con sensus on this point. When asked to comment on the upcoming an about the fact that we will be able to take part in the planning. A great responsibility has been placed in our class's lap and I'm sure we'll be able to fulfill it." Graduate Relations Committee Chairman David Price '80 summed up Phi's attitude, "I'm ready to get going on it now, and I can promise it's going to be one great celebration." \r\nBill Delphos Re-elected As Purple Legionnaire Bill Delphos was recently re-elected by Phi Chapter to be the Purple Legionnaire. However, the election was merely a formality due to the fact that Bill is such an integrai part of the house. Bill's position is one of being an "invaluable resource for our chapter," as President Brad Shorr stated,"never content with our past successes, he is always finding new ways to improve our programs." Grad Relations Improve One of his primary concerns has been improving Purple Legionnaire Bill Delphos meets with House Corporation President Bob Rinnan and President Brad Shorr. graduate relations. Last year's Pig Dinner was a tremendous success, but because of Bill's efforts this year and last year, the Pig Dinner this year Rush Seeks Recs should prove to be one of Phi's most successful. Included in his plans for this year is a suggestion to telephone all area Fijis before sending out invitations to increase response from local alumni. Also, Bill devised the "buddy system" for graduate relations. Under this plan, each active would be responsible for contacting alums from his own area. Through this plan. Bill hopes that close personal relationships will be built between actives and alums. Dear Brothers, At Phi Chapter it's never too early to start thinking about the upcoming fall rush. Beginning in May, a concentrated effort towards pledging the best pledge class on campus becomes the goal of every active brother. At this time, personal letters are sent out from every active to incoming freshmen residing in areas near the actives' homes. Personal visits dur ing the summer are the key to the rush effort, along with additional phone calls and letters. BOA Revived The Board of Chapter Advisors has been revived Work week begins on September 12, where all the actives help in preparing the house for the rush week by Bill Delphos. Under his direction, committee to corne. This year's pians include new carpeting in chairman have detailed for him their specific the living room, structural repair of the bathrooms and repairing the staircase along with the usual all- problems. Now, Bill is attempting to contact alums with special expertise in those particular areas. Once the new Board gets going, it should serve to solve most of the house's problems effectively and effiecientiy. Bill is not afraid to criticize the chapter, and he is nr h)'® offering a workable to eliminate problem he has pointed solution out. Moreover, Bill'sa guidance may serve to ease a situation or make one run smoother. Bill's objective view of the house is one that is vital to us. Offers Advice According to Shorr, "Bili does not wait for us to come to him with a difficult problem, he advises us consistently so that we can prevent one from forming." Indeed, with Bill's aid, our at once touchy financial situation has been corrected to one of stability and our budget is now immune from impending financial disaster. Again Shorr comments, "Bill has given a great house cleanup. The most important week of the year. Rush Week, begins on September 16. In pledging a rushee, it is essentiai that every active has met him and is strongly in favor of extending a bid. This allows for the pledging of young men of very high caliber. As an added feature of formal rush, two parties are be ing planned during the week. The program has been very successful in the past and will undoubtably be the same this year. Our alumni can facilitate the chapter's efforts in pledging a class which wil l not only be a source of pride to the chapter, but to the fraternity as well. Recommendations sent to the chapter on worthy freshmen entering NU greatly enhances our rush ef fort. These recommendations provide a strong base for rush week in September. If you know of a freshman who would make a good Fiji, please in form me and have a part in the continued success of Phi Chapter and Phi Gamma Delta. Fraternally, Erwin Aulis Rush Chairman deal of himself to our house unselfishly, and, because of that, I consider him a great asset, both as a person and as a Purple Legionnaire." Perge! \r\npage 9 The Quill April 1978 Pancake Breakfast Benefits the American Cancer Society This spring Phi chapter is going to continue its biggest sociai service project of the year. On May 21, the 2nd annuai Fiji Aii-Campus Pancake Breakfast is going to be held. The breakfast is a benefit event for the American Cancer Society. As in last year's event, the whole chapter has donated its time and energies in dif As Dave Boss and Larry Clifford said, "Much of college is self centered...but when a group of guys work together in a way that doesn't directly benefit themselves it's a great feeling...the chapter tone improves and the ties between the brothers become stronger." ferent committees: publicity, ticket sales, cooking, waiters, and food. Many of the brothers are presently working on gaining the overwhelming support of last year's degree. The project was endorsed by the Evanston chapter of the American Cancer Society. Many local merchants donated food and supplies to the event. Publicity for the event even reached Chicago through radio stations that broadcast in formation on the breakfast. Preliminary ticket sales of last year were nearly 450. Because of last year's success of the money ob tained from the breakfast, the house is working towards a goal of over 1,000 dollars. The chapter is really excited about the dinner because of the successful money raising experience from the Dance Marathon held earlier this year. Jim Berkenstadt danced the whole 30 hours and raised the 6th highest amount of money on campus. It is a great reflection on the dedication of the brothers in going out to gather pledges. At the same time, Jeff Kinzei took a group of brothers to several retirement homes and put on a show. The many Quill Needs Response Dear Brothers, In an attempt to encourage even more graduate news for the next issue of The Quill, we have again enclosed a graduate questionnaire for you to fill out and return. After a long absence of such graduate surveys, I was pleasantly surprised to receive as many replies as we did. I do hope the response this time will be as good. Remember, the other brothers want to know what you are doing as much as you enjoy hearing of their recent accomplishments. A brief summary of every questionnaire returned will be included in the upcoming issues of The Quill. I thank those who have responded, and implore those who have not to get those surveys back.

In a recent Daily Northwestern article, a number of team members were quoted as saying that the spirit of the team has already been improved by the enthusiastic leadership of Venturi. Pont will however stay on in his role as athletic director for the university. The decision to replace the head coach came as a result of the dismal season NU had in 1977. However, the team ended the season on a high note with a victory over Illinois. This raised their record to 1-10 which was good for tenth in the Big Ten. Venturi is a Northwestern graduate who has had many assistant coaching jobs since his school days here. As a matter of fact, his first job as a graduate was as a graduate assistant coach for NU. Most recently before returning to Northwestern he was defensive backfieid coach for Illinois. The team seems to be excited, and will be battling with such new weapons as a 4-3 defensive and an increased passing attack.

Weather Warms For Spring With warmer temperatures finally melting the lakefiii, Chicago's unpredictable temperatures have caught more than one NU student in the library improperly attired for the freezing walk back to north campus. After the coldest winter in Chicago's history, the city was treated to a mid-March thaw. This pause of pleasant weather proved only temporary though, as Chicago was immediately hit with an ice storm that forced the closing of Chare Airport and sub-freezing temperatures in early April. The prospect for better days is being promised, but continual rain and temperature dips have kept students from unpacking their beach umbrellas and towels. Documentary Slurs NU A public television documentary claiming Northwestern's insensitivity to student needs for depres sion counseling was aired in Chicago early this April. If nothing else, the program raised tempera tures on campus as tempers flared. Administrators claimed bias and simplicity of the show while students reacted with mixed emotions to the programs content. The show compared NU's psychiatric facilities to those at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The program featured scenes from the Foster- Walker Complex, Northwestern's all single room dorm, and claimed that single rooms led to depression and suicidal thoughts. The airing of the program titled "College Can Be Killing," was delayed from its original February airing because of reported complaints from the NU administration. But Spring Is Coming More pleasantly, the campus will be brought to its feet and united for the enjoyment of all during May Jamboree and Greek Week in mid-May.
