It is always a pleasure to see such a strong supportive turnout. I would also like to offer my congradulations to the new Chi Associations Cabinet that was elected to office at the most recent Chi Association Meeting.

Dean of Students, Robert MISSING PERSON DEPARTMENT Dear Brothers, In the spirit of a hard-working and responsible Corresponding Secretary, I have been "attempting" to revamp our current Chi address list. After many hours of searching, organizing and crossreferencing I discovered one major stumbling block with said address list. That's right! — Wrong Addresses. Well, with a little help from the Alumni Office and some good feedback from our recent insert in the Chi Tama, we've narrowed the problem to a few dozen names; a mere 5%. The list below is a list of brothers whose addresses are outdated or possibly unknown.These people, God forbid, are probably not receiving their tri-annual issue of the nationally known literary marvel you are reading right now! Could any Phi Gamm of sane mind deny this exclusive privelege to one of our brothers? If the answer is no, then take a not in jeopardy.

Gradually, the crescendo within the Phi Gamm house increased, as the taps began to flow. Pig Dinner weekend was again upon us. Those that were there on this first night were not disappointed by the festivities. As the pong table began to warm up, the crowd was sparked by the appearance of Uncle Sam's own, 2nd Lieutenant Mark K. Frampton (Esquire)(79). Farkle, sporting a "Barbogallo" type haircut, looked quite fit and trim considering the "cake" job he's involved in. After this, the memorable pair of "Chip" Noe ('69) and John "Binz" Robbins (71) made their entrance at the front door. Chip and Binz, wishing to keep in their tradition of grand entrances, opted to pull their fraternity, both as past president and corresponding secretary, and will be sorely missed next year. Finally, the festivites ended with the Sunday morning Bloody Mary Brunch, which was adeptly handled by the newly initiated brothers. All in all, this weekend was a highly enjoyable time for both graduates and undergraduates alike. For many,this was an opportunity to renew old friendships and retell old stories. Yet, for many others, it was a chance to meet the brothers who were the topic of these old stories. All this breeds continuity, and this is an important aspect of our fraternity. Thus we the undergraduate brothers, would like to thank all those who attended Pig Dinner for both their company and their Phi Gamma Delta spirit, and we hope to see you and many others here next year. car up on the front porch of the house.The only one who might have missed this episode, however, was the venerable Jeff Gage("77J. Brother, Gage,always community-relations conscious, decided to FAREWELL COOKIE improve our image by renewing his ties with campus security. Jeff, wishing to prove his sincerity to the cause, even volunteered to crawl under a security car to "fix" it for them. If that's not FIJI hospitality, we don't know what is! Saturday morning marked the beginning of Chi Chapters first annual golf tournament, which this year was won by Steve Geer ('70). After this, the annual graduate/undergraduate Softball game took place, with the graduate brothers on the winning end. As the full contingent of graduate brothers finally arrived, the traditional part of the weekend began. Pre-empted by the formal cocktail party, our 87th annual Pig Dinner commenced in jovial spirits, and hearty appetites. Newly elected Chi Association President, Al Britton ('74) was scheduled to be our symposiarch, but unfortunately was called elsewhere. However, doing a splendid job filling in for him was the infamous "stand-up" comedian, Donald "Z-man" Kaufman ('75). Keeping the dinner f w- ' ' "J in a controlled, but humorous atmosphere,"Z-man" helped insure that we all had a good time. The dinner ended with the address of ourguestspeaker, Archon William H. Smith (Purdue, '37). We at Chi were very honored by the appearance of two other esteemed guests: Section Chief Bob Marshall (Rhode Island, '77), and Union College Dean of Students, Robert H. Kellett fCo/umb/a, '62). Adding these brothers to our highly regarded graduate ranks made this Pig Dinner one of our most successful ones in recent years. At this point we at Chi would like to extend our warmest congradulations to ourtwo award winners: Seth J. Mendelowitz ('82), and Richard J. Gagliano ('80). Seth, the winner of the Edward Seitz Award for outstanding member of sophmore class, is one of our most visible brothers on campus and is currently serving as Rush Chairman. Rick was the winner of our most prestigious prize, the J. Mason Hotchkiss Award for dedicated service as a senior. Guests: Archon Bill Smith, Dean Kellet, and brothers, wish Cookie a fond good-bye. This year's Pig Dinner was the last meal that Cookie prepared for the Brothers of FIJI. Her retirement signified the end of a 34 year old relationship between Cookie and the house, which is a source of many memories for a lot of Brothers. We will all miss Cookie as she was an institution at Chi Chapter which has outlasted many others. Her reminiscing, which often proved to be embarassing to many of you, her teasing and her personality are all things that we will not be able to replace. Cookie's retirement plans are to move to her Lake George home, and to continue running her store. If anybody happens to be in the area a visit from a FIJI is something she will really appreciate. We all wish Cookie the best of luck in the future and will remember her fondly. \r\nIn the bar area, the Brothers are proud to HOUSE and GROUNDS display a 19 inch television which was presented to the Chapter by the Pledge class of 1983 at the Norris Pig Dinner in early May.

With the cooperation and assistance of graduate as well as Brother "Dead Weight" Hicks ('80), the pin adds even more of a "purple" dimension to the House. Brothers Ottaviano ('80) and Saginario ('80) are especially fascinated with this pin since both have since "Phi Gamma Delta Is not for college days "lost" their pins recently. Moving further on into the living room,one may notice the recently-renovated ping-pong table, known to be the source of consumption of minimal amounts of alcoholic beverages.

Under the responsible, reliable, and prompt efforts of As part of our pledge program here at Chi, the "the punklnheads" are required to complete one campus and one community project of their choosing, this winter's pledge class is to be commended for their hard work and accomplishment in these two areas.

We wish her much luck in the future. Association-run drive. These items were then loaded into the truck and sold to the recycling plant. All proceeds of this drive went to the Association,to benfit their rehabilitation center at the Sunnyview Hospital. We welcome the aggressive and conscientious efforts of these budding Phi Gams and hope they continue to foster the ideals for which Phi Gamma Delta stands. \r\nSPRING SOCIAL CALENDER For its first party of the term, Chi chapter decided to host a Thursday evening "No— Underwear Party". This theme was chosen with the hope of sparking added interest in a basic beer and punch party. Although most of the guests didn't arrive until the library closed, the party was strong from 12 P.M. to 4 A.M. When most of the guests had left, brother Paul "Herby" Freedman initiated a brother vs. pledge beer fight which left many of us drenched in the "King". As our first party of a very socially busy term we felt very successful. Other highlights of the term were a Friday night band party, a Spring Rooms Party, a Tuesday evening Gin & Tonic porch party, a Spring Sports Party, and the expectations of brother Dave "Zip" Lachtrupp's annual clambake. The Spring Rooms Party again proved to be one of our best parties. Sea Breezes, Key West Coolers Vodka Collins, Shirley Temples, Chamagne Punch, Phucker's Punch, and several other drinks were served to the delight of our guests. Many rooms haa themes and were dressed appropriately. As the night wore on. Room 324, with Phucker's Punch, became the hot spot. Brothers Steve — O "Hollywood" Goll, Damien "Goog""Disco" Quinn, Jim "Distorted Facial Expressions" Fisher,and Dave "Fists" Handier began dancing with their guests. This disco fun lasted far longer than the rest of the All in all this has been one of the fullest and most fantastic social terms ever experienced by our house. Under the responsible control of Dave Krueger our lives have been filled with many a good time during Spring Term 1980. PARENT'S WEEKEND This year Parent's Weekend was held on April 25—27. As usual the high points of the weekend were spent at the FIJI house. As the parents began to arrive on Friday night, the cherished pong table was graced with some fine father-son teams. Saturday brought with it a glorious spring day that added a lot to the overall atmosphere. Daytime activities included such various things as watching Phi Gamm boys participating in both the Varsity and J.V. lacrosse victories to quiet strolls through Jackson s Gardens. As evening approached,a host of activities unfolded. As all will agree the cocktail party was a tremendous success. The parents and brothers were all able to exchange tales and enjoy the fine open bar. The activity then shifted to another fine buffet meal prepared by our own Josephine "Cookie" Mahoney. To top off parent's weekend festivities there was an evening of music and dance at the local Ramada Inn. the Jimmy party. They are to be commended for their ingenuity Dorsey Band played to a ballroom full of parents and students. For one night it seemed as if everyone and social flair. involved were ageless and carefree. The G in & Tonic punch party was one of the fine creations of Social Chairman, Dave Krueger. Our front porch was transformed into a living room to THE CHAIN GROWS TWELVE LONGER add to the wonderful atmosphere of the party. It was a low key, invitation only party, which brought many of our close friends together. It was "Play Ball!" at the Phi Gamm house the evening of May 1, with the coming of the second annual Fiji Spring Sports Party. Brothers dressed for the event, appearing in a This term twelve new brothers were added to the ranks of Phi Gamma Delta at Union. Ten were initiated on the weekend of House Unity, April 20th, and two others were brothered on May 14th. The house is tremendously proud of these fine young dazzling menagerie of sporting attire.

Taking over for Bill Kuchta as President will be Al Britton,'74, who was the previous Vice President of the Chi Association cabinet. John C. Bobbins,'71, will be the new Vice President; Drew R.

With a 4—0 record, the Fiji Six has been improving with every game. Brother Steven Koelbel is a superb player, and promises to be the leader of this team in the upcoming years, taking place of Mitch Blair '79 and Mark Scott '79 as best he can. Each team spent almosttwo hou rs choosing the twenty or so items which they would put into the hunt. The senior—sophomore team had a Kamikaze party to aid in their thinking process.

Goog wants to work in the field of Biology, but may go back to school if he doesn't find work. The house will miss this class as these guys have added as much or more spirit and enthusiasm to the house than any other class.

As they have already shown, they are going to do a very fine job of continuing the traditions of Chi. The weekend was wound up with a less than quiet dinner at Mother Ferro's. This weekend was another example of the Fiji spirit which retired the Brown cup this past year. We can all look forward to many successful years in the future. DUES PAYMENT 1979-80 The following is a list of those who have paid their Chi Association dues since the due notice was mailed in January. On behalf of both Chi Association and the undergraduates who are the recipients of much of our support, I'd like to say a sincere thank you. In terms of the success of our efforts to reduce dues payments,the jury is still out. To date we have had forty payments,four more than in all of last year. However, our total income is $250 less than last year's, so we still hope to hear from many of you. Hope to see you at homecoming!
