For the first time since we entered the charity brawls back in 1976, the FIJI'S swept all three of our weight classes: Light, medium and heavy. Rob Weaver ('82) our lightweight gave his op ponent 4 standing eight counts to win. Mike Langdon ('83) won by unanimous decision and Tom Nine ('82) knocked his man out in the night cap. The Boilerbouts is interfraternity com petition among 8 fraternities, each house squaring off against the same opponent every year. We fight the Lambda Chi's.

By the end of the spring semester, when pledgeship is zooming along, they will be transformed into outstanding Phi Gams. As always, we appreciate all the recommendations we receive from our DOC'S CORNER It's hard for me to recall the past in detail because there is so much going on in the present. I do remember, though, after a period of four months casing the joint in the fall semester of 1937, that I wrote a note to Don Morrision ('38), house president, asking him to the Blue Blazer and then out to dinner. It didn't work out that way. The second semester was young, and there was time to play. On the day he received my communique, Don showed up at University Hall looking for me. It didn't take long for a pattern to establish itself: we were off for the Blazer with George Aschauer and some other Seniors, and then we returned to 640 Russell for dinner. That started it, my brothers-42 years of the richest friend ship imaginable. My salary that first year was a plump $1700, out of which I saved enough to go to Europe that summer for six weeks with Graduate Brothers. If you know of an outstanding senior in High School who is thinking of coming to Purdue in 1981 Don (he was 22 and I was 28.) I wouldn't get very far out of West Lafayette these days on what was left from $1700! More later. Fraternally, Dick "Doc" please send us his name, the hall he will Crowder, DePauw '31. live in, and other pertinent information.
