would not be where we are today. A new cabinet is ready to assume the leadership
of the house, and it is for them to further expand upon the foundation we have
laid over the past two years.
With this letter, I am finishing my last days as president of Sigma Chapter.
When I was first elected, I was a sophomore with very little understanding of the
undertaking I was to embark upon. However, two years later, I can step down
with the satisfaction that we accomplished our goals, and we placed the name of
Phi Gamma Delta at the top of the list once again at Wittenberg. Right now, I
am honestly exhausted from my experiences, but at the same time I'm rejuvenated
with the fact that I can help out in other ways now that my official duties are done.
The lessons I have learned both as a Phi Gam and a human being will be things
that I will always cherish. They are things that really define who I am, and all
other accomplishments aside, they will be the lessons most beneficial in my life.
I just want to thank my brothers for having the confidence in my abilities to elect
me as president for two terms. It was a tremendous honor, and one that will be
high in my life's memories.
We are on the verge of a great time for Phi Gamma Delta, and the brothers
realize it. For the first time in a long time, the future is very bright. Rush is going
well, and we have the opportunity to shape the structure of the house in the years
to come. Not only with the membership of the house, but the conditions of the
house. Of primary concern is how we deal with the substance free issue. We
have been working on a plan for some time now, and by December 1,1997 we
will move towards implementing it. The goal is to have a road map to lead the
future classes in their travels as Phi Gams. Hopefully, we will be successful, and
if what we did over the last two years is an indication,then I know we will succeed.
Well, I have little left to say except good luck and congratulations to the new
cabinet. It is a difficult journey, but one that is very rewarding. No matter how
tough it gets, don't ever give up. We are all counting on you, and you will do an
excellent job. The torch has been passed, and it is time for the new leaders to
continue the long tradition of excellence at Sigma. Once again thank you for all
of your support, and I am always very proud to be a Sig-Fiji.

it has been a wonderful experience. I want to thank all of
the undergraduate and graduate brothers who assisted me during the past two years
with the production of our newsletter. The editor's desk at The Sig Fiji will be well
filled by Brad and Matt.

HOPPER'S UPDATE
By George Hopper '32
Articles in recent issues of Phi Gamma Delta Magazine have reported the stalwart
fightofBrother Bob Horn '64 againstLou Gehrig's disease,a cripplingailment which
deprives the patient of almost all movement. Our thoughts and prayers continue to
turn to Brother Horn.
Brothers should be aware of two other Sig Fijis whose health is in jeopardy and
who would be grateful for our prayers.
Brother Robert Franklin (Frank)Schirmer'36 is suffering from kidney failure and
has been on dialysis for more than five years. This treatment requires thrice-weekly
visits to the hospital for three hours of treatment, a painless but confining process.
Frank attended Wittenberg for two years in the early thirties and then transferred to
Ohio State, where he earned his engineering degree. He served 26 years in the Air
Force before retiring as a Colonel and now lives in Tucson, Arizona with his wife
Martha. His four daughters lend additional support.

Sigma Sanctions Relaxed
After enduring over two years of University sanctions because ofrisk management
violations and a tragic accident Sigma chapter's sanctions were relaxed. Rising to
the occasion, the brothers of20 West Fernclifffulfdled all of the requirements and
challenges which were outlined by the Wittenberg University's sanctions. Our
accomplishments were presented to Debbie Heida, Dean of Students, and Baird
Tipson,President, in theform ofa petition which was diligently compiled and written
by Todd Kilgore '98. A portion of the petition which highlights some of Sigma's
accomplishments:

Sigma chapter of Phi Gamma Delta's response to Wittenberg University's letter 7
November 1995
During the past eighteen months, Sigma chapter has taken many steps to President
Tipson's request that our chapter serve as the model for other Greek letter organiza
tions on Wittenberg's Campus. Our chapter has not only met all of the sanctions
placed on us, but also strove to educate ourselves and other organizations on campus.
Our chapter has complied with all sanctions placed on us by Wittenberg University,
the International Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, and our local Board of Chapter
Advisors. First, after a long a tedious search, our chapter found a live-in advisor. Jim
Woodcock,former assistant for Men's Lacrosse and Women's soccer, worked as our
house director for the spring semester of 1996. He was succeeded by Mark Chubb,
currently working part time on Wittenberg's Football coaching staff. Secondly, the
chapter house became substance free. To date, there have been absolutely no
violations. Also, the chapter could not hold or sponsor any social functions where
alcohol was present. There have been absolutely no violations by either the under
graduates or graduates. The chapter was also place under a graduate trusteeship. Our
chapter is still currently working with the graduate trusteeship to maintain the goals
and standards of the fraternity. Under the sanctions, the 112th cabinet of Sigma
chapter resigned and new cabinet officers were elected. These are the sanctions that
President Tipson outlined in his letter to our fraternity.
In addition to the above sanctions. President Tipson also outlined three g,oa\s tbat
the chapter should set to become a positive organization on campus. To comply with
substance free housing, the chapter developed ways to socialize with out the presence
of alcohol. In the spring semester of 1996, the chapter held two functions. On
February 21, 1996, the chapter held a formal in Cincinnati. On April 18, 1996, the
chapter held its 112th annual Norris Pig dinner. The following fall semester our
chapter again held two social functions. In October, 1996, our chapter held both a
faculty appreciation dinner, in which Dr. Veler, Dr. Waggoner, and Professor Hoff
attended, and a Graduate Luncheon where many our graduates came back for the
University's celebration of homecoming. This spring our chapter has held two social
functions. We held a formal dance in Indianapolis and the 113th Norris Pig Dinner.
These social functions gave many of the brothers, both undergraduates and graduates,
alternatives to socializing with out the presence of alcohol.
Next, President Tipson challenged our fraternity to develop a relationship with a
community agency. In lieu of the circumstances, the chapter focused on developing
a relationship with the Clark County Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)
agency. In both the fall of 1995 and the fall of 1996, our chapter co-sponsored the
candle light vigil held in Wittenberg's Weaver Chapel. We held our annual Fiji three
on three basketball tourney in the fall of 1996 while donating the two hundred dollars
of proceeds to MADD of Clark County. On March 20, 1996 our chapter hosted a
dinner with representatives of MADD to donate $2000. Our chapter also continued
other philanthropic events. With the support of our graduates, our fraternity annually
co-sponsors a Wittenberg Series event. During the 1995-1996 school year, our
chapter co-sponsored the play "Shenandoah." This year our chapter co-sponsored
the play "As You Like It" at the Kuss Auditorium. Our chapter also hosted a Brownie
troop each week to hold their meetings for over a year. In addition, in February of
1996, our chapter sponsored speaker, Jim Tuman, on alcohol awareness and self
improvement held in Weaver Chapel. In the fall of 1996, the chapter hosted Ohio
State Highway Patrolman Sergeant Ken Garloch to speak on the facts of drunk driving
with the sisters of Chi Omega. Our chapter and the sisters of Chi Omega took a class
of students from Emerson Elementary school to the Columbus Zoo. In the Spring of
1997,our chapter began to take part in Ohio's Adopt-A-Highway Program. Our mile
is just west of Springfield on State Route 4. On January 7, 1997, our chapter served
dinner at the Masonic home for the annual "Boars Head Feast." As part of our pledge
program, our chapter has the pledges sponsor a philanthropic event. In the spring of
1996, our pledge class spent a Sunday at a Nursing Home. This years pledge class
spent a Sunday Afternoon painting and cleaning at the Springfield Fire Department.
Our chapter continues to place strong importance for all philanthropic events.
Third, President Tipson challenged our fraternity to take leadership role in devel
oping and implementing practices that exemplify respect for all persons regardless
of gender. As noted earlier at the Rap Session, our chapter no longer prints,
distributes, or comments on a newsletter that degrades any gender. Our chapter had
members who attended and became members of the recently started Gender Aware
ness Club. Our chapter devoted 80 man hours answering phones at the Dietrich House
for the Women's Center crisis line in April and May of 1995. Also in May of 1995,
our chapter sponsored an all-campus speaker on sexual harassment. Attorney David
Weaver,from Springfield,spoke on the legalities ofsexual harassment. In September
of 1996, our chapter sponsored an all-campus presentation in Shouvlin Center. Dr.
Kathy Waggoner with the help of our chapter developed the program,"He said, She

attended Wittenberg's Student Senate meeting on sexual harassment. Through these
programs,our chapter has developed and maintains exemplify standards with regards
to all genders.
Our efforts would not have been possible without the enormous support we
received. A special thank you to the seniors of1996 and 1997for instilling faith and
determination in a young chapter. These men, with nothing to personally gain,
knowing they would never personally live without sanctions, showed leadership
through persistence and maturity. We recognize and appreciate your self-sacrifice.
To our Board of Trustees and all ofour Graduate Brothers, we could not have won
this battle without your assistance and undenying support. We would especially like
to thank our Graduate Brothersfor "keeping their word;" allowing Sigma to petition
the sanctions whilefacing the controversial implementation ofsubstance-free 2000.
We recognize the difficulty ofyour position, and respect your decision. Your honesty
extended the open trust shared between the Undergraduate and Graduate Brothers.
Lastly,facing these sanctions was very demanding, but the men ofSigma Chapter
ofPhi Gamma Delta have matured and become more complete people as a result.

Not For College Days Alone
From Brother Hopper's Vault
The letter below, consisting of eight handwritten pages, was sent by David "Doc"
Prescott 77 on May 17, 1987 to Kelly Powers, Director of Programs at IHQ. It tells
how the brotherly acts of a single brother, done without thought of reward for either
himself or the Chapter, led to a "windfall" bequest of more than $300,000.
What has meant to Phi Gamma Delta?
1. As noted in the letter, it provided a contribution of $25,000 toward the building
of the new IHQ in Lexington, Kentucky. This contribution is memorialized by a
Study Room in the building bearing a plaque reading:
THIS STUDY WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY A GIFT FROM SIGMA CHAPTER,
WITTENBERG UNIVERSITY,SPRINGFIELD,OHIO,FUNDED BY THE CON
TRIBUTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BROTHERS AND BY A BEQUEST FROM C.
J. RICHARDSON(WITTENBERG *17)
2. It has enabled the Chapter to help fund performances presented as part of the
Wittenberg Series- which yields great public relations value.
3. It has provided funds for scholarship awards to Sigma brothers amounting to
$2500-$5000 annually.
4. It has helped significantly with the maintenance of the Chapter House and the
surrounding grounds. Just over the summer of 1997, pver $20,000 was spent on
asbestos removal and renovations including painting, cleaning, and new drapes for
the front lounge and back lounge.
It is worth noting that only interest has been used in these expenditures and that the
principal remains untouched. It now totals over $470,000.
"Doc" Prescott, a practicing physician in Columbus, and the father of three boys,
and himself a Fiji son,continues to serve Sigma as Chair of the Richardson Commit
tee, a unit of the Sig Fiji Alumni Association. Other members of the committee are

attended Wittenberg for several years, but had left school before graduating because
of military service in World War I. Upon his return from Europe, he and his family
moved to Arizona, where he lived and worked the rest of his life. He had been once
married, but his wife had died of a sudden illness while they were both still quite
young before they had children. He had lived alone, from that point on, and
apparently was quite a traveler, entrepreneur and speculator in land, oil, and other
commodities in the Southwest, as well as Central and South America. In any event,
the thought of this man expressing interest in making such a trip at his age and in
generally declining health to attend an event which I believe was not held at Sigma
during the time he was an undergraduate, was very moving to me. As it turned out,
illness and hospitalization prevented his trip, but he following year, 1977, he again
brought forward the idea of his coming for Sigma's Pig Dinner. By this time his
writing had deteriorated greatly, because of his declining vision and general health.
However, despite some trepidation on my part regarding his safety, he persevered,
we worked out his travel itinerary and he came! One of the undergraduate brothers
and I drove to the Dayton International Airport to meet his plane. I recall vividly the
joy, the lump in my throat, and the tears that came to me unashamedly then as we saw
this small, slightly stooped figure in straw hat and sportcoat slowly make his way
down the stairs from the plane and into the terminal.
I had been concerned what the weekend would be like and what the chapter's
reaction to Jack would be, but my worst fears were quickly dispatched. That Friday
night, I can remember him still sitting in the front lounge of the Chapter House,the
center of attention, as he kept a half-dozen or more other brothers, undergraduate and
graduate alike, some with girlfriends or wives, entertained for several hours with
stories of his life, adventures and the like. He was a good story teller, with a sharp
wit and a faithful memory. On Saturday, we toured the campus and the city, and
although the Phi Gamma Delta house of his era had long since been razed,he poinXed
out with pride a home he had Jived in as a boy which was stiJJ standing. He and]also
visited a nursing home in Springfield, where /knew from prior chapter visits that

Here with the letter.
May 17, 1987
Dear Kelly,
I am writing regarding my relationship with our deceased Sigma brother, Carl J.
"Jack" Richardson(Sigma 1917)and the events leading up to the "windfall" bequest
which he left the chapter in his will, $25,000 of which was pledged toward the new
Fraternity Headquarters building. This donation was thereafter recognized with the
"Sigma Chapter Study Room."
Before I begin,I would ask you to see if that proper recognition is given to Brother
Richardson (if not already done)in the form of a door or wall plaque for the room.
Now...on with the story. As you will see,"Skip" Buckley's version with which
he undoubtedly regaled you is slightly inaccurate. I did not first write to Jack
Richardson as a pledge project. That program was not yet in place at Sigma Chapter
when I was a pledge. My first communication with Jack Richardson came during
Spring quarter of my sophomore year at Wittenberg, after I had been elected
Corresponding Secretary for the chapter. He happened to send an audio-cassette tape
featuring a speech by a retired military officer, as well as some other related papers
and articles which he felt were of importance to the chapter. In my role as Corre
sponding Secretary,I wrote back to him,thanked him for the materials and his interest
in the chapter and its' members. This chance exchange of letters was the start of a
fairly regular line of communication (letters and phone calls) between us over the
next several years, even beyond my graduation from Wittenberg in 1977. He sent us
other memorabilia occasionally and even sent the chapter a $500 check the following
year, while I was Chapter Treasurer,which we used to buy new carpeting for a portion
of the house.
Early in 1976, he expressed a desire for me to attend our Norris Pig Dinner that
April. By this time I had learned that he was a Springfield, Ohio native and had
resided. They had a pleasant visit there and shared recollections of the others they
had known and things that had happened 60 years before, making their good-byes in
the way of those who know their paths will not cross again in this life.
The Pig Dinner that night saw Jack kiss the snout of the pig in honor of his being
the brother of longest standing in attendance, and then being called upon to make
some impromptu remarks which dealt with the fine time he had,, and his appreciation
to all the brothers for their efforts and his hope to return again another year.
He returned to Arizona the next afternoon, and we continued to correspond
periodically by letter (his writing was almost impossible to decipher) or phone until
several years later, when no replies came to my letters. The chapter was contacted
and confirmed that Jack had died.
Prior to his coming to Pig Dinner, he had been talking to me about making a bequest
to the chapter in his will. I can remember his telling me about wanting to leave the
chapter a small house and lot that he owned in Phoenix, and how my fellow brothers
and I laughed about the prospect of having a "Fiji House West"for Spring break and
the like. He had mentioned to me he thought the gift he had in mind might bring the
chapter about $25,000 when it was sold and we were all excited at the prospect of
such a happening at some time in the future. However, when all was said and done,
we learned that the Sig Fiji Alumni Association had received title to a piece of
unimproved land in the Phoenix area. The decision was to sell the land and invest
the proceeds ($315,000 minus expenses) to provide additional income for chapter
house operations, maintenance and repairs without risking the principal. This has
been done for slightly over three(Ed. Note: now thirteen) years.
Well, Kelly, my original intent was to "put together a couple of paragraphs" about
my relationship with Carl J."Jack" Richardson(Sigma 1917)and how the funds came
about that led to "The Sigma Chapter Study Room" at our new International
Headquarters building. I guess I couldn't fit the story in that short of space! I've
enjoyed writing it down and I hope it is helpful to you.
Always proud to be a member ofPhi Gamma Delta!

NEW CABINET
By Brad Russell
Very recently the Sigma Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta elected a new cabinet for
the year of 1997-1998. The new cabinet replaced members George George (Presi
dent), Andrew Towne (Historian), Todd Kilgore (Corr. Secretary), Jason Novak
(Treasurer), and Jeff Conlin (Rec. Secretary). The members of FIJI spent several
long hours deciding the new cabinet, and in the end one was formed. The new
members are as follows: Sean Smith (President), Matt Marchak (Treasurer), Tom
Waldron (Historian), Brad Ansberg (Corresponding Secretary) and Neil Johnston
(Recording Secretary). The following is a brief background on each of the new
members:
Sean Smith ('99) is an East Asian Studies major from Oberlin, OH. He enjoys
playing roller hockey with other brothers in the house and spending time in his room
studying. Sean is very excited about his new position as president of the house. He
has many ideas about preserving tradition while maintaining house standards.
Matt Marchak ('99) while currently abroad in Austria, was not present during the
voting of his new position. However, we are all positive he will enjoy his new
position as treasurer. Brother Marchak hails from North Canton, OH.
Tom Waldron ('99) is a Management major. Tom also likes playing roller hockey
with the brothers and enjoys watching his Detroit Red Wings dominate the ice. Tom
is very excited about starting his new position in the house.
Neil Johnston ('99) is an English major from Columbus, OH. He spends most of
his time preparing for his soccer season and studying for class. Neil is looking
Haunted House
By Brad Russell
This year the brothers of Sigma agreed upon organizing a Haunted House. It was
a huge success. With the diligent help of the Delta Gamma's, 20 W. Ferncliff was
transformed into a creepy mansion in a matter of days. The house was open for
haunting beginning Thursday October 23 from 7-9 p.m. and Friday October 24 from
9p.m.-1a.m. The cost of admis:;ion was $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children 12
and under. All profits went to Habitat for Humanity,MADD and Aid to the Blind.
Word of the Haunted House was broadcasted on radio stations,in local newspapers,
and pamphlets were also distributed on campus. People lined up outside the door of
the basement They then entered the pool room, walked around the laundry room
into the pit, up stairs to the second floor, down the side steps into the library, through
the hallway into the front lounge, then into the trophy case room/front hallway, and
out the door quickly because of the psychotic, chainsaw-wielding redneck who was
chasing them.
There were several themes used to frighten people as they walked through our
house. We had people locked in cages screaming,several monsters eating raw flesh,
a surgery scene that was particularly morbid, a "heavens gate" room, and several
creatures playing cards and the piano. The event yielded over $800; our first
profitable philanthropy in years!
L to R: Brad Ansberg, Neil Jobaston, Sean Smith, and Tom Waldron.

forward to his new position and promises to take minutes.
Brad Ansberg ('98) is an English major from Sylvania, OH. Brad is our house
manager and does very well with this position. He is glad he has the opportunity to
serve on cabinet and feels he will handle the position of corresponding secretary very
well.
