CLclKJL Xi Deuteron ^ ^JLCJU-U/t^ i^HI m\\\k DSLTA * CASii: WESTERN RSSERVS UNT/SR5ITY * FEBRUARY QK A The brothers at Xi Deuteron are planning a party for Saturday, March 30 at our fraternity house. This is a special occasion because we are having it for all our graduate brothers who can attend. Our pui*pose is to create closer ties between the undergraduate and graduate FIJIS. We have four new actives and plan to have quite a few pledges this semester so there will be many new brothers to meet. This party also offers a f'ood opportunity for old acquaintances"to be rekindled. There are also meeting minutes, scrap books, and other mementos of your days at the house. An attitude adjustment hour including cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will begin at 8:00 P.M. and later an entertainment group will preform for us in the Carriage House. All in all it proves to be a very enjoyable evening. Oh, by the way,,your wives and dates are welcome (please bring one or the other but not both). A future event will be the annual Norris Pig Dinner which will bo held on Hay 2, 197^ at the Cleveland Athletic Club. All the tnder-'raduates of the Xi Deuteron Chapter will be there and would like to see as many grads as possible, so keep your calendar open, "•'ore information will follow in later publications on the Norris Pi : Dinner mentioned above. PRESIDENTS REPORT Xi Deuteron is confident that 197^ will be a year of prosperity and serve as a strong foundation for all our chapters continued success. Our goals this year are to win both the Condon Cup for the most improved chapter and the Brightman Award for the best Graduate Relations. Both of these ©"bjectives can be reached if we get total participation from all our members. Xi Deuteron has added several new committies and programs that previously were nonexistant. Brother Ted Kazantzis is actively investigating several possibilities for a Social Service project which is an area that has been neglected the past few years. Vihile Chris Partis is busily preparing Post Initiation Training pro'-ram for the whole chapter. Hopefully, we can arrange a date for Ritualist Bud Mangels to help the entire chapter in learning what Phi Gamma Delta is really all about. Also Xi Deuteron is now having two formal meetings per month instead of one which we feel will increase our Brotherhood. Scott Maslow is chairing the Scholorship and File Committee which we believe can be instrumental in elevating our house accume to the high levels we enjoyed in the \r\n^ ^ -2- past. These new additions are just a few of the reasons why Xi Deuteron looks to the future with optomism. The Brothers are proud that our FIJI house is in the best physicaT condition of any Reserve Frateinity. This can be attributed to the "Purple Spirt". The Carrisige House still functions as the prirr^e location for our social events. March 30"''^ we have a Graduate Party planned and will be using the "land mark" on Bellflower Court that night, Xi Deuteron extends a open invitation to all Graduate Brothers to drop in anytime you are in the immediate area. VJe would be most happy to see you again. FIJIS OB CAMPUS The second semester of this school year finds the Xi Deuteron brothers continuing in the Fiji tradition of campus participation. Our three varsity football players were feted at the annual fall sports banquet. Sophomore Dennis Mullen earned his first letter, having sat out his freshnan year because of knee surgery.

Hike was recently named the recipient of the Ifirtland Prize for "excellence in undergraduate teaching", while Rick has been doing extensive volunteer work at Hanna Pavilion of University Hospitals.
