This group has demonstrated a great concern for the Fraternity as evidenced by their hard work in improving the beauth of both the house and apartments. Many of these brothers took it upon themselves to build loft-style sleeping accommodations, which provides more living space in their apartments. Next time you are over at the house, stop by room 6-A and take a look. In May we initiated the Iota Deuterons at Dr. Anderson's. It was a great experience for everyone involved. The Iota class consists of some of the most friendly and down to earth people in the Fraternity. They have all worked hard to uphold our values and to exhibit the pride which all Kappa Deuteron Fijis should have. So far the 1980 Fall rush has been one of the most productive ever. The new young men who have been selected to pledge our Fraternity are all outstanding in their respective fields of endeavor, and we feel certain that they will help build upon At the Gass Day exercises of the University of California in 1893, the dispensator, who was Ralph Hathom, a loyal Fiji, took occasion to rap the Dekes and Betas who had monopolized the glee club for the past year. The stunt consisted of bring ing the platform a barrel labeled, "U. of C. Glee Club," tied with a cord symbolic of the strangle hold established by these two rival societies. Out of this barrel, to complete the figure, tumbled a squealing pig. Some say the pig escaped and was pursued at this point by underclassmen Fijis with murderous intent. At any rate that night the pig was incarcer ated in the lower regions of the Fiji stronghold on Dana Street, while Frank Norris staged an elaborate ceremony worthy of the burnt offering. The date set was May 18 at 6pm, at which time twenty Fiji ratemally. tribesmen foregathered at the banquet board and made the Delta realm resound with "All hail the pig!" Hathom, as master of ceremonies, then called Jim Braden on bended knee by the solemn ordeal of kissing the pig's snout. After the banquet, which was con our fine traditions. We hope to see all of you at Homecoming this year upon every member present to renew his bond of allegiance, fidelity, and alliance, and to seal his vow Perge tinued long into the night and was something very like the genuine Kneipe, at the break of dawn Frank Norris was inspired to propose that they per petuate the memory of the occasion by a perennial alumni-chapter pig dinner and rally.
