S.+ — The BeaverTiji A Publication of Kappa Omicron of Phi Gamma Delta Kappa Omicron Oregon State University Spring 1980 The senior class and their pretty dates swarm the bridge and pond during this year's Fiji Islander. Islander '80 Rocks KO Natives Picture this scenario: Two twenty-foot firs converted into a suspension bridge; three weeks accumulation of dirt runs around Benton County; four dump-truck loads of white, Neskowin sand; half the basketball court submerged beneath a moss-rimmed pond; drums pounding all day Monday, hinting of native raids that night; jungle tunnels on Tuesday; waterfalls on Wednesday; dining-room cave on Thursday; dangerous flower runs and a sacrifice to the great god, Occus, on Friday; and finally on Saturday, The Islander! Every two years this extravagant and popular event gets bigger and better, and the 1980 version of this ancient Fiji tradition was no exception. After weeks of hard work, unity, sweat, cooperation, and some clandestine operations, the Island Paradise of Kappa Omicron was unveiled to the OSU campus and the dates of the brothers. There just isn't any way to verbally do justice to the tropical heaven that was created in and around the house. The week of May 19-25 was a hectic and exciting one here in Corvallis. Monday night saw the upperclassmen dress up in the sacred garb of our South Sea kin (skirts, spears, and bones) and embark on a plundering raid of all the sororities and girls' apartments on campus. Invitations, written in the jovial native tongue on holy, island parchment and tucked inside a bamboo envelope, were delivered ceremoniously (with a savage Fiji kiss) to the wild rantings and ravings of the clan. Needless to say, a wild Fiji celebration took place afterwards. The ensuing days saw more earnest labor performed by the brothers in preparation for the long-awaited weekend luau. Friday night was "finishing touches" night, and despite minor altercations with Corvallis' all-of-a-sudden keen-eyed "flower children"(Denny can explain it to you), we managed to adorn our island with lush, colorful vegetation. We also performed the primitive human sacrifice rites to appease the rain gods and our own finicky deity, Occus. George Stephen, Kappa Omicron's resident meteorologist, cheerfully volunteered to have his heart skillfully cut out by the dagger of the wicked witch doctor, Denny Thompson. The ploy worked perfectly, as we had warm and dry weather for the dance, even though it was cloudy thanks to erupting Mount St. Helens. Thanks, George!(Donations may be sent in his memory to the Islander Fund '82.) \r\nSaturday brought rental trucks and lovely island maidens to Fijiland, and we all piled in and travelled to our cook's property (Thanks, Mrs. "K"!) for a bluegrass pre-function, complete with beer, hot dogs, end "Cojolia," a hot-pickin' country combo. After on hour's rest, everyone came back to the house clad in their brilliantly-colored Islander outfits to wander through the jungle tunnels and emerge in paradise. "Legend," a searing, hard-rock group, got all the natives jumpin' and screamin' until our envious, unimaginative neighbors complained that we were having too much fun (in other words, too noisy — on a Memorial Day weekend Saturday night?). We'll get sweet native revenge.... Ever undaunted, the feisty tribe members loaded up provisions and made off for the coast to further enjoy two more days of festivities before returning to the reality of (yuk) finals week. All agreed that this was by far the best party in the Western Hemisphere, and vowed to make it even more fabulous two years hence. Thanks go to Robert Kline,'49-387,for supply ing materials, and to Mrs. "T" and Mr. and Mrs. Stephan for assisting with the food.

Held at the picturesque Jantzen Beach Thunderbird Motel (overlooking the beautiful Columbia River), the event featured Archon Treasurer Bob Watt and a whole host of chapter and graduate award presentations. Over 100 Fijis, those loyal live-outs who cared enough and took time out to give young and old, attended the event. Carl Rickson, '21-34, an advice and elbow grease to the underclass carpenters and engineers constructing the Islander. What a time! Don't miss the next one! Boogaenchuga! — Boga Woga, Islander Chief original member of the old Beaver Club, was our guest of honor. rm^ Some new twists in tradition were introduced this year, though it is unlikely they will ever be repeated. Due to a mix-up in ordering, we were unable to secure a real pig in time for the feast. Using humanitarian reasons for an excuse, we introduced KO's first-ever ice-sculptured pig, complete with a carved, curly, carrot tail for easy consumption. There were a few raised eyebrows, but everyone generally got a kick out of the frozen porker. Then, instead of the usual song-singing, we devised on impromptu ceremony to inaugurate the First Annual Ice Pig mm Columbia River Channel Swim. Next year we'll go bock to the real thing, I'm sure. Another high point of the afternoon was Wally Sawyer's, '39-240, reminiscing, which included the following joke: "How many Betas does it take to eat a possum? Two. One to eat the possum and another to watch for cars." Thanks, Wally. Hope to WELCOME §MfMAa,DELTA Top: Twelve Fiji undergrads"mug"on the scaffolding of the Thunderbird's Pig Dinner salutation.

Chuck Stanzel, died in an initiation "ceremony" of Klan Alpine, a local fraternity at Alfred University in New York. Chuck and two other pledges were ordered into the trunk of a car and instructed that they could not come out until they had each consumed a six-pack of beer, a fifth of wine, and a pint of Jack Daniels whiskey. When the trunk was opened hours later, the men were sick and unconscious. Chuck died later that night. With the publicity of Chuck's useless death came many letters from parents and students which described demeaning and dangerous initiations which had resulted in injury and death. Mrs. Stevens collected evidence and has documented 60 deaths attributable to fraternity hazing, 29 since 1970. She formed C.H.U.C.K., an organization dedicated to spreading hazing awareness, and she has lobbied for a "hazing bill" in New York which would severely punish hazing offenders. Mrs. Stevens also spends a great deal of time speaking with fraternity officials, fraternity undergraduates, and many others in an attempt to enlighten them to the possible tragedies New affiliate Dwayne Stevens (Arizona) says,"What, me worry?" upon surveying damage to his jeep after chasing down wild game during "Great Snowy White Owl Hunt." involved with initiations and peer pressure. Eileen is not against fraternities at all; she is against the abusive treatment that sometimes occurs therein. Another spring term activity included a mystery-date barbecue with a function held in the member sleeping porch, Everyone present at the talk was struck with the emotion and a simulated drive-in movie on our basketball court with the and sincerity of Mrs. Stevens' project, and her presence helped bring home the impact of the sorrow that we had only remotely felt before.

Anne Murray entertained our moms at Gill and thinks about what I've said, talks about it with a friend...if Coliseum Friday night, and at the house, the Alpha Xi Deltas one life con be saved, I honestly feel that Chuck will not have died in vain." Thank you, Eileen. — Alan Thayer functioned with us. Saturday night was the annual IFC Sing, with the Fijis and the ADPis singing in the mixed competition. That night both houses hosted our moms to a night of socializing, aided by a wet bar and a pledge class skit. Parties, Parties, and More Parties! Socially, the KO Fijis are still moving up! Included in last winter term's activities was Dads' Weekend, when we and our dads watched the OSU Beavers beat the Wildcats of Arizona en route to the Pac-10 championship. Afterwards we hosted the Alpha Xi Deltas and their dads for a wild function. Saturday night the Gamma Phis came over for another night of dancing, drinking, and listening to the dads BS about old times. The following weekend was our best function of the term, as we entertained the Kappas with a "games" theme. Several As the term wound down, plans called for a car rally with the AZDs to Green Peter Dam Park for a barbecue and then we returned to the house for a dance with live entertainment provided by brothers Rich Hulden and Mike Jamieson's band. Greek Week at OSU was May 12-18, and as always, KO Fijis upheld traditions by running the Bed Race and having a barbecue before with our Theta sisters. The highlight of the week was the Greek Wheel, where we entertained the top six sororities. Oh,the sights! Socially, spring term ended May 23-25, which was the 1980 Fiji Islander weekend. rooms in the house had various games, such as pass-out, beer basketball, twister, and even an electronic game room. The night started out bubbly with a champagne toast. The 1980-81 calendar is already taking shape, as plans call for a double function with Beta Theta Pi fraternity and the Tri Delts from both OSU and U of O. Awake-up breakfast with Another fun event was with the Alpha Chis before the OSU/Washington game, which included a strawberry daiquiri bar. We then escorted the ladies to Fiji corner at the game and watched the Beavers defeat the Huskies. The term ended with fresh fruit and a cartoon film is on tap forthat one, plus our final attempt at the Guinness Book of World Record's largest daiquiri. our winter house dance held in Bend."The Great Snowy White Hopefully, the Washington Fijis and Thetas and the OSU Thetas will join in and help us devour it during Homecoming Weekend next fall.

Brothers Brian Smith and Scott Ashdown were distinct existed during thr 1979-80 year. As well as the house treasurer's efforts, the KO board's treasurer. Brother Michael Goger, has been a guiding aid for the securement of the books. \r\nAlong with these outstanding individual efforts, the house came as close to reaching capacity during the fall and winter terms as it has in some time. Fifty-nine Fijis filled the walls at good ol' 348 NW 25th during fall term. Fifty-eight was the number of inhabitants winter term and the traditional spring term drop-off left the house with 50 living in. Although these numbers are encouraging, the 55.67 average falls below the budgeted break-even point of 57. Thus we are faced with the possibility of again harboring a debt at the conclusion of the year. We hope this is not the cose. A revitalization of the fund-raising committee is in store, with the first project planned to be a rummage sale held in conjunction with Ffomecoming next year. More information shall be presented to you, as we hope to gain as much support from the graduate brothers as possible. Also to be mentioned for their strong efforts to reduce costs are both the housemother and cook, Mrs. "T" and Mrs. "K." These two are the best in the business at finding the food bargains, while still satisfying the tummies of the men of Kappa Omicron. A more concentrated effort is to be made in the future to minimize expenses and obtain extra income, for with today's inflation, we must fight the economy in order to keep our pocketbooks in operation. Kappa Omicron of Phi Gamma Delta is no exception. Fraternally, — David Thompson the Betas and came back to tie our cursed orchrivals for the league title with a 5-1 record. A last-second steal and basket to beat the Chi Phis and a 47-20 drubbing of runner-up Lambda Chi were highlights of the year. Moving into the playoffs, the hoopsters developed a bad case of Fiji Fever (a disease that perennially plagues us in first-round action) and dropped a noil- biter to the DUs by three points in an exact repeat of last year's results. On the "B" basketball front, things didn't go quite so well despite high expectations at the season's onset. The team struggled through a one-win campaign, the lowest victory output in many years for a Fiji squad. Our independent entry, the Fearless Fijis, fared better and chalked up a 3-2 record in their division. On a brighter note,the Brothers Thompson, Denny and Dave, successfully defended their all-university two-on-two championship by going undefeated in the round robin tournament. On the spring term circuit, we have almost all the brothers participating in at least one sport as we are fielding two squads in Softball, soccer, bowling, and track. We got off to a rough start in the first week of action with only our defending champion "A" bowlers getting a win. Things hopefully will perk up, though, OS we try to beat out the Betas for our league's allaround trophy and better last year's eighth-place finish among the 28 fraternities in athletics. Fiiis Have Hoop Success The usual dreary Oregon winter weather took the chapter indoors last term for basketball, and once again the Fijis came away with trophies. The "A"team, led by player/coach Bob Murphy and highscoring center Mike Boldt, rallied from an early-season loss to After three terms of heading up our sports program, I have resigned my responsibilities over to John Cox, who will do a good job in continuing our Phi Gam excellence in intramurals. If any graduate brothers have stories to tell or advice to give concerning intramurals at OSU,don't hesitate to write in and tell us about it. — Scoff Cassidy, Inframurai Direcfor S Fiji all-house picture, 1980: An early-morning display of I Kappa Omicron diversity. 0 I !\ i) \r\nSpring 1980 Page 5 THE BEAVER FIJI finish up landscaping for the summer. The court will be there again. All right! Also planned is the first annual Sorority Social Chairman Dinner (on the heels of the success of the Sorority Presidents' Dinner). This will be a good opportunity to get to know the 16 social chairmen on a firsthand basis, and for them to become personally familiar with our great fraternity. Next year should be even more exciting than thisyear now that we have a "system" for the new committee established. We always welcome graduate advice in this area, and maybe even some elbow grease if any of you are real fiesty (or would like to see the court in their bikinis at Fiji Park)! Think about it! Fraternally yours, — Ben Herman, PR/CS "Beaver" Thayer Steps Down as IFC Head Well, my term of office as Interfraternity Council president is over. The 1979-80 IFC year was a good one; many goals were realized, some overlooked, and still new priorities cropped up during our tenure. Personally, I learned many things, from Incumbent White Star Court member Carol Crooke (with hat) and new members (I. to r.) Joan Wright, Glenna managing time, money, and people, to discovering that there are good people in the Greek system who aren't even Fijis! Holloway, Dani Taylor, Heidi Lichtenthaler, Rhonda Roberts, It is with mixed emotions that I vacate my office to devote and Lisa Stewart take time out to gather 'round the sign. my senior year to academics. (We'll have to see about that!) Revamped Community Committee Serves As the year closes, I wish to summarize our accomplishments up to this point. Since our committee system was revamped into 12 committees, I am now in charge of public relations/community service instead of merely community service. Public relations is basically what it says, spreading the good name of the fraternity, and community service is still the same as before, serving the community in a variety of ways. Even though the year has been at a low in community service activities at the home front, we did get heavily involved internationally. We participated in the 1980 Cambodian fast in which we sacrificed a day's worth of meals and donated the money to the cause. Also, we are sponsoring a child in India. His name is Biswajit Halsona. Behind me, though, ore many Phi Gams to look out for our interests on the council. Chris Rosenlund was appointed to the IFC Judicial Committee and was also elected executive secretary. Ray McCorkle and Sam Skillern are on the IFC Assistance Council; Richard Schoenberg is on the IFC Sing Committee; and Steve James has just finished his term as IFC Joint Activities chairman. Dave Thompson is on the IFC Athletic Relations Board, having just completed his rally squad duties. Currently applying for IFC positions are George Stephon, Mike Boldt, Mike Jamieson, and Jon Rodriguez, with more surely to come. Brother Skillern was also just recently named as one recipient of the IFC scholarship. My term as IFC president was a great experience, one that I would recommend any Fiji take part in. Interfraternally, — A/on Thayer Back at Kappa Omicron, we were honored by the university for outstanding community service at the annual fall awards banquet. We also did many of our yearly activities and added some new ideas to certain existing projects. To start things off, we went to Fiji Park, which is located at Ninth Street and Highway 99E. We maintain it for public use and it looks better and better every time we head out yonder! Next, pledges went on their annual Christmas-tree cut with our sister house, the Thetos. The group went up into the wilds and brought back a tree for each house and one for the senior citizens home. Good times were hod by everyone involved! Because of winter term's short duration and my late assignment to the chairmanship, we were only able to do Fiji Park this last term. I added a new twist and, hopefully, a new tradition to be carried on after I leave, and that is the participation of the White Star Court in this gardening event. We had a great time! We got a little work done and a few people ended up dunked in the mud, but what's work without a little bit of fun? Because of the Islander, I only planned a couple of activities for spring term. One is to go back out lo Fiji Park and Half of the lovely Fiji White Star Court assembled during last winter's Christmas party.

Enclosed is my check in the amount of $ ........Detach Here — Dear Brothers, Our alumni are "proof positive" of Phi Gamma Delta's consistently successful rush program of pledging quality men. The generous alumni support of our communications program year after year shows that Fijis regard their fraternity membership as a lifelong commit ment. Voluntary dues received so far in 1980 total $1,705 from 112 brothers. A summary appears on page 10 of this issue of the Beaver Fiji. The Kappa Omicron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta is very fortunate to have such tremendous support! Thank you, brothers I With the summer season upon us, your undergraduate brothers are gearing for a great summer vacation! But summer also means work for OSU's fraternity men. It is vitally important to the growth of a fraternity to have a large and strong pledge class. The undergraduates must start now in order to accomplish that goal by early fall. This means a summer of recruiting, traveling, and pulling together for Phi Gamma Delta. You c^ help by sending the undergraduates names and addresses of any young men you know with Fiji potential who will be entering Oregon State this fall. The more names the chapter receives, the greater the opportunity for an outstanding pledge class for Kappa Omicron. We continue to welcome your news notes, photographs, reminiscences, comments, compli ments, criticisms, and your checks in support of our alumni communications program. It is our hope that the 1980 Honor Roll of Contributors will list at least 200 names. Won't yours be one of them?
