PIG DMNER PLANNED
Tom Minick '82, Norris Pig Dinner chairman for 1980, has set
the date for the 1980 Norris Pig Dinner. This will be April 12,
1980. All of the details will be revealed in a forthcoming
separate mailing! Set this date aside. Our goal is 100
graduates in attendance this year!
The 1979 Norris Pig Dinner was a rousing success. Over 20
graduates were in attendance, and they were treated to an
excellent program under the direction of Dean Toriumi '80.
He set the mood for a fun-filled evening.
The speaker was Archon Secretary Donald R. Mighell
(Indiana '56). His speech combined a history of Gamma
Deuteron lore with the impact of the international fraternity
and how the two fit together.
A highlight of the program was "Phi Gam Memories of the
The dinner was held in the Lincoln Room on the Knox
Past," compiled by Dean Toriumi '80 and David Brackman

campus. "Topper" Steinman '70 was master of ceremonies.

Bill Dean Honored
(Reprinted from the Scarsdale Inquirer, Ed.)
Willard Dean, one of Scarsdale's most honored residents, has
been selected by the Chamber of Commerce as its Citizen of
the Year for 1979. Dean was selected by a chamber committee
chaired by Donald Metz to receive the award, which each year

community.
Only the second person to receive both the Scarsdale Bowl
and the chamber award (the late Harriette Krantz was the
first), Willard Dean has lived on Innes Road since 1949.
During his 30 years here, he has been one of the village's most
prominent civic leaders.
Dean served on the Village Board for two terms and has been
a member of the Planning Commission and the Zoning Board
of Appeals. Currently he is chairman of the Board of Ethics.
The 1969 recipient of the Scarsdale Bowl, Dean was elected
the next year as president of the Town Club, an organization
in which he continues to be very active.
Among the other organizations in which Dean has been active
are the Boy Scouts, the Red Cross, the Heathcote PTA,
Hitchcock Presbyterian Church, the East Scarsdale Associa
tion, the Scarsdale Historical Society, and the Village
Organizations Coordinating Group, of which he is former
chairman.
A staunch supporter of the high school athletic teams. Dean
was honored last year by the Maroon & White as Scarsdale's
"Number One Rooter." He is also a former recipient of
Volunteer Fire Company No. 3's White Hat Award.
Born in Galesburg, Illinois, in 1898, Willard (Bill) Dean is a
graduate of Knox College and has served on its board of
trustees for 30 years.
Dean retired in 1964 after 36 years with Consolidated
Laundries, where he was a vice president. He and his wife,
Mary Liz, have a son. Bill, Jr., and three grandchildren.
Another son, Thomas, was killed in 1968 while serving in
Vietnam.

THE G. D. FIJI
From The President's Desk
Dear Brothers,
Gamma Deuteron begins the 1980s with a genuine spirit of
enthusiasm. The five brothers who attended the 16th Fiji
Academy have returned with many new ideas and ways of
strengthening the already thriving chapter. New brothers are
eager to occupy the niches vacated through the graduation of
older brothers.
Financially, the chapter is in good order. Treasurer Steve
Hungness '81 has done a fine job with the books, and his work
should keep Gamma Deuteron in fine shape. However,
graduate donations are always greatly appreciated and are
used to help finance the correction of structural problems
which the house is frequently faced with. At the present time,
shower problems on both the second and third floors have left
large holes in the ceilings on both the first and second floors.
Hopefully, these problems can soon be corrected.
We had a strong rush committee this fall, headed by Joe
Czurylo '80.
As part of our never-ending efforts to strengthen the chapter's
relations on campus and in the city of Galesburg, our public
relations committee, headed by Steve Zocchi '80, is off to a
fine start. Steve has organized the chapter to participate in
and help coordinate several activities with the local Boy Scout
troop. A litter pick-up and wiener roast were held on
Saturday, October 27, with a tricycle marathon through
downtown Galesburg to raise money for local needy children
held the preceding weekend. Along with these activities, our
traditional Halloween party for the local day care center
children is always a success.
Overall, the undergraduate chapter has the enthusiasm and
potential to make it a great year! We expect nothing less.
Fraternally,
Kent E. Williams

problems of my own. 1 regret any reference which 1 may have
made to prostitution.
Thirdly, the outlook of the chapter is good. Our publication
looks very good, and I hope we will have a shot at the Coon
Plaque, awarded by the International Fraternity for the best
undergraduate chapter publication. This issue would not be
what it is without your support. Please fill out the enclosed
questionnaire today.
Finally, feel free to submit any suggestions, comments, or
letters. We enjoy hearing from you, and when we hear from
you, your former classmates can hear from you. We have tried
to supply as many addresses as possible in this issue. Why not
write an old friend? Also, we encourage any donations which
would help to defray our printing costs.
Fraternally,
David Brackman

letters
October 9, 1979
Dear President,
Evidently you have not heard of the untimely death of my
husband, Harry B. Hoffman, class of'28, on May 30, 1978.
A friend of the family (a Phi Gam) contributed to the
Educational Foundation of the Fraternity in memory of
Harry. The winners of the undergraduate achievement
memorial awards were given to the newly installed Alpha Mu
chapter at Texas A&M University. Two men, a sophomore
and a junior, each received a $100 check.
Gamma Deuteron sent five men to the 16th Fiji Academy held
this past August 12-16 at the Bloomington campus of Indiana
University. These were Scott Baldwin '81, David Brackman
'81, Marty Glickman '80, Steve Malecha'81, and Jim Murphy
'82.
The theme of the Academy was "Leadership and
Brotherhood." The Academy commenced on Sunday night
with a formal dinner. The next two days consisted of
leadership training. The final two days consisted of special
classes covering alcohol abuse, hazing, conflict management,
rush, finances, and other topics of importance.
time of Harry's death had made reservations to return to his
50th reunion, but never made it.
The delegates were also present at a model initiation which
was performed. This ceremony helped us to make our ritual
stronger here at Knox and made us all realize the essential
part the ritual plays in our fraternity.

Although Knox did not receive an award, we feel that the
suggestions for improvement which our delegates obtained
and the things which they learned from and with the brothers
from other chapters can help us to improve in the year ahead.
All five men enjoyed their trip and are looking forward to

their next convention.
Dear Jim,
1 just want to thank you again for all your hope at
Homecoming when 1 got pinned. I thought that since pinning
Fiji island
and She Gams seem to be such an ancient custom, I'd explain
what happened.
When I was a student at Knox in 1961, I was invited to She
Gam weekend. At the weekend we were given She Gam
medals to wear. Well, I've had mine on my charm bracelet for
17 years.
Soon after, I met and started dating Gary, a TKE. We were
married in 1964. He gave me a TKE lavalierbut neverpinned
me. 1 have always wanted to be pinned, so last year he finally
said he would pin meat Homecoming on one condition: that I
would bury my She Gam medal in the Phi Gam yard. Of
course, never did I dream that in doing so I'd have a Phi Gam
to help me. Without your flashlight to locate the medal and
your help in digging the hole, I probably wouldn't be pinned.
So, although I'msureallthisseemed unreal to you, it was very
special to me, and I appreciate your help. Many thanks.
Fondly,
Sue Nies
(Editor's note: The recipient of this letter was Jim Murphy
'82, who aided Sue in her hour of need. The latest She Gam
class was taken in 1973.)
The social highlight of last spring term was the annual Fiji
Island party. Last year the party washeld on a farm owned by
Jim Murphy's '82 parents. The farm is located on a large
acreage near Atkinson, Illinois, about 50 miles north of
Galesburg. The land has a small lake and there is a pool
adjacent to the house. Needless to say, everyone got wet!
The party was highlighted bya pigroast. The hog wasroasted
overnight for 12 hours straight by Brian Cox '79 and his
father. This good-sized hog disappeared in less than one hour.
Another highlight of the party was the crowning of the Pig
Queen. (Neighboring Kewanee boasts that it isthe hog capital
of the world.) Tracey McCracken (Delta Delta Delta'81), the
date of Scott Baldwin '81, gave the best piglike answers and
was judged by the experts as reigning Pig Queen.
Fiji Island '79 also featured the "Bone Vigil," organized by
Tom Woolwine '81 and Steve Zocchi '80. This consisted of
boiling cow bones in lyeto bleach them white. The bones were
then dried and each Fiji decorated one as his invitation to his
date. Tom and Steve learned of this practice from Phi chapter
at Northwestern and adapted it for us at Knox.

The team wound up with a total 10-12 record and a 6-2 record

average, an on-base average of .512, and 29 stolen bases, to
rank him among the Division 111 national leaders. Norm's

Steve Cheesman, a junior from Galesburg, Illinois, was
Knox's first baseman for the seeond straight year. Although
he had an off season at the plate, he had a three-run homer
against Grinnell to secure a victory. Steve again had a great
year in the field, as he had 90 putouts, 10 assists, and 0 errors
for a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.
Steve^ LaMore, a junior from Bourbonnais, Illinois, was
Knox's third baseman for thesecond straight year. Steve hit
.255, including a three-run homer versus Bradley. He also had
two appearances as a relief pitcher, compiling a save and a
victory. Next year should prove to be Steve's best, as he'll
probably shift from third base to shortstop.
Jim Lofgren, a juniorfrom Des Plaines, Illinois, was Knox's
second baseman for the second straight year. Jimmy hit a
respectable .267 from the second slot in the order. He was
second on the team in runs batted in and tied for fewest
strikeouts with three. Jimmy should also have his best vear
ahead of him.

team were Fred Heger (23), Jim Lofgren (2), Scott Baldwin (7),
Steve Cheesman (14), Steve LaMore (6), and Norm Hlllner(11).

Scott Baldwin, a sophomore from Galesburg, Illinois, was a
part-time catcher this year. Scott caught every game Fred
Heger pitched to complete the all-Fiji infield. Scott, who is a
very fine defensive catcher, had a I.OOO fielding percentage
and threw out five ofthe seven men who attempted tosteal on
him. This was Scott's first year on the team, and he also
should continue to improve next year.
Greeks Sponsor
Fun Run
The Greek community of Knox College and the Galesburg
Conference of Churches recently united together in common
support of UNICEF. UNICEF is a non-profit, non-partisan
organization which aids the most deprived ehildren in more
than 100 eountries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America with
food, medicine, and equipment in order to improve their
health, education, and living conditions. Knox College
fraternities and sororities sponsored a "Fun Run" around
Standish Park, in front of Knox College, on the 28th of
October at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon. Mary Filosa (Delta
Delta Delta '82) and Michael Kraynak (Phi Gamma Delta
'82), coordinators of the Knox College campus UNlCEF
drive, kept the Greeks busy collecting money at the soccer
game in the Knox Bowl and at the SandburgMall on October
27, and convened this year's campaign by collecting for
UNICEF on Halloween inthearea around the Knox campus.
This is the International Year of the Child. Children all
around the world need our help to survive. The Greeks of
Knox College, realizing this, are doing their part in UNICEF
for the poor and starving children.

College Reaches $12 Million Goal
At the close of the 1978-79 fiscal year, Knox's three-year $12
million fund raising drive came to a close. This verysuccessful
drive, called "A Program for the Future," not only reached its
goal, but to the elation of many, surpassed that goal.
The final figure realized at the close of the drive was
$ 13,071,755. The funds were accumulated over the three-year
period from many different areas. Approximately S4.7
million came from individuals and institutions from the
Galesburg area. Three Galesburg executives headed the
Galesburg campaign: Richard Bishop, Richard Johnson, and
Bruce Rowe.
The second highest in the giving category were Knox alumni,
many of which were graduate brothers of Gamma Deuteron.
A total of $1.7 million were collected from the alumni. The
rest of the funds were collected from bequests, foundations,
and from federal program grants.
The committee in charge of the drive was headed by two Knox
trustees. Dr. Frank J. Kerous of Wood Dale and William G.
Karnes of Flossmoor. Mr. Karnes, retired chairman and chief
executive for Beatrice Foods, currently practices law in
Chicago. Mr. Karnes is a graduate brother of Phi Gamma
Delta, class of 1933, from the Chi Iota chapter at the
University of Illinois. E. Inman Fox, president of Knox
College, said, "Without the leadership of these two devoted
trustees, the success of this drive might not have been realized
on schedule. We are truly indebted to them for their tireless
and outstanding service to the college." Knox and Gamma
Deuteron are very proud to have had Bill Karnes co-chair this
drive.
We are also proud to have in our chapter this year James
Murphy '82, the son of Robert W. Murphy (Tau Kappa
Epsilon '31), who was also instrumental in the reaching of the
$12 million goal. Mr. Murphy is regarded with the utmost
respect and admiration at Gamma Deuteron chapter and in
the eyes of Knox College.
E. Inman Fox pointed out that the college's operating budget
has grown 33% over the three-year period of the campaign. In
light of this fact, the fund raising will continue here at Knox,
hopefully with the same success as over the last three years.

school where their mothers were waiting. Steve termed the
party "another rousing success."

Trike-A-Thon for
International Year of
the Child Successful
Fall term's major community affairs project was a trike-athon, organized by public relations and community service
chairman Steve Zocchi '80.
This project demonstrated the true beauty and utility of the
committee system, with everyone taking an active part.
Pledges for laps around a cordoned area had to be solicited
and collected. All monies went to the Red Cross for the
International Year of the Child. Area businesses donated
window space for advertisement. Many businesses donated
food or services. An entertainer performed at the Park Plaza
outdoor theatre on East Main Street, donating his time.
Not only was this event profitable for the underprivileged
children of the world, but it demonstrated to all of us that the
true brotherhood exists at Gamma Deuteron, and that we can
have fun while we do a good deed. The trike-a-thon resulted in
presenting a $160 check to the Red Cross from Gamma
Deuteron of Phi Gamma Delta.

Snake Dance
Homecoming
Festivities
The Interfraternity Council has been trying to bring back
some of the old Greek Homecoming traditions. This year it
brought back the combination Snake Dance and Bonfire on
Friday night, October 12, in an effort to have an effective pep
rally.
The Snake Dance was kind of slow in getting off the ground.
However, the dance was led through the campus and wound
around back towards the main gym's parking lot. The people
who attended had a good time. The parking lot was the
location of the bonfire. The head football coach gave his pre-
game pep talk. The team captains then spoke on how the Coe
Kohawks were going to get plucked at the game. The
cheerleaders gave their cheers, and the pile of wood,
cardboard, and other flammable items were set ablaze only
after gasoline was tossed on the massive pile. The rally was
not well attended, but the reinstated tradition was a success
for those present, and next year promises a bigger turnout
with more enthusiasm. Perhaps extremely cold temperatures
kept some students away. At any rate, Knox emerged
victorious in the Homecoming game on Saturday, 28-21.

Greek Sing
Knox has attempted to rekindle some old traditions of the
past. One of these is the All Greek Sing. On October9, all of
the members of each of the eight Greek organizations met on
the Gizmo patio by Seymour Union for a sing-off.
The eventwas organized at the suggestion of Tom Woolwine
'81, whose father. Con Woolwine (Knox '52, Nebraska '52),
led the Fiji singers to a victory in the early '50s.
Edward "Skip" Ingersoll '82, whose father also is a Fiji, class
of '58, led the Fijis in the singing of "Cannibal Isles," with
piano accompaniment by John Chorney '80, and in the a
cappella version of an original composition by Tom

Two Fijis Take to
Soccer Field
This past season, two Phi Gams participated on the Knox
soccer team. These two brothers are Jun Adachi '81 and Steve
Czerwinski '82. The Siwash won the Southern Division
championship of the Midwest Conference for the ninth
consecutive year with a 4-0 conference slate. The team lost
seven starters to graduation, including Norm Hillner'79 and
Joe Nichols '79. Norm, as a co-captain in his senior year,
scored 10 goals and had five assists. The 10 goals tied him as
Knox's all-time leading scorer with 32 career goals, and he
was selected as the outstanding senior athlete. Joe also had a
great year, earning all-conference honorable mention.
Jun Adachi, a junior from Yokohama, Japan, returned as a
two-year all-conference player and had a fine season, with
two goals and one assist. From his halfback position, he is a
key player both on offense and on defense. Jun will captain
next year's squad.
Steve Czerwinski, a sophomore from Oak Forest, Illinois, is
playing a second goalie. With his well-built body, he is a key
