Vol. CXXIV, No. 1 Phi Gamma Delta, DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana Winter 1980 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- The Great Flood I do wish I had a picture of the time myself, Steve Vickery '73 and Bruce "Bobo" Morse got loaded at 713 (which in 71-72 was THE bar to go to). We came back to the house singing and having a great time. Then we decided to take a beer and sing in the showers. Well we sang and sang until we all passed out, someone right on the drain. We flooded the third floor halls . That was the first of many late night "showers". By the way, I'm Tom ''Set'' Swanger '75. Lambda Graduate David Roeder Held Hostage In Iran Lt. Col.

Col. David M. Roeder, a 1961 graduate of DePauw University, is one of the hostages being held in Tehran. In early January the militants threatened trial for Roeder as a "war criminal" because he flew combat missions in Vietnam. Roeder was less than a week into a one year tour of duty as deputy Air Force attache when the U.S. embassy was seized November 4, 1979. At DePauw Roeder was a member of Phi Gamma Delta.

But by adopting a strict honorable policy, we have left ourselves open to the damage done by other fraternities practich1g dirty rush techniques. In an effort 'CO avert impairment by other houses this year, the brothers at Lambda Chapter decided not to abandon fair play during rush week, but to give an all out effort in presenting the challenge our house has to offer to an individual striving to develop to his full potential. This theme was not only transmiaNltot"he-ruslre-es--through their conversation with the house members, but was strongly emphasized in President Jeff Millard's speech during the rushing round. The determination of Lambda led to a reward long deserved. Without a doubt, the finest pledge class at DePauw resides at Fiji. The rush program got under way about a year ago when Mike Henn and Eric Vale were elected to head the rush Committee. This was the beginning of a general feeling of confidence in the brothers. Through Mike and Eric's diligent work, it quickly became evident that we had the foundation for a very strong rush program. We didn't spring pledge anyone in the second semester of last year; pledging only the most qualified Fiji material was one of our goals, and we were willing to wait. Our first real glimpse of the polished young men we were looking for did not come until the first of two summer rush parties. The party, thrown by brother Angus Clark in Glen Ellen, Illinois, displayed an atmosphere filled with Fiji warmth and emotion that would attract just the people we were pursuing.
