The University appraised the land and building at $750,000. The unresolved issue is what it would cost to replace our existingfacility, ifwe are required to relocate. At our last meeting, on April 12th, we interviewedfive architectualfirms in an attempt to gather some preliminary information. We have hired James and Associates to complete afeasibility study to identify what the replace ment costs would be. The costfor this study will be approximately $3,500. Wefeel we will need this information to negotiate properly. It appears that the Law School expansion project, the research for the proposed acquisition, will receive approvalfrom the Legislaturefor 5.5 mil lion dollars infunding. It has passed through the House and is currently in the Senate Finance Committee. No decisions have been made on this entire issue. Your House Corpora tion is merely "doing it's homework"so we will be able to negotiate with facts, rather than speculation. We'IIkeep you allinformed assoon as we have any new information. Richard K. Williams President, Zeta Chapter House Corporation Over 150 Brothers Attend Norris Pig Dinner Despite a smaller turnout than in previous years, Zeta's 11th Pig Dinner was a success. The feast, held on Saturday, March 7th, attracted over 150 graduates and actives, as well as Archon President Joseph Carney (DePauw '50) and former Archon President Louis "Bud" Mangels(lU *56). After a day of socializing and the dinner itself, an evening convocation was held in the living room. William Keck '41 was toastmaster for the event, at which Zeta honored its out standing alumnus, two outstanding seniors,and an outstanding freshman.

This year, because of three busted spokes and a flat tire on the new faster track, Fiji finished seventh. After two-time All-Star rider Kevin King gained the lead from the 15th place start, he handed the bike to first-year rider (second year on the team) Chip Helm. Chip led the race for several laps then on approximately the 45th lap he came in with the flat tire. Kevin King was unable to catch the fast-moving pack from so far back. Then, after second-year rider Mark Effrein and first-year rider Matt Millikan traded sprint laps with Kevin and Chip the team decided to wait for the pack. Placing seventh was the highest finish possible after becoming one lap down. Both Perry Fogelsong and Kevin King won the annual Tyte award for the most contributions to the bike team. Congratulations to the entire team: Perry, Kevin, Mark,Chip, Matt,Kyle Grayson (asst. coach), and Bike Mechanics Doug Elmore, Dave Blemker, and Andy Weissert. attorney and a member of Zeta's House Corporation, received the out standing Alumni Award.Seniors Pete Turk and Tom Backoff were voted Zeta's Wilkinson Award Candidate and Outstanding Senior, respectively.

Intramural Update The Fijis again maintained their ex cellent intramural tradition, finishing second in overall fraternity competi "Ain^t No Stoppin' Us Now" Zeta once again demonstrated ver satility with a strong showing in the 51st annual lU Sing, for which the brothers from Beechwood paired with Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. Although the theme of the sing was "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now!", the judges left the show scripts open for interpretation. Our act traced the his tory of the cinema from the viewpoint of an industry documentary. The show included excerpts from "Heat Wave" and "The Sound of Music". The act concluded with a scene from the movie "Breaking Away", accom panied by the popular Christopher Cross song "Ride Like the Wind." David Malson '83, Andy Weissert '83 and John Effrein'83 were directors for Fiji's 1981 lU Sing effort.

The pledges served as a main cog in this year's program by winning championships in volleyball and foot ball, and placing in basketball. Third Place Scholastic Rating Keeps Zeta Well Above Average For the fourth year in a row, the Fiji "A" basketball team captured the Crimson (large) fraternity champion ship. Other Crimson championships were gained by the doubles ping-pong team of Brian Hedges '83 and Jim Holland '84 and by the "B" softball team. Next fall, the Fijis promise to return ready to do all that is necessary to re capture the intramural trophy it has won five out of the last seven years. Zeta finished third among lU fra ternities in house scholarship last semester, slipping slightly from the first place slot it occupied the semester before. Fiji achieved an overall grade aver age of 2.93, well above the university all-men's average. In January, over 50 brothers ate steak—the reward Jor CPA's over 3.0—at the Scholarship Dinner. Three brothers, Don Behrmann '82, Greg Nicholson '82 and Scott Gude- man '84 had perfect 4.0's, and thus were awarded lobster tails in addition to their steak. Brian Davis '82 also ate steak and lobster for improving his CPA by the largest margin over the course of a semester. Zeta is currently wrapping up its 22nd year above the university allmen's average,tops for chapters of the international fraternity. Philanthropies Put Fiji In Line For Baker Cup ruary, Zeta enjoyed a fine semester in the area of social service, and is hoping to finish highly in this year's Baker Cup race. The semester got off to a good start when the entire house participated in a miss-a-meal, donating the $100 the meal would have cost to the Bloom- ington United Way. In early Feb- the Student Recreational Sports Association sponsored the Spirit of Sport All-Nighter, a fund raiser competition against the SAE's and the Sigma Nu's, Fiji raised over 200 dollars in nickels, and was 1600 nickels ahead of the 2nd place finisher. Later that month, about 30 broth ers donated their lU basketball tickets to the local Boy's Club, giving many youngsters their only chance to see the NCAA champion Hoosiers in action. On April 11 and 12, many brothers did odd jobs for senior citizens around the Bloomington area. These endeavors, added to our first semester projects, leave us eagerly anticipating our highest Baker Cup finish ever! \r\nSummer,1981 Page 4 THE HOOSIER FIJI 1981 Norris Pig Dinner Graduate Brother Attendees Mike BaU Dave Behrmann Gene Fletchall Mark Hescman—Purple Lefionnaire Rick Nicholson W.H.
