Zketa 'DeuteroH Star Winter 1981 Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio NEW CABINET RUSH, PLEDGING SUCCESSFUL Theta Deuteron voted in five new cab inet members on November 1, 1980. The new members are Clay Farno, Historian. Ed Shellard, Corresponding Secretary; Dave Paragas, Recording Secretary: DaveArmbust, Treasurer; and Jim Link, Chapter President. Their initial steps were spent orienting themselves with the new positions. Last year's stellar cabinet was instrumental in Phi Gamma Delta. That is the response you will get from any of our nineteen terrific pledges when you ask them what they like the most about college. Although open rush hurt some fraternities and crippled others, our ease at adapting to this system really helped. We have now stopped taking new pledges. This is simply because we fear that a freshman who pledges now would miss out on both pledge completing this transition. Though three of education and house functions: the members are sophomores, the 1981 cab inet shows early signs of brilliant cohesive- as follows: sing up the chapter room and the results show his dedication.

Through increased partici pation in the chapter's committee system, we hope to achieve a status of total chapter in volvement among the undergraduate brothers and pledges. Hopefully, this will also serve as a catalyst to stimulate respect for the house and participation in all chapter events. The smooth and effecient operation of the chapter is the major goal of the new cabinet. We feel, however, there are some major items that must be tended to in order to reach that goal. They are as follows: 1) To restore ritual through two meetings per month and new ritual equipment. a symbolic relationship. I help them through experience and they help me by working on the house (house jobs, setting up parties,etc. This sort of relationship is one of the great pillars of strength at our house. A house that really pulls people together is truly a great one. I don't believe I should talk about the pledges too long, because after all, they are only pledges. - Chuck "Chas" Searle'81 Pledge Trainer NORRIS PIG DINNER SET - The annual Pig Dinner is set for Saturday, April 11, 1971 at Theta Deuteron. 2) To win or place in the Fraternity's Cup - Lunch on Saturday and a brunch on Sunday 3) To reduce accounts receivable among - Dinner Saturday night will be held d' competition (Baker) the undergraduate brothers. 4) To restore the TV room and 2nd floor bathroom.

FIJI INTRAUMURALS This fall once again marked the start of Fiji I.M. football. The team which was below 500 last year came back to be 7-1 overall and 5-1 in league play. The defense was impres sive from the start with Dan Glaser, Chip Hol- combe, Kevin Landy, Richie Coleman, and Mike Hollman ably covering the field and stop ping almost any deep penetration against the enemies. On the front line were Steve Brown, Scott Feverston, Randy Shively, Dave Paragas, and Ken Bennett. This front line action was In the off sea son Bob received an N.F.L. questionnaire form from the Dallas Cowboys. Two other Fi jis , seniors Steve Bruce and Bill Evans were chosen co-captains. The remaining Fiji var sity contingent included Mike Vadini, Marc Terman, Eric Winkel, Kevin Callagy, Burton White, Mike Sullivan, Rich Dunlop, Ralph Gehring and Erik McWilliams. Other Phi Gams are active in Ohio Wes- leyan athletics. Junior Dave Armbrust, who is in his third year of varsity wrestUng is making a strong attempt at the OAC champion ship for his weight class.

Two Phi Gams, seniors Tom "Vince " Bagli and Bill Mc That idea never entered the Phi Gams' mind who came back hitting harder every time. Finishing off the defense was Dave Armbrust at linebacker. Dave was able to seal off the screen many times and also was in able posi tion to stop the run. On offense the team was led by Chuck Searle and Jim Link. Chuck saw most of his action in the early season, was a quick thinker who really knew where his re ceivers were. Jim Link had a quick release and could really thread the needle with his passes. The receiving corps was led by Billy MacDonald, Glaser, Holman and Stellard. Billy Mac, a four year starter was all over the field grabbing everything within reach. Mike was famous for his high leaps and one handed catches. Dan, for his part, added the deep threat and was almost magically able to grab the ball out of a defender's hand. Stellard, a hurdler in high school, was able to dart in and out of seemingly impenetrating defenses. Finishing off the receiving corps was Tim Donald alternate In the goal for the Bishops. Sophomore Doug Cole is also a member of the Battling Bishops lacrosse team. Rounding out the athletic prowess of our chapter is sopho more Clayton Farno who is a member of OWU ice hockey team. The members of Theta Deuteron are prom inent in other areas. Tom Bagli, as well as playing lacrosse, is running for senior class trustee. Mike Hollman, Ken Bennett and Burt White will be running for positions on the In ter fraternity Council.
