A lot of enthusiasm and hard work from the chapter earned us a second place in the over-all intramural competition on campus. Once again we lost to our perrenial rivals, the Sigma Nu's by only a few points. Although Fiji led the IM race from the basketball season on, our downfall came in horseshoes when we failed to place! If you know of any promising, young "shoe throwers," please let us know! Being the only house on campus with an all-around good record, we took great pride in our second place finish in fraternity scholarship competition. Despite Lambda's record high house average of 2.815 (far above the all men's average of 2.620, we still finished second by a few hundredths of a point. With many individual successes in the house last year combined with our record on campus, Lambda again has a big challenge to better the previous year's accomplishments . This is my fourth year here, three of which we have finished second in both scholarships and !M's. Nevertheless, I'm confident that the '67-'68 endeavor will bring a first place in one if not both of the major areas for fraternity competition. Even more rewarding to me than our tangible assets are the intangible assets that make a group of guys living together -a -frate.r-ni-t Some call it brotherhood; others think that is a cliched term and don't call it anything. But the fact remains that a certain untouchable and indescribable atmosphere, feeling, or whatever, is present at Lambda now and should make this year a great success. Fraternally, Chuck Jenkins President Ferge! GRAD RELATIONS Of the seven hundred graduate questionnaires sent out in January, two hundred have been returned. We would like to increase this 29 % return to 100%. Please fill out your selfmailing questionnaire and send it to Lambda . This information will be used for future Tiger Fiji features and fr more accurate files . Chapter President Chuck Jenkins offers congratulations to Editors Dick Marvin (lefi) and Bruce Menk for the Coon Plaque. Gams A.ctive In Fall Sports After a third-place finish in the Snavely Cup competition, an award based on the number of varsity lettermen and frosh numeral winners, the Phi Garns seem onto an even better record this year with an impressive list of participants- ill fall sports. Starting with football, many fighting F ijis are representing the Old Gold on the gridiron. For the third year, Coach Tommy Mont is alternating Dan Breckenridge and Eric Lortz as qu arterback. Breckenridge, key player in D ePauw's comeback victory over Wabash, holds a helmetfull of Bengel passing records. Lortz, also a good passer, exhibits tremendous ability as a runner. Bill Scaife, starter on last year's fine defensive club, returns this season at his middle linebacker spot. Junior Warren Onken looks to have a good chance at offensive tackle as does sophomore Bob Kleinops. Frank Lowery, another sophomore, looks like a good bet to break in at linebacker, and Jerry Hoffman, huge tackle, has already won a berth on defense. Chris Maron, Bob Kirk, and John D oan are playing lambda Coon Wins Plaque At the recent Fiji Academy , held August 28-30, Lambda chapter was honored with the award of the Owen L. Coon Plaque for the b est chapter publication. President Chuck Jenkins accepted for the chapter. The plaque was donated by Owen L. Coon, a 1915 graduate of Northwestern. According to the Purple Pilgrim. "the Coon P laque is awarded to that chapter whose publications are adjudged most distinctive, newsworthy, and journalistically superior." This is the first win for Lambda chapt er in this competition. Editors for last year'S' Tiger Fiji were Kerry Mos~op , D ick Marvin, and Bruce Menk. President Jenkins stated, "We were su rprised, but at the same time, honored at the presentation of the Coon Plaqu e. We certainly hope to keep it." freshman football. The Tigers are rebuilding this year in cross country, and key building blocks are Fiji freshmen Steve Romohr and Wayne Martin.

Olson was the baccalaureate speaker at DePauw this year and also received an honorary degree. While he was here in Greencastle, he was guest of honor at a banquet given by Lambda Chapter as part of the Alumni Day Program. S everal of Olson's classmates returned, including Irving Lacy, A lbert Rosencran z. and Gilbert McCleary . An awardS' dinner was held on Monday night to award chapters such distinguished awards as the Owen Cup, Jordan Bowl, Baker Cup, Condon Cup, and Coon Plaque. Lambda was fortunate enough to win the last award. After registration was completed, the Academy was convened by Executive Secretary W i 11 i am Zer man. Brother Zerman welcomed the delegates and introduced Archon President Danner Lee Mahood and the afternoon's main speaker, Hugh J . Baker. During the three days of instruction, delegates heard lectures concerning graduate relations, pledge education, public relations, rush, and scholarship. After each lecture, there followed a discussion session in which opinions were expressed and ideas advanced to help each chapter improve in these areas. Perhaps the highlight of the Academy was the Model Norris Pig Dinner. Believe me, we picked up some n ew ideas which will be u sed in our Pig Dinner on October 14. The dinner itself was followed by an enligh tening and inspired speech by Danner Lee Mahood. He spoke about the importance of maintaining high scholarship and good conduct across the nation while g e n t 1 y r epremanding those chapters who seemed to ignore these invaluable attributes. For his effort, Archon President Mahood received a standing ovation. E ach day there was a "bonus period" in which the delegates: could join one or more discu ssion sessions in such areas as the committee system, chapter adminitration, finances, and leadership and organizational bchniques. The academy was well-organized and Indiana provided excellent facilities. The great brotherhood and stimulating exchange of ideas made the Academy an exciting and broadening experience. 1954 Ralph Riecker is with the municipal bond section of the Continental IllinoiS' Bank and Trust Company. 1957 Brother Vern Dahlstrom writes to inform that he and his wife, Marty, are parents again, another girl.

Intramurals Take Shape Earlv At Lambda ~~~~~~~~~- Though classes have just started, intramurals are already well underway at DePauw. Last year, Lambda finished second in intramural competition, and with the hope of getting a better start this year, think that this could be the year for first. Coach Bill Stoner has been rounding his footballers into shape, and hopes to start the year out with a good start in football. Quarterback Pete Valessares will be pitching to such sure-handed receivers as Dan Winters and Mike Hickman. Stoner says his defensive secondary is also in good shape. With the return of Chuck Jenkins, medalist of last year's tournament, Fiji hopes for intramural golf are high. Besides Jenkins, Bill Stoner and Dave Jensen are returning veterans. In tennis, upperclassmen and several sharp pledges should combine to form a strong team.
