CHI TAMA FRATERNITY OF PHI GAMMA DELTA ''DROP IN SOMETIME' JAN 19 1968 HOT FOR OOUBGE DAYS AlOHB CEMERAi. HEADQUARTERS WASH>iMaTOH« e. C. ROOt^ Chi Chapter, as you are well aware, is a very human organ ization. And like many such arganizations ii it could use more money than it has. However we have reached the point where we need more money than we have. As of last October, Chi Chapter was some|^l4,000 ija debt to the college. The time has now come where tue^raust iflake our debt good. Almost §5,000. was paid off immediately. It was arranged that over the next nine years the Chi Association would pajT back the remaining $9,000. This means that for the next nine years the Chi Association will have to produce $1,000, every November 1. It also means that for the next nine years the funds for such goodies as dishes, robes, furniture, etc. will be severely limited if at all existant. Now we are appealing to j'"ou, our alumni. ¥e urge you to pay your Chi Association dues, or at least contribute something. Help support your old fraternity. We exist by the grace of the college and it is extramely important that good-ifill exist belvreen us. One essential part of good Tflll is to pay off yoTir debts honestly and prom.ptly. Presently the Chi Association income i.sn't sufficient to pay off this debt. We hope that you will help us and we tjIII be sincerely grateful if you do. Following this article is a list of those who have aaid their alumni dues for 1967 (as of Nov. l). The list Isn'^t especially long when compared to the role of alumni. We hope you will make it longer this year. Norman Mauser David Irons Sr ioh Gan smul1e r Richard Lange Doni-S McLane Harold Towncend Arthur J. Beck WilliuTii .Oinoiiart Marstorn Ames Johii T.

Seay \r\nSCHOLASTIC IHCREAS] Chi Chapter continued its climb from the academic depths as we made an unofficial house index of 2.49 for this year's fall semester. I'niile it has not yet been announced by the lege, this score should put us above the all men's index the first time in nearly a year and a half, and certainly the all fraternity index. Equally significant is the fact our percentage below txfo-oh has dropped from 11^ to 8'Jb of colfor above that the actives. Breaking doxm the house index by classes, the juniors were by far the best with their 2.71, followed by the seniors >rt.th a 2.52. True to form, the sophomores were a dismal third with a miniscule 2.21 . Unforgivable, but certainly predictable. One major factor in our scholastic climb has been the study table. Onljr one of the study table's five occupants, who gaindd a seat by failing to break 2.00 the previous semester, i-rill return this semester. The average increase of the persons who used thes table was a remarkable .88 . This speaks very well for the table. Even though much time and energy will be diverted to pledging next semester, we hope to again improve the house index. PRIZE '^flMERS Our awards for the highest index and most improved index HOPMAIJN PLAOUE At the Chi Association meeting at Homecoming, it was for the fall semester went to decided that the 75th Anniver two juniors. Receiving '^18.00 sary would be commemorated by dedicating the living room to EranS Sargent Hoffmann, the each were Brothers Larry Suter for his perfect 4,00 index and Bill Gary for his increase of 1.33 from 2.00 to 3.33 . father of Chi. This xrill be done by installing a bronze plaque, about l8"x24", >rith a suitable inscription. LETTERS BACK UP The large, plywood greek letters which were removed from The presentation of the plaque will also kick off a library fund contributed annually half by the chapter and half by the Chi Association. Bach year the chapter house's exterior the money'', about)100, will go for last spring are back up again. Taken dcm by the college for some specific area, one which may be lacking, or one in which there is a special interest. Several College administrators and faculty have expressed ap proval of the plan, especially the giving of the books to the tax purposes ( dormatories aren' taxable while fraternity/ houses are), they'" finally consented to let us put them up again just before homecoming, The large x/hite letters face west college and are prominent throughout library. Books are the"tools of the trade" for the faculty and the lower end of camnus, will be much appreciated. \r\nCongratulations to Brother Ed Grover, '68, vfho became Mark Nelson, our lonely pledge, engaged to Miss Sue Carmel, his was initiated January 7» 1968, former girlfriend, steady and Pledged last May, Srother Nelson pinmate.
