THE BOILERMAKER FIJI Lambda Iota Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity Vol. XXXVI, No. 1 FIJIS PLAY MAJOR ROLE FOR CHAMPION BOILERMAKERS Purdue University had some of its finest hours this past football sea son as the Boilermakers, tauted by Frame started at center until his in many as the best football team in the defensive halfback. nation, rolled up an impressive 8-2 Frame, a junior from South Bend, Indiana, was probably the smallest center in the Big Ten at 6'2" and 198 pounds. Losing Mike at Iowa hurt the Boilermakers, for he did not re turn at full strength until the Indiana record. Had it not been for a stun ning upset by Indiana on the final Saturday of the season, Purdue would have been ranked at least third and probably second in the two major college polls. Phi Gamma Delta played a major role in contributing to the teams suc cess. Five brothers, all of whom will return next year, received letters and two were consistent January, 1968 West Lafayette, Indiana starters. Mike jury in the Iowa game, while Tim Foley got the nod every Saturday at game. Tim Foley, a sophomore from Chi cago, was named the outstanding de fensive back on the squad at the closing banquet November 27th. Fol ey pulled down three interceptions during the campaign. His jobs con sisted of such difficult tasks as de fending against Notre Dame's Jim Seymour, Illinois' John Wright and receiving punts while in single safe ty. Bob Dillingham, a junior end from London, Ohio, will probably be one of the mainstays in next year's pass ing attack. Bob can catch anything that is near him, and that's no exag geration. He grabbed 8 passes for 126 yards, many of which came in crucial situations. One of the finest moments in Fiji glory came in the Minnesota game when sophomore quarterback Don Kieport passed to end Bill Liber for a touchdown. Don hails from John stown, Pennsylvania and is majoring in Pharmacy. Liber is a junior from Alliance, Ohio and has chosen Indus trial Economics as major field of stu dy. With the season now over, and the dust beginning to settle over RossAde Stadium, the glory of Purdue Fiji football players lingers on. In the post-season polls Mike Frame re ceived honorable mention A 11-B i g Ten, while Tim Foley was named to the second team All-Big Ten defen sive unit. When talking of football and Phi Gamma Delta you have to include senior manager Tom O'Gara. Tom is also majoring in Industrial Econo mics as well as being Correspond ing Secretary for the fraternity. As can be readily seen. Phi Gamma '4T Bill Liber Delta is helping to establish the tra dition of winning at Purdue Univer sity — a tradition that has long en dured, and hopefully will continue Don Kiepert long into the future. \r\nPage Two THE Boilermaker Fiji January, 1968 BOILERMAKER FIJI FIJI ON THE GO At Lambda Iota, Phil worked as a waiter and steward from his fresh man until school year he 1949.

We will be good only as long as each of us works at it; no one can afford to "coast" on the reputa tion of his predecessors. \r\nJanuary, 1968 THE BOILERMAKER FIJI Page Three ALPHA GRADUATE CORPORATION OF THE FRATERNITY OF PHI GAMMA DELTA AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY 640 Russell Street West Lafayette, Indiana October 29, 1966 Dear Brother: You may recall that in 1958 the Alpha Graduate Chapter was reorganized into two constituent groups. We did this to take advantage of a 1953 Indiana Corporation Act for fraternal organizations which exempts all real and personal property from future taxation. We now have two corporations: Alpha Graduate Corporation, and Lambda Iota Graduate Corporation. The real estate at 640 Russell Street was deeded to the Lambda Iota Graduate Corporation, which will remain the house-holding corporation. The main purpose of this letter is to advise you of opportunities for giving and making bequests. To our knowledge, Alpha Graduate Chapter has never made a general appeal for funds for dues, and this letter should not be so construed. There may be some of our members, however, who would welcome the opportunity to give if they understood the need and the manner by which such giving could be accomplished. In the next few years some major building program at 640 Russell Street seems inescapable. The Long-Range Building and Planning Committee is studying possibilities now. The creation of a reserve or the repayment of future loans will depend largely upon the generosity of our Graduate brothers. For example, the proceeds from the estate of Arthur O. Brockenbrough, '06 amounted to almost $20,000 and were used to retire the mortgage on the 1958 addition to the chapter house. The range of possibilities for helping our Graduate Chapter is enormous. There are many ways of making gifts. Some of the more popular methods are as follows: 1) outright cash donation, 2) gift of property—^for example, an insurance policy, 3) outright bequest of money, stock, real estate, etc. under will, 4) creation of a trust (either a testamentary trust or a living trust) in which the Graduate Chapter ultimately may share as a beneficiary. May we suggest that you consult your legal counsel or tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of any contemplated gift or bequest. The purposes for which our two corporations were establishe are appended to this letter and we will be pleased to provide additional information as needed, gifts or bequests are to be intended for the chapter house or land, the donee should be the ^ Iota Graduate Corporation." For all other purposes, the donee should be the "Alpha Graduate or poration of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta at Purdue University." You may wish to retain this letter with your valuable papers, for even if this is not the propitious time for you to make a decision of the type we are suggesting, you may find the information in this letter helpful at some later date. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to wri e o either one of us at R. R. 12, Lafayette, Indiana, 47905. Fraternally yours, Mel Melvin D.

Proceeding open rush came five weeks of formal smokers, lasting un school the a first six convocation weeks for freshmen was held by the IFC, at which the fraternity system was more or less introduced. Every rushee at tending was also assigned three houses (picked at random) which they were invited to see during smok ers set up on two different Sunday afternoons. At the conclusion of this "block" rush, there was an open rush period of four weeks, which the Fijis used to great advantage. Under the lead ership of rush chairman Jim Covert and his assistant Dave Hogg, there was never less than ten rushees per meal, and special rush functions in the form of a hay ride (thanks to the tremendous cooperation of graduate brother Tom Gould, who let us use the facilities of his farm), a sere nade, and a German-style dinner at a restaurant were set up. Through the help of recommendations o f Rushees were able to sign up for the houses they wished to see during the experiences I have had in my college, business, and fraternity ac tivities, I can easily see that these "common ideals and aspirations" have definitely played an important role in my life. Wliere else can a green freshman learn the waves and trends of a college campus? Where else can this green freshman achieve, not only scholastic efficiency, but character, morality, love, and esteem pride? Where else can a college man this period. We at the Phi Gam house held sixteen smokers, seeing thirtyfive rushees per smoker. Following these smokers came a "quiet period" lasting from the end of Christmas vacation to the be ginning of second semester, during which the only contact the brothers could have with rushees was com munication over the telephone. The period of concentrated rush during the initial two weeks of the second semester have been carefully organized by the rush chairman, and the brothers are waiting in eager an ticipation, hoping once again to pledge the "best class ever". feel the want and attainment of bro therhood, not only for today, but also for tomorrow, and the next day?

They were dressed in a randomly sprinkled kaleidoscope of colors, but they were tightly arranged around that seemingly s m a 11, gridironed, green piece of real estate which makes up the floor of Ross-Ade Sta dium. The white-caped and plumed bandsmen (affectionately known as the "marching million") strutted to the sounds of Hail Purdue, Fighting Varsity, and the famous Notre Dame Fight Song, and the Golden Girl and majorettes, Big Ten color bearers, and the huge bass drum paraded in accompaniment.
