V \r\nThe President's Message This spring semester of 1985 has been an especially busy one for all the undergraduate brothers here at Epsilon. With the help of the members of the House Cor poration, the members of the EGA, and Pop Cashion we identified cenain areas that the chapter could work to improve upon. Further emphasis will be placed on scholarship in an attempt to raise the academic performance of the house. The chapter has set a realistic goal, to move up five positions in the fraternity rankings. I am very pleased and enthusiastic about the respon sibility that the brothers are taking on in all areas ofim provement. I would like to thank Mr. Mayo Boddie for speaking to us at Pig Dinner in March. We all enjoyed him and hope that the attending graduates did as well. Thanks to all of you who have aided us in the past year. We are grateful for your contributions of time and money. I look forward to seeing each and all of you this fall at football games and Pig Dinner, which has been moved up to November 23. Treasurer's Report Here at Epsilon we are currently faced with a finan cial crisis. Dwindling membership and a lack of a budget has left the cabinet scrambling just to pay the final house bills. However, through conservation of money and a large April housebill, the chapter now has enough money to pay all its debts before closing for the summer. Besides working on an extensive budget, the cabinet members have come up with a plan to start the house off right in the Fall; something that has not been done in the past three falls. Based on the cabinet's sug gestion, all the brothers have agreed to donate $100 of their own summer earnings towards Epsilon. If all 40 brothers pay, that should leave the chapter with about a $6,000 asset account in the fall. Also, no brother will be allowed to move into the house in August until he has paid his entire room rent and first month housebill. Through strict budgeting and prompt payment of housebills, the financial situation should gain great strength in the fall semester. With help from all cabinet members, the EGA, and Bill Greekmuir, House Gor- poration treasurer, we are solving the financial situation at Vance Hall. David P. Gwyn Fraternally, Paul R.

Compiling nearly 2,000 points in the fraternity point system and finishing in the top ten of all fraternities on campus. After the dismal performance of Coach Crum's team, faulty shower room and the slate roof will receive some patchwork. It is hoped that the roof repair will remedy some of the leaking that occurs during rainstorms. Other projects scheduled for the grounds will be the planting of new shrubs in front of the house. The front lawn is no longer a field of mud. The grass this spring has been carefully maintained and the results make our front yard look the best in the neighborhood. On the lighter side of the news. Bill Steed and other brothers have waged a war against those pesky pigeons in the third floor gutter. Armed with B-B guns, the brothers have recently managed to secure the once Fiji football was a breath of fresh air. With the light ning fast offense and the steel curtain defense the team finished 6-2. Epsilon chapter also had three basketball teams com peting. Each team had a chance in the playoffs, but the opponents came out on top with mostly luck. Volleyball was a new look to Fiji athletics, along with bowling the two sports were new additions to the brothers. This year's soccer and Softball teams showed signs of greatness. We hope that next year's programs will bring home the gold. hostile situation.

Social Report This spring has been one of our most socially in volved yet. Upon returning to school, we had a very suc cessful mixer with the Phi Del Society from Wake Forest. The following week we went to Wintergreen Ski Resort with our little sisters. Our best joint effort to date was with the SAE's, the ZETE's and our little sisters. The backyard party lis tened to the sounds of The Connell's. Kevin Mertens was especially thrilled with the outcome, "I've never seen so many white girls in all my life!" Jim Lilley also was pleased with a jovial, "a little T and A never hurts anyone." The two seniors made that night a special one, needless to say. This year's Fiji Island was hampered by a lack of funds and dead bamboo. The brothers, however, over came the adversity to put together a Fiji Island that will long be remembered. Ward Sylvester claims, "Thish the besht Fieja Hand A Evar Shaw." Ward and the other seniors all joined in the fun. John Sessions, another senior, pointed out "B.T. makes the besht shtuff." Robert Smith, obviously caught up in the ex citement stated, "1 had the best time Saturday after noon." Please note that right at the start of the 1985 fall semester there will be several rush functions. Bradley Herring Recognize anyone from this picture?
