The first, and most exten sive, recommendation is that Beechwood's existing one-story addition at the front of the house be incorporated into a three-story addition that would stretch across the south entrance. This addition would create eight new sleeping spaces on the second floor and expand the sleeping space in the third floor dormitory by 50 percent. A new entry off of Third Street would also be added, providing more parking spaces and better access to Beechwood's front doors. The location of the doors would stay the same, but a (Continued on page 5) □ This architectural rendering shows how Beechwood would appear as viewed from Third Street once the renovation is completed. \r\nPage 2 THE HOOSIER FIJI Spring 1985 President's Message Zeta Year Productive chapter now boasts a record of an overall grade point average of 3.00 or better for 26 years!

Some recent changes in our rush program should help our brothers attain the results to which we're committed. The biggest change is in the development of our rush team. receive bids, and the phone calls Instead of the traditional one-man will continue into the summer. host, three members of our house These calls will be made not on are now attending to each rushee. Another change concerns the follow-up procedure for rushees who receive bids. They will now be called two weeks after they ly by our rush chairmen but by brothers who live in the rushees' hometowns as well. These changes are getting the entire house involved in this vital enterprise and are providing for Freshman Project Duel Effort Fiji freshmen are continuing the tradition of service at Phi Gam ma Delta, both in the community and at the chapter's house. The Fiji pledge class of 1984-85 earned more than $500 this fall in its first philanthropic project of the year. The freshmen set up ex hibits for an antique show that was held at Bloomington South High School in Bloomington, Indiana. Their day-long efforts resulted in a $500 check that was donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The enterprising pledges earned money through tips from antique show vendors, community contributions and a major donation by the Bloomington Historical Society. The new initiates expanded their dedication to service by improv ing our chapter's house as well. The freshmen wielded paint brushes for days as they worked to spruce up the house's hallways, dining room, stairwells, bathrooms and the parking lot's basketball goals. Their timely touchups helped our house present a good appearance during rush, and the chapter sincerely appreciates their efforts. The 1984-85 pledge class is an outstanding example of Fiji spirit; its members were recently initiated into the brotherhood of Phi Gam ma Delta, and each one is a welcome addition to our fold. Kudos go to our new brothers, for both their attitudes and accomplishments. BEECHWOOD TO BE RENOVATED, Continued from page 1 vestibule would be added. Other benefits to building this addition would include adding more space to the Chapter Room at its current location and constructing a one-story library where the outdoor patio currently exists. The study's second recommendation is to build a grand open stair way between the first and ground floors where the Fiji Room now exists. The third recommendation involves a room that is dear to every Fiji's heart; the kitchen. The existing kitchen would be converted into more room for the dining area, while a new kitchen would be built in space that's currently open at the north end of the ground floor. The plan also includes an addition to the west end of Beechwood over the current driveway. Minor remodeling chores throughout the house would also be incorporated into the plan as the need arises. We are enthusiastic about the proposed changes. But the hard part is just beginning. Funds have to be raised before construction can begin. To offer your suggestions, please call the chapter's house. more contact between our broth ers and rushees.

To further that aim, rush chair men Detherage and Senese have set two goals; to draw a pledge class of between 30 to 35 mem bers to replace this year's gradu ating class and to have all bid cards signed by June 1. Our first two rush weekends have gotten us off to a good start in reaching these goals. Our third rush weekend will include some thing special; Michael Gordon, dean of students at lU, will be ad dressing rushees during the weekend's activities. With all of our efforts, Zeta Chapter is looking forward to yet another successful rush! \r\nFiji Graduate News Briefs Todd W. Crawford '55 Todd parlayed 27 years of ser Francis E.
