Phi Gamma Delta, DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana With beer in hand, Eric Doolittle leads riders and Cams in For the second year in a row, Phi Gamma Delta won the most illustrious trophy at DePauw University, the Little 500 championship trophy. Sporting a pink uniform so bright that if one looked to the sky he would still see FIJI on the track, FIJI led nearly the entire race. After being boxed in at the start, junior Garn Huggins dropped to the back of the pack and then moved to the front along the outside - a move that Paul Stanish used in last years race to open a lead. On the eighth, Garn broke from the pack opening a quarter of a lap lead! After senior Paul Stanish rode, the lead was opened even more. Sophomore Ned Sizer, who won fastest lap average honors with a time of 35.76 seconds, rode next and began to claimin~ FIJI as # 1. lap the slower riders. Freshman, Brian Elson, took off next and continued the pace. Before the sixtieth lap of the 160 lap race, FIJI had lapped the entire field once and some teams several times. The next hundred laps FIJI just continued to ride hard and very fast, finishing the race three and a half laps ahead of second place, Delta Tau Delta. The FIJI fans kept up the encouragement throughout the race despite the large lead, probably remembering the come from behind victory that we so much enjoyed last year. Winning the race was not the only highlight of the event filled week. The sportsmanship showed by FIJI was phenomenal! At the awards presentation, the predominantly FIJI crowd led cheers for A TO and Delt, the second •i •:: •J. ri.: \: Summer 1985 and third place teams. Also, riders and team members were acknowledged for helping the other teams before, during, and after the race. This was by far the greatest accomplishment for all at Phi Garn, because it will improve our relations considerably. We were paired with Alpha Phi for the week and after we painted their sidewalk pink with purple lightning bolts, they returned the favor. Much was pink around Phi Garn that week with the house t-shirts being modelled after the rider's uniforms. We all wore hot pink shirts with the logo: "Lightning never strikes twice in the same place ... . . . or does it?" Just as the celebration party, the awards banquet was crowded and FIJI dominated. Winning the race was one (continued on page 2) Sophomore, Ned Sizer, smiles as FIJI rides away with their second Little 500 victory. -..~ \r\nPage 2 Tiger Fiji Fiji Wins (can't. from p. 1) thing, but winning it the way we did this year is history. Garn Huggins started the award sweep by being honored as most valuable rider. He also just missed fastest lap honors by one tenth of a second, followed closely by Ned Sizer, five hundredths of a second behind Garn. Paul Stanish, Garn, and Ned were all chosen as members of first team all-star. This was quite a feat to have three members of the same team on the first team, but that is FIJI for you! The most surprising statistic is that Ned, Brian, Garn, and Paul finished one through four respectively in the average lap times. This means that there was not a man on the track that could keep up with any of FIJI's riders. We plan to do this again next year as sophomore, Matt Quirk, trained hard this year and will be ready to step into a racing spot to help FIJI retain the trophy. Lightning did strike twice and Phi Gamma Delta Defied Mother Nature. M. Nader Shariff Perge! Summer 1985 Rush Report The 1985 Lambda Rush Express is well on it's way to a much awaited fruitful and productive week of formal rush in August. Since March 1, over 70 rushees have visited Lambda and have not only seen, but experienced the brotherhood and friendship that is ever present within the chapter. As usual our best chance to meet some of the rushees was Little 500 weekend, when 10 young men descended upon Lambda for the weekend. The team's 1st place finish in the race no doubt made a lasting impression on our guests, several of whom are potential spring pledges. Once again we are planning several summer rush parties; one each in Cincinnati and Indianapolis and two in the Chicago area. Through the use of an improved mailing system and a concerted effort on the part of nearby brothers, attendance at the parties should be much improved allowing the rushees to get a better, more complete look at FIJI while at the same time providing brothers the opportunity to become familiar with the rushees before formal rush begins in the fall. As the summer progresses and the express picks up speed, bystanders are advised to jump on by sending any and all recommendations, ideas, or additional comments you may have which will aid us during rush next fall. Fraternally, Joe Short '87 Rush Chairman --------ALUMNI WEEKEND IS JUNE 7, 8, 9 --------- All is pink as THETA & FIJI riders celebrate their astounding victories. REMINDER: These Graduate Questionnaires are very important. Without them the Tiger Fiji is nothing. Please fill them out so we can let your fraternity brothers know of your whereabouts. Thank you.

After winning our second consecutive Little 500 bike race, the chapter's spirit and enthusiasm is at an all time high. The house has capitalized extensively on our victory in the prestigous bike race in such areas as public relations and our relationship with the university. Little 500 also proved to be a very successful rush weekend with over ten young men visiting the chapter. Our rush chairmen, Joe Short and Jim Kemmler, have been doing an outstanding job and we are confident of our success in rush next year. However, if you are aware of any incoming freshman that would be a likely FIJI prospect, please get in touch with Joe Short. Rush, as all of you are aware, is a time when the house must look its very best, but the house is in need of some attention. Additional furniture and physical improvements to the house are needed to insure that the house is in top condition. Any assistance that you could contribute would be deeply appreciated. June 8 and 9 are the dates of Alumn i Weekend. I encourage all graduate brothers and their families to attend. Alumni Weekend is one of the best opportunities to visit the chapter house and to renew old friendships. I would like to thank Brother Harry E. McGoon '31 for his thoughtful donation to the chapter of composites from his years at Lambda. As the end of the school year quickly approaches, the underclassmen come to the realization that the seniors will not be back next fall. The class of 1985 has contributed significantly to the chapter during their four years at Lambda. They will be sincerely missed. The undergraduate chapter wishes the class of 1985 the very best in their future endeavors. ______ __ ._ DEPAUW UNIVERSI1Y GRADUATION MAY25 This veritable shan-gra-la was enjoyed by all at FIJI ISLE '85. Scholarship Update Scholarship at the Phi Garn house underwent a change in the chairmanship following the semester and the election of ex-chairman Mark Sifferlen to house treasurer. The first goal was to build a new library since the old one had been removed durin_g_ "Delta Week". With the help of new initiate, Brian Elson, this task was completed three weeks into the semester. The contribution of carpeting for the new library by Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Holub also helped out in making the Lambda Chapter's library one of the best on campus. The test file grew by thirty-one complete subjects through the efforts of Historian, Ron Dwenger. This summer will begin an intense filing system for the Phi Cam's Scholarship Committee. New files and new ideas are being pumped in as the Fiji House prepares to show the DePauw campus its commitment toward perserverance in the pursuit of scholarship.
