The dinner, on February 28th., culminated weekend activity of many Brothers, also attended a very exciting and held the who suc cessful I.U.-Purdue basketball contest. The day began for the graduate brothers with the important meeting of the Lambda Iota Graduate Corporation members and Board of Directors. After an informative Treasurer's Report, Brother Terry Heath, '75, opened the old business by reporting on the limited edition prints of the Chapter House. Heath reported that unsold prints are still available through Brother John O. Coffin, '59. The class of '61 presented a print in memory of Robert M. Woodard, '61. Other old bus iness included discussion on the grand piano and dining room floor. The graduate brothers voted to purchase a Yamaha 5'7" grand piano. A new vinyl asbestos tile floor was decided upon to replace the existing floor. Both of these items were added to the Chapter House by Spring break. These gifts are very much appreciated by the undergraduate brothers. Many young Phi Gams now wish that they had continued taking the piano lessons that their mothers made them take when they were youngsters! The meeting was adjourned after new of ficers and board members were elected for the coming year. After the busy meeting, the Pig Din ner was held at the Trails, north of West Lafayette. After a nice chit-chat happy hour, the brothers were treated to an ex cellent steak dinner. Following dinner, the pledge class of '85 was introduced to the graduates, along with various reports from undergraduate and graduate of ficers. The main speaker for the evening was Archon President Joe Carney. Brother Carney delivered an interesting speech to all brothers in presence. All in all, the Norris Pig Dinner day was a fun time for everyone involved.

"Positive Pledge Program" The 1981-82 school year has seen some major changes in the Lambda lota's pledge program. Hazing, a controversial subject any where is no longer a part of Lambda lota's pledge program. The 1981-82 school year saw some major changes in our pledgeship. Last year a Pledge Pro gram committee was organized. The goal of the committee was to design a con structive program and build good brothers, not good pledges. The program had its rough spots but forward gains been in the past. An example being class unity. No longer are the pledges pushed through punishing line-ups and exercise sessions. Instead the pledges performed projects designed to get them working together as a group; and that promoted leadership. An example being a can drive for the needy that the pledges planned and executed themselves. This was the first year for the new pledge program so it needs much im provement and requires a lot more work on it. However, a major step in fighting were made. An important step was a pos hazing has begun, and the committee is itive change in the attitudes of the broth ready to continue striving for an excellent positive pledge program. ers of Lambda Iota throughout the semester.

Along with our fim-loving Grand Prix partners, the Phi Mus, we started building momentum on Monday for the Silver Anniversary running of the Grand Prix on Saturday. On Monday evening, we brought back memories of the John Belushi movie, "Animal House", with a Toga party. Tuesday evening was the time for our annual Formal Champagne dance. A mini "Fiji Island" party was on the itinerary for Thursday. With the courtyard filled with sand, people run ning aroimd in Hawaiian clothes, and Beach Boys music playing, the house definitely looked and soimded like a beach party. Friday was a mellow day as we all had a cookout at Fort Quiateron south of West Lafayette. Saturday morn ing was the last fire-up for the main event — the race. Gerry Mason ('83) started the race in his hi-performance kart from the 8th position in a field of 33 karts. Gerry was progressing very well when the race was red flagged due to a terrible wreck of another driver who crashed into the re taining waU and flipped up and over a of the race followed with Gerry eventual ly climbing into the lead. However, Gerry's kart had a slight malfimction and he was forced to drop out of the race. However, he finished a respectable 18th in the race. For the third year in a row, Gary Irvin of Irvin's Concrete Products gave us considerable financial support to our Grand Prix entry. Gary is also going to attempt to race in this year's In dianapolis 500 on Memorial Day weekend. Many thanks and much good luck go to Gary. The imdergraduate Phi Gams were not the only ones to have fun on the Grand Prix weekend. Many members and wives of the Phi Gam class of'37 at tended the festivities. Bob Loehr, class of '37, writes us: "In case you are not already aware of it, I wanted to let you know that the Fiji class of '37 was well Lambda Iota made the mad dash to Bloomington last November to Enjoyed By Aii fence into the crowd.

The physical condition of the house was ex cellent, but far more importantly — we were made to feel at home." The Lambda Iota Fiji's defmitely look foward to the class of '37 50th year reunion! Housing Units At Purdue A new alcohol policy took effect January 1, 1982 concerning the pos session and consiunption of alcoholic beverages on the premises of the Uni versity recognized Greek and Co-op hous ing organization. This new policy allows limited possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages, whereas the old policy prohibited such actions in recognized housing imits. Conditions of the new policy include: • Under no circumstances may alcoholic beverages be sold. • Alcoholic beverages may not be available at any event where an ad mission fee is charged. • Alcoholicbeveragesmay not be con sumed outside the house. • Alcoholic beverages and containers for alcoholicbeveragesmany not be displayed outside the house. • Alcoholic beverages may not be pro vided or consiuned at any open event. This policy was formed by staff members of the Dean of Students office and various members of off campus stu dent organizations. The main idea in creating a new policy was to recognize that consumption occurs by underaged students but that students should be educated on the problems of alcohol abuse through some type of new policy. This new policy will hopefully help in limiting the chance of any serious acci dent that may occur due to drinking and also the liability associated with such an accident. Mother's Weekend/ U-SIng Competition Saturday, April 17th was a day that many Mothers and Sons will remember for a long while. This was a day in which the Fiji's competed in the annual U-Sing competition and also danced with their Moms into the wee hours of the night. The day started with a nice luncheon be ing served to the Moms and Sons. After limch, the Fiji's teamed with the Alpha Phi's in the preliminary round of U-Sing. We were well prepared for this event as we had practiced the songs, "Music Makes My Day Seem Right" and "Hello, Young Lovers" for over a month's time. However, the judges somehow did not think we were one of the top eight groups who advanced to the finals held in Elliott Hall of Music on Saturday night. I guess that's the breaks of the game! Following the preliminaries, a dinner was served to the Moms and Sons. Many Moms and Sons then went to watch and listen to the groups in the finals. Following night sing, the real fun began! A very fini party began at the house at 10:00 p.m. and lasted imtil 3 a.m.! With the Alpha Phi's, their Moms, and the Fiji Moms, the Lamsda Iota Fiji's had to be tired from dancing all night! It definitely was a day to remember for everyone. \r\nMay, 1982 Page Three THE BOILERMAKER FIJI Phi Gam Campus Leaders Dear Graduate Brothers, It is never too early to start thinking about our rush program.
