Ekklesia: Award Winning Session for Chi Mu
Last year, Chi Mu did not receive
recognition at the 17th Fiji Academy
for any of the International
Fraternity's awards. This year was a
different story.
At the 134th Maple Leaf Ekklesia in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Chi Mu
placed second in the Condon Cup for
most improved chapter and third in
the Coon Plaque for best graduate
newsletter. The chapter placed third
in the Owen Cup for most improved
scholarship and received honorable
mention in the Jordon Bowl for best
scholarship. Chi Mu also collected a
certificate for being above the all men's
grade point average for one year.
Besides those awards, Chi Mu was
privileged to have one of its brothers
selected as a new Archon Councilor
of the Fraternity. He's Robert L. Albin

Salesmasters. Brother Albin, 42, is

Two major goals in about anyone's
life are financial success and a happy
family life. Too often the pursuit of
one means the neglect of the other.
However, Brother Terry Flood, '71 has
accomplished both. He believes,
"they are the two things you just
have to go for in life." Terry has
attained these and more in the 11
years since graduating from Mizzou.
Brother Flood began his pursuit of
financial success after finishing
college. Having spent four years
majoring in pre-veterinary medicine,
Terry found himself on a waiting list

regrets concerning his decision. The
going was tough at first, but if I had it
to do all over again, I wouldn't do a

When asked what his secret to a
happy family life was, he said, "I
don't know that I have that answer.
Basically, it's just sincerity, honest
and dedication."
That same sincerity and dedication
shows in Terry's fraternal experience.
He sees the friends he has made to
be the highlight of the fraternity.
Since graduation, Terry has kept in
constant contact with 12 to 15 other

eager pledges turned up at ttie
portals of Ptii Gamma Delta, as the
house was preparing for the
oncoming semester.
This year's pledge class consists of
one junior, two sophomores and 28
freshmen. Three of the pledges, J.W.
Vann '86, Kenny Fairfax '86 and Rob
Cichy '86 are attending Missouri on
the Curator's and Chancellor's
scholarships, respectively. Mike
Miller '86 is already a writer for the
maneater and four other pledges have
become involved in student
government.
The pledge class of '86 also brings
with them many fine athletes. Larry
Emerson '86 was rewarded with a
position on the All-State and
All-American high school football
teams as a defensive tackle. Paul
Mackin '85 also excelled in high
school football. He made the
All-Conference team as a quarterback
and Sean Walsh '84 was voted most
valuable golfer on his high school
team.
This year has added to the Phi
Gams a group of fine young men who
look as if they will contribute
positively to the chapter. As Kevin
Henning '84, pledge educator stated,
"Already the pledge class has shown
themselves to be dependable, and
above all, gentlemen."
The active cnapter at Chi Mu plans
to take special advantage of
Columbia's new restaurant. We are
already working on this spring's Fiji
Island party. Possible plans for the
Fiji Island restaurant to cater our
party are in the making. Tiki lamps
and traditional Fiji Island decor is the
ideal setting for a large outdoor
dinner catered by the chefs of Fiji
Island. The restaurant has always
been a favorite for many past Island
parties.
Both new owners are involved with
the University of Missouri. Yue
graduated in 1976 with a business
degree. He remembers enjoying the
Fiji Island celebrations of the
mid-seventies. Tau is now getting his
masters in chemical engineering at
M.U. The partners feel that the
success of their restaurant is due to
the large business from students.
The students in Columbia get more
privileges at Fiji Island than any other
restaurant of its price range. For
instance on Sunday nights,
fraternities and sororities can get 15
percent off of an all-you-can-eat
dinner. The price is only $5 for a
delicious five-course Polynesian

meal.
The restaurant offers catering and
frequent discounts to students
wearing greek letters. They also have
convenient group rates for large
parties. These are great for football
weekends or formal dances. Overall,
the prices range from $4.25 to $11.50
which is very reasonable for today's
budgeted student.

the physical improvements had no direct effect
on our performance, it did provide an incentive
for progress.
Improvement is a continuous process requiring

disappointing tie for third

something much more important; interest and

In retrospect, that was a greater victory. Not a

graduate didn't compliment John or someone
else on the quality of the newsletter.

As this year's editor, my staff and I plan
