TIGER FIJI DePauw University "Not for college days alone" Phi Gamma Delta, DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana Dear Brothers, Greetings from DePauw! As the new Chapter President I thought I would introduce myself. I am a senior from Winnetka, Illinois. Last year I spent a semester in Los Angeles going to Paramedic School near Inglewood. I have had quite a bit of experience with Phi Gamma Delta; serving as Chapter Treasurer for the two past years. I am extremely excited and am looking forward to the upcoming year. Lambda must prepare itself for the future. The Phi Gamm national motto is "The Quest for Excellence," and we intend to fulfill this goal. On those lines we plan to stress brotherhood and strengthen both our academic and intramural standing on campus. Efficiency is a prime objective for Fiji this year. The most important aspect is in our financial obligations. We need these to be promptly met, so that we may be better able to effectively manage our affairs. And lastly, we have begun totally revamping our in-house committee structure. We have incorporated new innovative ideas with the rich heritage of the past. I would like to integrate the graduates into the daily lives of Lambda Chapter. We desperately need your help! Perhaps the best way to achieve this would be for all of you to join us here on April 22 for the 1989 Phi Gamma Delta Norris Pig Dinner. Being on the same day as Little 500, we hope everyone can make it for a great day. It should be fun, but more importantly it will provide a forum for your ideas. (continued page 2) Fiji Shifts Into High Gear For Little 500 Little 500. Every year this bicycle race raises the adrenalin of DePauw's campus, and every year Fiji leads the way. This year's contest involves Fijis in all areas. Greg Morical ('90) is co-Rules chairman. A judge last year, Greg will head the pan.el of judges th!s y~ar to insure a safe and fair race. Marc Rile ('91) is co-Timing chairman, following m the footsteps of brother Tom Lewis ('88) who last year revitalized the timing system by turning it into a computer operated format. Newly initiated member Greg Shapleigh ('90) is a veteran member of the riders' adviso~ board, keeping track of any questions the riders have concerning the race. Shapleigh, who rode the race last year for Mason Hall, is one of the top 200 professional riders in the nation; he will be a great asset to the team. Chris Gilbert ('91) will announce both the men's and women's races for the second. consecutive year. It will be his voice which will proudly proclaim Fiji champion on race day. Shapleigh and second-year rider John Kneisley ('91) head the team itself, with several other brothers in hot contention for the remaining two spots. All in all, Phi Gamma Delta leads the charge for the checkered flag on race day, April 22. Time Trials are in early April. GO FIJI!!! A team determined to bring the traphy home.

As far as I am concerned, the most Perge important element of my position is relating to you, the graduate brothers. In the past our efforts have been insuffident in this area; it is time for change.

With the new dorm for freshman men and the accompanying rush changes, our chapter cohesion will face challenges which must be tackled head on.

One of the highlights was Drew Hoffman's victory in racquetball. Drew placed first in second singles with a dramatic 3 game win in the finals. Mark Willmert also did very well, making it to the semi-finals in third singles. The basketball team finished with its best record in over 5 years. After starting off 0-2 with lo.seslo the..exentual champions and runner-up, the Garns finished the remaining 6 games with 5 wins to wind up with a very strong 5-3 record and an impressive fourth place finish. The team was led by seniors Vic Lewis and Thai Pham along with sophomores John Kneisley, Bill Bachand freshman Jake Riffer to round out a very strong starting 5. The Fiji swim team once again was a force to be reckoned with. Jason Erb and Brian Thornburg each had two first place finishes in two events to lead us to a second place finish, missing the championship by just 1 point! Volleyball was led by captains Chris Gilbert and Rob Johnson. These two played key roles as spikers for the team which once again had a very good year, but who unfortunately just missed the playoffs. Soccer is currently underway and Lambda is off to a 5-0 start including a 1-0 victory over Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the champions for the past two years. We are on our way to the title and we will settle for nothing less. Pride and determination will make it happen! Bill Bach IM Chairman Brother Bill McGaughey, '35 would welcome letters from any brothers of the 1928-40 period. He has recently launched a "communication exchange" by and for brothers willing to report their news and offer their comments. The new project, a successor to Fiji Mail Drop, edited by McGaughey from 1986-88, is known as HOOTS FROM THE OWL and is embellished with the Fiji crest. He plans to issue HOOT about four times a year, initially at no cost to contributor, but eventually accepting money for postage and handling. Those interested in participating should write to William H . McGaughey, P.O. Box 244, Milford, PA 18337. Graduates, The most important events of this semester coincide on the same day. Little 500 and Pig Dinner will be held on April 22nd. This year we are planning many events for the graduates participation. We will have a volleyball tournament, Euchre tournament, a "real" pig roast held in the backyard, and of course the Little 500 race. I encourage you to get back to me as soon as possible so we can get an idea of what you would like to do.

Gregory Morical Scott Richards Gregory Shapleigh Mike Musgrave "Lambda Philanthropies - 1 down 2 to go" Brothers, Lambda Social Service is looking strong this semester. An amazing three philanthropies have been slated with one nearing completion. The first of these projects, a clothing drive to benefit Goodwill, has been quite successful. Brothers have already collected hundreds of clothes from the Greencastle community at large. More donations of clothing are expected to pile in. The second of these philanthropies will be an Easter Egg Hunt held on March 26, Easter-Sunday at the Greencastle-Ghristian-Chur-eh. Children between the ages of 2 and 6 are expected to participate. This project will help Lambda's relations with the community churches not to mention the thrill it will bring the brothers from working with the toddlers. This semester Social Service concludes with our annual Fiji Isle Philanthropy. Many ideas for this have been suggested but none have been finalized as of yet. All proceeds will benefit Putnam County Operation Life. This will follow up last year's donation of $2,500. With these three projects we will be benefiting all ages of the community and if the other two philanthropies are as successful as the first, Lambda will be walking tall in Greeencastle.
