GENERAL FIJI ZETA DEUTERON AT ☆ ☆ WASHINGTON & LEE UNIVERSITY r PRESIDENT'S REPORT Dear Brothers, As we prepare to conclude the academic year and ready ourselves for the departure of our senior class, I must congratulate this strong group of men for their assistance throughout a difficult transitional period for the brotherhood of Zeta Deuteron. They have lived through the tragic death of a fellow Brother and a three year struggle to rebuild the chapter house but their spirits always remained high. Even more importantly, I must acknowledge the financial support ofour house corpora tion under the direction of Edward Bishop, 68, Chip Chew, '68, as well as the rest of the graduate Brothers who have donated their time and funds for the continua tion of our chapter at Washington and Lee. As a result of the last few rebuilding years, we have raised ournumbers back to a total of forty-five members with ten astute Pledges. Our Pledges have gone beyond all expectations in their academic prowess and attained the highest grade point among the Pledges of all the fraternities with a 3.2average. Ourintramurals have come .' SPRING 1987 Stanley Hall, '89 will take charge of Fiji Islands which will be held on April 25. Our initiation is scheduled for May 2 under the direction of Andrew Hermer and Thomas Skeen, both members of the class of '89. Alumni weekend has been organized as the official rededication ceremony and the house corporation has planned numerous festivities for the entire affair. Once again, I urge every graduate Brother to attend the Norris Pig Dinner on Friday, May 8 in order to see the continued efforts of both the undergraduates and the entire legion of our alumni. The eyesof the administration as well as our graduates have been on us for the entire year and I feel that our outlook for the future can only be positive. You, the alumni, have supported us and hopefully by this effort our strength will increase even more in the future. The entire chapter looks forward to seeing you on May 8 and any other time that you may be in Lexington. Fraternally, James Cockey Chapter President Perge! a long way under the leadership of Robert Powley, '88 and we are currently ranked fourth among the Greeks. The concerted efforts of the Brothers in the academic and athletic concentrations have brought us back into favor of the administration. The contractor has completed the entire house and the landscape will be accomplished in the next two weeks thereby providing the finishing touches to a beautiful home which, by the way, has been included in the Women's Garden Club tour in April. From the spiral staircase to the newly completed basement, the house is a gem to lookat and I must urge all thegraduate Brothers to visit Lexington and see the new structure. January 5 marked thereopening of our kitchen andmeals have been superior under the direction of our housemother, Mrs. Vogt. We have enacted a number of new policies this year concerning open parties and drinking and I feel that by taking the initiative in such matters we can only strengthen the entire fraternity system at W&L. As always, spring term will be an eventful time for the entire chapter and the new cabinet under the leadership of Fred LaManna, '90 and a friend \r\nPage 2 Spring 1987 GRADUATE NEWS John R.

Apartment B gained its name, the Dive, in the school year 1981-82when the first group of FIJI'S entered her doors. The name was decided upon because of Apartment B's prehistoric ap pliances, the mouldy shower stall, and the occupant's special relationship with the local cockroaches. Whenold stories of the Dive were being discussed. Dive alumnus Jim Hess stated, "The Dive wasn't that bad." Each suc cessive year since has brought new memories to the Dive. The year of G-bo, Spewee, and Chief can be remembered by toothbrush wars. Plan B, maggots in the sink and total domination of the Style House. This year is the sixth an Jefferson Harralson SENIOR SPOTLIGHT "Excellence Off The Court And On" While tending to academic and fraternity obligations, the Brothers of Zeta Deuteron have always supported athletics at Washington and Lee. Our Brothers help fill the rosters of seven intercollegiate sports at the Univer sity. Now we honor one of ouroest student athletes, senior Jefferson Harralson, who has contributed four years to niversary of FIJI habitation at the Dive and has ushered in a new age at Apartment B. Occupants Phil Dupont, Doug Franzese, and Jamie Gaucher are actuallyconcern ed about the appearance of the Dive. When asked why they wished to be a part of the "FIJI TRADITION Doug replied, "The cushioned toilet seat was a major fac tor" in his decision. Even with a new era at the Dive, some things will never change; the tilted Van Gogh, WRONG CHEESE, and the Dive's reputation as the best "stop" in town. Paul Abbot, '87 the Generals basketball program, while majoring in business administration and holding office in our chapter. Jefferson Harralson, affectionately known as "JBone" because of his tall, skinny build, as a co-captain led the cagers to a 15-9 record including their biggest win of the season over sixteenth-ranked Emory and Henry College. Harralson was the leading scorer and rebounder for the Generals this season, averaging 21 points and 8 rebounds per contest. Harralson also added 50 assists and nearly as many steals while paving his way to a first team All-ODAC selection as well as the Most Valuable Player Award for the Generals. Jefferson will be remembered most for surpassing the 1,000 point mark and becoming Washington and Lee's eleventh all-time scorer. Despite his many personal accomplishments, Har- ralson^^^its^he friends he has made and the enjoyment of the sport as the highlights of his career. This team oriented attitude got him elected as co-captain two straight years. His leadership was also noted in the frater nity as well. Jefferson held the office of treasurer during his junior year. His job was made more difficult by the fact that we had no chapter house in which to work out of. Jefferson has certainly made his mark at Washington and Lee and we are proud to say that he is a FIJI. All of his Brothers wish him good luck and continued suc cess in the future. —Tony Waskiewicz, '89 Brad Preston, '88, Phil Dupont, '89, Joe Zamorano, '88 \r\nOUT-OF-HOUSE SPIRIT Having had time to settle into our new house the Brothers of Phi Gamma Delta are now turning their ef forts toward the many community responsibilities that all fraternities must deal with. Living in a highly residen tial area makes our task a bit more difficult than that of the other fraternities at Washington and Lee. There fore, we must concentrate more on the duty of being con siderate neighbors. In view of this task we are now begin Jim Cotter, '88, Mike McAllister, '87 FIJIs IN SPORTS In 1987, FIJI Brothers continue to display leadership in the Washington and Lee intercollegiate, club, and in tramural athletic programs. Jefferson "J-Bone" Harralson, '87 and Rob "Robbo" Spencer, '87 are two important members of the General's basketball squad. J-Bone is once again cocaptain and a floor leader, and this season scored his 1,000th career point. Robbo, a crowd favorite, provides off-the-bench inspiration for the Generals. Both players were instrumental in W&L's defeat of Emory and Henry, who was ranked I6th in Division III. Representing FIJI on the indoor track team are cocaptain Thomas "Chuke" Murray, '87, Jim Ambrosini, '89, and Jon Sheinberg, '90. Chuke has emerged as one of W&L's premiere shot putters, tossing the shot 48'4" (only 5" short of the school record) to win 1st place in the Lynchburg Relays. Prior to that spectacular throw, Chuke had placed 4th against Division I opponents at the Virginia Military Institute Relays. Jim is also regarded as an excellent thrower and thepairarelooking forward to topping the season off with a 1, 2 finish at the O.D.A.C. finals. Sheinberg has made an impressive ninga plan to offer our time and services to the neighbors by undertaking such endeavors as running simple errands and performing basic cleaning jobs around their yards. These chores are particularly appreciated by our elderly neighbors, and gives the Brothers a chance to meet the residents in our vicinity. The long term goal of this plan is to let our neighbors become acquainted with us and to allow Phi Gamma Delta help make the corner of Jackson and Preston Streets be the best in Lexington. The Brothers also feel that we can offer services to worthy organizations. We propose to hold our annual lOO-inning softball game for the Cancer Society in the spring. Last year's effort raised $250 with most of that coming from donations from the Brothers. This year we feel that we can surpass that mark with pledges from alumni and also from other fraternities on campus. We feel that our Chapter is heading in a positive direc tion by trying to improve community relations Having a Chapter House is something new to our Brothers and Pledges so any ideas that you may have on improving community relations would be welcome .

Yin LaManna, '87, Jim Kelly, '89, Rob Vienneau, '89, and Stew Funkhouser, '88 are not only key players for the W&L Hockey Club, three of them serve as its of ficers. Yin, at center, serves as the Club's president, while Jim plays at wing and performs the duties of treasurer, and Stew also plays at wing while acting as vice-president. The three officers are jointly responsible for organizing a schedule against the opposing teams, choosing team members, purchasing uniforms, and rentingice facilities. The FIJI Brothers have demonstrated a great deal of competitiveness in the intramural program, currently ranking 9th in the standings. The rank should continue to move upward as we enter our two strongest sports. The Brothers are looking forward to retaining our volleyball champion status, as well as winning the cham pionship in basketball.
