Al l was ihese renovations were sorely needed, with only a few minor alterations left to be completed, the new kitchen is already turning out great meals. Renovations will i;ontinue throughout the year on the exterior of the house including; patching the roof, and refabricating the window frames. The Undergraduate Chapter would like to extend its thanks to the house corporation and especially to Glen for their efforts in continuing to make the house a great environment and the cornerstone of this chapter. It was decided to proceed with these renovations because the negotiations with the university and the provincial government regarding moving the chapter house have broken down. It was hoped that the chapter would be provided with an alternative site for the house and some money in compensation for giving up our lease early. The possibility of extending the lease past its expiry in 2007 has also been discussed. Currently these negotiations are not proceeaing. Pig dinner will be a perfect opportunity for everyone to see the improvements that have been made to the house. See you there! James Keyton aptly coordinated by our current house manager, Tim "Boozy" Hopkins, whose efforts have not gone unnoticed. Last November, the pledge class of 1991 organized the "Empty Stocking Run". Donations were collected for the Vancouver Sun's Empty Stocking Fund through a relay run around the city. This project, which enjoy ed immense popularity, will be back again this year and will be managed by Ross Dun lop. The "Cantel Briefchase" took place on October 15 at the Pan Pacific Hotel, and once again the brothers were there helping set up banners, moving boxes, generally lending a hand where they could. All in all, it was a fantastic event and hopefully one which will Fraternally, become a fixture on our calendar.

It looks like it's going to be another super vear for social service and as any good tennis player knows, "service is crucial." Jeff Lindsay \r\nTlie PRESIDENT'S LETfER With only a small percentage of graduating brothers this year, Pi Gamma is poised for one of its strongest years ever. The summer of 1992 saw a great deal of money and effort go toward substantial improvements in our chapter house. Special thanks must be extended to graduate brother Glen Harris and our house manager Tim Hopkins, who put many hours into the coordination of this work. The improved condition of the house has contributed greatly to the positive and enthusiastic attitude of the brothers of JL .1 J.

One of our main goals for the 92-93 school year is to renew the undergraduate chapter's relationship with our graduate brothers. We feel that this goal can be accomplished through events such as "Adopt a Grad" in which a graduate and undergraduate are paired in a big brother/little brother fashion. We also look to reinstate events such as: the grad/undergrad Founder's day golf tournament, barbecue.

The strength of our winning A-Team was a little to much for the canoe and it sank 100m from the finish of their heat. Undaunted the B-Jeam went on to win the finals, beating the nearest competitor by 4 boat lengths. Our success in major events, excellent turnouts to noon runs, and a sporting schedule that encompasses a diversity of activities, from ice hockey to squash, has propelled FIJI sports into first place in the Interfraturnity Council 's point competition. With the enthusiasm of our pledges and a strong active chapter, Fiji sports optimistically looks on to another year of success. Dave Ryan Sports Rep. \r\nPl.JT RU«H !!
