Third St., Bloomington, Indiana 47401 Seniors Graduate with Honors Two of Zeta's graduating seniors were awarded top honors by the univer sity and the house. Rob MacGill, Indi anapolis, and Woody Wade, Evansville, have amassed academic and service records rarely matched on campus, and were recognized by I.U. officials and the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta. Rob served the house as Rush Chair man and then as President, yet his grades never suffered. A finance major, Rob was elected to Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honorary. He headed the Fiji cabinet, and also served the University as President of the Student Recreational Sports Association, where his efforts were directed in making the "Spirit of Sports All-Nighter" a success. His work earned him the coveted Elvis J. Stahr Award, which is given annually to five I.U. seniors. Shortly thereafter, the men of Zeta Chapter nominated him as our candidate for the Wilkinson Outstand ing Senior Award, to be awarded at the Ekklesia this summer. Rob plans to enter I.U. Law School in Indianapolis in the fall. A German major. Woody had the rare opportunity to study his sophomore year at the University of Hamburg, West Germany. Upon his return his junior year, Woody lost no time in becoming deeply involved in house and campus activities. He headed up the Social Ser vice Committee for the house, bringing back the first Baker Cup Recognition to Zeta in nearly ten years. He served as Corresponding Secretary in Rob MacGill's cabinet, and later chaired the house J-Board. On campus. Woody was a member of I.U. Sing Steering Commit tee two years in a row, where he cowrote all the comedy material for the emcees. During his senior year, he was Editor's Note: My involvement with the Hoosier Fiji has been a totally enjoyable ex perience over the past two years but nothing involved with this publication has given me as much pleasure and pride as compiling and organizing this issue. Our normal procedure is to publish three issues during a school year but it became evident early this semester that this year was going to be something special so we decided to change our format and publish a year end wrap up. This issue represents that wrap up; a capsule summary of some of the major achievements for Zeta this year. It also represents the achievement of many house goals. This year rivals those great Fiji years of 1956 and 1970 and I thought it needed a little celebration. In my efforts to complete this issue it became evident to me of just how strong Zeta is and will continue to be! Our successes in intramurals, in campus leadership, and in scholarship are proud accolades thatevery bro ther shares because he knows he was essential in reaching that goal. Suc cess is a long standing tradition at Zeta and this year had been a bumper crop. But the thing that makes this achievement so special to my mind is the manner in which it was accomplished. This has been a team effort from start to finish. We were down in intra murals but fought back to win by the largest margin in the four year sweep. Scholarship slipped ever so slightly last semester but through increased house emphasis should be up again this semester. The bike and regatta teams both showed the true spirit of teamwork in their tremendous efforts. Zeta doesn't just place people in scattered positions on campus,she inun dates them. Through this year the house feeling and spirit have been fabu lous. It is totally gratifying to see our efforts rewarded as they have been. Zeta is in high gear and will remain that way. We have reached one set of goals and now it is time to reassess our position and redefine our goals so we will maintain our standards of excellence. With the current senior and junior leadership, and the sophomore and freshman enthusiasm available at Zeta, next year will overshadow even this year's marvelous achievements. I would like to personally invite every graduate brother down to share this excitement next year. Revive some of your college memories by shar ing our successes with us. There are football weekends. Graduate Casino night, and Pig Dinner, but don't feel you needaspecial nightto come down. Come and see firsthand what you've been supporting these years since you graduated. If you can't come down please write and tell us what you have been doing and where you are. We will then be able to share this with all of your brothers. We look forward to seeing and hearing from you. You are welcome any time.

Coached by Sandy Kunkel and Jeff Tuna Jones, the team of Jeff Fettig, Tom Tharp, John Ohnemus, and Tom Back off had an impressive showing but fell just a second short of first place. The weather was raining and cold but that didn't stop the team from powering their way to the top. Helped by a foul on an opponent early in one of the heats, the Fijis powered past all opponents to reach the finals. The last heat was very close but it was not to be for the purple and white. With the second place finish in this year's race the Fiji domination of regatta is still obvious. Our record over the past years is first 5 of the last 8 years, two This year was supposed to be a grow ing year for the Fiji bike team. With only two returning riders the track odds-mak ers had the Fijis written off. Only those who are truly familiar with the race real tournament. This is the second year in a row that a Fiji team has finished second, as last year's "B"team showed its ability in reaching the finals. This year's "A" team was a mixture of experience and youth. The experience was provided by Steve Merrick, a senior, and juniors Jim Stanbrough and Brock Gordon, who played on the "B"team last year. The team still lacked two things, a big man, and a floor general, so two members of the freshman class were re cruited, John Rapp and Tim Wiley. John, being 6'7", and Tim 5'8", both filled their roles perfectly and played well all year long. The season started out by crushing in succession the Phi Psis, Betas, Delts, up a good fight, only losing by 1 point. seconds and one third. This is a record that the house and the team can be Then, the "A's" beat the Kappa Sigs and Sigma Nus before running into our own proud of. We are proud of the job they did and the way they did it, and Acacias, although the Acacias put "0" team. All three of our upperclass teams won their divisions, which no fra ternity has done in many years, so we played each other in the playoffs. Both the "C's" and the "B's" were defeated by 11 points. The "A" team then defeated Alpha Phi Alpha for the All-Fraternity title, before losing to Cooley High, the defending champs 58-50. The entire team will be back next year, except for Sandy, and we are look ing for great things from this talented team. With all the talent and experience they are going to be an unbeatable com bination.

Brother Harris was born in Bloom- ington, IN and earned both his bach elors and masters at Indiana. He went on to become an Instructor of jour nalism and public affairs at UCLA Evans, Indianapolis, Kevin King, Colum bus, Peter Turk, LaPorte, Perry Fogelsong, Noblesville. They were coached by the most capable man on the track— senior Jay Allardt from Muncie. He was assisted by senior Jeff Schwartz from Normal, III. and head Mechanic Rick Keck from Mount Vernon. An early qualifying spot and inex perience put our team deep in the pack at 26. This only strengthened the team's resolve to prove how good they were. When race day arrived they were ready! Determined to get out front quick and avoid the problems of the pack, brothers Needham, King, Evans, and Turk sprinted toward the lead. After a short period, the team had captured the lead, only to be met with another hurdle in their quest for victory. A hobbled ex change once again left them trailing the initial sprint began to tell and eventually the pack had lapped the team. But a three-week energy recess that had al lowed only 13 days of track time was causing an abnormal amount of acci dents and soon only four teams were left in the group that had lapped the pack. With approximately 30 laps to go the team tried one more attempt to capture the coveted 1st place cup. They at tempted a series of sprints to catch the pack but it was not to be. On lap 199 our team had 5th place locked up (which was a new Dixie Highway record) then fate stepped in once more. This time with disastrous results. Mark Needham was on the bike when a rider went down from 1929 to 1949. He was also chief editorial writer for the Times from '45 at the start/finish line right in front of to '49. He served UCLA as a professor down also. Brother Turk grabbed a bike and was able to sprint to the finish—in 9th place. Brother Needham suffered a broken clavicle and sprained wrist. The 9th place finish enabled the Fiji team to capture the Dixie Highway of journalism from 1950 to 1960 and ^, e'': This year's team consisted of 6 riders—senior Mark Needham, Ft.

He could not avoid him and went award—which is awarded to the team whose finishing place shows the most Improvement over their qualifying spot.

This season marked the first time in history that any one team captured the all-campus intramural title 4 con secutive years. It was truly a proud day for Zeta when co-manager Jim Stanbrough announced that we had reached our goal. This is what made us proudest. To win intramuralsfourtimes wasagoal that the house set for itself two years Awards Brunch Honors Brothers' Achievements The energy crunch earlier this winter caused Indiana University to close shop for three weeks. This was an excellent break for the men of Zeta, as most re laxed under the suns, but it destroyed our schedule for the remaining days. One of the many victims of this schedul ing was Zeta's annual Norris Pig Dinner. To replace the pig dinner, Zeta had a graduate brunch on Sunday afternoon to honor some of the brothers who had one of Zeta's highest accolades. Woody is truly deserving of this honor. Woody has been responsible for many of Beechwood's successes and he is truly an example of what it means to be a Fiji. We wish brother Wade the best of luck at Harvard and in the rest of his under takings. Outstanding Alumni Brother Richard Keck was awarded Outstanding Fresfiman Perry Foglesong, Noblesville. As a freshman Perry rode as an alternate on the outstanding alumni for 1978. Brother Keck has served the house long and well as a member of the house corporation board. He is the driving force behind many of the things that get done to Beechwood. He is highly respected and ago, after winning it twice. It has been a the Fiji bike team.

Brother Keck is from Mount Ver- leader in his pledge class. non and currently has a son at Zeta, Rich. We would once again like to thank that has never been done before. The traveling trophy, which will now be re tired to reside permanently in our trophy case, will be a shining reminder of what true Fiji effort can bring. Every brother is proud of the trophy because it repre sents a team victory, each brother par ticipated in an integral way to reach this achievement. Some gave their athletic skills, some gave their support and still others gave their organizing ability to produce this great achievement. Special thanks go to brothers Jim Stanbrough, Dan Reno, and Steve Merrick, their efforts as intramural chairmen were the constant guiding force behind the efforts of the brothers that drove us to victory. Without their leadership both on the court and off our task would have been much more difficult. The tasks of repeating the superior job of these men is now left in the capable hands of bro thers Nick Cress and Tom Backoff. We know they will do the same kind of job shown outstanding contributions to Zeta. The recipients of the awards were: Porky Pig Award Jeff 'Adolph' Schwartz—Normal, III. This honor is awarded to the senior who has given the most to that ethereal qual ity known as brotherhood in the eyes of his pledge brothers. It is the most diffi cult to describe but possibly the most respected honor at Zeta. Jeff has been very active in his career at Zeta. He served as Ass. Bike coach this year. He also has been a pledge trainer last year and house manager twice. Jeff has also been very active in Zeta's intramural ef fort on and off the court. But, he will probably be remembered most for his sophomore portrayal (or is that sophomorlc?) of a backstreet hoodlum in the Fiji I.U. Sing production. Seriously, Jeff has been a true leader during his 4 years at Zeta and he will al ways be remembered for the many con tributions he made and the many fine moments he shared. done by the last four years of managers Outstanding Senior and will propel us to the next plateau—a fifth consecutive victory. lected as the outstanding senior; this is PHI GAMMA DELTA 631 E. 3rd BLOOMINGTON, IN 47401 Brother Keckforhisdedication and hard work to make Beechwood safer and more enjoyable to live in.
