At one point 90% of the city was without power - The University stayed on though ... and held classes the next day. The Oglethorpe House - A privately-owned high-rise co-ed dorm - may be bought by the university. No plans yet on who would be housed there. A long-awaited step was finally taken towards build ing a new student center, the legislature this session ap WARREN RAGSDALE proved funds for the first phase of construction. It will be built in the Stegeman Hall parking lot. (Good-bye 500 parking spaces). As spring quarter gets under way at Georgia, Kappa Deuteron prepares itself to continue the excellence the chapter has enjoyed in the past. The fraternity is cur rently in second place in intramurals with a strong spring quarter expected. As defending champions it should be a competive quarter. This past quarter Phi Gamma Delta was again number one in scholarship, en suring the IFC scholarship trophy to the Fiji's for the eighth consecutive year. This scholastic achievement is something we can all point to with pride. Socially the fraternity is thriving. We have four socials this quarter and some fraternity function most every weekend. In addition to expanding the social aspect of the fraternity, we are also growing in the area of com munity service. On April 12, the Fiji's will co-sponsor with Alpha Chi Omega sorority a charity hoedown to benefit Easter Seals society* this project is in addition to our annual pitch in week where the fraternity cleans up Athens roadways and does other service projects for the HOUNDOG HOEDOWN The winsome wahinis from next door at the Alpha Chi Omega house have asked for us to co-sponsor their second annual Houndog Hoedown. This is the Alpha Chi's big service project of the year, with pro ceeds going to Easter Seals. As you know. Phi Gams don't undertake a project without putting 110% effort into it. This hoedown is no exception, as we have written up posters, designed T-shirts, set up marquees, aired radio and television plugs, and advertised in university and local news papers. The event will take place in the little arena at the Coliseum on Thursday, April 12th, with entertain ment provided by Tony Pritchett, a local blue grass band. Admission will be $2.50 for all the beer you can drink and a shot at the door prizes that were do Athens area. I would like to ask if any graduate brothers know of a high school senior that may be coming to the university next year to please write a letter of recommendation or nated by local merchants. We have sent a letter, with information concerning the hoedown, to every fraternity and sorority on call us at the house so we may extend him an invitation campus. Enclosed was an entry form for them to fill to our Native Rush weekend April 20-21. It promises to be a most beneficial weekend. Finally, let me remind The guys will indulge in a pie eating contest, while everyone of the Norris Pig Dinner on April 27-28. For many this is the only time they are able to return to Athens. By having all graduate brothers return Pig Dinner will be a guaranteed success. out if they were interested in the night's competition the gals will compete in a milk chugging contest. All in all, the hoedown should be a good time for everybody. Of course, the best part is that while we are having a good time, we will be helping a worthy cause.

As always, many strange and unusual happenings occured on the trip. Everything from skiing and sightseeing to car wrecks and surgical tricks took place at our gala winter cele bration. The weekend started off with a bang as brother Ray Leake hit a telephone pole, a fire hydrant, a road sign, and about everything else in Franklin, North Carolina. On Friday night, most of the early arrivers enjoyed an inexpensive evening of night skiing. For many of the novica skiiers, this was an event in itself. The non-skiiers enjoyed beer and T.V. in one of the brother's rooms. During the day Saturday, most people either enjoy ed skiing, sightseeing, or resting up for the big night. The brothers were treated to a delicious meal of roast beef and chicken. The "garter ceremony" then got underway with Brother Roger Strauss as M.C. and Brothers Anthony Cook, Mike Quilling, Steve Nail, and Bob Cheeley as judges. After about an hour, the competition came down to three finalists: Donnie Chapman, Neal Simmons, and Allen Tucker. With the help of a surgical mask, rubber gloves, and a stetho scope, Brother Tucker was able to take the prize. After the ceremony, Johnny White and the Elite Band played for the group. In keeping with tradition, pants were lowered at about 10:00. Brother Todd Barnes won the award for the best pair of "boxers." Everyone happily returned to their rooms after the dance to catch a few Z's. All of the brothers returned to Athens Sunday in one piece to reminise about the Winter quarter was both an exciting and frustrating as the Phi Gams clinched both the Basketball and Badmitton titles, yet slipped to 3rd in the running for the Govenors League Trophy for '78-'79. The Basketball team undefeated in regulation play, defeated the Chi Phi's in the championship game by a narrow 2 point margin, in a game marred by poor of ficiating. The FIJI Badmitton team, composed of sin gles players Bob Christopher and Jim Braden, teamed with doubles players Randal Bentley and Walker Campbell to defeat the TKE's and clinch first place. However, the Cake Race, normally a strong point for the FIJI'S, was a disappointment, as the Gams finished fourth. A good team effort allowed the Gams to finish fourth also in weight lifting. Soccer finished with a 1-4-1, near the bottom of the event. Shuffle board was not played this winter, but will be held in the spring. Unfortunately, the FIJI bowling team, which fin ished, undefeated, was given no team points, because of an incident of unsportsmanlike conduct which oc curred with the Sigma Chi Fraternity during a Feb ruary 13th match. As such, the Phi Gams were denied a possible 110 points, which would have placed them in 2nd place, close behind the Chi Psi's. Spring looks good athletically, with Softball, Shuffleboard and Tennis Doubles, FIJI strong points, on the agenda, as well as Archery, Track, Swimming and Diving, Horseshoes, and a new event, "Bulldog push ups". good times of the weekend. CLYDESDALES! On Friday, March 30, at approximately 3:00, the Budweiser's world famous Clydesdale houses pulled their old-time wagon into the parking lot of the Fiji house. There to greet them were about 500 students. It was a beautiful afternoon and social spirits were high. The Budweiser's Clydesdales helped to publicize FijiBudweiser Pitch-In Week, which runs from April 10-12. The Clydesdales are kept by the Anheuser-Busch brew ery and travel all over the country publicizing BiMweiser beer. The Fiji's owe sincere graditude to Leon Farm er owner of the Athens area Budweiser distributorship, who made the entire afternoon a complete success.

In his spare time, Jim teaches water safety for the American Red Cross. Jim has also been exposed as a godfather! — Yes, he is godfather for Sam and Julie Rich wine's new baby girl, Betsy. We look forward to seeing Jim at our annual Pig Dinner on April 27th and 28th. David Brazeal has been elected as the new treasurer relieving Greg Sowell at that post.

Steve will graduate next winter with a B.B.A. in marketing and Donny will be a senior working toward a degree in Real Estate. Roger Strauss is our new Re cording Secretary, taking over for Mike Dendy. Many may remember Roger as the "Unknown Candidate" in the election campaign in the Winter of 1977 - if not for his term as President of the Student Body. Mike is a Public Relations major and will also be a senior next year. Warren Ragsdale, our newly elected President, turns over his former post of Historian to newly elected Steve Poole. Steve is the only non-senior of ficer (a junior) and is a Finance major.

The Fiji's, Danny Anderson, Mike Dendy, Billy Dellinger, and Randall Bentley and the girls partici pated in events including: team frisbee, 880 relay. Round O Bud (a basketball game). Tug of War, vol leyball and an obstacle course. The state championship, in Macon, was held after our annual French Whore Party and in a stead drizzle. But the team overcame the cloudiness, of head and weather, and won two of the six events to claim the vice. The Kappa Deuteron Chapter had an extremely successful year with a fine pledge class and another fine academic average winning the scholarship trophy for the 9th consecutive year. This would not have been possible without the superior leadership of our past officers and their enduring belief in the spirit of all FIJI'S. With the new officers showing sincere dedication to their job already, the future of Kappa Deuteron looks as bright and successful as its excellent past years. championship in competition with 6 other colleges from around the state. After winning the state competition the team, along with Coach Rob Zeyfang, received an all expense paid trip to Tampa to compete in the Regionals. A trip through Bush Gardens and all the beer the team could drink became too big an obstacle to cross and rendered a 5th place finish.(We did however win the partying competition). As usual the Georgia team was sponsored by the Fiji's great friend Leon Farmer who accompanied us on the trip.

The pledges consisted of 15 men from the Zeta Deuteron pledge class, and 1 from the Epsilon Deuteron pledge class. The pledges, from the beginning of their pledge program, showed a great desire to serve the fraternity the best that they knew. Their dedication and hard work paid off that rebruary night, much to their excitement and the brothers who initiated them. The pledges excelled in many ways, and proved to be one of the most diverse groups the fraternity had seen They used their diversity, but found a common The older brothers look forward to this "new blood" that will have input concerning fraternity affairs.
