Kaplan '95, Chapter President Thespring semester has brought By Jonathan Bernstein '94 about some marked changes at 35 STAR Chairman Williams Drive. A new cabinet has Theentire Phi Gamma Delta com munity lost a brother and dear friend on Christmas 1993, with the passingof the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale '20. Brother Peale passed away at his home in Pawling, N.Y., after having suffered a strcJce. He was 95. Brother Peale,the 1992 Ohio Wesleyan graduation keynote speaker, was best known for his 1952 best selling book. The PowerofPositive Thinking. It is the second best-selling spiritual book of all time, trailing only the Bible. The Reverend authored over 40 books stepped in to try to match the quality job that the previous one did. We have identified a few major objectives to accomplish while in office. They include continued scholastic success, improved image among the community and campus and, finally, continued com munication with our graduate brothers. Our graduate brothers have been, and always will be, a crucial part of this fraternity. We preach to the freshman men how important they are to us in rush tours. Testament of their dedication on religion, spirituality, and the attributes of positive mind set. In a statement delivered soon after Brother Peale's passing. President to this house shined through during msh this year. A group of about 15 graduate brothers, including George Sternad '48, Bill Clinton described the Reverend as "an who flew in from Connecticut to be with optimist, who believed that whatever the antagonisms and complexities ofmodem life us, joined the undergraduate brothers for a delicious Italian dinner Thursday night of msh week. They also gave some brought us, that anyone could prevail by approaching lifewith a simple sense of f^th." Brother Peale has been recognized by the fraternity on many occasions, and in 1982 he was presented the Distinguished Service Award byOhioWesleyan University. ITiis award is the greatest accolade given by the university. Brother Peale will be sorely missed by all of his Phi Gamma Delta Brothers. inspiring words to the freshmen about what Phi Gam meant to them. We intend, through continued communi cations, to stay in close contact with our graduate brothers. One of the most imp)ortant aspects of life here at Ohio Wesleyan is scholastics. I am proud to say that Phi Gamma Delta had a jump in overall GPA ofover .2 points. We are very happy with what we accomplished, yet we are not complacent. We are striving this semester to beat last semester's grades and move up even further in the scholasticstandings, for the fraternity and for ourselves. It isalso mypleasure to announce that Greek males, for the first time in 20 years, had a higher overall GPA than non-Greek males. Obviously, the fraternity system here at OWU is headed in the right direction. The image that our house portrays to thecampus as well as the community of Delaware isvery importantto us. We are trying to increase exposure of the house to organizations and fraternities that we don't normally associate with. Along with that, the house has enrolled in the Adopt-A- Highway program through the Department ofTransportation. We clean a stretch of highway four times a year. And of course, the brothers are looking forward to our annual Edyth Betts Run for Cancer. This year a flyer was sent out to all Theta Deuteron graduate brothers in hopes of increasing our total. This has been an exciting first few months for the new cabinet and for me. Between rush and scholastics, we have been very busy. 1 am extremely excited for the Ufxoming year and hope that it is even more f™itful than years past. A Historic Journey By J.

Adding to the rejuvenation of the house, was the fact that the brothers were able to raise the house CPA from 2.42 to 2.64. The relentiess work ofthe schcJarship committee and the constant emphasis on grades in the chapter room provided the brothers with the needed "push" for achieving better semester for Phi Gamma Delta and for the marks. Recently, we have extensively upniated and reorganized our academic files committee feels that the successful semester and are in the process of transferring them to computer disk.

Once our study is concluded, we plan to ask William R Miller, the fraternity ritualist, for his every case their weekend visits have turned into week-long reunions. The under graduate brothers as always were sad to see them leave us once again; however, we all look forward to seeing more of our graduate brothers throughout the year. Though long and involved, the brothers were impressed with the ritual and commented many times on their interest in opinion and assistance. Post-initiate training is also going well.

A Historic Journey From Page I would prove to be the day that inspired this writer. We were on our way back to OWU when we felt a pull at the wheel and there was a flash — I believe it was a purple flash — and before we knew it, we were there, the Fiji log cabin. OK, it wasn't that easy to get there, but after a little assistance from a guy named Joe, who owned the local fniit stand, we found it. At first we were a bit apprehensive, as if we were meeting the immortal six themselves, but we "pressed on" and managed to snap off a few shots before sundown. For those of you Phi Gams out there who have yet to experience this, I implore you to Pete Blackwood '96 and Harry Schusterov '96 make the trip to the cabin. Not AT THE Historic "Log Cabin" en Canonsburg, Pa. only is it a chance to see where it all began, it is a chance to strengthen the already tight bonds between an individual and the fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta.

As the all-school Greek disqualification were accepted as social members.

Of the 240 freshman men, half Among the 1994 pledges are three legacies: David Dixon, brother of Jonathan registered for rush activities and only 108 followed through by pledging one of the 10 IFC-recognized fraternities. Hibbits; and Derek Dickeywhose father James, uncle Jerald, and two brothers Dave On pledge day, January 22, nine young men who received bids from Theta Deuteron accepted the honor of pledgeship. In addition, seven men who were not eligible for rush due to grade Dixon; Robert Hibbits, son of James and Doug are all Phi Gams. It is nice to see the close bonds of fraternal family that we allcherish complemented and strengthened by the ties of actual family. The undergraduate brothers of Theta Deuteron are very pleased with the composition of their 1994 pledge class and expect great accomplishments in leadership and service to our fraternity in the future. 1994 Theta Deuteron Pledge Class Matthew Coltig • Willits, Calif.

The New Yorkers were engulfed in the nastiest mayoral race in 20 years, as the Ohio faithful were anticipating a trip to the Rose Bowl for their Buckeyes. Round table discussions were held in the Fiji room to come up with a solution to the built-up tension. The solution was quite simple. West." Certainly Brother Dohertywas correct.

Perhaps Eastern special team specialist Pete Mmogue '95 put it bestwhen he said, "I that the bonecrushing hit of the game came on a third-and-one play as Newman tried to go up the middle. The tackle was provided by John McGuire '94 who, when asked to comment, simplystated, "He (Steve) ismy pledge brother." Well stated John. The second half progressed slowly, as swear I could have heard the voice of Mike Mohr '94 used his rugby tactics to there would be a battle on the grid iron: Woody Hayes in the wind."

After a Holt Naff'94 interception, Gaetano called the Hook and Ladder. He rolled out to the right, fired a tight spiral to Ken Wolff'94, who immediately (and I must say modestly) flipped the ball to Jon Bernstein '94 who was trailing the play and who easily scored.

Intramural Chairman SteveVitale '96 gave an emotional speech during a chapter meeting that brought the adrenalin ofall Phi Gams to a level not matched since the water main burst in the campus center. Brother Vitale's "call to arms" focused around the sp>orts ofsoccer and basketball. To this date the indoor soccer team, led by captain Steve Newman '94, has a winning record of 1-0. The Fiji soccer squad has won the intramural indoor Theta Deuteron. The offense, spearheaded by Steve Vital '96 and Steve Newman '94, filled the opposition's net 10 times, cruising to decisive victory. Another strong aspect of this year's squad is that the majority of the team is composed of underclassmen and should only get stronger as the season progresses. The Fiji hoopsters have not enjoyed the overwhelming success that the soccer Will.

Athletic Excellence at Theta Deuteron ByW. Holt Naff'94 Maintaining tradition has always been an absolute at Phi Gam. This year we will continue the excellence in varsity sports. Theta Deuteron fields six varsity team members to the OWU spKjrts rookies seen in the last four years. Junior pledge Matt Colvig is a three-year letterman and may be next year's captain.

These men are current and future leaders in the varsity athletic endeavors they pursue. The men's swimming team has been blessed with the presence of one Fiji brother and twopledges. All three competed for the nationals at Oberlin College. Senior brother Jon Dixon, who won All-Ohio honors in high school, is swimming for his second and final season. Before we move on to the track and AAU championships, as well as placing third in the cross-country event in States. Here at OWU Travis won the 800 meters in his first meet ever and is ranked among the top five freshmen in the NCAC.

Sophomore brother Mike Nagro and freshman pledge Travis Waddell represent the strong future of Phi Gam participation Senior Brother Noah Robertson is a four-year letterman for the varsity lacrosse team and takes on the role of this year's captain. Noah tallied a total of 33 points last season, including 24 goals as a middy, and captured an All NCAC position. Noah was one of the deciding factors in the Jon, who humbly considers himself a on the OWU men's track team. Mike, a team's journey to the 1992 NCAA consistent scorer on the team, uses the seasoned javelin competitor, has proven his versatility by also picking up the discus this Division 111 championships.

With the parting of seven graduating seniors at the close of the commended for their accomplishments won the distinction of AU-Ohio honors in season, Mike will most likely be placed in one of the top three spiots on the team. Travis has already made it apparent that he means nothing but business with the track team. As a high school senior, he won the leadership qualities he has gained through his Phi Gam experience to lead his high school and has some big shoes to fill. Dave, who is one second off the National qualifying time as a freestyle sprinter, has the potential of earning Ail-American status if the chips fall as they should.
