This past summer, due to Brother Francis E. Wylie s ( and its 28) letter, I became inspired to undertake the reading of the highly acclaimed novel. A small vocabulary such as my own can hardly scrape up the praise for such a work, SO let me borrow some more articulate appraisers…"What Ross Lockridge most desired was to write the great American novel, and in his mammoth RaintI宅e Connり′, he appeared to have succeeded, if greatness could ever be measured by sales volume, book‑Club adoption and a huge deal with MGM for the novel 部mes.一一Novelist‑s Wok And Death Appraised By His Son. s movie rights,一一(Lehmann‑Haupt, Christopher. 7he New 】b庇 一May 2, 1994). Larry Lockridge, a literary critic, teaCher of romantic literature at New Ybrk University and one of Brother Lockridge s sons, just recently put to print a 499 page book which accounts for the success and tragedy of his father s life, entitled Shade Q声he Raintne・ He was cited as saying that Brother Lockridge s book may be ・iThe most ambitious attempt at encycIopedic fom in American literature." This statement was made after comparing it to such novels as Thomas Pynchon‑s G者aviり′ Rainbo明John Barth‑s Sotweed励eto′男Wi11iam Gaddis's Recognitions and Joseph McElroy s VIbmen and Men. On March 6, 1948, about one week after realizing that his book made it to the top of the best seller list, Brother Ross Lockridge Jr. committed suicide in his garage by running his car's tailpipe血ough the window of his car. He was only 33.

This impressive, historically‑based novel allows the reader to expIore the true sense of life as it was during the era. Leaving no stone unturned, Bro血er Ross Lockridge・ Jr. 1eaves the reader with a greater appreciation of our heritage. Needless to say, I gained more insight about our country from this book than any history class at IU has ever tried to teach me. As I neared completing the novel, midway through August it was brought to my attention血at Brother Lockridge's wife Vemie Lockridge Noyes, PaSSed away on August 8th. She was said to be瓜e inspiration for the character Nell in the book. Memorial contributions may be made to the scholarship funds established in honor of Ross Lockridge Jr. and Russell Noyes who was her second husband and a professor of English at IU. B糊 伽搬 Kee匂なり6 Zeta‑s Report From The 146th Ekklesia Zeta chapter sent eight bro血ers to this past summer‑s 146th Ekklesia in Kansas City・ Brothers Kaplan Marshall, Ryan・ Klineman・ Hipskind, Pfafflin, Doonan and Ransom had a wonder餌time meeting brothers from around the country. Zeta was able to bring several innovative ideas back to Indiana. An unprecedented restructuring of the Archonate took place in Kansas City. For瓜e first time in Phi Gamma Delta history undengraduate brothers will serve as Archons" This move was accompanied by s億Ong SxpPOrt throughout tWO and should streng血en Phi Gan血a Delta as an intemational fratemity. Zeta chapter hoped to bring血e coveted Cheney Cup back from Kansas City after having such a successful year at IU. Be∞hwood 丘nished a very respectable third place, following New tbrk University and the University of Wdshington. The undergraduate bro血ers feel very strongly瓜at next year will be血e year to retum the Cheney Cup to Beechwood. We were also recognized for Baker Cup and Brightman廿ophy. Zeta nearly brought home血e Zeman Thophy fbr CamPuS invoIvement but was edged out by血e University of Tennessee. Overall, the 146th Ekklesia was a huge success for the Zeta brothers, and we look to only improve at next summer‑s FIJI Leadership Academy. \r\n藍 均亡C.功融(‑22) 悪夢∴Re聖中軸伽dRe肌拙S叩 ●●● With each letter that we have received from t き ∴塞鱗丁子∴∴∴: ∴∴: rs, the more impressed we find ourselves with Zeta s alumni・ ie (一28).

The tables post血e fo11owing three GPAs for each semester‥ 1) the entire chapter‑s GPA Which includes血e pledge‑s GPA and our rank against the other chapters (roughly 27 over the years); 2) the pledge's GPA, and our rank in accordance to other chapter pledge classes at IU; 3) and the all men's average for the entire university. It is important to note血at the岬ring ple勿e g朋des usua11y consist of two to four pledges who were not initiated after their細I semester. It should be understood that eVen though this table is only for the past 20 semesters, Zeta chapter has been above the all men・s average every year since records have been kept ‑ SOme 35 years!

The two most extensive projects were new ceilings and light fixtures in all the hallways, and the.ther was the expansion of our computer room. The previous computer room was expanded by knocking down the wh亘̀ the serving room (adjacent to the computer room〉 and using that space to spread out the new computers. They weratought last year with a grant from the Beechwood Education Foundation. The bathrooms were given a faceli鮎when new sinks and counter tops were installed. Also, eXtenSive cleaning of the tile in the bathrooms and in the kitche上Were COmPleted this past summer. A new basketball goal was put up in the parking lot, and new grass and bushes調聾e planted in the front of the house to 鴇謹謹書誰蕊講悪霊盤器葦t鎌豊富詑論霊豊罫豊島謂聖霊 2・ x 5'. So we now cook out every Friday night with the entire house, and if any graduate brother is in town for a footba11 game, Or Other event, Please stop by and have dimer with us. Special thanks also goes out to Mel Brewer (一67), Who was responsible for s皿ng down with the kitchen staff and helping raise the quality of food that we are now having.
