The Chain The Graduate Newsletter of Lambda Omega Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Volume 4, Number 1, May, 1995 THE OPENING WORD AsI was preparing this edition, I became rather intrigued with the question,"Why don't more guys come to the Pig?". This led me to write a long comment that 1 felt was too lengthy to start this issue. Unfortunately for you, the reader, 1 did include it at the end as my FINAL WORD. 1 hope you enjoy this effort. again, the pre-eminent fraternity at Western. Now, we are strong in numbers, finances and administration, and we boast one of the best houses on campus. Moreover, what is the same is the respect for the individual and the unity of the brotherhood. William Gooderham Nelles Drope '85BA '94MBA TIME TO REMEMBER John G. Starzynski REFLECTIONS FROM THE PAST In the spring of 1983, Lambda Omega had just 11 The following are excerpts from the book. Time to Remember, published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, The Riverside Press, Cambridge, 1951. This was kindly submitted by John Curtis in his research of fraternity history. "In my time at Wittenberg College we had four active members. Though we were neither strong in number nor financially nor administratively sound, we were rich with the spirit of friendship and establishment at our school they were Phi Kappa Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta and Alpha Tau brotherhood in Phi Gamma Delta. This was an eclectic Omega and varied group of individuals with the fraternity bringing them together. It was not a collection of preppy clones who dropped in for social events. Everyone had something to offer and whatever that was, it was accepted gratefully and with respect. home telling Papa about the Fraternity and also that these Greeks didn't take Greek, he inquired, naively, national Greek-letter fraternities. In the order of their When, at the end of my freshman year, I was at "What do these Greek letters mean?" For there hadn't been any fraternities at Wittenberg in his time. This spirit was clear to me upon my arrival and it was this sense of belonging that drew me to Phi Gamma Delta. The highlight of my time as an active brother came when 1 was awarded the David Glen Fraser Award at the Pig Dinner in 1985. In a private ceremony, Michael Hagarty and Greg Stoddart passed to me David Glen's International recognition pin. 1 had suffered the loss of my father the previous winter and, although many of the brothers did not know of this, they and the fraternity played a major role in enabling me to deal with my grief. Now, I am as close as ever to the brotherhood at Lambda Omega. The mid-eighties were an exciting time for fraternities and especially our chapter.

PIG DINNER HAPPENINGS The 27th Annual Lambda Omega Norris Pig Dinner was held on Saturday, February 4, 1995. Here are a few of the comments overheard during the day and festivities "Here's my money. Where's the beer?" Alex Wittenberg 'What dinner?' Stan Morantz "After 1 finish this pop (beer), it's Chivas time!" Lynn Campbell " You mean we get dinner after these buns? Oh good, someone's tossing another one over to eat!' Paul Good 1 must insert a correction and apology to the list published in the November, 1994 issue. James M. Higgins was listed as being the pastor of St. Anne's Church in St. Thomas. Letters encouraging his attendance and participation were sent. 1 was advised by Bill Szego after the publication of that edition of the Chain that, in fact, James McCaig Higgins (notably known for the local tradition of pledge These testimonials confirm the fun had by all. Part of the program involved our guest speaker, Gordon Elliott, former Archon and present President of the Canadian Educational Foundation, judging the bun throwing part of the program. After a howitzer shot tumbled a glass of water onto Korlan Buxton's plate of food and a few grenade shots plopped onto other selected brothers' plates, Gord adjudged the fun to be \r\nover. The alternative was no speech. After some thought and deliberation over the choices, the brothers opted for words rather than yeasty turds. Undergrad, Houtan Rafii, was our Master of Ceremonies. He also ran the raffle for Fiji hockey sweaters and Islander shirts. Stan Morantz had taken the original picture of the charter members of the chapter, had it refurbished (if that's what you call it for a picture) and donated the new copy to the house. Matt Dunn gave a moving tribute to the memory of Jonathan Ritchie, who passed away in 1994. Our guest speaker, Gord Elliott, spoke about the Canadian Educational Foundation and how tax- deductible donations can assist the house for improvements, mortgage reduction and scholarships for the undergrads. Bud Mangels gave greetings from Lexington and echoed Cord's appeal for funds. The high excitement of the evening was provided by two events. First of all, Frank Smeenk raised $3,000 for the house for a new computer through ten $300 Educational Foundation donations from - Lynn Campbell, Stan Morantz, Shawn Gilhuly, Barry Mees, Murray Coulter, John Nicholson, Steve Good, Peter Hockin, Frank Smeenk and Mike Lawrance. The second piece of drama was the auction of the pig's head by Lynn Campbell and Bob McCulloch.(1 understand much of the money donated was out of fear of the knife Brother McCulloch had in his sock!) The final tally, after many competing bids, was $1,487 as well as $1.40 in Canadian Tire money. This was not only a new record but it absolutely amazed and impressed our guests from other chapters. It is also the beginning of a war chest to fix the house with products from the Tire. As our regular pig carver. Rick Fellman, was not in attendance, Stan Morantz prevailed upon (read forced), Peter Hockin, to assist chef Peter from the Ramada to cut up our porker. Barry Mees donated a gypsum-carved white owl to the chapter to be kept at all times in the chapter room, only to be brought out Bud Mangels, Executive Director of the U.S. and Canadian Educational Foundations, was also in attendance at the dinner. The Foundation held a day long Eastern Canada meeting during the day. In attendance at the meeting and at the Pig were Norm Dundas (McGill), Ron Glen (Calgary), Bob Boothby (Toronto, also our Section Head), and Western Ontario representatives Frank Smeenk,John Chandler,John Starzynski and Bob McCulloch (hybrid with Toronto) and Foundation President, Gordon Elliott (UBC). All in all, a good time was had by all. The list of this year's grad attendees for any of you who are interested follows.

MICHAEL GORDON WOODS - Woodsie's brother- The lads coasted through the first class and then took a holiday from the course until a cold morning in November. Their fortuitous attendance was the day of the mid-term test. The professor was quite concerned as to who these guys were who appeared in this rather smallish class of 25 to 30 people. Tim pointed out that they usually sat at the back and often moved around so that the prof probably did not notice them. However, they had to write the test for which they had not prepared.

On arrival, the professor explained that he was under a great deal of time pressure and so each \r\nmember of the class could either write a final exam or elect to take their mid-term test mark as their final grade. Need we guess what Tim and Dennis chose? This was, perhaps, the only course at Western that required two classes, one mid-term, no essays, no hooks and no studying to complete.
