The .0^ Gr F^iJ GFlXIli ^a-ITi ^I^wsletmr Wrm EI'iRp!"!H?ES; Chi Mu Chapter, University of Missouri Vol. XLI, No-2 April,1977 FIJI Island & Rush FIJI Island, on April l6th, isn't just Phi Gamma Delta's "best and biggest party, it's also a major milestone on the long road to a better pledge class, house, and chapter. It is prob ably the most important rush party we hold, and Dan Krones, our Rush Chairman, is working hard to make it the most successful rush party also. Turnout at the Casino Party wasn't as good as we had hoped, and we need to insure that there will be a good one at FIJI Island. Even though it may be too late for the party, please contact Dan if you have a rush prospect. If this letter reaches you after FIJI Island, don't forget rush. We hope to have several rush parties across the state, including two in St. Louis, two in Kansas City, and at least one at the house in Columbia. We'll need places in Kansas City and St. Louis to hold those parties, and we'd like any help you can give us. As always, vf^ need helpI If you know of any bright, sociable, and active young men coming to MU, please tell us. Even if they are already students at the University, we need to know about them. Also, it's not too early to start thinking about rush for '78. Dan can be contacted at the house (442-9515 or 449-1578) or at Mr. Guy's (449-8411). We'll appreciate any help you can give us. Pig Dinner All of us here at Chi Mu hope that you can attend Pig Dinner, which will be held this year on April 23rd. Dinner will be at the Holiday Inn East here in Columbia, and it begins at 7S00 pm. An open bar will be available before and after the dinner. Both you and your wives are invited, and the price will be fifteen dollars per couple or ten dollars if you come by yourself. The featured speaker will be Judge Frank D. Connett, Jr., Chi Mu class of '49, who, as mentioned elsewhere in this newsletter, is beginning his fourth term as Circuit Judge in St. Joseph. We need to know three things before April 23. (1) Are you coming to Pig Dinner? (2) Are you bringing your wife? (3) Would \r\nPage 2 Pig Dinner (continued) you like hotel reservations? Please send this information to: Mark Rackers- Pig Dinner College Columbia, MO 65201 If you have any questions at all, please call Mark at either the house number of (314)^^2-9515 or (314)442-8820. We hope to see you there! Nbws from YOU ARTHUR F. SETTLAGE (*41) has been elected as a director of the Federal Home Loan Bank, located in St. Louis. His travels in this new position take him all over North and South Dakota, Minne sota, Iowa, and Missouri, and will probably (and unfortunately) prevent him from coming to Pig Dinner. FRANK D. CONNETT, JR. (*49) is beginning his foiurth term as Circuit Judge in St. Joseph. He is also the featured speaker for Pig Dinner. He reports that GORDON SHAFFER (*49) has been made an officer in a bank in Schadron, Nebraska, and that RONALD REED (*5^) has just been nominated as U.S. District Attorney for the western district of Missouri by Sen. Thomas Eagleton (D.-Mo.). BAXTER DUNBAR (*54) is now in the insurance business, with an office at 4722 Broadway in Kansas City, Mo. He*s also tinkering around with future energy sources, building a solar collector to either heat his home or swimming pool, which he hopefully lets his neighbor, A. OVERTON DURRETT, JR. (*54) use occasionally. Meanwhile, on the other side of the border, WILLIAM C. lUEN (*69) reports that he is siurrounded by Jayhawks in Overland Park. Fortunately, he's always running into BILL BROWN, C. BROOKS WOOD, GEORGE D. •Buzz" DUNCAN, and STEVE ENGELBERT, all from the class of *69. He and his wife Nancy have a son, Quentin (*97) who will be two in May. His brother MIKE (*76) now lives in Port Arthur, Texas, where he and his brother have exchanged exactly one letter apiece. He's trying to get some of the Kansas City brothers to gether for Pig Dinner. Gee, it's great to get a complement now and then! We'd like to thank JAMES MILLAN ('53), MICHAEL BENDER ('73). and GALEN MUSSMAN (*73) for their complimentary letters, and we'd also like to thank Brothers Millan and Bender for their contributions to this newsletter and the house. Others we'd like to thank are CHARLES McMULLIN ('39), ROBERT GARDNER (*53). and CHRIS GRAHAM ('68) for their hard efforts on behalf of Chi Mu in the past few weeks. The editor would like to apologize to CHRIS GRAHAM and MORRIS J. NUNN ('67) for leaving their names off of the Board of Trustees, and to JOHN H. CARUTHERS ('29) for leaving his name on the list. \r\nPage 3 Lost FIJI'S Because of excessive mailing cosfs for handling unforwardable mail and because of a growing number of lost brothers, national has asked all chapters to make a concerted effort to clear up our lost brother list. We are asking your help in "cnis drive. Below is a list of Chi Mu|s lost brothers. If you know how to get in touch with any of these people, or if the list is in error,we would like to hear from you.

Presently, we rank seventh in the fraternity standings, and hope to better that with the second semester sports left. After a rather disappointing basketball season in which the FIJI team was knocked out of a division title by a one point loss to the Phi Delts, we bounced back to take third place in basketball freethrows. ing. The spring sports that we hope to excel in are soccer and bowl The soccer team, coached by Mark Schnurbusch and currently 1-and-l for the season, is working hard for a playoff spot. The Phi Gam soccer squad graduated only one player and picked up two new prospects. Pledge Mike Manuel and Tim Kiehl are going to \r\nIntramurals Icontinued) Page 7 round off the almost completely returning team. Bowling also looks very promising, with junior Rex Waller (who averaged 170 for the Kirksville bowling team) and graduate brother Phil Oresick leading the team. With a little success in some other sports this spring, we hope to raise our standing from seventh to an even . higher number. President's Message Dear Brothers, Lately, I believe things have started to turn for the better at Chi Mu. We have obtained a new cook who has been continually preparing excellent meals and showing initiative in the first month of employment. For instance, she-alw^s works longer hours than required and even came in over spring break to work on the kitchen. We also hired a cleaning lady to come in three days a week. Al together the hiring of this cleaning lady and cook will cost us only $^0 extra per month. We intend to make up these costs and the costs of the FIJI Missourian by having a fund raiser under the direction of Greg Gill, son of Lawrence Gill (*52). Two of our major problems. Accounts Receivable and apathy are starting to clear up. House members on AR's will have their plates taken away at meals and are otherwise being strongly encouraged to get loans. The apathy is starting to dissipate as more guys who never really worked for the chapter are starting to gradually get involved. Nevertheless, the main emphasis is rush—the quality of rush, in my opinion, will determine whether this house reemerges as a strong, vibrant fraternity on campus. Fraternally yours, Pete Cargill \r\nTo keep the FIJI Missourian and Newsletter going, we need your help, so we'd like to know what you're doing.
