I feel the most critical stage in our With their leadership and the whole Chap ter's cooperation, Kappa Deuteron has pointed itself at lofty goals. I believe our past officers started the Chapter in the right direction; it will be the new officers' job to follow through on their predeces sors' leadership roles and spur the Chapter towards these new heights. I know myself, Keith Mason, Buddy Hendrick, Rick Hawkins, and Lee Crawley are capable of working together to help the Chapter reach its goals. These goals we have for ourselves are difficult to define and nearly impossible pledge program is rush. The searching for and finding of men capable of being ad mitted through the inner portal of Phi ft Scott Kenney Kappa Deuteron has pointed itself at lofty goals. the atmosphere of the Chapter. How do we reach these intangible goals? The key to this is motivation. One type of motivation is external which is the ability to lead others. Every member of our Chapter is capable of being a lead er in that every brother could motivate others to do something if he only wanted to do so. Therein lies the problem. We all have that spark of internal motivation,on ly some of us have to try harder to find it than others. It is my challenge, not only I::- help him in any way, such as with names and addresses, help with rush parties, etc., please get in touch with him. Rush wiU help revive our pledge program, as will our new pledge education committee.This will take some of the burden (as far as work load) off the pledge trainer and will also provide for more new ideas on pledge to measure. Some words we have all heard come close to what we are looking for; brotherhood, pride and Chapter tone. Our "intangible goals", however, are a mixture of these three plus some more. The only way to measure our goals is by sensing Gamma Delta is a difficult task. Our past historian. Kirk Jelinek, is the rush chair man. Kirk has a heavy load,so if you could education. to my Kappa Deuteron brothers, but to all Phi Gams to search for that spark, kindle it, and use it to the best of their ability to make your Chapter a better representative of Phi Gamma Delta. I think if we can do this, then our intangible goals will begin to be met, if not superceded. I Our intangible goals are easier to de scribe but just as difficult to obtain. I'wo major areas of concern are better brother involvement and our pledge program. We In closing, let me say that I am fired up about the upcoming year. I am quite hon ored to have been elected president by the Chapter. I only hope that I can show the brothers that they weren't wrong to have a little faith in me. I realize many Grad uates may not know me due to my short tenure in Phi Gamma Delta. In this respect, 1 encourage as many Grads as possible to come meet me and the rest of the young outside the Chapter. As far as, within the er brothers. We will be glad to have you come and see the good things that are go ing on at Kappa Deuteron. Chapter, we plan on all brothers being ac tive on at least one committee. By the way, our new committee heads are good Chapter President want our brothers to be active within and It Takes $$$ Hello sports fans. Hey, all you Gradu ates that want an Intramural Champion ship Team, start the money flowing. It is costing more and more money to field a Top Ten team. All those young athletes are wanting more and more money to go with FIJI. We can't afford to buy the 280 ZX's that these guys are demanding, and, as a consequence, we are becoming very average in athletics. We realize that with out winning teams we will lose our Grad uate support, but to field winning teams we need bucks—big bucks. There used to be a day when the only thing that mat tered was competition—but now we have to win. At the end of fall quarter, we found ourselves in fifth place in the Governor's League. The general feeling around the Fraternity was that we would easily recov- B. Scott Kenney By Rick Cromartie er during winter quarter, and there were even shouts of,"We're going to win it all," reverberating about the house. Alas, our athletes had become over-confident, and as a result, we have won only half our games. The basketoall team ended their season at 3-3, as did the bowling team, but the soccer team will have to win the next two games to end up at 3-3. The badminton team and the shuffleboard team both got hoofed early on, but the cross country team and weightlifting team have yet to perform. We are hoping for strong per formances in each of these areas from everyone, especially Rusty "Marathon" Wolf and Keith "Check-my-pecs" Mason. In conclusion, I feel that if we finish 3-3 in soccer and do well in cross country and weightlifting, we will finish high enough to regain the number one position in Spring. \r\nAfternoon Fiji Stays #7 The Kappa Deuteron Chapter did it again fall quarter with a total CPA of 2.941. The brothers had a 3.1 while those sharp Lambda pledges came through with 3- 2.5—thanks guys. With a little luck, we will claim the Scholarship Trophy for the tenth year in a row. oM-Mto...

Due to the destructive behavior of our most recent Pig Dinner, we have been forced to move our location away from the Georgia Center. We urge all partici pants to conduct themselves in a manner befitting our good fraternity. Cost for the event will be about $20. By Keith Mason ties included a Hunker Down Hurricane Social (aU the sororities were invited). FIJI has always boasted of having the sharpest men on campus and this winter pledge class follows that traditional mold. Keeping the idea of "unity through diver sity", the Mu Deuterons are working to get to know each other and the brothers as well. Already, they have planned two fund raising projects to raise money to buy a gift for the Chapter. The Mu Deuterons include the follow ing men: David Caras — Kennesaw Terry Gunnell — Villa Rica Basement Nears Completion Robert Henson — Lilbum Jeff Toole - Marietta Stan Hodges — Marietta Bobby Towe — Lilbum both would be greatly appreciated. I hope I am glad to announce that the Frater nity is remodeling the basement. The es timated cost for paneling, paint, and a bar that each of you Graduates will have a chance to come by and see the marked is about $700. Most of this cost is being improvement. As stated above, the Brothers have de financed through sale of our wood burn ing stove and the auction of the piano. We are nearing completion and as always are in need of contributions. These may be made in the form of furniture or cash; Howard Seidel — Atlanta Bubba Sullivan - Marietta cided to auction the grand piano during Pig Dinner this year. Lately, it has been used only as a place to put coats and books. Therefore, in order to help finance the basement remodeling costs, we will sell the piano to the highest bidder. The bidding wiU start at $250, and it is hoped that this will be looked at as a donation to the fraternity. Just think how happy your wife would be if you came home with a nice addition to your living room. Look ing forward to seeing each of you at Pig Dinner.
