ROSEoHULMAN INST:TUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NORRIS PIG DINNER Past Presldent Art Schultz (ME '81), Historian Richard H. "Doc" Crowder (DePauw '31), Dean Don Mlghell (Texas '56), Rltuallst Blll Mlller (lU '62), Presldent Frank Gavrilos (ME '821, Treasurer Brlan Michel (CHE '821, and Section Chief Pete King (lU '76) (1. to r.) at thls year's Norris Pig Dinner. The annual Norris Pig Dinner was held March 1s and came off with typical Fiji flair. Early in the evening 32 graduate brothers gathered at the house for a few stories. After Happy Hour everyone headed to the Sheraton lnn for more festivities. First came the "Bringing in of the Pig" by the Pledge class. After the pledges and all others who had not paid their respects to the pig did so, youngest pledge Chris Johnston (ME '84) paid his respects to the pig. The honor of kissing the pig's snout went to our guest speaker, Fraternity Historian Richard H. "Doc" Crowder (DePauw '31). The Exile's Toast was given by Andy Gavrilos (EE 'Bo), who did a good iob (for a Greek from "da Region"). After dinner, Frank H. Gavrilos (ME 'B2l gave the President's Report. Treasurer Brian Michel (CHE 'Bzl SPR:NG 1981 cleverly allowed Bill Gibson (ME 'T4l to give the House Gorp. Report. The Scholarship awards were given by Chairman Tim Brown (ME-CE '82). Mike Schipper (CE '82) had the most improved G.P.A., was the runner-up for the highest cumulative G.P.A., and was awarded a $100 scholarship by the phi Gamma Delta Educational Foundation. Highest cumulative honors for the pledges was shared by Ron Bender (EE '84) and steve Proffitt (EE '84)- with perfect averages. Highest cumulative G.P.A. for an active was Damon Ground (cH E '82). The sophomore winner of the Educational Foundation Scholarship was Kent Eaton (M E '83). The material for Brother Growder's speech came from the diary of Brothers John T. McCarty and John Conrad's trip to California during the Gold Rush. The diary covered the period from March to December 1849 and gave insight to the personalities, thoughts and impressions of the young travellers as they made the trip west. From the entries, it seemed the men gained more of an appreciation for life. Brother Crowder's humorous interpretation of the diary made his talk enjoyable. After the meal, the house was again the scene of more reminiscing and socializing until the wee hours of the morning. Those who dared to go to bed before 2:30 a.m. were reminded that wasn't the thing to do by the Fiii Rock'n' Roll, Bluegrass, Dixieland, Rhythm and Blues, Pots and Pans Marching Bandl All in all, the graduate and undergraduate had a great evening of fraternity brotherhood.

At the Pig Dinner Meeting, the restructuring of both organizalions was completed, unveiling a well-defined structure for both, complete with guidelines to follow for future reference. Also, an "lnvestment Advisory Committee" was established for our benefit; a round of clicks goes to Dean Don M ighell (Texas '50), Dr. Frank Guthrie (Hanover '50), and Purple Legionnaire Dave Myers (cE '75).

The old Phallic team resurfaced as the "We Are Phallic" team, decked out in Devoesque attire. Graduate brother Tom Roetker (ME '80) once again drove and Field secretary Brian Dunster (British Columbia '80) proved to be a back seat inspiration and authority on Road Ralleyes. Once again, an ingbnious team won the first place trophy. Brother Paul Jenkins (EE '83) imported three guest Ralleyers, and they took the coveted 1981. Thousands of celebrities have been reserving rooms at the luxurious woodridge Motel (the off icial motel of the tournament) preparing for the gala activities. Anyone wishing to participate in either the competitive flight or the grueling "hacker's" flight, contact Art Schultz (ME '81) or the esteemed Senator G.

Not every team fared so well{ The Rock would have made it to the first checkpoint, but they were apprehended by the state police outside the peni- \r\ntentiary. They decided to go to the picnic, byt the car died outside Rose. The party at the.house capped _off'a great day. Everyone had a good t!ffie, and we hope that we can see you next year testing the back roads of beautiful Spr:ngtirne Terre Haute. BJEF'83 1981 GREFK GAMES The Greek Games were held on April 26. Although Rho Phi did not place as well as usual, w€ showed everyone our Fiji protherhood. The day proceeded smoothly under the direction of Brother Bruce Fleck (EE '82l.To help relieve the tension of the past,.years, the bicycle race was replaced by an obstacle course designed by Steve Nowak (ME '83) and Alan Yarcusko (EE '83). A iellosnarf ing contest was also added to help relieve tension. Also, Rose's newest fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi, ioined in the competition. After collecting a fourth place in almost every event, w€ finished the day fourth overall, behind perennial champion LXA, SN, and ATO. Upholding Phi Gamma Delta's reputation as the singing fraternity, Rho Phi's rendition of a medley from "The Music Man" earned a first in the songfest competition. Director Bill Johnson (ME '82). with the assistance of Bruce Fleck, did an excellent iob of readying us for the competition. The day was capped off with a gathering of many fellow Greeks at the house (which lasted early into the morning). Everyone was pleased with the friendly atmosphere of the games and hopes the future games will be as successful. DLS ,g3 SPORTS The past quarter has been very interesting in both varsity and intramural athletics. The Rose Varsity basketball team made the Division lll playoffs but lost their first game to Savannah .State in Savannah, Georgia. Don Patton (CE '82), Keith Kemp (CH '84), and Scott Williams (EE '84) all saw considerable action, and the three should see considerable action next year. The varsity baseball team has played ball around the.500 rnark. Four Phi Gams are on the team and see action. They are Perry Stephens (M E '82), Steve Nowak (ME '83), Ron Bender (EE '821 and Brent Mewhinney (M E '821. Unfortunately, early in the season Steve sustained a knee iniury which required surgery. Steve plans to be back in plenty of time for next season. The track team is having a terrific season. They have won'almost every dual meet, finished second at Little State, and have an excellent shot at winning the conference this year. The four Phi Gams have run extremely well this year. They are Howard Menser (ME'82), Mike Schipper (CE'82\, Tom Redford (ME-CE '83), and Mike O'Brien (EE '83). Mike Schipper sustained an ankle injury and missed about two weeks, but hopefully he will be ready for conf erence. The world of intramural softball hasn't changed much for Rho Phi. Fiii Maior, Geke and Meat all continue to lose at a steady pace. Meat Squad fans will be disappointed to learn that they won their first game ever. DP'82 GRADUATE NEWS Graduate contact here at Rho Phi has been very good during this past quarter. Especially noticable has been the graduate class of 1980, with at least one of them around for any party or activity. Earlier Rho Phi grads have also been keeping in touch through various forms of correspondence, relating great tales of high adventure and epic heroism. Here's a few of the things they've been up to: Tom Burtzlaff '79 and Rick Cahill '79 spent three weeks traveling around Europe and while in Germany manbged to visit Lt. John Burkey '79 and his wife, Stacey. Stacey, incidentally, is expecting a little cadet in November. Steve Wilson '80 and his wife Michelle have passed the expecting stage and are now the proud parents of a little girl, Karisa. Arwin Roe '78 is doing consulting work for the gasohol industry, and his wife Diane passed her bar exam and will soon be an Assistant States Attorney. Robert "Bobo" Froetscher '80 and Roe East '80 are presently serving the fraternity in the roles of Pledge Educators for the new Fiii Delta Coloney at Bradley University. Speaking of Roe, he, along with other '80 grads Paul Rupprecht, Andy Gavrilos, and Tim McGrath, have all announced plans to be married at various times within the next year. Brother Ron Andrews '74 recalled an old bet of his with the chapter and sent us $30.00 to help "refresh" ourselves after our songfest victory this year. Thanks, Ron ! ! Also giving the chapter some help was the father of Brother Steve Goble '71. He was able to get us a good deal on a new couch and set of chairs. The furniture was a needed and much appreciated addition to the house. And finally, in an appropriate closing note, Brother Nate Edwards '78 has decided to give up the glamour and nightlife associated with pig-farming in the greater metropolitan Terre Haute area. He will be working for an off-shore drilling company about 80 miles west of New Orleans. 4. ., TLK'83 PUBLIC RELATIONS The spring term here at the Rho Phi has been a very successful one in the area of Public Relations; The Third Annual Fiji lnvitational Track Meet was a huge success with over 140 Terre Haute fourth graders participating and nearly $400 being raised for Special olympics. As in the past, we are also lending our aid to Designer Showcase, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, and the Blood Drive. \r\nRounding out the spring activities for thg p.R. committee, Parents' Weekend and having professors in for dinner cin a/ ,eekly basis has s_trehgthened the P.R. program.

This will allow a more efficient utiltzation of the computing facitities at' Rose-Hulman. / Delta Sigma Phi, Rose's seventh social fraternity, is scheduled to'receive its charter in the near f uture. It's having problems finding a house, though. For a while it appeared that thg Delta Sigs would live five houses south of the FlJl house, but that effort was thwarted by Mayor Pete Chalos' veto of an ordinance permitting them to do so. Finally, the Board of Managers will meet soon, and is expected to approve a resolution to admit women to Rose-Hulman, beginning with the 1982-83 school year. Recent surveys of the student body show'support for this proposal. Obviously, this will be updated as needed! Jim Boo (CHE '83) is ready for his leg of the cart race.
