In high school John was cap- 250 pound sow, in WGUY radio's second annual "green, green contest." The contestant was the brain storm of Tom Fisher, presently a junior from Chappaqua. New York. The enterprising "Fish" borrowed "Patty" from a local farmer and together with the brothers painted her green in the party room. The all-out effort won first place and a portable TV for frosh football. Naturally the brothers bubbled with enthusiasm and the "suds" spilled over from Cora's and Pat's seyeral of our other pledges, Jim is currently inter viewing for the Sophomore Owls.

Mike's lead ership and spirit has been a major contribution in shaping our pledge class. the house. into the Castle in the wee hours of the next morm- ing. It was an unusual St. Patrick's Day for Fiji Irishmen, those who thought they were Irishmen, those who liked green beer, and the "pie-eyed" piper. (I guess that includes about everybody!) Never being fraternity men to accept the status quo, Tom and the brothers borrowed a coffin this spring from a local mortician (maybe it was a hard ware store). After adorning the casket with sundry greens, six Fiji pallbearers and Tom took it into Bangor, where the denizens strolling down Main Street looked on with amazement and shock. Soon after, another first place and another portable TV graced our humble abode. That evening the St. Patrick's Day festivities were susprisingly quiet. The brothers were just as en thusiastic, but were "rawther" too subdued with that green stuff to carry on any post celebrations in the (jastle. Recently, everyone on campus has been talking about the Fiji's phenomenal success in the contest. The station manager of WGUY has asked us not to participate next year. However, the brothers seem to have other plans — right Tom ? \r\nTHE PRESIDENT SPEAKS OUT! Dear Brothers, Ever since I pledged Omega Mu, I have felt that our chapter is a sleeping giant. Since I moved into the Fiji Castle this school year, I think we have made small, but significant steps forward. The twenty-one men we have pledged show promise and enthusiasm. And action on our Building F und is FIJIS THROW HATS IN POLITICAL RING This fall saw a whirlwind of political activity around the Fiji Castle. Three of our prominent alumni, Ted Curtis '23. Robert Haskell '49, and Howard Foley '62 announced their candidacy for public office. "Ted" and "Bob" ran for .seats in the Maine Sen ate from Peiiobscot County. Brother Curtis, our purple legionnaire for 30 years and athletic director imminent. Naturally, I have to mention the fact that grad uate interest is appallingly apathetic. Yes, the situa tion has not changed. Emerson Gorham, our new corresponding secre of the University for 36 years, led all contenders and easily won his seat. Bob Haskell, the Pl-esident of Bangor HydroElectric Company, lost his bid for the Maine Senate in a very close race. In facfl. the final outcome Huctuated so many times that it was not decided until tary, has written many brothers and received no reply. Last year, three graduate brothers attended the Norris Pig Dinner. several weeks after the election. I realize graduate relations has been stressed re peatedly. But we do need your support. And by sup In his first attempt at a major political office, Howard Foley ran for second district congressman port, I mean lei. Mrs, attendance at Fig Dinner and of course, money — We are currently $14,000 in debt. I wish that every Fiji brother would feel a re sponsibility to Omega Mu. We are trying harder. And you? Fraternally yours, Edson T. Smith '68 President Perge! NEW CABINET INSTALLED Returning to school for the spring semester, the brothers of Omega Mu elected a new cabinet, which most feel is one of the finest ever assembled here at Maine. The new officers are: Edson T. Smith, President; Douglas Baston, Treasurer; Michael McInnta, Recording Secretary; Emerson Gorham, Corresponding Secretary; and Thomas Savage, His torian. Ed Smith, a junior English major, was a graduate of Hebron Academy where he lettered in football. Before assuming his duties as (President of the House, Ed chaired our alumni drive which will cul minate this summer. An exceptional student with a 3.65 last semester, Doug Baston has taken over the treasury. Doug, a sophomore majoring in political science, hails from Sanford, Maine. Bringing continuity to the new cabinet, last year's Historian, Mike Mclnnis, now serves the chapter as recording secretary. 'This past year Mike repre sented the house in the IFC. Emerson Gorham, affectionately called "Pizza," is a sophomore from Westfield, Mass. Emerson work ed extremely hard on our ru.sh committee this fall and was a major factor in the successful pledging of twenty-one fine young men. Through his corres pondence, Emerson is working hard to improve graduate relations. Holding down the anchor position as chapter His torian, Tom "Tubby" Savage is a junior business major from Portland, Maine. Tom has been instru mental in establishing and enforcing recent policies formulated by the new cabinet. "I^is is Omega Mu's new cabinet, and the brothers are already realizing that they have put their trust in the right men. Their comnetence assures us that the future of our chapter will be a prosperous one. against the well-entrenched incumbent. Bill Hathaway. Howard, a successful attorney who makes his home in Bangor, fought a tough battle and amassed about 45 percent ,of the vote. Foley was ^sident of Omega Mu in 1951. In talking with Brother Foley, he indicated that the two major factors which contributed to his de feat were running unopposed in the primaries and being relatively unknown before the campaign. Eager to help our graduate brothers, we timed our homecoming celebration to coincide with the election campaign. Our display on the front lawn proudly depicted our three aspirants for office. (In cidentally they Were all Republicans). After the foot ball game in the afternoon, we held a buffet and reception for Mr. and Mia. Curtis and Mr. and Mrs. Foley. FUIS ON CAMPUS This year Omega Mu has had many men actively participating in campus affairs. The Sophomore Owls is the sophomore honorary at the University of Maine consisting of 20 select men from the freshman class. Of sixteen houses on campus, Phi Gam was the only fratemty to have three owls, Dennis Olsen, Grant Watkins, and Ray O'Keefe. Besides being an owl. Grant also lettered in foot ball and is a dormitory counsellor. Dennis, too, saw much action on the gridiron. Continuing the sports action on the basketball court were Rod Macklin and Paul Reynolds both from Winslow. Already prac ticing are baseball players Bob Young and Ralph Bonnr.. Young, though only a sophomore, has al ready received recognition as an outstanding pros pect for second base. And many remember Ralph from last year when he smashed a clutch triple in the 9th inning to win a Yankee Conference game for Maine! In the political spectrum, Fijis too are outstand ing. Jim Turner, last year's outstanding pledge, is the Vice-President of the General Student Senate and will run for President in May. Ray O'Keefe is currently the president of the sophomore class, and is on the Student Faculty Relations Committee, the Executive Board of the Pershing Rifles, and is the Outstanding R.O.T.C. student. Tom Fisher, a junior from Chappaqua, N. Y., was the assistant business manager of the Campus and is the treasurer of the junior class.

Phi Gamma Delta kicked off the social year with a party after the first football weekend this fall, and it was a great success. However, the big weekend of the fall came October 23-25. This was our Gala Homecoming Cele bration, and from all reports it was one of the best in years. Alumni, parents, and friends mingled all afternoon around the house and discussed old times. Some of the tales were qmte amxisdng and probably a little stretched with time. One old brother quip- that he first met the ^rl who later became his a "smash" success. Everyone came in Fiji nighties and danced to the soun^ of the "Plagues." Already the spring semester has Men several parties at the house.
