afe^h9tPit/e The Beaver Fiji A Publication of Kappa Omicron of Phi Gamma Delta Kappa Omicron Oregon State University Fall 1984 News from KO Association M^e Need Your Help Those of you who have visited the chapter house in recent years have noticed that many changes in the physical plant have been accomplished. The main floor halls, flooring, dining room remodel, kitchen refurbish, new roof over the kitchen, new living room furniture, rug, new carpet, and reupholstery in the house mother's quarters, new carpet in upper halls and refinish and repanel in upper halls, new tile in second bathroom, remodel and additional shower in the third bathroom, and new furnace all are projects that were completed over the last six years without debt financing. The time has come for a major renovation of the study areas on the second and third floors. The last time this project was done was in 1967. The project this time will involve replac ing all the windows, study desks, and closets, and adding cur tains, carpet, and decor that will make our fraternity more live able and competitive for rushing. You may be aware that many of the fraternity houses have undergone major renovations in the last year that makes them more appealing to rushees! We do need to compete to stay via I am in the process of selecting a coordinating committee to help oversee this project. Our biggest need is money and for that reason this background information is important to you so you can better understand our goals. I also would appreciate any help or volunteers to help obtain contributions for this pro ject. You will be contacted in the next few months and be asked to donate to this project. My personal goal would be to gather donations to pay for 35-50% of the costs. How much is that? I am in the process of obtaining tentative bids and will follow in the next Beaver Fiji or a special mailing with a progress report. You can imagine, however, that it will not be cheap!

OCCUS would be arriving soon, and if he were to be satisfied and provide us with beautiful weather, many things needed to be accomplished. The main bridge was constructed in one day, thanks to the experience of the sixth-year seniors. And in one week's time we were attracting a lot of attention to our new land. Bridges, huts, and the stage for the band had all been constructed. The sand was spread soon thereafter, along with fir boughs and tunnels being completed. The excitement was in the air, and before we knew it. Islander eve was here! After the finishing touches, the natives disappeared, only to reappear in the morning. With dates on their arms, the natives loaded into the Islander U-Hauls destined for the pre-function park. 363-2434 643-1023 646-8493 Any of you who can or will help with materials, etc., re With rhythm and blues, babes and brews, the sun began to shine radiantly on the crowd below.

Everything else had been set for an evening in an island paradise. We soon regrouped with our dates, all dressed in Is lander garb, knowing it would all soon begin. As my date stepped outside, she stopped dead in her tracks. Looks of confusion, dismay, and excitement all appeared on her face, one after the other. Her eyes started to the left and panned the entire Island scene. She was in complete awe. It was this look, this moment, this memory, that I had worked so hard for and will never forget. \r\nPage 2 THE BEAVER FIJI Then, as we began to indulge ourselves on Fiji roast beast, the "fun" hit the fan! From the stage came a roll of smoke and a loud lead guitar intro. Mr. Nice Guy, our live band, was here, and as excited as we were. For hours on end the band rattled the neighborhood and played one tune after another, causing the dancing natives to get loose — I mean really loose! Before we knew it, it was time to head off to Newport for round three of our Islander Weekend. As Fijis gathered on the beach for the post-function, the sun began to set. The bonfires were then lit and we all began relaxing and partying with our dates and brothers. The remainder of the weekend was spent with small groups of good friends doing whatever came to mind. Fall 1984 the F.A. Gilfillan Memorial Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Science. The new award will honor a faculty member in the OSU College of Science for distinguished scholarship achievements in science over an extended period of time. Nominations will be made to the dean of the College of Science before the end of June. The dean will then appoint a committee of senior faculty members who will evaluate the relative merit of the nominations. The award, which carries a prize of $1,000, will be present ed for the first time in September 1984 and thereafter every fall at the first faculty meeting of the College of Science.

"Doc" Gilfillan could not have been paid tribute in any finer way and we, the men of Kappa Omicron, are honored knowing that he was a founding part of our chapter. With honor and pride, — The Men membering, — Scott R. Kirk, Islander *84 Veteran Graduate Support Helps Build Pride Much time has passed since my last letter to you. My expe riences as house manager have provided me with much knowl edge and insight into the workings of Kappa Omicron. Needless to say, my undertakings were very beneficial and ones I would do again. I can readily say that many aspects of my job were made easier thanks to the continuing and growing graduate support. Their involvement through such activities as Homecoming has provided me and the rest of the undergraduates at Kappa Omi cron with memories and suggestions beyond value. As I enter a new year, I can see a much changed house outlook compared to when I pledged Phi Gamma Delta three short years ago and even since my last message. Members and pledges alike are emphasizing scholarship and house pride. Their enthusiasm in these areas has created high morale and a growing feeling of brotherhood. Our campus reputation with fel low fraternities, sororities, and the university in general has greatly benefited from this change in Kappa Omicron. This has given me a sense of personal satisfaction and pride. I feel that I have accomplished what I set out to do as house manager and I wish to continue on this road to positive and productive think ing. In the remainder of my time as house manager, I believe that Kappa Omicron's revived sense of brotherhood will con tinue to grow and flourish. However, to maintain the positive aspects of our chapter, one cannot look strictly within. Graduate support is therefore highly needed and greatly appreciated here at Kappa Omicron. Although monetary contributions pay for this publication and other physical aspects of the fraternity, it is your presence and active involvement that we greatly benefit from. You are the life line of the fraternity and the fathers of our chapter. Our outlook and brotherhood can only benefit by your visits and knowledge concerning Kappa Omicron. In the future, I hope I can contrib ute to the fraternity as you have in the past and will willingly do so in the future. of Kappa Omicron KO Financially Sound Brothers, once again I am pleased to report that Kappa Omicron continues to maintain a sound financial position. The audit completed by the Cooperative Managers Association for the fiscal year of 1983 indicated a gain on operations by $2,000. This gain, due mostly to both a high number of brothers living in over the last three terms, and an agressive approach to funds management, has enabled us to forgo an increase of the housebill for 1984 (approx. $2,350 for the year). This year, 67 brothers are living in fall term, which is two over capacity. It appears that Kappa Omicron will continue to remain near capacity, maintain ing a respectable financial position into 1985. A continuing effort is being made by the finance committee to continuously review and revise financial procedures. We are presently investigating computer software packages that would enhance the treasurer's ability to manage both the use and col lection of chapter funds. Graduates who are involved with the sales or implementation of computer systems are encouraged to give the treasurer a call at the chapter house (758-3685). As al ways, Kappa Omicron will accept any tax-deductible donations of furniture or other useful items, supplying in return a typed proof of receipt for your tax records. With my term as treasurer nearing its completion, I will take the opportunity to thank Dr. Goger, Mrs. Tourtillott, and the brothers and graduates who worked and cooperated with me. This position has been one of the best experiences of my life. It is an experience which has made, and still makes me, "mighty proud" to be a Fiji. Financially and fraternally, — Paul K.

From dining on Cajun (creole) cuisine to taking a cruise on a Mississippi steamboat to visiting The scholarship program here at Kappa Omicron is cur rently going through some major changes in hopes of improving our all-house GPA. This would ultimately enhance our promi nence on campus. Some of the areas of change include a pledge study program, a competition and recognition program, and an in-house tutor system. the 199th World's Fair, our time was completely filled. The pledge study program consists mostly of a file monitor ing system using logged study hours and self-realization and preparation counseling. A Big Brother/Little Brother study pro gram will also be implemented to bring the membership person ally closer to the pledges. These programs were basically de signed to take the place of study tables, and are already yielding wonderful results in the area of attitude as well as grades. Competition and recognition are things that are needed to motivate people to do a certain thing. As a result, we have set up a "Scholar of the Week" competition with a weekly awards ceremony. Along with this, we have established an in-house honor roll, placing the members' names on a special plaque for recognition. These and other smaller competitions will make scholarship at least more interesting, if not fun. This will hope fully create a better all-house attitude. An in-house tutor system, or file, was also introduced this year and has proved to be invaluable to our chapter. A file of majors and respective classes was set up to create a list of brothers who felt qualified or able to help in certain areas of study. Brothers having problems in classes can now find out who in the house can help them. This works very well with elim inating problems of wasting time in misunderstanding, and also brings the membership closer together. This scholarship program should prove to be very success ful in creating a great attitude which will be reflected in our allhouse GPA. We are very optimistic and confident that our new programs will bring us to our goal in this year of 1984-85. Perge, Events such as the Fiji Academy and the Ekklesia are truly eye-openers. The quality of the personnel and programs are def initely impressive. No wonder our fraternity rates in the top five on the international level! "Phi Gamma Delta" and "Fiji" are two good names for one great fraternity. Rod, Dave, and I are, more than ever, mighty proud to be Fijis, and with good reason. Fra ternally, — Jonathan D. Weaver, 136th Ekklesia Delegate Turnout Great for Homecomins *84 Homecoming at Oregon State was held on the 26th and 27th of October this year and was a memorable and fun week end. The Beavers put up a good fight against the Stanford Car dinal, with the final score showing Stanford with 28 points and OSU with 21. The defeat was much easier to take because the tailgater beforehand was so fantastic! After the near victory, grads and undergrads came back to the chapter house to cele brate good times with old and new friends. The festivities started out with a wet bar that had every thing from G&Ts to "Greyhounds." Several kegs of beer were on tap to add to the good spirits. In addition, we had a beautiful buffet dinner, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. "T," our housemom, and Mrs. Prindel, our new cook. Many house tours were also given to show the graduate brothers the numerous physical plant improvements completed over the previous summer. Kappa Omicron's Homecoming party had one of the best turnouts in recent years, sporting many recent graduates, older grads, and the families of some of the undergraduate brothers. The mixture of generations provided many memories as well as great company. We thank all of the graduates who made donations, espe — Daniel N. Thompson, Scholarship cially brother Norman K. Seethoff from Washington, and broth er Buell E. Wilcox from Portland, for their donations "above and beyond the call of duty." I can assure you that all of your dona Ekklesia Report tions will be put to work in the Graduate Relations Fund. Over 700 brothers of the fraternity gathered at the famous Fairmont Hotel in New Orleans for the 136th Ekklesia, which took place August 12 through 16. I encourage you to come by the chapter house to see the many new improvements and to see our "studly" new pledge class. I say this because you, our graduate brothers, are as much a part of Kappa Omicron as the undergraduate members. Proudly, — Robert C. Beamon, Graduate Relations As the congressional body of the fraternity convened, there were several events that stood out above the rest: -Rob Kirk ('85) represented Kappa Omicron very well as the chairman of the committee on insignia, giving the best presentation heard by the Ekklesia body. -Through the efforts of Section Chief Peter Gray, an Ore gon Fiji, expansion efforts will be concentrated in the West. -Don McKay (Sigma Tau Chapter at the University of Washington) was selected to succeed Lew Costello as Ar- Editor's Letter As "editor-in-chief," I decided to write a short letter explain ing the minor changes in Kappa Omicron's Beaver Fiji publica tion.

Our new look will hopefully not alarm any of you, but instead provide much visual pleasure. chon President. -In short, the West was very unified and assertive in the fraternity's future planning.

Johnson, Pledge Educator ikFiji White Star Court In the active and stressful college lifestyle, something beauti ful and pleasant is needed to relieve the tension that has been placed on many college men. At Kappa Omicron, it has been our policy to help the men of this chapter cope with their stress by using members of the Fiji White Star Court. After all, what would be more relaxing than having 45 of Oregon State's bestlooking women around the chapter house all the time? Actually, the main purpose of the Fiji White Star Court is to give those girls who show a special interest in the chapter a chance to be come more involved. Each year, it is the court chairman's job to recruit the ne cessary amount of new ladies to fill the gap left by graduating or retiring members of the court. This year, out of approximately 80 women trying out, 29 new members were chosen. These la dies have shown the most enthusiasm in being related to the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta. With so many new members, it Is a great way for the men of the chapter and the ladies of the court to meet people. This year the court committee is planning a very active court membership. Such activities planned are special court functions each term, the annual court Christmas party. Islander dinner, and numerous surprise wake-up breakfasts and study breaks. Along with these events, groups of four to six court members are invited over for dinner one night every week. These activities and events are Kappa Omicron's way of show ing our appreciation for the ladies' enthusiasm. All the members of the Fiji White Star Court are given a special tie to the chapter with the big and little brother program. Each year, new members are given big brothers and returning members are given little brothers. In this way, every big and little brother and their respective sisters can better acquaint them selves with each other. It also gets the entire chapter involved with the court. The big brothers all give to new court members sharp-looking long-sleeve T-shirts with an attractive logo of the Fiji White Star Court on the front and back. These shirts, along with each court member's word of mouth, help bring up Phi Gamma Delta's public relations and image on the Oregon State campus and in the town of Corvallis. With an active court, a fraternity cannot lose, and this year's White Star Court plans to be the best ever! Fraternally, — Paul E. Louis, White Star Court Chairman \r\nFall 1984 THE BEAVER FIJI Page 5 House Fire at Kappa Omicron sports equipment — tax-deductible of course — would be great ly used and appreciated. Here's to an excellent winter sports Arson is blamed for the early morning fire Saturday, June 9, that destroyed a wood pile, stored material, and portions of the north end of the chapter house. season! Yours in athletics, — Jon R. Hytinen, Intramural Sports Because the fire occured at the end of finals week, house mother Julie Tourtillott (Mrs. "T"), who was sleeping at the op posite end of the building, was the only person inside. She was never endangered, thanks to the men of Kappa Sigma, our neighboring fraternity, who quickly reported the fire soon after it started. Bamboo fencing, lumber, and netting used for the Islander were destroyed. Also damaged were nine mattresses in the second-floor sleeping porch, a portion of the roof, and paint in the interior of the kitchen. According to Paul Davis, house treasurer, the $1,200 in damage should all be covered by the chapter house insurance. The men of Kappa Omicron are especially thankful to the men of Kappa Sigma Fraternity for their concern and fast ac tion. It is because of them that we are still living at OSU and that no lives were lost. — Jon S. Fin/ey, Publications An Opinion: Frank Ramblings on the Fraternal Life Many times during our stay here at Kappa Omicron, we hear "you get out of it what you put into it." This is a truth we all adhere to, like it or not. We spend a half decade being directly associated with the house, cleaning, cooperating, organizing, and, of course, dwelling. We "put in" just by being here. What do we get out of residing at 348 NW 25th? In my opinion: broth erhood, friendships, and good social grooming. Enough's been said and read about the first two concepts; therefore, time will be spent looking into the last one. Take 65 men and place then in a nonprivate, close living situation: the house. Each is eager to share his talents, his per sonality, and his dreams with the other 64. Everyone wants to be liked, loved, to be in the spotlight, to make a difference in his own way, and above all, to be respected. How is he going to accomplish this with 64 others competing for the "airtime" of relatively few opportunities? It's not easy for most. Some are gifted. They have a capacity for being at the right place at the right time. Others are fortunate. Talents are discov ered and then opportunities are passed out. Many times popu larity takes the place of talent in this respect. The majority, however, has to earn the chance to do, to excel, to fail, to be heard, and to accept the rewards. How they accomplish this depends on their social grooming. To me, social grooming extends beyond the rush expe rience or the beer spilt on the dance floor. It takes a man into the real world with confidence or leaves him with the lack of it. His grooming enables him to handle responsibility, interact with other human beings well, and efficiently pool his resources and talents in such a way as to succeed.

Intramural Sports Report Kappa Omicron has once again started the fall sports sea son with a group of highly competitive teams composed of out standing scholar-athletes. Fielding a team in every possible fall sport, our chapter has come out on top of our fellow competing fraternities in total intramural points! Earning a team high mark of 440 points, the closest fraternity. Beta Theta Pi, is 60 points behind! This again shows the superiority of Phi Gamma Delta as a sports power on the OSU campus. Our "A" and "B" football teams came out with an average win/loss record at .500, and the swimming team showed a 300% marked improvement over last season ending with a 2 and 4 win/loss record. The real showstoppers this season, however, were Kappa Omicron's volleyball and bowling teams. Both teams took their respective leagues, posting perfect records in the process. Al though both lost early in the playoff rounds, these teams were crucial in our IM ranking and our campus dominance. Showing sportmanship and a true Fiji-type attitude, all our teams ended their seasons with a great sense of pride and accomplishment. We are all very proud of our scholar-athletes. The sports fanatics here at KO wish to extend an invitation to all of you to come and watch our teams compete. We know that you would get a big kick out of it! Also, any donations of Others depend on his efforts; therefore, he cares enough to succeed and manages his responsibility well. He lives with 64 other men in a confined space; therefore, he knows how to han dle himself in such a way to be liked, cared for, and allowed to return. He is in competition with many others to acquire the same experience, benefit, and glory of responsibility. If he wants to climb the ladder of success, he won't be able to do so with his hands in his pockets. Therefore, he does what he has to do to achieve his goals. Odds are, if he's in the majority, the opportun ity will not be given to him until his social grooming has been utilized by him and recognized by others. The opportunity to interact, cooperate, and assist are al ways prevalent. Taking on these will help one to attain other levels of opportunity like responsibility, achievement, and pur pose. The key is in anyone's hand who desires to open the door. It all depends how far he wants to go. Life is not ideal. However, many are satisfied just living at the house. Many have the credentials, but aren't given the op portunity to "show their colors." Others feel sadness from the result of not having enough rewards for their efforts. Phi Gamma Delta and Kappa Omicron are the "training grounds" for the real world. The ups and downs seen in this environment are also inherent in our post-college days. How a young man handles these ups and downs is indicative of how well he does later on. If a man begins life here at Kappa Omicron with all the disadvantages and in the end comes out on top, he has used his social grooming well and will continue to use it for much success and happiness after his college days. He will con tinue to get out what he put into his stay at 348 NW 25th. Fra ternally, — Jon H. Herman, bth-year senior in civil engineering \r\nPage 6 THE BEAVER FIJI Fall 1984 We believe this to be the pledge class of 1962.
