GRADS COME HOiME! FIJI ROCK CON'T At first the 1980-81 season seemed like i t would "be a dry one for the new Pi Ides editor. The response from his first publication was discouraging as well as leaving him with little to report in his next graduate section. A special Homecoming flyer was mailed out to generate some psych and hopefully to get alot of grads to come home to Pi Iota. Much to the delight of the undergraduate chapter, the response was widespread as a large turnout ventured back to "Old 99"- The grads were greeted warmly at the house and brought down to the homecoming football game. A canopy was set up at one end of the field from which hot dogs and beer were served. This along with the fine weather helped lift the social spirits which renewed many a friendship. The football team's sound victory by two Fijis made the afternoon a complete su ccess. The evening also proved enjoyable as many grads stayed the night to enjoy the sounds of the band. Homecoming 1980 proved successful and we hope this success continues on to Pig Dinner '81. As the editor, I ask you In the winter of'77-'78 the rock was stolen (supposedly by a brother of Theta Chi) recovered. Thanks and never to the resourcefulness of Brother Bob Guigi '79 a replace ment of much larger mass and volume was obtained to maintain the trad ition. In fact the rock was so heavy that Old '99 shook when the stone was dropped from the truckbed. Our worries were over. Never again would Pi Iota go rockless. In the ensuing years the rock ' would be painted, torched, hit by cars and even bombed but the monolith was there forever: or was it? In the fall of 1980, the brothers returned to WPI only to find the pedestal that once held their rock empty. This time the party respon sible was the City of Worcester which removed ers that all of the other bould surronded Institute Park as well. Heartbroken and plagued by a flood of inquries about the rock and its well being, the brothers of Fiji set out to find another replacement for the rock. This time, before it was replaced, its absence would be noted by Deans and Prof- graduates to write in any alumni news you care to share with your fessors of WPI and members of local churches to name a few. I t seemed fellow graduates. Response has been low of late and I am nearly exhausted in supply of graduate news. My Ten Most Wanted Fiji article has generated no reply. almost mandatory to replace the thing that so many people had come to depend on. The spot in the Park cried out to be covered by a large purple mass. As a reminder this article asked This time Brother Dave Green for anyone to send in a brother(s) would come through with the tools, name whom he would like to materials and Pig Dinner. see at A Ten Most Wanted Fiji list would be published in order to get the "desperados' psyched to come to Pig Dinner and hopefully draw a large turnout. I ask you grads to get psyched as this is your paper. Remember: Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days alone! MOVING?! TTI '81 initiative to counter act the city's decision to remove the rock. The new Rock (even more massive than its predecessors) now sits comfortably in the same old spot greeting passerbys and willfully accepting new coats of paint every other night. This is one-tradition that is not going to die easily.
