Building Fund Status Report
Last spring we initiated a "once in a generation" fund
solicitation for capital improvements to 28 The Fenway. Our
renovation plans include repairs and reconstruction of the building
exterior, addition of alarms and a sprinkler system for fire protection,
and interior maintenance.
We are pleased to report that the initial response to the
solicitation was excellent. As of August 31, 86 alumni have
contributed an average of approximately $200 each for a total of
$16,671. Your names appear on the enclosed list. Obviously, there are
many more of our 700 members who can help. You may expect to be
reminded by letter and by phone during the coming months. In a
separate transmittal Bob Mohr 72, national chairman of the fund
drive, will describe our needs in more detail.
Much of the exterior repair necessary to halt progressive
damage from water and ice has been completed. Roof insulation and
storm windows have been added to reduce fuel costs. We have
borrowed (at low interest) from the MIT IRDF fund for a sprinkler
system. That system has been installed - very carefully,
unobtrusively. Further work awaits contributions. We thank
everyone who has responded, but we can only achieve our goal with
the help of all alumni.

First, the House Corporation, using the generous donations in
time and money of Iota Mu alumni, is providing the means to
renovate 28 The Fenway. On behalf of the undergraduates, I thank
all contributors.
Second, we are making a sincere effort to improve the graduate
correspondence, our community relations, our involvement in extra-
curricular activies, our social service to the community, and our
intramural athletics. The addition of a house tutor, Bruce Fish '80

Rush
Among all fraternities at MIT during Rush Week, the Fiji Rush
was the most successful. Considerably more prospectives visited the
house during Rush Week than have in recent years. Despite the

system, our goal of 11 pledges was achieved by Monday evening with

brothers. Especially outstanding jobs were done by Paul Nahass 83

Graduate Relations Strong
The Spring term was a good one for graduate relations at lota
Mu. We finally discovered the identity of our previously anonymous
donor of Sports Illustrated magazine to the house. This gave us an
opportunity to thank him for his generous gesture.
Of course there was the annual Norris Pig Dinner which went
very well.' We had over 70 graduates in attendance and a good time
was had by all. A highlight of the evening was the attendance of two
brothers from the class of 1917 and one from the class of 1920.
