strength, it has been estimated that. if
we can pledge 10 to 15 new TKEI s, the
house will be in as fine a shape as it has
ever been.
Several officers, in looking at pripr.
material corning through rush, felt that
_ tend to keep it up. Ther.e is a chance that
obtaining this number of quality men would
be an exceptionally difficult tal;lk. How­
ever, due to the work of the Interfraternity
Council in spreading the new iD;lage of the
fraternity around the community, there
has already been an increase in the number
of high school inquiries into the advantages
'
of fraternity life. This parallels an in­
creased respect among present student
and faculty members for the Greek image.
'We are optimistic, therefore, �as, to our
prospects for pledging a quality pledge

MUST LOOKAHUD
By Michael Dillon '67, Preside�t
The first year of the quarter system is
coming to a close at Cal, and the TKE
'
110use appears to have done quite well in
adjusting to it. Numerous policy chap.ges
have come about in the past year, and,
w'hile they haven't all gone as smoothly
a s they might have, we can look upon th.e
results as an indication. of new levels of
understanding arrlOng tl1efraters.
Members, itseems, are developing an
increased awareness of their role and
re1ponsibilities in all areas of involve­
ment and on all levels of cQncerI)., whether
-c--tF1:)e�th--=t1Ye�L:n:al ira ,erm y or t e na­
tional government.
House grade point average continues to
rise, ,as does interest in all other fields
of campus and community activity. Thus;­
as the.year ends, I e5{tend my pef$onaL�--­
commendations as well asthe'thanks of
the house to those. who have done so much
to bring this success about -- Thanks,
fraters.
And yet, we must look ahead. There is
much to be done in the way of rush, more
to be done in the way of scholarship, and
all to be done in tl1e ways of the world -­
and so, while I wish you all the happiest
and most ca:.refree of summer vacations,
I also direct you to the year ahead, with
the hope that we can make it the greatest !

NU WINS INTRAMURAr,.
SWIMMING .CHAMPIONSIjIP

intramural championship in several years.
The victory was a 60 4 2 romp over the

defending champions who finished second.
Johnson captured the all- University
championship i,n breast stroke and Snow
did likewise in the butte rfly, as well as
taking second in the 50 free.
Other standouts 'in the effort were Mike
Cowett '68, Steve Smith' '68 and Mike
Reinhart '69, all of whom picked up vital
points in both individual events and relays.
The victory in s wimming ended a long

but were not able to capture a crown.
In the annual Pushcart Relays., the house
won a second place trophy in the men's
division with Jim Hochman '70 at the helm.
The mixed competition was, unfoTtunately,
another story; our female drive showed
how women drivers got their reputation
by running into one of our own runners
du,ring a pass.
This cost the house places in both the
mixed and sweepstake competition, so
only one more tropl1y was added to the
shelf.
