THE* SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for November, 1953 137
Rothman and Oberlin are on the Fall soccer and tennis
teams respectively. With the pledging of such a fine
group, we feel that the coming year should be successful
in every respect. 6' 5" Don Dejong continues his fine
job as end on the Big Red team, and should be in line
for little All-American honors this year. Bud MUler and
John Hunting have been elected co-captains of the newly
formed varsity soccer team, and five other Phis are listed
on the squad's roster, including Jim Barth, who was
chosen on the all-Midwest team last seaspn. Intramurals
have not started as yet, but the tennis team of LeFever
and Peckham should go without defeat, and speedball
outlooks are optimistic. Scholastically minded, the chapter
is proud to announce that last semester it raised itself
from last place to fourth in school standing, with seven
brothers making the Dean's List. In outside activities, the
Phis are easily the most outstanding group on campus.
Harry Rownd is president of O A K and vice president of

Who's Who in American Universities, George Garrett has
been elected social chairman of the Senior class, and John
Heamon treasurer ot the Junior class. Phis are represented
in virtually every extracurricular activity on Denison's
campus, and are taking an active interest in keeping their
record as fine as it has been in past years. Henderson and
McCombs, co-social chairmen, have announced a full
calendar for the coming semester, including the annual
Roman Banquet, Apache party, and the ever popular
She Delta Theta. Get-togethers with the Phis from both
Ohio State and Ohio University have been arranged. In
every respect Ohio Iota looks forward to a banner year,
and we are thankful that our advisor, Larry Goodell,
will be well enough to again guide our sometimes faltering
steps. Aiding him will be Ted Preston, professor in
Modern Languages. With such men on our side we
