Alpha Phi Omega Elects New Officers Alpha Phi Omega, the campus service fraternity, recently elected Timothy M. Lawson as Fraternity President for the coming 1976-77 academic year. Lawson, who hails from Richmond, Virginia, is a rising senior majoring in biology. Also elected were: Bob “Spacely” Houde, from Highland Lakes, N.J., who will be first Vice-President. William “P.W.” Tobin, a sophomore history major, was elected Second Vice-President; Jim Gates, a freshman from Apopca, Florida, is the new Secretary; Ralph Tileston, who is majoring in Distribution Management, was elected as Treasurer; and Tony DeCristofaro of Monmouth, N.J., has been electee! as Sergeant- at-arms. Dr. Bill Kirk, Fraternity Advisor, officiated at the in stallation ceremony. Rugby Club Closes Out Record Season The Abbey Animals continued their astounding history with another set of games and a 2-4 record, which is considered to be remarkable for a first year team in a sport as complicated as rugby. On Sunday, March 28 the “Animals” played U.N.C. at Greensboro and almost took a victory in the 23-22 thriller. At one point the Abbey Club had a twenty point margin of victory going for them but due to mental error in the fourth quarter, they gave up one point too many. Paul Briscione had two touch downs, Brian Rogers and Bob Delaney both had one to go along with Coach Guellar’s three extra points. Things were not looking too good after this game but better days were yet to come. Spring Weekend provided the surrounding for the next battle as the Charlotte Gargoyles were the opponents. The Animals swept through the “A” game with a 20-3 victory. Bob Delaney, Brian Rogers, Dave Ryder and Pat Mangan all scored a touchdown each and Danny Motuz backed them up with 4 extra points and a field goal. The entire team played well in this game and it should be noted that this was the same team that had handed the Abbey Club their first defeat in their first game of the season. So, it is obvious that the rugby team has improved much over the season. Looking back on the year, one of the original founders, Norman Berube, considered it an overly successful year and he stated that the club thanked Advisor Frank Ardaiolo, Coach Jeff Guellar, and everyone else who supported the Rugby Club in their first year. Ail alumni and students are eligible to participate as teammates on the Abbey Animals rugby team. The team, because, it is not financed through school funds is in need of money to continue and would appreciate all contributions.
