President Brad Nestico said
fraternity pranks such as the
theft of composite photos are
a normal part of fraternity
life. But the incident at Phi
Kappa Theta cannot be con
sidered typical.
Fraternity member James
Hornick (junior-marketing)
said cases of vandalism have
been a part of fraternity life,
but until recently, they have
been on a relatively small
scale.
"There's always stupid
things like the fraternity flag
getting stolen," Horniek said.

added.

Gingrich says his resignation
avoids Republican infighting
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. House
Speaker Newt Gingrich said last
night he decided to retire rather
than fight for a new term last week
because his continued presence
would have become an "excuse for
divisiveness and factionalism"
inside Republican ranks.
It is wrong, Gingrich told a meet
ing of GOPAC, for "any one person
to put their office above the good of
the country and the party."
Gingrich's speech before the
Republican organization he once
headed marked his first extended
public appearance since his stun
ning decision Friday to give up his
high office.
Gingrich, R-Ga., was received
warmly, and got a rousing ovation
when he displayed his personal copy
of the "Contract With America," the
campaign manifesto that Republi
cans rode to their landslide election
victory in 1994. "Again and again,
calmly systematically, we kept our
word," he said of the revolution he
once led.
Gingrich also used his speech to
tick off accomplishments of the last
four years welfare legislation,
overhaul of Medicare, expanded
medical research among them.
Listening in the audience was
Rep. Bob Livingston, the Louisiana
Republican who challenged Gin
grich for the speakership on Friday,
and then became the overwhelming
favorite to succeed him after the
Georgian decided to retire.
"The next speaker of the House,"

Gingrich called Livingston, and
urged all Republicans to work with
him to prevent a victory in 2000 by
Vice President Al Gore and congres
sional Democrats.
Gingrich decided to retire last
week after his party suffered unex
pected setbacks in the midterm
elections. Only hours after he had
assured the rank-and-file that
Republicans would gain as many as
30 House seats, the voters decided
otherwise. Instead, the GOP lost
five seats, the first time since 1934
that the party in power in the White
House has gained seats in the House
during midterm elections.
Stunned Republicans demanded a
leadership change, and within 72
hours, Gingrich had withdrawn, sig
naling the end of a tumultuous reign
as the first GOP speaker in 40 years.
