Pi Kaps Expand Donation
by Eric Tellef sen and
Reggie Carpenter
Burn Out 9. the annual fund
raising event held by P1 Kappa
Ph1 , will take place on Friday
afternoon, April 12th. Every
year, through the sales of T
shlrts and donations from
fraternities and sororities, we
have been able to make a
donation to the North Carolina
Burn Center of between $1000 to
$2000. In the past a portion of
the money raised has been used
to cover the costs. This year,
though, P1 Kappa Phi has
acquired the sponsorship of
radio station, WZZU, 94Z . They
have agreed to cover the
majority of the costs for the
year's event. What this means
1s that P1 Kappa Phi will be
free to give almost all of the
money made from donations and T
shirt sales to the Burn Center,
which should provide an
approximate contribution of
$5000. This 1s something that
we feel the Pi Kapps, the Greek
system and the student body can
be proud of.
This year's event will feature
the musical talents of Warner
Brothers recording artist
Marshall Crenshaw. In addition
to this first ever national act
will be the third annual
Hawaiian Tropic bikini contest.
Admission 1s free, but we need
your support to make this year's
Burn Out a success. So go to
Johnny T-Sh1rt, buy your Burn
Out shirts and send your
donations to the Pi Kappa Ph1
house so that we can help the
North Carolina Burn Center,' not
Just as a fraternity, but as a
representative of the Greek
system and the entire student
body.

On March 23, Zeta Beta Tau
Fraternity sponsored its 15th
annual "Mile of Pennies"
charity drive for the Ronald
McDonald House. From 9:00
Saturday morning to 5:00 that
evening, ZBT pledges layed a
one-third mile of pennies,
three abreast, down Franklin
Street while brothers and
little sisters exchanged
balloons for contributions with
downtown shoppers.
This year, 1n an effort to
Increase our donation to our
charity, a raffle was
introduced for such prizes as
basketballs signed by the
varsity players, a $120 Seiko
watch, and dinners for -two at
various Chapel Hill
restaurants. Many area
businesses contributed either
raffle prizes or cash donations
1n exchange for advertising
space in the "Mile of Pennies"
pamphlet which was distributed
on Franklin Street.
Other fraternities and
sororities also contributed by
either selling raffle tickets
or by giving cash donations.
The final event in this year's
"Mile of Pennies" was an all
campus party at the ZBT house
featuring the Spongetones. The
top seven raffle winners were
announced during Intermission.
ZBT wishes to thank all who
contributed to made this a very
successful fund-raiser.
