tepping out takes on a new
.meaning when the Black
'Greek Council decides to put
9n a stepshow.
( A few weeks ago, the council held
ifs annual All Greek Stepshow, with
Seven black Greek organizations car
iying on the step tradition, which
represents fraternity loyalty and
entertains those who view the per
formance as well.
t "Stepping is a good way of getting
together and having a good time,"
says Phillip Graham, a member of
Omega Psi Phi fraternity. "It's
something to give to the public."

Student Government
recruits volunteers
for employment service
By CHARLA PRICE

In an effort to aid students
looking for part-time jobs, Stu
dent Government is trying to
reorganize the Student Part-Time
Employment Service (SPTES),
according to Erika Birg, co
chairman of the Student Job
Creation Committee.
Since the SPTES student direc
tor resigned recently, the program
is in danger of being dissolved. To
keep that from happening, the
committee is recruiting student
volunteers.
If the number of applications
for the director and staff positions
is low, Birg said she and co
chairman Steve Tepper will
recommend that the program be
dissolved.
SPTES acts as a bridge between
employers and students searching

participate in the stepshow in the
fall. The proceeds from this event go
to the United Negro College Fund.
In addition, each organization has
its own stepshow in the spring,
which is open to the general public.
"Stepping in the spring is a lot dif
ferent," says Zeta Phi Beta member
Carla Marlin. "The shows are much
longer, lasting about one and a half
to two hours. Also, the shows in the
spring are a lot more competitive
between the sororities."
"We step at our semiformal ball,
and there's a district stepshow
between the different chapters of
Omega Psi Phi," Graham says.
"We also step in the summer for
Project Uplift," says Kappa Alpha
for part-time jobs. The service is
free to both employers and stu
dents, Birg said.
"SPTES offers a valuable ser
vice in that it allows employers a
place to list jobs and gives students
one place to look for a job without
all of the legwork," she said.
Many of the jobs listed with
SPTES are campus or local jobs
geared to students, Birg said.
So far, Birg said she has received
only three applications, but she
hopes student interest will increase
so SPTES can continue operating.
"I would like to see SPTES
continued," said Birg. "It is a good
program for those students look
ing for job."
Anyone interested in SPTES
should contact Birg or Tepper in
the Student Government office in
the Student Union before Nov. 3.

Psi member Cleveland Lewis. "Most
of the fraternities do this."
Stepshows originated at the start
of the century, with the formation of
the fraternities. They were primarily
a form of entertainment. The shows
have remained a strong tradition in
most organizations. Each chapter
decides if they want to step or not,
but most decide they want to.
"It was a way to display them
selves," says Lewis. "When you step,
you tell the world, 4hey, look at us.'
It's fun."
A lot of work and rehearsal goes
into preparing a stepshow. Most
organizations start practicing a cou
ple of months before the big step-;
shows in the spring.
"Preparing for a stepshow is time-

consuming," says Marlin. There V
so much practicing, and you do it
over months. I really enjoy it when I
have the time."
Each of the longer stepshows has
two halves. The first half is designed
to show skill and precision. After an
intermission, the second half focuses
on "cracking," in which the organi
zations get a bit more competitive.
"Cracking is done to amuse the
audience, and it's all in fun," says
Marlin. "And sororities don't deal
with fraternities, or fraternities with
sororities." i '
Each of the organizations has
their own distinct style of stepping
and reputation. The creation of the
dances usually involves some tradi
tional steps, steps obtained from
keting manager for McDonald's.
The 14-year-old store is being
remodeled under the fast-food chain's
Operation Pride program, which
continuously upgrades and improves
the older stores, Eschbach said.
All inside areas of the store will
be improved.
The kitchen will be upgraded with
sive, fast Mexican food to Chapel
Hill's repertoire of culinary delights
since the restaurant chain announced
late last year , that it would open a
store here.
"We know a lot of the students are
interested," Driscoll said. "We want
to get the word out to other people
in town." :
The Chapel Hill store will seat
more than 100 people, the largest
seating capacity of any Taco Bell in
the Southeast, and will have 2,400
square feet of operating space.

steps don't involve any chants.'
"The guys step a little differently
because they are more physical, and
do more hitting," says Marlin.
"Women are also not quite as sug
gestive. We try to keep up a lady
like composure."
"Stepping can get kind of nasty,"
says Graham. "It involves precision,
and a lot of the steps involve a lot of
gyrating."
Whether stepping is for fun or
entertainment, those who step enjoy
the activity.
"Stepping brings togetherness, a
sense of brotherhood. There's a
sense of pride, because if you do it
good, people like it," says Lewis.
The parking lot will be resurfaced,
and if the Chapel Hill Planning Board
gives its approval, the exterior of the
