The discussion, following a banquet in Hardy Alumni Hall, centered around the extent to which each organization has contributed and can continue to contribute to the total campus community. Each organizational representative was asked by President Doster, who presided over the session, to describe how their organization contributed. After an hour long session, the concensus seemed to be that each organization was at tempting to strengthen itself while striving for a better student awareness of its pur poses and priorities. When asked by Doster to give advice con cerning what the priorities of the president should be in these matters in the coming year, the response was almost unanimous — greater student unity. Suggestions were made for leadership conferences, organizational fairs, and various other activities, especially those in which Freshmen might be more effectively to the various organizations. The desire for a more congenial relationshp among Greek and non-Greek students received special at tention from the leaders present at the conference. Suggestions for effecting a better un- 1 Covetted trophy Roes to best of (ireeks. photo by Peter Chamness derstanding were offered and discussed. In line up this, it was urged that leaders try to co ordinate their activities more effectively and to realize that the student’s main responsibility is to scholastics. Leaders should remember to evaluate past procedures and thereby plan present activites more ef fectively. DoSter closed the meeting by thanking all those in attendance.

Well, we don’t know. But, wedoknow who won which events during Greek Week, the week when the fraternities and sororities compete among themselves to build up their common goal of brotherhood (excuse the sexist language.). The first three days of Greek Week were rather uneventful. Monday was Jersey Day, Tuesday was Dress-Up Day, and Wednesday was Jersey Day again. (I think that next year it might be a good idea to have the Jersey Days spread further apart so that the people wearing them might wash them.) The climax of the first half of the week was the poorly at tended basketball game played by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Society. Thanks to some miraculous foul shooting by the women during the final two minutes of the game, the score was deadlocked at the end of regulation time. The men seemed to be hampered only a little by having their legs tied together and thoroughly outclassed the women by using “teamwork” to allow players to “slam-dunk” the ball. Because the Gym was being locked the teams were not allowed to play an overtime period, so the game remained in a tie. Runnoff Results Following the runoff of April 12 and 13, the Junior Class had a full slate of officers; however, the Senior and Sophomore Classes have offices to be filled. Kathy Whitehurst was elected Senator-at-large of the Junior Class. Beth Perkins was elected Vice-President of the Senior Class, but there will be a runoff for two Senators-at-large among the following: Ron Anderson, David Betts, SuzieCooper, Janet O’Henry Daniels, Linda George, Gary Hall, and Lou Smith. The Sophomore Class chose John Clyburn. Gregory Dozier, and Dee Waters to represent it on the Student Senate. Secretary- Treasurer of the Sophomore Class remains an open office. Those who were in the audience during Creek Sing will attest that the judges must have had a hard time picking which sorority had the best per formance. All three sororities made an excellent contribution to the program, but the Delta Zetas got the lop honors by showing the audience •'How the West Was Won. " It seems to this most prejudiced writer that the judges had a somewhat easier time in picking out the best performance by a fraternity. Delta Sigma Phi won the fraternity division of (ireek Sing with their performance of “Songs From South I'acific" All of the sororities were well polished and most of the fraternities had evidently spent many hours in practice. Saturday, Toisnot Park must have lesembled Pandemonium. There were people climbing on top of each other's backs. People had their extremities lied together. Brother was throwing egg at brother and men were being glutinous with saltine crackers. This scene, which could resemble Dante's Inferno if we had a little imagination, is known as Greek Activities Day. Here, fraternities and sororities compete in such activitit's as building pyramids out of human bodies, an event won by the Delta Sigs and the Delta Zetas. Other events included a throe legged race, won by the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity and the Delta Zeta sorority: an egg toss, won by Delta Sigma Phi and the Tri-Sigs; a wheel barrow race won by the DZs; a cracker eating contest, won by Sigma Phi Epsilon; a suitcase relay, won by F^hi .Mu; and a tug-of- war. won by the Activities Day champions, Delta Sigma Phi and Delta Zeta. This was the second consecutive year that the fraternity division has been won by Delta Sigma Phi and the eighth year, overall, that the sorority division has been won by the Delta Zeta s. .Many people think that these two activities are all that take place during Greek Week, but they aren't.
