paper on Hawthorne’s fic

as opposed to a professional
meeting, that made this con
vention exciting for me,”
Aiello says.
Wendy Ford and Nancy
McLawhorn, students, and
Dr. Robert G. Blake, Alpha
Chi chapter sponsor and
president of Region III, also
attended the convention.

Greeks plan competitive weekend
The Greeks of Elon Col

competition on April 9, the
beginning of Greek Week
end.
A committee of two repre
sentatives from each sorority
and fraternity, as well as
two co-presidents and a trea
surer, have prepared a pro
gram of 45 events.
The Greeks will chaUenge
each other at several athletic
events. They will run the
track, dive into the pool,
race in their chariots and
throw eggs at each other.
For non-athletes, a back
gammon contest will be
held. These, however, arc
just a few of the events
planned.
“Greek Weekend is a time
when all the Greeks can
imite in competition and get
unified as a whole for an
enjoyable time,” says Vicki
Shaw, treasurer of the Greek
Weekend Committee.
Each Greek organizaiton
hopes for a successful week
end. Non-Greeks are invited
to attend all the events and
witness what each Greek
member considers one of the
most important weekends of
each year.
