With institutionalized living on the way out and individual things on the way in, the Greeks have spent the last two years removing plaster casts and stretching elastic bandages in an effort to deregiment themselves. They must be doing their job well, because 650 virtuous freshmen descended upon 34th Street for the annual tea parties. The G-men noticed a slight increase in apathy due to the hot weather and CLEP tests, but on the whole the Greeks went marching on. . . and on. . . and on. . . in patriotic' style.

Parents' Weekend On Sept. 25-26, parents of Drake's collegiate clan embarked upon D. U. 'S academic sphere for the annual Par- ents' Weekend. Following last year's grandiose tradition, this year's ac- tivities included a box lunch in the enclosed sports area and a taste of victory fever as Drake doused Louis - ville in the football game of the sea- son. A series of seminars geared to ex- pose Drake life and the Jack Benny benefit symphony rounded out this year's activities. The crowning point of the week- end was the selection of Mr. and Mrs. Omer Roth of Storm Lake as Parents of the Year. The Roths are the parents of Becki Roth, I-4, and Steven Todd Roth, who graduates from Drake's law school this spring. Mrs. Steven Roth graduated last spring and is working for her masters degree from Drake in English. Under the direction of Robert Manthe, secretary of the Parents' Association, this year's Parents' Weekend was a huge success for parents. . . And it should be noted that all daughters and sons survived the ordeal as well. . Career Day Delta Sigma Pi, profession- al business fraternity, scaled down the big outside world of business and fit it into the Women's Gym for Career Day. On October 14, 50 represent- atives from 25 firms answered a barrage of questions from students on a threshold of a dream. For many, this is the first contact with big business, and reportedly questions covered everything from paid vacations to retirement bene- fits. Delta Sigs Don Fritze, Scott Harrington, Bruce Mesnard, Bill Wolf and Jeff Woolley ran the annual event.
