GREEK . Greeks at Central State comprise a mere four percent of the student population - a little startling when compared to the mam- moth Greek' systems of our fellow state uni- versities, OU and OSU. Nonetheless, the system at CSU is small yetstrong, with sev- en men's fraternities and the same number of women's sororities. CSU's greek system prides itself on being a learning experience for those involved. With scholastic as well as participation re- quirements, Greek organizations give those involved definite guidelines and responsibil- ities to assume. Each group has its own way of building character and teaching members how to deal with others in various settings. Granted, Greek life is not for everyone, but, at CSU those who have given the sys- tem a chance have ended up loving it.

Career Day '84 Career Day, which began in 1981 in its present format, continues to grow in terms of attendance and importance to the student body and participating organizations. According to Career Day Chairman David Landrum, it is vitally important for business organizations to be aware of the diversity of talent and high level of preparation existing in the CSU graduating class. Landrum be- lieves that Career Day has served to make the business community more awaregof CSU as a source of employees. Sponsored by the College of Business, Career Day provided a forum in which stu- dents could come armed with vitae and self- confidence and make contact with a large number of organizations. This year 70 organizations from the public and private sectors were on hand to ac- quaint the approximately 3,500 students and other visitors with the nature ot their work and to discuss possible employment opportunities To accommodate the event, the third and fourth floors of the University Center were reserved for exhibit and hospi- tality rooms. Student reactions to the event were var- ied but generally favorable. Most comment' ed that it was a very convenient way to make contact with a large number of organi- zations, Also, the general assessment seemed to be that about 75 percent of the organizations were actively recruiting. This figure is up considerably from the past two I l years, Randy Ice, a new member in the College of Business, observed that Career Day was a definite improvement over events at other, presumably more prestigious, universities. A buffet style luncheon, attended by al- most 5O0 people, was held in the third floor ballroom. Entertainment at the luncheon was provided by CSU's Dixieland Band The New Civilized Tribe , directed by Dr. Kent Kidwell. The luncheon provided a fo- rum for the recognition of five distinguished alumni of CSU. They were Michael W. An- derson, Eddie J. Marcum, Bill Strong, Janice Knecht McCormick and Thomas Procopio.
