Greek Week planned for good times, information Friday , Sept. 22 The football stadium opened for another Greek event, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon-Chi Omega Circus Feed. Various booths, rented by dorms and Greeks, offered everything from teddy bears, to Dunk-a-Chi-O, to can- dles, to games of Bingo. A dance followed the carnival, featuring the ‘‘Hands of Time’”’ and “’The Exiles.” Saturday, Sept. 23 The first Delta Tau Delta ‘Miss Water- melon Bust’’ was rained out. At an evening dance, featuring ““Trenfield,’’ Charie Pratt, sponsored by Phi Delta Theta, was crowned “‘Miss Watermelon Bust,’’ with Susan Wade, Delta Zeta, first runner-up.

Sunday, Sept. 24 Watermelon Bust games were played as Lambda Chi Alpha and Delta Zeta took first place in the men’s and women’s divi- sion, respectively, while Alpha Tau Omega and Roger’s Hall received second place tro- phies.

Student employment helps combat higher costs College life gave the youth of America a chance to express themselves — in personal- ity, in clothes and in a job. During their four-year vigil toward life in the big, bad, cold world, students scraped, begged, borrowed, mooched, entertained, swiped, sacrificed and honestly earned money for expenses. Jobs ranged from the common seater in the dining service to being a nude model for an artist. Such jobs were obtained through a friend, a counselor, a work-study program or SOS (Society of Services), which placed students in jobs and voluntary work of their liking. ‘Actually, we work the opposite of an employment agency,’’ claimed Dick Williams, president of SOS and one of its first organ- izers. ‘‘We keep a list of students seeking jobs for employers to check when they contact us.” During the average school year, approxi- mately 2535 employed students received a paycheck from the clerks downstairs in the Ad. Building. The average work week was ten hours, and the time put in could accumu- late to give the working student a much- needed and much-worshipped raise.
