his year's Greek Week was an ex- tremely suc- cessful one. Much money was raised for Cerebral Palsy, while at the same time providing entertainment and fun for the Greeks and the non-Greeks alike. We had many new events in which the tumout was fantastic. For the lirst time, two sororities got to- gether with Panhellenic and IFC and hosted the Emory Adonis Contest. The money raised was split three ways -- one-third went to AEO's phi- lanthropy, and one-third went to Tri Delta's philanthropy, and one-third went to Cerebral Palsy. Also new this year was the competition for Dean's Cup points which was kicked off with a dinner at the Sigma Hu house. Points were given to sororities and fratemi- ties for their activities, excluding so- cial and sports events. Furthermore, most fratemities and some sororities A - A l' '-,Q -f - .T v, v, ,Y -5. . ,.-W,,,-! ,,-Ms,-J V.7...., 1 f- ' ,, , 1 J ,Nfl W' Cf..- CJ- -Cf .4 ---,,-AK.g ....i.,',.-- participated in the Greek Week pa- rade by driving and riding on floats around campus. On Tuesday night an all Greek chapter was held with a guest speaker, Chuck Dowdle. There were also old events that were im- proved. This years' camival was the biggest, with professional booths headed by Greeks. Some of the booths included a dunking booth, a ring toss, and cotton candy and candy apples. The traditional events includ- ed a crest drawing in front of Cox Hall and a Blood Drive. Without the work- ing together of Panhellenic and lFC, and without the help of Greek Life's new Director and Coordinator, Martha Wisley and Scott Nathanson, Greek Week could not have been as suc- cessful as it was this year.

While the Carter Center began in 1982, it moved into its present loca- tion at the Presidential Center in the fall of 1986. The center also houses the Carter Museum and Library, the oflice of the former President, the Task Force for Child Survival, Global 2000, and the Carter-Menil Human Rights Foundation. Many professors and fellows used the facilities for projects. Dr. Ellen Mickiewicz of the political science de- partment used the center to help monitor Soviet television. The geo- graphical location of Atlanta allows it to receive broadcrasts from the Soviet telecommunications satellite. Anoth- er major project was the Health Risk Appraisal which involved many from the Public Health Program of Emory. The center, with its connections with the Carter-Menil Human Rights Foun- dation, was a great asset to Dr. Thom- as Buergenthal of the Law School. He was a member of the Inter-American Court, a body which usually dealt with issues of human rights. This is the center for research: this is the center for education, said Dr. Steven Hochman, assistant to Presi- dent Carter, in describing the purpose of the CCEU. Not only did the profes- sors take advantage of the facility for reasearch purposes, but students 'U-ii: f' ri MTE' EETIVIEE X I' TT' l.

As college senior, John Wu, said, There are not many universi- ties that have a place like the Carter Center at their service. I think intem- ing here can help me a lot in the future. The CCEU sponsered two major events during the past year. On Plo- vember 16-18, 1987, a Middle East consultation, entitled, A Look to the Future, took place. Among the par- ticipants were representatives fomi Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, China, and the USSR. The second event was Women and the Constitution: A Bi- centennial Perspective in February. It was covened by Rosalyn Carter, Bet- ty Ford, Lady Bird Johnson, and Pat Nixon. Among those featured at the conference were the Honorable San- dra Day O'Conner and Coretta Scott King. Its purpose was to ,discuss the role of women in the constitutional process of the past, present. and the future. The Carter Center of Emory Univer- sity provided exceptional opportuni- ties for the students and faculty of Emory. In the process, the center brought both national and intema- tional attention to the University and complemented its image of growth and progress. Michael Duclos 7 J' 5 i i 1 4
