Kampus The great white way is transported to Ferris In- stitute for an evening each spring term as the cam- pus enioys its annual expedition into the world of show business. Kampus Kapers is the occasion. K. K. is produced by a Kampus Kapers Committee composed of representatives from the competing or- ganizations. Eligibility for entry extends to any recognized campus organization but, in the past eight years, only fraternities and sororities have pur- ticipated in the competition. Each participant pre- sents an eight minute show, traditionally top notch. Judging is done by qualified people drawn from various fields such as radio, television, eddcation, ad- ministration, and business. The coveted first-pluce trophy revolves unless an or- ganization is successful in capturing it for three con- secutive years at which time it becomes their perma- nent possession. The 1958 winner was Phi Sigma Chi fraternity with an original, musical show called Life and Laziness.

'lst place, Greek Sing, Sigma Kappa Sigma Sing Greek Sing is co-sponsored by the Interfroternity Council and the Pan Hellenic Council, the two Greek governing bodies on campus. Formerly known as I. F. C. Sing, the name and competitive field were expanded to include both fraternities and sororities. Many hours of preparation precede this song fest and at the final outcome, a truly fine program of choral selections is presented. A panel of iudges, well-trained in musical matters, iudge the organiza- tions on selection of material, originality of perform- ance, and quality of staging. In 1958 the fraternity trophy was presented to Phi Sigma Chi, and the sorority trophy to Sigma Kappa Sigma. Greek sing is open to the public and is a non-profit performance. It is only one of the many events of Greek Week that helps to further the aims and ob- iectives of the fraternal system through mutual co- operation and efforts between the participating or- ganizations. 15 voices and a song
