If a visitor passed Nicholls and contin- ued on Louisiana Highway IF l, he would come to a large house facing the bayou, This particular house is the center of activity for Delta Sigma Phi. During the fall, pre-game parties were held to send spirited supporters to foot- ball games. The Epsilon Upsilon chapter were also spirited enough to take first place in the Miller Pick'em Up Program. The fraternity collected the most re- cyclable Miller cans and bottles in the fall semester. During Homecoming Week, Delta Sigs put together a display entitled Damn the Demons depicting a Colonel casting out Delta Sigs pick up most in Miller Contest Sigs started a close race with Tau Kappa Epsilon for the title in the fraternity divi- sion, but fell short, taking fifth place. In crowded Peltier Auditorium, the fra- ternity heard the names of two members nominated for Greek God: Danny Cabolero and Terry Breaux, a Northwestern Demon. ln intramural sports, playoff titles were close, as they finished third in football and fourth in basketball.
