PHI Missouri Mu Sigma KAPTIONS Plii l :i|)p:i Tlu ' la Norlhcasl MiKsoui ' i Sliilc ColU-fic- Kirksvilk ' , IVIissouri Vol I June 2, IQ7C No I Scholastic Points Up This Year This has been quite a year for the fraternity, scholastic- ally speaking. The fratendty overall grade point this year was upped two tenths of a point to a respectable 2.1j2. The high point of this years scholastic achievement was the first place finish in the Blue Key sponsored Campus Bowl. Mu Sigma defeated such teams as: Circle K, Historical Society, Phi Sigma Epsilon, last years champion-Alpha Kappa Lambda, and the Veterans Club in the finals. The team consisted of: Captain Kent Harshbarger, John Koenig, Dwight Cook, Mike Fry- er, and Bob Michael alternate. Dwight Cook was selected to the all-star team having the second highest score of the 110 par- ticipants. John Koenig was the alternate to the all-star team being the fifth highest scorer in the competition. The trophy is the perfect culm nation of a great year. Mu Sijiiiia (-apliire Fiisl Place 69-70 The Brothers of Mu 3igraa started the 1969-70 school year off in a traditional Phi Kap manner with a stunning victory. The Phi Kaps took first place in the second annual 3reek . ' iing After placing second in the 1968-69 sing, the men were de- termined to bring the traveling trophy to the Phi Kap chapter room. Winning the Greek sing was the crowning event of a successful Greek Week for the Phi Kaps. Following a torch- light parade, the brothers gave a supreme effort in the Greek Olympics, but the gods did not seem to be smiling on us thai night. Dwight Cook and his partner, however, did win first place in the egg throw. Every- body always toew Dwight had soft hands anyway, Greek Week was topped off with the brothers attending the Lincoln U.- N.M.S.C. football game . Although the game ended in a tie, the brothers evening was still a success as they at- tended an All-Greek dance in the Student Union, ' selected as king and queen of Greek Week were Carroll Tankesley of Sigma Sigma Sigma and Ken Bebermeyer of Phi Sigma Epsilon. Ill the brothers enjoyed this years Greek Week and are looking for- ward to another next fall. New Fraternity House Purchased One of the big highlights of the year was the purchase of the new house. This ia tbe first house to be owned bjf the chapter and represents one of the goals for which the chapter has been working. The house was purchased by the chapter ill March and was ready for occupancy by the end of March. Some remodeling has been done and much is being planned. A very attractive T.V. room has been added in the basement. This summer, work has to be done on the upstairs floor. Next year, there are plans of moving the complete kitchen and dining room to the basement. Fourteen members and our housefather are currently liv- ing in the house. Unfortunately, however, this transaction has created a fi- nancial burden on the active c lapter. Therefore, any con- tributions by you, the Alumni, would be greatly appreciated, ' ' ' he number of improvements we are able to make on our house will depend on your contribu — tions.
