TAU KAPPA EPSILON appears to have captured the lead in the llliolympic chariot race. Greek Week Combines Seriousness With Fun Greek Week, an annual spring event, is a time to seriously consider the role of the Greek system on campus and to honor the outstanding Greeks. During the week each sorority and fraternity has exchange dinners and an open house. Outstanding Greeks are honored by the selection of Ideal Greeks. One of the outstanding fea- tures of Greek Week is llliolympics, in which many frater- nities and sororities participate. On Saturday afternoon of Greek Week large groups of people gather in the Armory to watch the tug-of-war, in which the fraternities compete against each other, obstacle races, and the chariot races. Bicycle and tricycle races are held later. This year, a street dance was held as the climax to Greek Week, rather than the usual Greek Ball. A COMBINATION of endurance, determination and strong muscles are important factors in the annual tug of war.
