Greek Week It's Great to Be Greek was the theme of last spring's annual Greek Week. The Greek Week Picnic and llliolympics, held in the armory on Saturday afternoon, attracted a good crowd. The events of the llliolympics in- cluded a pie-eating contest and tug-of-war for fraternities and a relay race and obstacle race for sororities. The high point of the day was the tra- ditional chariot race and the parade. Each sorority and fraternity sponsored an Open House for the public. The Outstanding Greek Con- test and Greek Week Dance climaxed the week. College Bowl, an academic contest introduced by Greek Week Chairman Ray Ropp and Glenna Mid- dleton, proved to be one of the week's most popular events. THESE BOYS SEEM to be enjoying the tug-of-war.
