XJ L Who? 20-6 That’s Who © ortheast puts the bite on the dawgs The spark which ingnited the heated annual rivalry with the La. Tech Bulldogs was lit dur- ing the first week of November. A midnight pep rally was held in Malone Stadium. Stu- dents either stayed awake until 12:00 or dragged themselves out of bed to support the Indi- ans. To boost spirit even more, fund-raising activities were tied in with Wreck Tech Week by the Epsilon Mu chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. The fraternity sold plastic cups with drink dis- counts offered by local bars. Proceeds from the sale went to St. Jude’s Children’s Re- search Hospital. “Wreck Tech Week is a great time to promote school spirit,” said TKE member, Bill Ander- son, pharmacy senior. dpa Fades Noo 7” 18 Student Life “Since the celebrity sponsor of St. Jude’s is Danny Thomas, who is a TKE, it is only natural that we raise money for it.” The Lambda Tau chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi held its an- nual Arthiritis Foundation rock-a-thon during Wreck Tech Week. With the theme, “Wreck Tech and Arthritis, too,” mem- bers of the sorority rocked in rocking chairs in front of the SUB for 24 hours to raise mon- ey. “T rocked at 5:00 a.m. It was cold and rainy, but knowing it could benefit those with arthri- tis made it bearable,” said Bar- bie Armstrong, home econom- ics sophomore. “Take a bit of a dawg” was the slogan used by the journal- ism fraternity, Sigma Delta Peter Bradley “Wreck Tech and Arthritis, Too” was the slogan used by sorority AOPi dur- ing the annual rock-a-thon to raise money for their philanthropy.

Cynthia Malsch, news edito- rial senior and president of Sig- ma Delta Chi, said, “We didn’t set out to make a huge profit, but to promote our name on campus and help PRSSA.” During the afternoon before the final showdown on the foot- ball field, NLU and Tech Greeks got together at the Lou- isiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo for the first annual Zoo Games.

: « id e 3 iat As early as the first part of October, weeks before Home- coming weekend on November 1, organizations prepared their multi-colored stationary dis- plays. With limitations of 12 feet high and eight feet around, these displays decorated the campus instead of the floats. The usual parade through the streets of Monroe was cancelled for economic reasons according to Bob Oden, Chamber of Com- merce executive vice president. Don Weems, director of NLU Alumni Affairs and chair- man of the Homecoming Steer- ing Committee, said, “The pur- pose of Homecoming is to get people back to the campus. A lot of people did not want the 20 Student Life parade because it took Home- coming away from the cam- pus.” The final judging of the dis- plays by alumni and faculty re- sulted in Phi Mu sorority re- ceiving first place in the soror- ity division.
