GREEKS SPOTLIGHT SOCIAL LIFE 44. ' ll in The Tau Kappa- Epsilon bell, Diane, provides excitement making noise at Central sports events. - Greek activities are not always a great deal of fun, like when the car stalls. But every- one can be sure, even in this situation, the Greeks will give a united push. Organizing the students into clearly defined groups for the furtherance of the social and academic lives is the job of the ten Central State Greek organizations. With activities ranging from turtle races to charity drives, these groups add some ot the traditional col- legiate flavor to the campus lite. As Central grows and the student demand for more social contact grows, the number and quality of the Greek system will expand. Already large quality- wise, the Greeks welcomed a new national fraternity, Acacia, to the Greek 'Folds which already included Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta, Sigma Kappa, and Sigma Sigma Sigma sororities and Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha Psi, Sigma Tau Gamma, and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternities. ci. gf' 3 if , L l-lll l f - -. 2' L l fi ft ' 3: 1 ll?

No matter where the class is held or under what I N circumstances, it is held forthe student to learn. At Central class space is so important that when a i new building is constructed to house a department, the old building is never torn down. lt is always renovated to give E I more space to other departments and meet the growing , needs. ll l X. l Drum maior Gary Green leads the maneuvers that the Broncho band learned during their marching lab.

Sometimes, the word rush is an understatement when the student has to travel from one side ofthe campus to the other. 9 .gt

l t l J,- o'ri-IER e.RouPs ADD coi.oR , Greek or independent, the word social plays an important part in every student's lite. l Whatever the individual's definition of social is, it can be found around Central's campus. Both Greeks and independents organize and sponsor dances which may celebrate anything from Sadie Hawkins Day to Christmas. Vtlith activities'such as guest speakers, dramatic productions and carni- vals, the non-dancers find means to express their social wants. 1 The question is often asked, How much social, how much aca- demic? At Central the students are told to augment their academic lives with social activities, not to augment their social activities with their academie pursuits. Folk singers provided students with outstanding folk music during weekly hootenannies. The Central State players gave students an evening similar to that spent by the Greeks almost two thousand years ago with their presentation of Antigone.
