0 ?6ut4 c noM ke t e ( 26 asiCe E stablished in 1965, The Head-of- the-Charles Regatta has gained in popularity year after year, and on this exceptionally warm autumn day, thousands of spectators lined the banks of the Charles to watch the twenty-sec¬ ond annual boat race. Patterned after a famous and success¬ ful English regatta, the Head , as it has come to be known, integrates college, school and rowing in a festive yet com¬ petitive way. Our own WPI Mens ' and Womens ' Crew Teams have been com¬ peting strongly for the past few years against teams from all over the United States and Europe. Many WPI students streamed into Cambridge, not only to support our team in the largest North American regatta, but also to join in an extensive party along the banks. There was an air of excitement and laughter; the vibrant foliage and the sea of students ' sweaters and sweatshirts made this regatta one of New England ' s most colorful and memorable events. 10 Head-of-the-Charles

A t the beginning of A-term, the Inter-Fraternity Council and the Panhellanic Association co¬ sponsored a “Greek Weekend . On Fri¬ day night there was a lip sync contest and on Saturday there were a large vari¬ ety of quad activities. Each fraternity and sorority took charge of making a booth which would be run by members of different fraternities and sororities in order to promote Greek unity. Other entertainment provided, with the help of SOCCOM, included a palm reader, a caricaturist and a juggler. There was also a cookout and of course what everyone needs on a sunny day, you guessed it, ice cream - what else?? Robin Dzialo participates in dart-throwing, one of the many activities on the quad. 12 Greek Weekend
