Greeks put on Olympic affair
Encouraged by exuberant supporters, Tim
Friday's Greek Week games.
By Jeff Pribble
Contributing Writer
Athena and Apollo were not involved,
and Atlas was carrying another planet.
Although the Greek pantheon was absent,
at least 350 people took part in Fall 1986
Greek Week.
Sigma Chi president John Peters said
the last Greek Week was cancelled due to
a "lack of organization." This year, co-
coordinators Lisa Hubbell (Delta Gamma)
and Cary Hayward (Lambda Chi Alpha)
got the Wheels turning in the right
direction.
"The week went real well for the people
in attendance," said Hubbell. who went
on to describe games day. "There were no
problems with the school and the week
seemed to progress well. There were over
350 people in attendance earlier in the
day." y
From the outset, the Lampda Chi Alpha-
Kappa Alpha Theta team controlled the
"athletic" events, while the Greek masses
had no problem controlling the keg flow.
After a sizzling performance, egg-toss
winners Lamda Chi Alpha-Kappa Alpha
Theta dominated the volleyball compe-
titon. A sidewalk through the court roused
some complaints, and the water-hose
boundaries were hardly U.S. Volleyball
Association regulation. Rachel Mour-
ad of Delta Gamma called the court "sort
of jungly." Still, Lamda Chi members
Craig Duncan and Don Fraser had no
problem slamming some vicious kills.
Lambda Chi Alpha/ Kappa Alpha Theta
did not coast to victory. The FIJI/Theta
Chi/Delta Gamma team fought hard in
the finals. FIJI member Dave Brager,
playing with a fractured left hand, killed a
few shots of bis own. Phil Ivancovich, a
FIJI, said, "This game's a blast. You're
looking at the FUl/Theta Chi/Delta
Gamma dream team."The FIJI contingent
gave a pickup truck suspension a serious,
jostling as they cheered for their team.

Tony Otmos/ The Daily Collegian
Hahn of the FIJI Theta Chi/Delta Gamma team struggles to prevent his side from losing tbe Tug-O-War match during last
as Lambda Chi Alpha/ Kappa Alpha Theta
emerged victorious again. One Lambda
Chi member said. "Winning volleyball
makes my heart pound like the beat of a
distant drum."
,TIn Greek Week, everybody forgets the
rivalries," said Mitch Bozner of Delta
Upsilon. The Alpha Gamma Rho/Delta
Upsilon/ Delta Zeta team pulled to victory
in the Tug-O-War competition at the
Theta Chi house.
One notable competition was the
balloon squish. A balloon, slightly below
capacity, is placed between a couple'and
the pair squeeze until it pops. Krista Price
of Phi Mu said, "To win the Balloon
squish, you need a flat chest and lots of
practice."
The Sigma Chi/ Pi Kappa Alpha/ Kappa
Kappa Gamma team came out on top.
Sigma Chi president John Peters and
Kappa Kappa Gamma member Dawna
Weller squeezed to victorv. Contradicting
Price, Weller said, "It's all in the hips."
I.he tinal event ol tne day was tne oreek
sing. Members of the various teams
gathered on the Alpha Xi Delta stage for a
chorus of song in accordance with"Puttin'
on the Hits." Songs ranged from Sigma
Chi/Pi Kappa Alpha/ Kappa Kappa
Gamma's Greek version of "Fun, Fun,
Fun," to the winning Lambda Chi
Alpha/Kappa Alpha Theta musical satire
of "Grease." One Sigma Chi member
called the extravaganza "belligerency in
action." Delta Gamma member Karin
Steiner concluded, "The Delta Gamma
team may take second place, but everybody
had full-force enthusiasm."
From the Progressive Dinner, which
Hubbell called "packed." the festivities
continued'into Saturday with an awards
ceremony, a tailgate party, and a proces¬
sion to the FSU-New Mexico State
football game. ,
Greek Week raised an estimated $750
for Comprehensive Youth Services. Co-
coordinator Hayward. in review of thc
week said. "I might seemed biased, but I
thought the week went excellent. The
weather was great...we took a risk in.
having certain,things outside. Next year
we'll be able to use campus facilities, so I
think that Greek Week is here to stay."
