It may be Greek to students living in residence balls
and off-campus living units, but it isn't to those living in
sorority and fraternity houses.
It is the fourth annual Greek Week, April 4 to 9, in
which Greeks will be involved in six days of exchange
dinners and speakers, topped off with Thursday night's
Trivia Bowl finals.
Interfraternity Council (IFC) president Doug Kristen
sen said Greek Week's purpose is "to get the Greeks to
gether for a week of concentrated activity
A junior political science major from Minden, Kris
tensen said houses can do more together than individually
and Greek Week encourages interaction between houses.
Activity organization originated with the Panhellenic
and IFC, he said.
The week's activities begin Sunday at 5 pjn. at the
Alpha Xi Delta sorority with a reception for Gov. J.
James Exon, Lincoln Mayor Helen Boosalis, members of
the NU Board of Regents and UNL administrators, said
Jayne Anderson, coordinator of sororities, fraternities and
cooperatives. She said she is unsure of which regents and
administrators will attend the reception.
Exon and Boosalis are scheduled to read a proclama
tion designating April 4 to 9 "Greek Week"at UNL, she
said.
Also scheduled Sunday are five skits and five traveler's
acts which will provide Greek Follies entertainment in the
NU Coliseum at 7 p jn.
Kathy Cawley, Greek Follies chairman and member of
Alpha Chi Omega, said the skits, based on a Bicentennial
theme are: "The Spirit of 76"; "The Mighty Mississippi";
"Gold in Them There HIs"; "Taming the West", and
-The Gang's All Here."
Three fraternities and two sororities are involved in
each skit and individuals and groups will perform the
traveler's act, she said. .
UNL assistant football coach George Darlington and
Panhellenic delegates will emcee the performance, said
Cawley, a speech major from Carroll, Iowa.
Skit judges are Kathy Campbell, a Lincoln resident and
former Follies adviser; Leta Powell Drake, KOLN-TV
announcer; and Aleen Swofford, UNL women's athletic
director, she said.
Traveler's act judges
Judges for the traveler's acts are Dick Bhink, president
of Innocents; Chris Evans, president of Mortar Board, and
Robert Sandberg, vice-president of the University of Ne
braska Foundation.
Week-long living exchanges involving two members
from each house begin Monday, according to Kristi
Schlegel, Alpha Delta Pi member and a home economics
junior from Culbertson.
Exchange dinners between houses also will be Monday,
Mike Piccolo, Alpha Tau Omega member and dinner ex
change committee chairman said.
Piccolo, a junior business major from North Platte, said
nine state senators and several faculty members will speak
at different houses following dinner.
Tuesday night is the All-Greek Fast with proceeds from
regularly-scheduled meals going to Nebraska Services for
Crippled Children, said Pete Whitted, IFC-Panhellenic
graduate assistant.
Whitted is an Omaha senior in law school.
Bcb Devaney, emcee
Thursday night's Trivia Bowl finals, cmceed by UNL
Athletic Director Bob Devaney, will be a three-way match
between Phi Kappa Pa, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and a
Jurist-Jaw student team.
The jurist-law team, last year's trivia bowl winners,
has an 1 1-0 record this year.
Scorekeeper of the finals in the Union Ballroom win be
Regent Edward Schwartzkopf, and Jay Davis, women's
sports information director, will be timer, Matzke said.
Headaches are
par for course
in computer war
On your marks. . .get set. . .program!
"I don't know why people like to do this. It's a big
headache. . .but it's kind of a good one," said Dan
Cor kill, one of last year's programming team members,
of the Second Annual Nebraska Programming Contest.
This year's competition, sponsored by Upsilon Pi
Epsilon national computer science honorary, will be
Saturday from 9 ajn. until noon in Ferguson Hall 21.
The purpose is to select a team of four programmers
to represent Nebraska at the .North Central Regional
Programming Championship at the University of
Klcsouri at Rolla April 17.
Any graduate or undergraduate student can partici
pate if he has no more than summer work experience
in professional programming, according to computer
science instructor J. Richard Newman.
"It's a wide open contest," Newman said. "Last
year we had engineering and physics majors compete. '
We'd be happy to have any non-computer science
majors."
Last year's team placed fifth in a field of 25 at the
regionals, behind Washington University, Michigan
State University, the University of Notre Dame, and
University of Missouri at Rolla.
Team members were computer science graduate
students CorkCl of Omaha, Terry Weymouth of
Lincoln and Sharad Wagle, of Bombay, India. Also on
the team was Duane Mauler, from fleasanton, who
graduated with a BA. in computer science lasi year.
CorkiH said last year's teams were given problems on
- timing traffic lights and programming an automatic
change maker with the FORTRAN computer cards.
"Accuracy is important," he said, adding that each
team can run the problem through the computer only
20 times before being penalized.
CorkiU said the contests are not geared for
spectators.
"The only thing that might be interesting is to see
raw frustration," he said.
