Phi Gam Jam benefit pleases crowd
By Timothy J. O'Keefe
If crowd reaction is any indication of a good concert,
Sunday's Phi Gam Jam was a smashing success. More than
2,200 people weathered the three-hour rain delay and
the concert move to the Coliseum to hear the Star City
Players, Footloose and Dash Riprock.
The Star City Players opened the afternoon with some
good melodies and dancing music, such as Quarterflash's
"Find Another Fool" and the Motel's "Only the Lonely."
Paul Phillips, a local singer, kept the show moving
between the sets, which were played as a benefit for the
United Way.
Next came Footloose, who played their local hit song
"Wichita Woman," as well as some new tunes. Their
rendition of Asia's "Only Time Will Tell" brought the
crowd to its feet, and their show ended with Lynyrd
Skynyrd's "Freebird." Footloose then was cheered back
on stage for two encores, which included 38 Special's
"Hold on Loosely."
"The Human Hurricane," Dash Riprock, ended the
show with an electrifying performance. Opening with
Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman," the group pounded
through many rock V roll hits, including "Takin' Care of
Business" and "Smoke on the Water."

George Fotoplos
Restaurant features
authentic Greek food
By Eric Peterson
"It's the only type of work he enjoys," said
Margaret Fotoplos about her father's week-old business
at 112 N. 14th St. The specialty of George's Greek
Gyros (eeros, and roll and. r) are strongly spiced and
very thin slices of beef on pita bread - with onions,
tomatoes, cucumbers and sour cream. And oregano on
top - "Never forget the oregano," Margaret said and
laughed.
George and Demetra Fotoplos said they opened the
place in Lincoln because Omaha already has six or
seven Greek specialty shops. Margaret has done a lot of
the cash register work, as her parents speak better.
Greek than English.
George closed his restaurant in Athens and came to
Omaha two years ago, since most of the family was al
ready there. There was no question the couple would
open a restaurant, and to Lincoln's good luck, they did
it here.
It's fairly cheap. The gyros sandwich alone is $2.25,
and the plate, with some feta cheese and Mediterranean
olives, costs $2.50. "Steak fries" is too tiresome a
name for the thick, beautifully textured potato slices
baked in lemon and oil that you get with the gyros -or
separately for 70 cents.
For a quarter you get baklava. If you haven't had it
before, I can tell you it's one of the richest and best
things I know - wonderfully thin, delicate flakes of
pastry, oozing honey and walnuts.
George said more dishes will be added later, depend
ing on how much people like them. This week, for ex
ample, there will be souvlakia, a kind of pork shish
kebab. He said business has been very good.
