Thrills and spills

Canoe races and pyramids highlight rainy day

Thrills and spills

Not many people were outside by choice on Tuesday, let alone participating in a canoe race, unless of course they were participating in Greek Week. Tuesday at the Campus Pond, fraternities and sororities competed against one another in two events. Each team of 10 made a 25 yard dash, formed a pyramid where they had to hold position for three seconds then sprinted back toward the finish line in hopes of a victory.

As part of Greek Week's annual festivities, a speech on the importance of unity between fraternities and sororities will be given Wednesday night. The speech is one of many activities being held for Greek Week's unity program. The speaker, Lori Hart Ebert, is an employee of Campuspeak, an agency providing educational speakers and programs for college campuses.

Sit back, kick up your feet and laugh your socks off. "People need to laugh more," Taylor Dall, senior sociology major and Lunchbox Voodoo president said. Recognized Student Organization, Lunchbox Voodoo, was founded by recent Eastern graduate, Drew Reaves, in the fall of 2002.

More than 160 students have volunteered for Panther Service Day, and the number is expected to increase. Student Body President Caleb Judy said he is aiming for 300 volunteers to help in the event, painting houses, cleaning up yards and working at city parks such as Lake Charleston, the bike path and Kiwanis Park on April 24.
