VOTE FOR ISSUE 3!! This was the cry as CCC students and faculty participated in the campaign for a one mill levy tax to provide operating funds for the new campus . Speeches were given, miles were walked and tons of literature were passed out in a few short weeks. Highlighting student participa­tion was a parade which blocked traffic in downtown Cleveland. When all was said and done, the levy passed! Students took a short, quick breath and then were thrown into semester mid­terms .

GREEK WEEK

Greek Week, 68, became the action-packed week of the year, a potpurri of talent, comedy, and fellowship through activity.

Theme Day found the Greeks in various costumes representing the wild, western plains, the romantic isles of the Pacific, the old days of the Bonnie and Clyde era, and even our own back door on Bolivar Street.

The box lunch sale offered home baked goodies to the highest bidder. (We' re not sure whether the motivation was hunger or curiosity, or both, but the lunches sold in record time.)

Competition was strong as the groups participated in the bed races, softball, and the pie eating contest. Greeks were represented well as they placed in the col­lege annual variety show.

As a climax to the week, Jack McNamara ana Linda Branzel were crowned Greek King and Queen at the Greek Ball in the Royal Oak Room at the Cleve­land Shereton Hotel. As a result of the weeks activities, Beta Alpha and Sigma Tau Alpha tied as outstanding fraternity of the year, and Beta Gamma was named outstanding sorority.

Captain Steve Drotleff checks his swing .. . The Cougars seem quite distressed as one of the seven games that were rained out this year is called.

As Coach Dave Starrett said at the awards banquet, Ulysses didn't have any­thing on his team when it comes to bad weather.

The Cougar varsity had games called off and postponed for high winds, hail, too cold, and more often than not, rain. However, led by team captains Frank Udovic and Whitey Drotleff, the hardballers still compiled a fine 7-4 win-loss record.
