Jokes, even talent, mark show
No, "Greek Talent Show" is not a
contradiction in terms.
Song and dance acts by University
fraternities and sororities proved that
Thursday evening before an enthu
siastic — and partisan — audience of
500 in the EMU Ballroom.
The show’s variety ranged from solo
guitar players to a wild Dixieland band
from Sigma Nu fraternity that conclud
ed its performance with a
show-stopping march into the audi
ence.
Between acts, emcee Todd Ruberg
kept the show rolling with wisecracks
about the Emerald.
First place in the sorority competition
went to Alpha Chi Omega who
performed a dance from West Side
Story. Kappa Alpha Theta captured
second place and Kappa Kappa
Gamma took third place.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon won first place
in the fraternity competition with their
Bluegrass Band. Sigma Nu took second
place and Sigma Phi Epsilon won third.
Sponsored by the Interfraternity
Council and Panhellenic, the show's
purpose was twofold. The winners won
points as part of the week-long 'Greek
Week" competition, while proceeds
from the 50-cent admissions are to be
donated to the library.

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity fiddled around Thursday night - and walked
away with top honors at the annual Greek Talent Show. The fraternity captured first
place with their foot-stomping Bluegrass Band (below). The band was led by
banjo-picker Chris Foote, who let loose with a hat-waving yahoo (above).
Budget approval would cut EMU events
Music, films, speeches would suffer

University students will come
back next year to a dirtier EMU
with fewer services if the
Incidental Fee Committee's
budget gains administration ap
proval, according to a budget
projection presented Thursday.
The EMU Board Budget
Committee predicted the fee
budget would force the elimina
tion of three custodial positions
and the elimination or reduction
of many programs.
Under the IFC's recommen
dation, "students wouldn't get
as much for their fee dollars,"
EMU Director Adell McMillan
says. The budget would mean
fewer speeches, workshops and
films, according to the projec
tion.
Several EMU programs were
listed as possible reductions in
the projection.
The Cultural Forum would
receive the largest cut in the
program — $7,110. According to
the projection, the cut would
mean fewer speeches, films,
literature programs, concerts,
Wednesday jazz shows and
fewer terrace dances.
The forum’s Special Events
Calendar, Christmas Craft Faire,
program workshops and free
film list printed each term also
would be eliminated
The Outdoor Program would
have to cut $1,768 from its
$15,480 fee budget, according
to the projection This would
eliminate on-campus bike pro
grams, all boating, rafting and
kayaking instruction and the
program’s newsletter, “Free
Country Times,” which has a
circulation of over 5,000, the
projection says.
Lists of possible budget items
for reduction or elimination
were not submitted by the Craft
Center and the Club Sports
programs. However, both pro
grams mentioned general
methods they would use to meet
the IFC's requirements.
Club sports will cut 10 percent
of its budget by cutting 10
percent from each program,
according to their projection.
The craft center would be
forced to cut 420 hours of staff
ing to meet the incidental fee
allocation, its letter says.

The EMU Cultural Forum — sponsors of concerts by the likes of
Jackson Browne — may face a $7,000 cut if IFC budget
recommendations are adopted.
