Greek Publications. 1.http://thekeep.eiu.edu/greek_pubs/1Once again, the active chapter is making preparations for this falls North American Food Drive. This year's food drive is planned for November 1st. The great success of last year's food drive; which raised nearly 5,000 pounds, has prompted the chapter to set a goal of 10,000 Ibs. for this year. Phi-Alpha Zeta can easily accomplish this goal with the implementation of the Watermelon Fest as well as some other special event planning. One idea we thought would raise poundage would be asking the alumni, that were coming down for Homecoming, to bring extra cans, a lot of cans, to the Home-coming activities. This would easily add to the cans collected with some simple effort. If any alumni would have contacts with some sponsors that would be interested in sponsoring Phi-Alpha Zeta's efforts they Greek Week 1 997 The past 5 years things had been pre ltv hard for me and J have been struggling finanCial and mentally.

At the end of the week all our hard work paid off as we finished second overall and won the Big Wheel Race and Pyramids. We finished second in Volleyball, third in Ca-noes, and third in Airband. All in all it was a great week for Phi Alpha Zeta! ~ Lets see it has been so long sInce most people have heard from me. J finished college at Western State College which is in Gunnison, Colorado. Since then J have trav-elled throughout Europe, and the L'nited States before settling down for another won-derful season of skiing in Crested Butte, Colorado.

It is great to see the dedication and hard work, not to mention time, he has put forth. (Continued on page 12) One of the goals of the Vice-President of Programming is to coordinate year round activities for Phi-Alpha alumni and their families, as an opportunity to socialize and further our education beyond the college walls. Wanted: Assistance: St. Louis and Peoria (maybe even Spring-field) area activities coordinators to assist me in the planning of events for Phi-Alpha alumni and their families in their areas. Responsibilities would include, but are not limited to: • Coordinating with Vice-President of Pub-lications (Mike Mahoney) to inform alumni member of activities. • Setting a meeting place for event. • Coordinating the activity itself. • Taking pictures of events for Mahoney. This can be done through the Publications Committee. Ideas: In addition to Homecoming, alumni event IDEAS include (and are open for sugges-tion) • Air and Water Show - Chicago • Cubs / Cards or Sox games - (Chicago) • Cards / Cubs game - (St. Louis) • Chiefs / Riverman game - (peoria) • A Ravinia concert - (Chicago) • Mardi Gras - (St. Louis) • Ritual at EIU - Fall and Spring • Spring Semester Alumni Day - EIU • Area Investors clubs and finance work-shops (Continued from page 7) In Rare Form Again It was nice seeing you all and I definitely need to get back for homecoming. Restoring relations with the ladies of Sigma Kappa is at the top of my priority list. They were one of four sororities that didn't have a No-Malloy in House rule. Hope to see you soon and if I offended anyone I am sorry. I just got swept up in the excitement. It was nice seeing the Brothers!!! ~ The Alan G. Dorward Commemorative "Chops" Stencil Originally, this logo was designed by Mike Mahoney and used to cut a 4x8 sheet of plywood into a giant stencil. This wooden art making tool, the brain child of one Al Dorward (chapter president 1985), was used to make everlasting (at least a week) impressions on the parking lots of E1U 's sorority community. Al Dorward, Chris Lin-dauer, Mike Mahoney and Mark Dillon not only got to spend a Friday evening making art, but as a bonus they also got to spend a Saturday morning making suds ... soap suds. The stencil was retired and the design found its way onto surfaces a little more docile ... T-shirts.
