I am not the first one to say this, and I won’t be the last one either. Opinions vary greatly about Georgia Southern’s tabloid-sized weekly, and to most students the paper has different pur- poses and means different things; to me it means more than two years of my life.

Back in the early 1940’s, a service organization was formed on campus. This group marked the beginning of a vast system of Greek organizations which were destined to grow and influence the college is many areas. The number now stands at 16 and this figure continues to grow. Prior to spring quarter of 1967, all Greek organizations were service groups. In the wake of reforms initiated last spring, however, all organizations have rapidly converted into social groups and previously non- existent groups have organized. Greek organizations include Kappa Delta Ep- silon, Delta Zeta Zeta, Tau Alpha, Phi Mu, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Tau Omega, Chi Sigma, Delta Tau, Kappa Sigma, Nu Sigma, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Epsilon Chi (petitioning Kappa Alpha), Sigma Pi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Epsilon Phi and Tau Kap- pa Epsilon.

Sigma Alpha lata Sigma Alpha Iota is an international professional fraternity for women in the field of music. It was founded June 12, 1903 at Ann Arbor, Michigan. Its purpose is to promote the highest ideals of mu- sicianship in the school, community and throughout the world. The total membership of sisters in the United States is 31,927.

Tipoff time is 7:30 p.m. Guilford boasts one of the strongest attacks in the nation this year with big 6’8” center Bob Kauffman leading the way. The Quakers are third in the nation in team field goal shooting with a .559 percentage. They rank second in the nation in team rebounding and in Kauffman, have the nations’ number one small college re- bounder. He is averaging 24.8 rebounds per game. 74-73 The big center scored 23 a- gainst Southern last year as Guilford fell to the Eagles in Guilford, N. C. 74-73. All-Amer- ican Jimmy Rose led GSC last season against Guilford with 20 points. Guilford’s offense is built a- round Kauffman, who is averaging 24.3 points per ball game. “He was tough last year and from all I’ve heard he’s twice as tough this year,” remarked Southern Coach Frank Rado- vich. Kauffman’s field goal percentage is astounding as the senior from New York has hit 118 of 165 shots from the field for a .715 percentage.

THE GEORGE - ANNE Fri., Jan. 26 1 968 Page 7 Tennis Just Around Corner 1967 Netters 12-8 Mark By Dan Stiles Sports Writer Although there’s quite a bit of action still left on the hardwood as the unpredictable basketballers sail into the second half of their season, it is not too soon to turn one’s eyes to the tennis courts adjacent to the Hanner Gym - that is, if they can be seen amid all the piles of dirt and equipment that limit the view. And as we find the eight tenneco courts, we wonder: What kind of tennis is played at Souther?

By DAN STILES Sports Writer Let’s look back a couple of years. The 1965-66 tennis season proved to be the most successful in the five years that tennis had been a part of the athletic program. That year the Eagle netters posted a 8-9 record. The next year under the direction of David Hall, the netters turned it on strong and flew to a 12-8 record to be the most successful ever.
