Pi Kappa Phi fraternity to join University chapters next spring
By Jamie Knodel
Kansan staff writer
Students interested in joining a fraternity at the University of Kansas will have more options to choose from beginning Spring 2000.
The Interfraternity Council passed an expansion proposal last night that would allow Pi Kappa Phi fraternity to establish a chapter at the University.
Two years after the chapter is established, a committee made up of council members and the University community would review the chapter's success and progress and determine whether to invite another fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi, to the University.
Wes Simons, assistant director of greek programs, said after the expansion committee met with concerned fraternity chapter members, it developed the approved proposal, which included the performance review requirement.
"I feel more comfortable, and the presidents feel more comfortable with the counterproposal," Simons said.
Only three fraternity council members voted against the expansion proposal.
Kelsey Simcox, Phi Kappa Tau fraternity president, said he voted against the proposal because of the expansion timeline.
"We wanted to wait another year to bring the fraternity on campus," he said. "We have concerns about recruitment."
Last week, the Interfraternity Council tabled a proposal that would have brought Pi Kappa Phi fraternity to the University next fall and Delta Sigma Phi fraternity two years later.
Simons said Pi Kappa Phi was an impressive fraternity because they had the largest national philanthropy project among Greek organizations.
Push America is a two-month project when 60 fraternity members bike from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., in order to raise awareness for charities, said Jeff Esola, Pi Kappa Phi expansion director
"We are the only Greek organization to develop our own philanthropy," he said. "Since it was created in 1977, we have earned over $3 million."
Esola said the fraternity's goal was to develop the members into better men.
Ted Hammer, Delta Sigma Phi challenge team member, said the fraternity members were excited about possibly reacting the chapter at the University. The KU chapter closed during the 1970s.
Simons said the expansion committee also was impressed with Delta Sigma Phi fraternity because of its emphasis on values rather than entertainment.

Hammer said, "Delta Sigma Phi is an opportunity to provide KU student a good fraternal experience based on core values, including academics and community service."

New Dillons store hours surprise some shoppers
By Katie Burford Kansan staff writer
When Jeff Baczkowski, Lenexa junior, pulled into the parking lot of Dillons grocery store on Massachusetts Street at 12:15 a.m. Monday, he got a little surprise: The store was closed.
Dillons store 43, 1740 Massachusetts St., is no longer open 24 hours a day. Bazckowski and others will have to go elsewhere to look for munchies between midnight and 6 a.m.
"I am really disappointed," Baczkowski said. "I think they've abandoned the neighborhood."
Deanis Gaschler, a representative for Dillons, said the decision to change the store hours was strictly a business decision. He said the other two Dillons locations in Lawrence, 3000 West Sixth St. and 1015 West 23rd St., would remain open around the clock.
But for area residents,it's not the same.
"It sucks," said Jamie Abitz,
Onaga junior. "I live two blocks away, and I come a hot late at night."
Elizabeth Sheriden, Lawrence resident, she preferred to shop at night because there weren't any crowds. She said that she went to Dillons because it was closest to her residence but that now she probably would go to Checkers Foods, 2300 Louisiana St.
Lacey Comer, an employee of Checkers, said that Dillons' new hours might increase Checkers' business, but it also could increase the business at other Dillons stores.
But it's not just convenience that students will miss. It's also the unique customer traffic that the store attracted during its late night hours.
"I won't get to see all the freaks anymore," said Rebecca Ulanoff, Huntington Woods, Mich., senior. Ulanoff said she was disappointed that Dillions had changed its hours.
"I counted on having that community grocery store in a time of need," she said.
