Greeks compete for fun, charity
By Will Lewis
Kansan staff writer
The weather at Saturday's Greek Olympics was a little cooler than that of those held in Barcelona, Spain, last summer.
And the events held on the front lawn of Allen Field House were a completely different story.
Wheelbarrow racing, chicken fights, tug of war, an obstacle course and a pie-eating contest ended Greek Week 1983, "Unity Amidst Diversity," which began last Monday.
"This was just a day to loom up and get everyone together," said Joe Karpinski. Lenexa sophomore and a coordinator of the event.
Cindy Sparks, Prairie Village sophomore and member of Sigma Kappa sorority, participated in the wheelbarrow race. She walked on her hands as her partner wore a paper bag on his face to increase the difficulty
Erin Connell, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, and her team, Alpha Delta Pi, compete in front of Allen Field House in a tug-of-war during the Greek Olympics. Saturday's events ended this year’s Greek Week.
While the events were under way, members from each living organization made sculptures from canned goods. The fraternities and sororites used the cans they had collected and brought to Tuesday night's baseball
"I fell down quite a bit," Sparks said, gasping for air. "It was harder than I thought it would be."
game at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
All 10,000 cans were taken to the Salvation Army after the sculptures were judged.
Greek Week began Monday with a cookout at the National Guard Armory, where attendance was taken for points. A student/faculty casino ran Tuesday night where participants
wagered mounds of play money to score points for their living groups. Greeks scrambled around Thursday at a scavenger hunt in search of items needed by the Salvation Army, and a carnival was held Friday where members from each chapter spent time with children at the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence.
First, second and third places for fraternities went to Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Kappa Lambda and Sigma Chi, respectively. The sororites with the most points were Sigma Kappa, Pi Beta Phi and Alma Gamma Delta respectively. Winners were determined by points accumulated from each of the week's events.
KU Gamers and Role Players hold convention

Slaying dragons, fighting aliens and dwarfs, attempting to outsmart an all-powerful computer that controls the city — not the typical weekend action for KU students, but about 70 gamers and role players spent the weekend doing just that.
Warhammer, Warhammer Fantasy and Periphery
KU Gamers and Role Players (KUGAR) sponsored a gaming convention Friday and Saturday at the Quality Inn, 2222 W. Sixth St. Most of the people who attended the convention were from Lawrence, but a few from Topeka and the Kansas City area also attended, said Alex Baker, president of KUGAR
Participants at the convention played Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Werewolf, Paranoid,
The games are a combination of game and storytelling. Baker said. From six to eight players and one storyteller positioned around a large table play the games. The storyteller leads the game, while he attempts to control the heated arguments that sometimes can erupt during a battle. Games can last up to six hours and are full of decisions that could lead the player to either death or glory.
Periphery is a science-fiction game developed by Gareth Skarka, Lawrence junior. Skarka said that he was in the process of testing the game and that he hoped the game would be released in August.
"My second child is also due in August, so there could be a slight delay," he said, smiling.
videos of Japanese animation, art by KU and Lawrence artists, competition in board games such as Supremacy, Go, Risk and chess and an appearance by Lawrence horror author Crispin Burnham. Burnham is the publisher and editor of *Eldritch Tales* magazine.
Along with the role-playing games, the convention sponsored a miniature figure painting contest.
Ryan Fleissing, Lawrence resident, said he had spent about four hours painting the miniature that he took to the convention.
"They are used in the Warhammer game "Flessing said." There are elves, dwarfs, ogres, goblins, creatures of chaos and the undead, and my favorite, ratmen."
Jason Burge, Snawne sophomore, won the best miniature in the competition, and Jen Decker, Lawrence resident, won the speed-painting competition.
