Attendance up at Greek Week
Turnout on the first day of the delayed Greek Week pleased the leaders of the four-day activities, which started Wednesday.
Two chairmen of Greek Week, which is sponsored by Panehillen and the Interfraternity Council, said yesterday that the first day of activities ran smoothly and that the events had more participation than those in previous years.
"I think it went over a lot better this year than it has in the past," Donna Meeker, Greek Week chairman and vice-president of Panhellenic, said. "Everybody I talked to said it was great."
Bill Southern, another Greek Week chairman, said that past Greek Weeks faded out of the scene" of fraternities and because they were not publicized well.
Southern said Greek Week was postponed from last spring to this week because Panhellenic and IFC started planning Greek Week too late in the semester and they wanted it to be more successful than past Greek Weeks.
"I never knew about them until they were already over," he said.
Meeker said that the two activities on Wednesday, a picnic for children at the Hilltop Day Care Center and a "Greek Night at the Drive-In," were successful. She and Southern said they attended an event that surprised about 800 students attended the "Greek Night" event, held at the Sunset Drive-In Theatre, RFD 1.

Committee plans student opinion survey
By LISA MASSOTH Staff Reporter
Students will have a chance to express their views about sexual harassment and about foreign administration-sponsored survey.
The Student Opinion Survey Program, established to gather information on the attitudes and interests of KU students, will sponsor the poll of about 500 students in 30 classes for the survey.
David Ambler, viceencer for student affairs, said the survey was an effort by the administration to stay in touch with students.
"It relates to a whole program we
started last year, which we intend to have as an ongoing program every year," he said. "We want student opinion on issues affecting the University, not just questions the administration is interested in."
Questions will not be accepted if they concern faculty or staff, if they are from an individual, from an off-credit program, or if they will be used for academic credit.
ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN the University can submit questions for the survey, but there are certain restrictions.
Request forms for submitting questions are available in the office of the vice chancellor for student affairs, 214 Strong Hall.
The Student Opinion Survey Committee, which consists of students, faculty and administrators, will screen all the questions and determine which ones will be used.
The committee hopes to run two surveys a semester, Ambler said.
Barbara Paschke, committee chairman, and research assistant for Institutional Research and Planning, said the survey would provide information quickly and effectively.
"It is a way of gathering information from students rapidly and validly, using well-established techniques like Gallup," she said.
Allan Cigler, associate professor
of political science and a member of the committee, said the survey would help some groups on campus identify crucial problems.
"It will set an agenda for some of the major issues students and University administration are concerned about," he said.
CIGLER ALSO SAID the Committee wanted the survey to be conducted carefully, especially when it dealt with sensitive issues such as sexual harassment and attitudes about foreign students.
The surveys will be conducted by
students who take a short training course in administering surveys, Paschke said.
"They learn how to give a survey to a group in a uniform way," she said. "They need to know how to do this." Or, "who does it?" or "who puts it?"
Paschke said she had asked around to find students to give the survey, and was interested in from anyone who would like to help.
THE FIRST SURVEY was conducted last April, Ambler said, and it dealt with a variety of issues, including whether beer should be housed in Memorial Stadium and how students felt about evaluating faculty.
