Greek Week ends in song

Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Kappa ended Greek Week activities on a high note after the Greek Sing on Sunday at Hoch Auditorium.
The two greck houses were named this year's winners of Greek Week, which began Thursday. Points were awarded for participation and for placing in the events.
Greek Sing, vocal presentations by teams from several Greek houses, was the finale for Greek Week. Other activities included a scavenger hunt, kickball and volleyball games, tug of war, a dough-eating contest, and
Although the exact total has not been determined, Todd Fowler, Interfraternity Council president, estimated that $2,000 was raised during Greek Week.
an all-greek party at the Phi Kappa
Plui house.
This year, Greek Week was more philanthropy-oriented than it has been in the past, said Trisha Harris, vice president of sorority affairs for Panhellenic. Clothing and appliances were gathered for the scavenger hunt and donated to the Salvation Army. The money from the party will be distributed to local charitable organizations, she said.
Mimi Brown, vice president of
campus affairs for Panbellenc, said she thought that Greek Week had been successful and that all the houses had worked hard.
At the Greek Sing, a new KU program was introduced called Best Buddies. It will allow KU students to work with mentally retreated adults and children on an individual basis. The Best Buddies program will be open to the entire campus, Harris said.
Best Buddies was founded at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., by Anthony Kennedy Shriver. When Harris worked with the Special Olympics in Wichita during the summer, she met Shriver.
Rundle to make recycling proposal
By Dave Wakefeld

City commissioner Mike Rundle plans to present two proposals tonight aimed at increasing Lawrence's involvement with recycling.
Rundle said last week that he would ask the commission at tonight's meeting to initiate mass mailings to educate Lawrence residents about its opportunities for recycling.
cult to calculate, and Patricia Marvin, Lawrence recycling coordinator
His second proposal will call for a city-sponsored pilot program that would place spare city trash dumpsters as collection points at apartment complexes throughout Lawrence, he said.
Because Lawrence has been recycling papers and aluminum, she said, calculating the additional savings would result in a conservative estimate.
The River City Recycling Co. has been recycling about 60,000 pounds of glass a month, said Kirk Devine, coworker of the company.
Because landfill costs are a minimum of $9 a ton, the city could save $180 a month or more.
Recycling has been difficult to initiate in apartment complexes because of the lack of storage space for recyclable materials, Rundle said.
The amount is difficult to calculate, Marvin said, because the amount of additional materials is unknown.
A city-sponsored competition among apartment complexes, with the city providing the dumpsters, could show the feasibility of recycling in these complexes, he said.
George Williams, Lawrence public works director, said that if the apartments made space for vehicles, they could fund several dumplers for a pilot study.

Number of majors in English on rise
Kansen staff writer
The number of English majors at the University of Kansas has more than doubled since 1984.
In Fall 1984, 201 students majored in English at KU. By Fall 1989, that number had increased to 550.
This increase was reflected throughout the country and can be attributed to many factors, said Michael Johnson, chairman of the department of English.
The increase has made English the fifth largest department in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Psychology, political science, communication studies and biology rank one through four in that order.
"Second, the business school increased the standards, and a lot of people had to find a new major. Third, there was a disillusionment with the computer science or business major. Computer science became too hard to get into."
"I think there are a lot of things that feed into it," Johnson said. "First, when the personnel administration major was pulled, a major shift occurred. A lot of those people went into English."
Sandy Cook, associate professor of English, said many students

chose English because of their interest in the subject.
"Students will come here and want to major in English because maybe they've been encouraged with their writing in high school, or they like to read," he said. "There are two worried parents standing behind him because they wonders what kind of job he can get."
Cook said the market for English majors was increasing.
"A lot of business schools are emphasizing the importance of a good English background," he said.
Cook said English majors adjusted well in the business world because English required analytical skills.
"In English classes, you have to analyze a lot of abstracts," he said. "Students in English classes can go on to analyze anything."
Johnson said he thought many students chose English as a major when other choices fell through.

"Very few students come here and say, 'I'm going to major in English,' " he said. "They come here thinking, 'I'm going to major in chemistry.' Then they find chemistry is too hard. They have experience in English, the classes are small and it's relatively easy to get to know the teacher."
