Important ideas about alcohol awareness and university relations were brought up in the open forum atmosphere. Greeks should all be working on ways to improve their chapters, she said. "The reason this was important is because it was a chance to unify everyone on the poli cies," she said. “We came together on ideas to improve. It is good to understand that we're all work ing for the same thing," Greaves said. Webster hopes the Greek presidents relay the ideas about ways to improve the Greek System to their chapters. He said this was the first time men and women from all the chapters were able to sit down and talk about problems and possible solutions. Dr. Mike Leese, coordinator of Greek af fairs, urged students to take advantage of every possible opportunity to make Greeks more visible. He told students to let themselves be known as Greeks in Fish Camp, The Big Event and all of the other activities they are involved in. "There are a lot of opportunities out there," he said. "You simply have to take ad vantage of them."

We hope that the crime li tests will solidify our case him," Seminole County Sheriff Spokesman George Proechelsai Monday. Proechel said an eyewitness fol lowed Kaplan's vehicle toKi plan's apartment complex in Cas selberry, where police recovered five-shot .38-caliber revolver an: a handwritten note with Stark 1 address on it.
