Although there is always the chance of other houses coming into the picture, the SNU's hold a slight edge with a total of 67 row to win the B division after points. We are close behind with 59 points, followed by the Phi Delts, a distant third, with 24 points. Out of the nine first-place tro phies awarded this year, we have captured three as have the Sigma Nu's, with the Phi Belt's, ZBT's, and Phi Kaps rounding out the winners with one apiece.

In the other sports this year, we finished second in tennis, due primarily to the efforts of Gil Haynie, who was third individually. Meanwhile, the pledges finished second to the Sigma Nu's pledges in volleyball, thus reversing the outcome of the football champion ship. We were third in cross-coun try, with Jay Reynolds, Bill Erdel, and Tom Frank making up our three man team. Third place fin ishes were also captured in A and B league volleyball. Thus the only event in which Zeta has not placed this year was A league volleyball. OUTLOOK BRIGHT At the present time basketball and bowling are in full swing. We are off to good starts in both sports and the outlook for the rest of the year is certainly bright. After a string of second place fin tainly anxious to bring the all sports trophy back to Zeta.

The football game, floats, parades, ral lies, a homecoming queen — these are all honored traditions. But this year, a week before the game and after the five finalists for queen had been selected, it was diminished and now it is a dead issue. What happened and why? We asked a high ranking student member of the Union Board, which holds the contest (or at least used to) about the situation. The fol lowing is his reply. "There has recently been shown decided that the contest would be some amount of concern over the dropped on grounds of discrimin issue of the disappearance of queen contests on I. U.'s campus.

But the token point was made, and perhaps needed attention was di rected the way of the too-often- overlooked Negro. But though their plight is real and pressing, it is generally felt that the Blacks chose a poor lamb to sacrifice. Among students there is wide spread acceptance of the general spirit of the demands made, minor annoyance over the pettiness of the complaint, but actually very little excitement over the loss of these time-honored but expendable traditions." "An ad hoc Committee On Rac ial Discrimination was appointed by past President Stahr last year to investigate possible changes needed at I. U. to equalize racial opportunity.
