Ground Breaking Is
Set For Lambda CN’s
In connection with Greek Week.
Lambda Chi Alpha will break
ground on Saturday, April 1, at
3:00 p.m. for a lodge next to the
ATO's. Actual construction of the
wooden structure will begin before
the end of spring quarter. April
Fool's Day is quite appropriate for
the groundbreaking because two
years ago only a fool would have
believed that Zeta-Omega chapter
would ever construct a lodge. Satur
day will thus mark another mile
stone in the very recent rebirth of
the local chapter.
Mrs. Charles Stone, widow of the
chapter's former advisor and Mer
cer’s librarian for over twenty
years, will formally break ground
for the modern structure. It is
significant that Mrs. Stone should
participate in the rebirth of Zeta-
Omega, for Dr. Stone not only
founded the local chapter, but also
four others.
Following the groundbreaking
there will be an informal tea held
in the president's dining room.
Lambda Chi's White Roses will he
hostesses for the event. All mem
bers of the thirteen other social
organizations are cordially invited
to attend both afternoon activities.
At 8:00 p.m. Saturday evening
a banquet will be held at the Davis
House Cafeteria in honor of the
parents and alumni. Mr. George
Sapsyk. National Service Secretary,
will be the after-dinner speaker.
Alpha Gamma Delta's folk singers.
"The Motley Five," will provide
entertainment.
The Lambda Chi's can hardly
wait to join the other fraternities
next fall on Mercer’s fabulous
fraternity row!
LavaKers Hit CN 0’s
"Big Hoo" got her man and the
"Hotdof” stopped skating. Sarah
Smith is lavaliered to Roddy Clark,
A TO. and Rufus Dowell, Phi Delt,
and Kim Kieburtz are lavaliered.
Still more congratulations to Tish
Eubanks who is lavaliered to Roger
Anderburg. SAE, and Marianna

. . Student Spotlight . .
Dori Ripley
Two outstanding members of the
freshman class are spotlighted this
week. The female counterpart goes
to Dori Ripley, a vivacious Phi Mu
pledge from Fort Pierce, Florida
Dori has really made herself known
in many aspects of campus life. She
was the only freshman on this
year's varsity cheerleading squad
which is quite an accomplishment.
Next she was elected as ROTC
Sponsor for Headquarters Com
pany. Following she became Home
coming Queen for KA at the
KA-ATO football game. Her most
recent honor is quite outstanding
Dori was elected by the freshman
girls as president of their WSGA.
Dori really adds greatly to the
Mercer campus, bb does the other
half of the student of the week
Mark Steinbeck
The male counterpart is Mark
Steinbeck Mark comes to Mercer
from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He
immediately became known on
campus when he was elected as
president of the freshman class.
Mark is very active with the Alpha
Tau Omegas as a pledge.
Mark is really known out on the
baseliall diamond as pitcher for the
Mercer Bears. As a freshman, he
has done a fine job pitching in the
two games he has hurled in this
season. His first game was with
Greenville College where Mercer
won 8-2. In the Georgia State game
he pitched an 8-1 game. All in all,
in 16 innings the opposing teams
have only had 1 earned run against
his pitching. Mark can be seen
pitching in the upcoming game
against Malone.
Claudia Views Spring Break
(Editor’s Note: The author of this article as most of you know
I’m sure is one of Mercer’s cheerleaders. An active student
this pert and pretty girl also authored the series “Meet the
Cheerleaders" in last quarter’s papers. Claudia is truly an
asset to the school in general and to the Cluster in particular.)
by Claudia Young
Spring break is unlike any other
vacation during the school year
During Thanksgiving and Christ
mas breaks, thoughts turn home
ward to a holiday season with the
family. Because Mercer's spring
break does not come during any
holiday season, the thought of a
peaceful family vacation is replaced
by other plans. By the end of win
ter quarter “spring fever" has in
fected most of the student body.
After a long, cold quarter of study
ing. the only place to cure this fever
is Florida. Sun, surf, and sand are
all the essential ingredients of Flori
da’s attraction. Plans begin mid
quarter. Daytona Beach and Ft.
l^iuderdale are the most popular
places to go.
From the time I smelled the
Orange blossoms of Orlando and
the salt water of Daytona, 'til I
returned to the paper mills of
Macon. I learned a lot about Flori
da. As a Yankee who had never
been to Florida, several things sur
prised me. Would you believe that
alligators don’t walk down the main
streets? Would you believe grape
fruits don't grow on vines? Instead,
the orange blossoms were in bloom
and the beach was populated with
kids from all over the states. It was
like a continuous intra-fraternity
party, with chapters of almost
every national fraternity repre
sented. There were groups of Sig
ma Nus, Phi Delta, SAEs, Kappa
Sigs, and ATOs from schools all
over the country. Sororities were
also represented. It was like a
national convention, comparing
school events and fraternity and
sorority accomplishments. If the
question "Do you know ?”
was asked once, it was asked a
million times. It seemed as if every
one was trying to meet everyone
else on the beach in as short a time
as possible.
Hell's Angels made an appear
enee at the beach, probably to view
the National Motorcycle Contests
held at Daytona that week end.
It was a sight to see the main
streets of Daytona liner! as far as
the eye could see, with motorcycles
of all sizes and descriptions. The
riders of these cycles defy descrip
tion. They merely served as a con
versation piece for the collegians
at the many dances held continual
ly during the day
Despite the cold weather, the
surfers and swimmers were in the
surf all day long. The waves were
extremely good, and the swells
lasted all week-end. Most, however,
were content to ride up and down
the beach waving and meeting
everyone in sight But as all things
do, spring break came to an end
Sunburned and "rested", the col
legiana packed their bags to return
to the colleges all over the country
in an effort to attain the goal of
higher education common to us all'
