Frat Features
With this edition, the Courier
begins a series of articles on

fraternities and sororities. The
first article (on page 2) deals

will cover initiation procedures,
frat life, etc.

side the court through negotia¬
tion.

torium.

“Oscar,” and produces a film in
which he has incorporated all the
guaranteed elements.
“Antigone” was directed by
George Tzavellas in 1962, and is
a drama which mixes simple and
uncluttered action, character’s
driven by instinct and passion,
and voices that eloquently speak
the beauty of the language.

rakis and Irene Pappas. It has
English sub-titles.
