The Student Senate Publicity committee sponsored a Cystic Fybrosis drive this term.
The Publicity committee had encouraged campus organizations to become involved by sponsoring a fundraiser. M. The following is a list of the organizations, the amount they raised, and the type of fund- raiser they held:
The Sophomore Class amount of $120.00 is not a final figure. At thistime, the runners have run 2,700 miles. The run is not an actual crossing of the country, but it is a 3,000 mile equivalent run. The anticipated total figure for the entire campaign is $875.90. Fee Cut Progress Progress in refunding this term’s facilities fee seems inevitable at this point. An unusual consensus between the administration, student press and Student Senate favors the principle that students should get something for the $10 sports center fee or else get their money back. According to President Blacking‘ton, an in- formal request has -been made to Oakland for the refund and a formal written request will be made shortly. “In the fifties, fraternities were the prevailing rage. In the sixties, a sense of individuality and independence caused fraternity membership to drop. And now, in the seventies, Greek membership is surging again, especially in the last few years.” This comment was made by, Tony Lupinetti, president of the Intrafraternal Council (I.F.C.).. He had held this office since April of 1977. He is a member of the Lambda Sigma Rho fraternity. Lupinetti described the total experience of Greek life: “In reference to UP], Greek life gives greater sense of belonging; it promotes an opportunity to return to this campus, and it enhances social encounters beyond the college situation.” Lupinetti says that the recent acquisition of Greek housing “is a definite boost for a sense of identity.” The University policy concerning Greek housing considers University interests as well as Greek interests. The policy’s format is based on situational experiences, according to Lupinetti.
Delta Chi fraternity was the first student organization to donate to the Pitt-Johnstown Flood '77 Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund.

The University has pledged to match up to $10,000 contributed by student organizations. From The Panther February 19, 1971 editors note: In the mid 1980's This very article inspired brother Phil Skuta to initiate the adoption process of another young boy in South America after he was unable to locate Pham Ngoc Tung due to the fall of Viet Nam to the North Vietnamese. One of the children sponsored through the Foster Parents Plan may not have a foster mother but he has foster fathers.
Their present home is a cement dwelling with a corrugated roof. This “home” mea- sures 12’ x 19’ and contains a bed, I A ¢“c TUN a cot, a table, a small closet, and . a few cooking utensils. Living con- ditions are very poor. «Tang pays a tuition of $1.71 a month to attend school; he hopes someday to become a teacher. Three of his six brothers and sis- ters are also attending school. Through the fraternity’s dona- tions, Foster Parents Plan is able to provide the boy with clothing, medical services, and other necessi- ties such as household needs, sani- tation and hygiene products, and a monthly cash allowance.
