Pi Kappa Phi colonizes at the University of Kansas Through the efforts of field secretaries Andy Towson and Craig Biehl Pi Kappa Phi began formal colonization procedures at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.

The Calypso research vessel, made famous through the popular Jacque Cousteau series.
Ray Russ, Epsilon Epsilon, a senior at Clinch Valley College recently had the opportunity to work aboard the famed research vessel Calypso while on Christmas break in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Russ, an environmental science major, learned of the temporary position aboard the ship while visiting the Cousteau headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia. The ship was due to go for a complete overhaul in order to repair damages incurred while on its last voyage to the Great Lakes region. Along with repairs it will also be modified for its next research expedition -- its longest yet, which will take her to the Caribbean and eventually to South America where Captain Cousteau and crew will attempt to journey up to the headwaters of the Amazon in order to determine man's impact on the river and the delicate ecosystems which surround it. Russ's job consisted of keeping inventory and storing the delicate array of scientific equipment aboard the ship which consists of everything from a Hovercraft and Helicopter to several one and two-man diving submarines. While working with the ship's first mate, Russ
had the opportunity to meet the Calypso's more prominent members including Captain Cousteau and his wife, Cousteau's son JeanMichelle, and many others who form the nucleus of the exploration group.

Russ, who spent last summer in Scotland collecting data for the University of Glasgow, is currently Archon of Epsilon Epsilon Chapter and is student body president at Clinch Valley College. He plans to continue working for the Cousteau Society during the summer until he returns to college in the fall.
