The Greek system’s seven-month stretch without a permanent, full-time adviser will end July 1, when Anita Triggs assumes the position of Greek life coordinator.

Triggs, who served last year as Penn State’s assistant director of fraternity and sorority life, will be responsible for advising Pitt’s Greek leaders and organizations, as well as reviewing and putting into place recommendations from last spring’s report on the Greek system.

A memo from Associate Dean of Student Affairs Birney Harrigan called Triggs “an outstanding professional dedicated to developing council officers as leaders and challenging the students to make a positive impact in the Greek community.”

Before working at Penn State, Triggs served as an assistant director of Greek affairs, an assistant first-year adviser and a graduate assistant for minority recruitment and retention, all at the University of Miami in Ohio.

Police issue underage drinking citations at Cumpie’s

Twelve people were cited, Friday night, for underage drinking at Cumpie’s, a bar in South Oakland.

At about 10:30 p.m., City of Pittsburgh police officers arrived at Cumpie’s, which opened under new ownership in January, after being closed for eight months. Police said the Liquor Control Board would probably file a citation against the bar after Friday’s individual citations.

According to the Liquor Control Board, the bar’s previous owners faced many citations for serving underage customers. To prevent the loss of their liquor license, registration for the bar transferred from The Next Decade to A.P.Q. Inc, listing Arthur P. Quinn as the president, secretary, treasurer and owner.

An LCB representative said such transfers are common when an owner wishes to pass on a business that faces many fines without causing the license to dissolve. The LCB performs background checks on every person involved in such a transfer, including Arthur P. Quinn, to ensure that the previous and new owners are not related, the representative said.

The transfer to A.P.Q. Inc., which currently faces no citations, was approved on December 18, 2002.
