Bear-y big

Junior Adam Schaffer (left) and senior George Schweitzer put some finishing touches on a 6 1/2-foot-tall bear head, part of a 35-to-45-foot-tall monument on the grounds of the Theta Xi fraternity house. Members of the fraternity teamed with Chi Omega sorority members to build the massive bear out of wood, wire and tissue paper to celebrate Homecoming Oct. 17-19.
