‘Ball State —Our World’ welcomes families, alums at Homecoming Homecoming fever hit before October be- gan as dorms, sororities and fraternities planned front lawn displays and floats. The theme, ‘Ball State — Our World,’ was gen- eral and gave students a lot of lee-way in slogans. With floats and displays well under way, the Homecoming Steering Committee turned to other activities. Queen candidates, nomi- nated last spring, still had to be voted on. Wednesday, Sept. 27, ID’s were marked, display pictures studied and the queen and her court were chosen. Linda Bouman, a veteran in beauty contests and a Clevenger Hall candidate, was selected queen with Susan Wade, first runner-up; Kathy O'Rourke, second runner-up; Christy Mar- cus, third runner-up; and Chris Crawford, fourth runner-up, as her court.

The next major event was Tuesday, Oct. 10 — the Kick-off Games. In this, dorms competed against one another in every- thing from a necking relay to a centipede race. Wood 1 and Wagoner 4 were overall champions. Campus spirit “fired up’ Friday night at the Bonfire on the Field and Sports lot. People drifted from this to attend the all- campus Variety Show, which began at nine. Following the Homecoming theme, the Vari- ety Show surveyed Ball State through the years in song and dance built around their theme, “Where the Roads Come Together.” A free film on the Arts Terrace was shown after the Variety Show at midnight.
