After listening to all this hype about Dooley and this week every spring that celebrates the resurgence of this old and respected spirit, l found myself won- dering about the nature of Dooley and his significance to Emory. Several years have passed now, but to this day, the mere sight of Dooley on campus still fills me with wonder and an enormous sense of pride. Dooley is the embodiment of eveything that is Emory. l-le is not only Emorys connection with its past, but he is also Emorys hope for its future. Many students, professors and presidents will come and go over the years, but Dooley will remain constant, always keeping a watchful eye over campus. After working for two years on the Dooley's Week Planning Com- mittee, l feel a special attachment to Mr. Dooley. l considered orga- nizing a week to celebrate and honor the return of Dooley to campus a mammoth task, but also a great privilege. To say the least, l was very pleased to see Dooleys Week N986 become such a great success. l xg,-r'--' ' -A 21:25 1137 5 X xb,-NNN' Y I M EE Vfxixx- 5 E 5.

The committee felt that the theme, The Tradition Lives On was an appropriate tribute to the perpetual spirit of Dooley. As the months rolled on, aspects of Dooleys Week began to fall into place. Con- tracts were signed, volunteers were gathered, and detailed plans were finalized. Finally, ll6 days after the first planning meeting, Dooleys Week had arrived Cn Monday evening, April 7, Dean of Campus Life, Bill Eox, officially opened Dooley's Week during convocation ceremonies which featured the Emory Chamber Singers. Ot the many events during Dooleys Week, Mr. Dooley usually attended only a very few. Needless to say, Mr. Dooleys arrival for convocation came as some- what ot a surprise. As Dooley proceeded down the aisle toward the stage, row after row of students cheered enthusiastically to welcome Dooley back to campus once again. After the formal opening Yakov Smirnoff entertained the packed audience with anecdotes about American life. Although this was the first convocation ever planned for Dooleys Week, the large student response and the great enthusi- asm may make convocation another Dooley's Week tradition. Tuesday evening was planned as Emorys night out at the movies. With the help of a large screen and a powerful sound system The upper field was to be transformed into a drive in movie.

True Ghoul cami spring rains forced all activities to be moved inside the gymnasium. Nevertheless, several hundred students enjoyed free drinks and pizza while they watched the popular films, Risky Business and Animal House. The Wednesday during Dooley's Week 1986 carried a great deal of sentiment in a tribute to Coca-Cola. ln celebration of Coke's 100th birthday and in gratitude for the special relationship between Coke and Emory, Dooley's Week hosted a grand party in which thousands of Emory students presented a toast to honor the world's most popu- lar beverage. Cver 2000 students and faculty enjoyed mounds of southern fried chicken, potato salad and rolls while they listened to the sounds of the famous Atlanta Pops Orchestra. After representa- tives of Coke and Emory made a few remarks, Dean Fox led a toast to Coke and then proceeded to cut hundreds of pieces of birthday cake. Last year, Dooley's Week welcomed a new tradition to the Emory Campus. For the first time ever, students were given the opportunity to present their talents in a competitive atmosphere. Dooley's Week 1986 continued this tradition with the return of Dooley's Annual Talent Showcase for Cure. After choosing from a field of almost 40 audition contestants, 13 people were given the opportunity to com- pete for S800 in prize money. On Thursday evening, several hun- dred people gathered in Cannon Chapel to watch their fellow class- mates sing, dance, rap and play in order to raise money for Leukemia Research at Emory, When all was said and done, a panel of celebrity judges chose the winners. Robert Strickland was award- ed first prize for his original vocal work. Once again, Dooley's Annual Talent Show proved to be a unique event and one that will have a long and exciting future. Friday is always a highlight of Dooley's Week and this year's Dooley's Week proved to be no exception. On Friday morning, several professors were surprised by the appearance of Dooley in their classrooms. According to tradition, if Dooley enters a class, the professor must dismiss the students for the day, among the students this is one of the most popular Dooley's Week traditions. Later in the afternoon, the fraternities presented the annual Dooley's Week Skits. The 1986 Skits were in keeping with the theme of Legends , For the first time in recent history, every fraternity presented a skit for Doo- ley, the guest of honor. A panel of faculty judges awarded first place to Sigma Alpha Epsilon's rendition of The Legend of Emory Athlet- ics . Immediately following the skits, Dooley's Week hosted one of the largest outdoor events that has ever been experienced at Emory. 4000 plus people gathered on the upper field to attend a concert featuring a popular group, The Bangles. For several hours, Emory students enjoyed a first-rate concert by a band of enough notoriety that the concert merited coverage on the evening news. The evening was capped off by a perfect spring sunset. Five days, 4000 pieces of chicken, 2000 rolls, 100 pizzas and 700 cans of Coca-Cola, later Dooley's Week came to its conclusion at the Saturday evening ball. More than 1500 students and quests gathered in the Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Downtown Atlanta to bring to Dooley's Week its climactic end. The highlight of the night arrived when Dooley made an appearance at the hotel complete with his battaliion of body guards. A messenger conveyed Dooley's sentiments of pleasure with the outcome of the 1986 Doo- ley's Week with the ever mounting progress of Emory and its students. Of all the college traditions across this country, Dooley and the celebration of his Week ranked among the finest. The tradition of Dooley and the respect he generated among student, faculty, and administration alike played a key role in keeping Emory in touch with its origin as well as its destiny. Tradition and respect were, after all, what Dooley's Week was all about. I by Marshall Embry C DooLEY's WEEK l7
