Homecoming Pow Wow The 1987 Homecoming Pow Wow began much the same way as those in the past with Gene Deckerhoff introducing the Marching Chiefs and FSU Cheerleaders. Both groups gave rousing performances to get the crowd psyched for the rest of the show and the Homecoming game. Next, the winners in the float and banner categories were announced as were the Greek winners. The ceremonial part of the Pow Wow con- cluded with the Chief Princess Court, from which John A. Medina was crowned Home- coming Chief and Teresa Snow became the new Homecoming Princess. Finally, Jimmy Davis and the Junction opened for the act many had come to see — The Outfield. They gave a great concert and put everyone who attended in the perfect frame of mind for the Homecoming game the following day. Kristin Johnson Princess Teresa Snow and Chief John A. Medina are the jubilant new royalty (above). The Homecoming Court anxiously awaits the announcement of the King and Queen (top).

Not Another Parking Ticket?! One problem that is universal to almost all students at Florida State at some time in their college career, is the inability to ever find a parking space on campus! Last year alone, over 12,000 students purchased decals, foolishly hoping to park in one of the 3,500 available student parking spaces (that number includes the stadium parking lot). All totalled, there are probably more than 12,000 students with cars, it ' s just that the others can ' t afford a permit, don ' t even try to park on campus, attempt to sneak into one of the few metered visitor spaces, or simply park illegally. The Parking Services people probably don ' t mind the latter too much, because although illegal parking may mean extra leg-work in terms of ticketing, the revenues ge nerated from the 70,000 citations issued vearlv con- stitute SIXTY PERCENT of all of the money they take in; 30% comes from decal purchases, and the last 10% comes from meter money So what are the solutions to this never-ending saga? One option is to park at the stadium (if you get there early enough) and use the Seminole Express bus system. Partially funded through Student Government and Parking Services, the five busses that run every fifteen minutes, shuttle many students from the stadium to anywhere on campus they need to go. Many students feel the busses are effective unless they are running late or fill up too fast. Another alternative would be to limit freshman parking. Thirty-five percent of the total student pop- ulation has registered their vehicles, and 19% of those people are freshmen. Restricting these particular un- derclassmen as other universities presently do, could help, but the problem would still be omnipresen t. One last option that many students turn to is riding bikes to school. Of course this presents such problems as the chance of theft, extreme temperatures which make riding unpleasant, the many hills one must fight to get up, and even limited bike parking areas.

The Magic Of The Seminole Spirit Comes Alive At Homecoming Homecoming was festive as ever this year with bright splashes of garnet and gold wherever one looked. The events were started with the tradi- tional parade in which sixty-three different floats and cars expressed in as many dif- ferent ways their interpretation of the theme — The Magic of the Seminole Spirit. Some of the more outstanding entries in- cluded: Sigma Chi and Tri Delt ' s replica of Wescott behind which Chief Osceola was riding atop a unicorn; the FSU Sailing Club ' s entry; and cars filled with the class with class — alumni who graduated in 1957. After the fun of the parade ended at around 4:00, enthusiastic students and alums alike went to celebrate at pre-Pow Wow parties. Then, thousands headed to the Civic Center to see The Outfield and get pepped-up at the Pow Wow, and after- wards, post-Pow Wow parties were sure to follow. Bright and early Saturday morning, Om- icron Delta Kappa held their Grads Made Good breakfast at which three of FSU ' s successful alumni were honored for their achievements. This year ' s recipients includ- ed: corporate vice president, John Jay Joe Gangloff; former community college pres- ident, Dr. A. Hugh Adams; and television news anchor, Mary Anne Loughlin. Alums and parents spent the afternoon buying spirit-boosting clothes and touring the campus to see all the changes that have taken place. Finally, the crowds filled the stadium for the big game against Tulane, and watched as the Green Wave was drowned 73-14.
