WITH COCPfRA HON from the weatherman, per-former Tom Parker attractt a large crowd on the MSC plaza. A time for expectations Homecoming week was a time for the old and new to come together, each with its own expectations, which had begun to build long before the green and white balloons sailed off to mark the opening kick off of Saturday’s game. One much anticipated event occurred Monday on Memorial Student Center Plaza when the results of the student election led to the crowning of Sandra F. Darlington as Homecoming Queen. Attendants in her court included Robin R. Hill, senior; Lorie A. Wyant, junior; Sherri L. Dunn, sophomore; and Christina C. White, freshman. Both the campus and the downtown area were scenes throughout the week of a variety of activities. The Greek Stcpshow talent forum was sponsored by Black United Students; the New World Theatre Company performed magic, comedy, juggled and engaged in a little fire eating; President Dale F. Nitzschkc and other top administrators served hot dogs to students at the MSC in an event called Hot Dogs from Top Dogs”; and Jimbo's Carry Out and Frank’s Sandwich Shop sponsored a tailgate” party before the football game, featuring a 60-foot sandwich, soft drinks and 10 kegs of beer. In addition, there were numerous receptions and parties for alumni, and, of course, the parade and bonfire. Five hundred seventy-five persons attended a very successful Homecoming Dance Friday. Oct. 12 at Veterans Memorial Field House. The band for the 9 p.m.-l a.m. dance was “The Maxx,” a seven-member group that played popular dance music for the year, ranging from the soft sounds of Chicago to the electrifying music of Prince.” Wadina Daniels, in charge of organizing the dance, and Joe Marshman, coordinator of student activities, said the turnout was much better than in previous years. It was a week of high expectations and satisfying results, right down to the 35-7 triumph over Appalachian State. Homecoming—II
