EXHIBITION Sponsored by the ROTC, the Homecoming parade affords campus organizations a rare experience in a relaxed atmosphere. Parade units regress from the rigid fete of the mili- tary to the slackened propriety of Greek and campus entries. The spectacle and exposition, synonymous with the traditional concept of the parade, are not lost at Home- coming; rather it is intensified by many artistic and frequently animated entries. Band Club adds more liveliness to the Homecoming spirit. L ' Acadien ' s unique 75-foot dragon gains a third-place parade plaque for the staffroom. Alpha fraternity members and their dates fully enjoy the parade.
